‘Remembering’ the truth.
The truth of who you are
Is very simple to grasp (saral)
Or let’s say
The truth of who or what you are not.
You see,
The problem is in ‘remembering’ the truth.
You cannot even remember who ‘you’ are. We self forget ALL the time.
Then how can you ‘remember” the truth?
And Truth isn’t something that can be remembered through memory
It is contained
In the continuous supply of the now
If you want to know the truth,
Realize it in the now
And continue realizing it
Again and again and again.
Like breathing.
And like everything in life.
Eating once isn’t enough;
You must eat everyday.
Sleeping, cleaning once
Isn’t enough.
You must do it everyday.
Each time every time
Each day every day.
Similarly, you can either try to “remember the now” (see how absurd it sounds)
Or you can stay present in the now,
Stay present by continuing to let go
of what ‘was’
Let go ofYesterday,
the last hour,
the last minute,
the last second,
The previous breath.
You have to continue letting go
of who you were
Yesterday, today, the last hour,
The last minute,
the last second.
Because you see,
you are a continuous supply of ‘you’,
a projection if you will.
Renewing yourself every moment
With every breath and belief.
But we want a continuous supply of the past
We aren’t ready to let go; step ahead
So life has to push us,
Corner us into changing
We want what ‘was’ to continue into the now,
And if it doesn’t,
We drag it along with us
With our memory.
So you see, the truth of who you are
Is not ‘remembering’ who you are
But realizing it, in the now
Every moment.
Who you were the last second
Doesn’t count anymore.
(Like the part of an incense stick
That had finished burning,
It gave its its fragrance, like a flower
And is now turned to dust)
In order to hold the idea of “you”
You must continue to repeat actions
To create the supply of “you”
If you change the actions you repeat
You change the “you”
That you were.
So, maybe don’t try to remember the truth
Try to live it, in every breath,
Don’t try to carry your hard-disk with you.
It can’t go where you’re headed.
You shall leave with energy
You came with energy
You are energy.
Realize it every moment
With every breath
And let go of what was
Even in the last moment.
