Life matters.

Mind matters not.

The Mind will protect.

It will want this and that.

It will plan, analyze, set deadlines.

It will make way for security and comfort.

It will do the numbers over and over again.

It will pick and choose and compare.

It will check again and again - "Do I have enough?"

It will make sure of already ensured things.

It will do all of the above

over and over again.

A never-ending loop.

Life is just there.

It does not trick or enchant.

It does not play with you.

It does not constrain you.

It is constant.

It need not prove its loyalty.

For it does not need you.

You are blessed to have been blessed with Life.

And not the other way around.

A lifelong gift, it is really.

After all...

Mind is Mind.

Life is Life.

What am I trying to say here?

Many things.

The two statements hide a lot of depth.

Life is one.

Mind is many.

A human has one Life.

He has infinitely many Minds.

Life does not care about a human. It is a gift remember?

The Mind cares too too much. Perhaps, it is a curse?

Life ticks away one moment at a time.

The Mind clings on to the human for life.

The Truth that only a handful on the planet will realize...

Life is Mandatory.

Mind is optional.

The masses will neglect the gift.

They will see things in the opposite way.

"My life" they will scream as they will embrace the Mind.

Aah how foolish!

"I deserve better!" will be one of the many narratives

they will cling on to.

They will utterly reject the Mandatoriness. (without knowing they did so)

They will embrace the optional, (without knowing Freedom hides in the Mandatoriness.)

Living a life doused in options, of non-stop picking and choosing,

they will never put the finger on the lack of Experience in their living.

Of options, chaos, noise, options, highs, lows, options, rules, restrictions,...

...of mandates!

Never getting admired, respected, appreciated, or even noticed,

they will crave those things. They will cling on to their imaginary versions.

Aah, more pain. But... more options.

Options. Options. Options...

.... Death.

Life is Mandatory.

Mind is Optional.

The human who surrenders to the only Mandatoriness,

will be freed from any and all mandates in the world.

He will have options lined up for him.

Why?

Because he will have given up the Need for options!

The human who appreciates the Gift which is Life,

The human who acknowledges that it is he who is blessed in

having given Life,

will have no need for concocting "his life".

Nor will he have any tolerance for people who do so.

Life is a Gift.

Mind is an (optional) addon (gift).

Ignoring the Gift is missing out on the addon.

For the addon becomes a curse. And "curse" is merely an understatement.

Wholly accepting, respecting, and reciprocating the Gift, Life,

is ultimately realizing that the Mind had been a gift too.

For it is only in the full reciprocation of that

which one is, one becomes it (Life).

And it is only in Becoming Life

that the Truth about the

Mind is revealed.

Thank you.
