Part VII : Darshan: About Meditation
A sannyasin says: I keep falling into all kinds of black holes
and feel a lot of fear in me.
These holes that you are feeling, black holes, you have been
avoiding for a long time. They are there, and when you remain
occupied, intensely occupied, you need not encounter them, but
when you are unoccupied you are bound to encounter them.
This time don't repress them. When they come, make it a point
to go into that deep darkness, into that black hole. And if you
allow yourself to go into a black hole it becomes a white hole.
It all depends on your going or not going. Whatsoever you avoid
becomes your enemy and whatsoever you accept totally becomes your
friend. Black holes can easily be transformed into white holes.
Now even physicists have discovered this phenomenon, that what
is thought to be a black hole is only one side of the phenomenon;
the other side is a white hole. This is a very new hypothesis
that is becoming more and more significant every day.
When for the first time black holes were contemplated on, discovered,
it was very frightening. In a black hole everything collapses.
That's what the astronomers say, that if the earth goes into a
black hole it will simply collapse and disappear. A black hole
is the greatest destructive force possible in existence, and once
anything enters it, it cannot come out. It reduces everything
to nothing. But soon astronomers became aware of another phenomenon,
that from the other side it is the white hole—because every
destructive energy is bound to have a creative aspect to it; the
other side of the coin. So if the earth enters a black hole and
collapses, disappears, this is a death; but from the other side
the earth will appear again, fresh, young, revitalised—a
resurrection. So each black hole is also a white hole, even in
the world of physics.
As far as my experience goes about human consciousness this
is absolutely true. I don't know whether in physics it is true
or still only a hypothesis, but the experience of human consciousness
is absolutely clear about it. If you avoid something it becomes
a black hole, it becomes destructive. Because you don't want to
face it, and you have to face it sometimes, it is a very shattering
experience when you have to face it. It impinges upon you with
vengeance and you start avoiding it again; in that very avoiding
you are creating it.
This time don't avoid it. Go into it, disappear into it, let
it overpower you, and from the other side you will come out resurrected.
And then you will wait for the black holes to come, because now
you know that each black hole has a silver lining to it and if
you can go into it, it is tremendously creative. It is chaos from
one side and cosmos from another side.
Once you have learned it, then it is a joy to be crucified.
If resurrection is certain, it is a joy to be crucified. You get
rid of all that is rotten and you come out fresh, young, and innocent.
Try it! This time don't avoid it. tunein24
A sannyasin says: There is a place where my mind explodes inside.
It implodes towards the centre and it is not very nice, because
to explode is better.
No, both are good and both are part of one rhythm. Explosion and
implosion are just like in-breathing and out-breathing. Both are
good. And the deeper your implosion will go, the bigger will be
the explosion.
Nothing can exist alone. The opposite is needed. So your mind
is imploding and you are converging on your centre; allow it totally
so you become just like a seed. Become smaller and smaller and
smaller, just like a seed. That is what is happening to the tree.
When the seeds come to the tree, what is happening? The tree is
imploding. So it becomes smaller and smaller and smaller and then
the seed will fall into the earth and then explode. Again the
tree will arise.
So the whole life is a rhythm between explosion and implosion.
You breathe in. If you take deep breaths, if you inhale well,
you exhale well. Then again you inhale. Every inhalation will
help exhalation. Every exhalation will help inhalation. These
are two polarities but complementary and helpful to each other.
So don't be afraid of it. When it is happening, allow it. Soon
you will see that the explosion will be happening.
There are very few people to whom implosion happens so easily
as it is happening to you. Explosion is easier to people because
more people are extroverts, outgoing. Ingoing people are rare.
Feel happy…you are a rare type; you may be a very rare type.
People come and are very worried about their explosions; they
want to implode. They want to go to the centre but they cannot.
The more they try, the more they go outside somewhere. They never
come home.
So don't create trouble. It is good. Enjoy it and help it to
go as deep as possible. myhart22
