The Circular movement in a Spiral

Kert Gunasekaran A obedient human’s challenge is this, a sacrifice, a prayer, a commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion are all the stepping stones invented by man to guide, train their inner compass towards the unknow, away from all the other distractions humans have invented from the occupation of mind. But it becomes a distraction when they don’t know where to go and start going in circles. Repetition is never the answer, but there will be some repetition needed for growth. There is circular movement in a spiral. But the path is a spiraling out journey not a circular one, though it feels like you are going in circles, your challenges will grow so will you. But if you keep falling into the monotony of repetition with no growth, it becomes your trap away from the unknown. You will practice sacrifice, prayer, commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion with no avail. This becomes your trap, others may follow you or find you disciplined, even noble but that’s irrelevant. Your covenant is to grow with the unknown not climb social determinants or conformities. That is no true bearing in your inner growth. I have found rich religious fools I despise and poor wise people I embrace with affection.

A obedient human’s challenge is this, a sacrifice, a prayer, a commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion are all the stepping stones invented by man to guide, train their inner compass towards the unknown, and away from all the other distractions humans have invented from the occupation of mind. But they all become a distraction when they don’t know where to go and start going in circles demanding things and answers. Repetition is never the answer, but there repetition is necessary for growth.  

There is circular movement in a spiral. But the path is a spiraling out journey not a circular one, though it feels like you are going in circles, your challenges will grow so will you. But if you keep falling into the monotony of repetition with no growth, it becomes your circular trap away from the unknown. You will practice sacrifice, prayer, commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion with no avail. This becomes your trap, others may follow you or find you disciplined, even find you noble but that’s irrelevant like fools gold. Your covenant is to grow with the unknown not climb social determinants and tainted conformities. That is no true bearing in your inner growth. I have found rich religious fools I despise and poor wise people I embrace with affection.

The unknown (god) wants nothing from you, no sacrifices, no rituals, no prayers, no commitments, no temples, no statues, no songs, no chants, no ceremonies, no religious frameworks, not even a thanks. For nothing that is humanly possible can near the unknown. But simply be with the unknown, be in the unknown. Allow your heart and mind to be filled with the unknown, the trees have, the birds have, the skies have, mother earth has. Allow yourself to be filled with gratitude, grace and peace, there is guidance there, there will lie a path for you, you will not lead but be lead. I hope you experience it. You will discard you as much as you can, feel the blessing that was always waiting for you, for you doesn’t exist. And that will do. APTTU
