The Unbearable Lightness of Being …continued 0
The mind thinks ”doing” is active and ”being” is passive. Nothing could be more wrong. Take a walk in nature a hot summer day and just notice the diversity of life, crawling, buzzing, flying, growing, eating, jumping, without a single “me” doing anything. Where is the mover moving all this? There is no centre to all this activity, is it? It is simply life dancing with it self. Look inside the body, same activity there. Heart beating, lungs breathing, blood moving, billions and billions of cells working, hair growing, eyes blinking, brain activity, dreams, thoughts happening, being alive takes no effort at all, it is all done by it self without anyone doing anything.
So tell me, what is this mind that feels separate to life and thinks it knows and rules it all?
