Whichever object takes shape and arises, it returns to its original form. The original form of pot is clay, the original form of wave is water and the original form of bracelet is gold. The original form of all these objects are the five elements. Everything is in the process of forming and returning and forming and returning, again and again.
Everything has the potential of becoming – this is the greatest truth. Creation itself is the potential. This is an endless cycle – forming and dissolving back to its original state and then forming back again. There is absolutely no end at all to anything – there is no full stop in creation. Since everything has the potential of becoming, then there is no beginning, no end. Everything is beginingless, everything is endless. Nothing begins and nothing ends. Everything is in a state of becoming. Nothing remains stable and at one place or in one shape.
Everything is changing. You see an object at this moment. When you see that same object at the next moment, it has undergone a transformation. It has become something else.
Everything is becoming something else.
Even your thoughts about that object are changing, are transforming into something else. Nothing started and nothing ended. For a thing to start, there ought to be something for it to start, there should be a point from where it started. But there never was and never will be a point, a particular spot, because there never is. Everything is happening simultaneously.
There never was anything to start something because something never happened. It was only becoming. Nothing is happening outside our thoughts, our mind. Everything is in a state of potentiality.
We see an object in a particular state, not in its wholeness, not from its beginning to its end. And in that particular state, that object itself is in a state of transformation. The second time we see that object, it has changed into something else. We too, our bodies, our thoughts, our concepts, our world, are always changing into something else.
Nothing remains the way it was. A painting hanging on this wall does not remain the same painting forever as the colours and the canvas get transformed with moisture and dust. Nothing is constant. For something to remain constant, it can neither arise nor return. Creation itself is an ever-changing principle, it is always happening, even as it is being perished. The perishing is inherent in the birth, in the arising. And the arising is inherent in the perishing. This is an endless cycle.
Everything is happening all the time, at all places. So, there is nothing that is permanent. Everything is for the moment. Everything is happening in this moment, in the NOW which has no past and no present. NOW is happening, NOW is becoming, NOW is always, NOW is Consciousness, NOW is God.
When you see objects around you, they are happening in this moment. When you see them again, they have changed into something else, although they remain the same objects and are happening in this moment.
Therefore, everything appears to happen. But nothing happens in actuality, in ultimate reality, because what happens at this moment does not last another moment as something else has happened to it. So, there never was anything happening, and there never will be anything happening. Everything is in the moment. This is the Supreme Truth.
Now then, where do you stand in this ever-changing creation? You are an abrupt bubble in a deathless world.
But what is the essence of this bubble? You are Pure Awareness, Immaculate, Untouched. Nothing can affect you. It is your mind only which is reacting to external objects and internal events. It is not that the world does not exist, that the objects which appear in front of your eyes do not exist. In fact, they do. Even if you close your eyes, the objects are always there. It is only that they are insubstantial in front of the Self, which is supreme, birthless and deathless.
You are the Self and not the body. For you sorrow does not exist nor does happiness. Emotions do not affect you. You are neither hoping for anything nor do you despair when you do not obtain an object. Even life and death have no meaning or difference for you because you are birthless and deathless at the same moment.
So, if there is no beginning and no end, then there should also be no middle. In fact, all these three states do not exist since everything is happening from moment to moment, changing from moment to moment. Now, even that moment does not exist since that moment cannot be grasped. Since this is so, then nothing is happening. Everything is at rest. Only your mind is agitated.
