32. Every Moment is New🔗

Look into yourself. Look into all your suffering. I can say, all your suffering, ALL your suffering, is just with this one problem: carrying the past into the present, leading to wrong understanding. You go on and on and on interpreting life based on the past and creating problems for yourself. Your mind becomes chaotic, completely confused with the past engrams. This is how wrong understanding leads to wrong decisions, which leads to suffering.

In any situation, if you are open, fresh, alive, without the past conditioning and words, you can handle the situation directly. You can live that situation directly, you can experiment with that situation directly, you can experience it directly. But when you carry a preconceived idea about that situation, you never directly face that situation; you jump to a certain conclusion and start taking actions based on that. In your own life you can see, how many times you create a whole problem in your imagination and are ready with all the weapons to attack the other person. But when he comes before you, when he starts talking to you, you suddenly realize that he is not carrying any problem with you in his mind! Then you realize, 'Oh God, there's no problem at all!' He did not even think about it as a problem, and here you are waiting with high BP, with all the weapons, thinking, 'If he utters that word I will utter this word; if he talks that way, I will talk this way; if he brings that argument I will bring this argument.' You are ready with all the arguments, all the weapons. That guy makes the whole thing simple, and suddenly you feel empty! Now you feel, 'What is this! How can this be? I prepared so much, but all this preparation has become a waste.’

You start the fight simply because you don’t want to feel that you wasted so much time preparing for the fight and it did not happen!

You need to understand an important truth: we live in a localized way, but we think in a generalized way.

That is why your mind always carries the incompletions from one situation, from one experience, and extends it to all people, all situations and all experiences.

Each situation is different, but your mind always generalizes, always generalizes!

Recall any situation where you judged another person based on a past experience, but later found that the person was not carrying that in his/her mind at all.

Now, would you like to complete with that person, either in your mind or by directly speaking to them?

Remember, completion is not just apologizing; it is correcting the wrong understanding and allowing life to flow again.
