“I” and “You” cannot Love

 Just like your old radio cannot play YouTube videos, “I” and “you” cannot love. We are looking for and at the wrong thing with the wrong thing. This “I” and “you”  is incapable of love or trust or faith and so and so. It is because “I” and “you” are nothing more than bundle of memories, the mind. You are the past. The mind is made from particles of past, and it can only hold the past. Just like your hands can never grasp the flowing water from river, mind fails to perceive or to ever be present. 

First of all it is wrong or foolish to try to be present, or grasp the present. And secondly, mind is not the tool to do so. So what we are doing is, we are looking for and at the wrong thing from the wrong thing. Yet it is the right thing as it suggests the mind is working perfectly, functioning healthily. Because minds function is to do the wrong thing, to stay away from what is. And by trying to stay with what is, we are out of what is, yet under the what is. Such a lovely play of mind it is.

One might wonder, what all of this “what is” has to do with love, trust, or faith and so and so? Well, they all are just the same thing, the one thing expressed differently. They all imply freedom. Freedom from what?  There is only one bondage, which can again be expressed differently. I would like to express it or call it attachment. We attach to everything. And ironically, everything is just thought, which in-fact is nothing. Such a lovely play of mind. 

If we express differently, we can also say the bondage is to not stay with what is. What is means the fact, the truth, the actual, the present moment. We are endlessly comparing, comparing what is with what should be and what could be. This what should be and what could be are our ideals, whom we chase or compare ourselves to feel pity or proud. This endless comparison is bondage.

Everything you see is your own thoughts. When you see me, your mind instantly interprets what you perceive, creating an output—a thought. That thought is what you truly see. So you are basically seeing only yourself, your thoughts. When you say Nikit is bad, it is the translation by mind of the memories Nikit and you shared together. So Nikit and his badness is basically just you. 

Unless you open your eyes and look around, you cannot have love or whatever. But this “I” or “You” is incapable of opening eyes. The “I” doing its job perfectly itself is love. And this “I” failing to see that love is everywhere already, itself is perfect functioning and this is love.
