One Thing

Posted by Suman on Oct 01, 2020

What is the human being limited by?

The answers to this question are many.

One will run out of reasons behind how humans have failed to glimpse,

let alone come close to achieving their full glory.

What is a human in his prime capable of?

Many will say that the answer to these are out there or

have been explored before.

Fully acknowledging the knowledge of who or what they are implying,

I will repeat my question.

Think it through.

What is a human in his prime truly capable of?

Is it starting and running multiple multi-billion/trillion-dollar businesses?

Is it completely dominating a sport for decades?

Is it producing masterpieces non-stop?

Is it him conquering his own self and becoming a God?

Or...

Is it something completely unheard of and to this date, unseen?

I will waver not a bit and say, it is the last statement.

The ultimate of a human being cannot be defined or looked around

and estimated as a sum, average, or some other "function"

of those that the human Mind thinks are the candidates.

No.

For what the human Mind "knows", is the limit.

The ultimate can only be realized.

It can only be felt viscerally.

It cannot be talked about.

It cannot be written about either.

Yes.

These very words are a distraction.

These words are a waste of energy

of both the reader and the writer,

who are better off going back to the Moment's urgency.


The human being has a Body and he has a Mind.

The body is not what man thinks it is.

Neither it is that which the Mind drops ideas about,

after the statement above is read.

The human being also has a Mind.

The Mind has been explored before by many "enlightened" people.

And these very people and the resultant labels

is the noise which is to be evaded if one is serious.

All the "knowledge" such a human needs is this...

Realizing both the adaptability and limiting tendency of the Mind

will show man how foolish and ignorant he has been about the Body.

Relentlessly exploring beyond the limitations of the Body

will show man both the (elastic) infiniteness it hides

and how blinding the Mind can be.


Time is running out for every single human.

Both for the one who is around or beyond his prime.

I will state this simply.

If a human's days are not lived doing one and only one thing,

then they are simply being wasted.

What is that one thing?

I do not know what truly it is for you.

Perhaps the concluding statement below will guide you to the Truth.

The exploration and the resulting Understanding done both in the realms of the Body

and the Mind is a self-feeding never-ending becoming

that no expression of the Mind will ever come

close to describing or promising.

And like I said earlier,

can only be realized.

Thank you.
