Nothingness is the Echo of Happiness
Hello folks,
New Year greetings to you and your family members!
The other day I have heard a voice called “you are not my
happiness” which has been echoing for a very long time and continuing to do so.
I tried to ignore but it has been gone deeply into me. For the reasons unknown,
my situations compiled me to feel like dejected, Lot of vacuum in it,
unfulfilled and not so clear. I know it is just a frame of mind and body of
emotions, nothing else! Probably these are the echo of the emergence of
material existence which occurred to man (woman) fourteen billion years ago,
and the roadmap to its ultimate destination is nothingness
However educated we are, whatever exposure we get, however
devoted we are, however spiritual we are, the ultimate destination is to derive
happiness out of our own actions. Where this happiness does sit? When thinking
went beyond my tears, I realized it occupies at the helm of Nothingness. Now
the question stuck to me to know more about Nothingness. In the
process of knowing the beauty of nothingness, I also happened to
understand the something-ness.
After glancing through the concept of Nothingness, it is
just infinite and some-thingness is finite. For example, take numbers from 1-9,
it has finite values on its own and whereas ZERO has no value (nothing). But it
is nothingness which makes a number into an infinite number. i.e (99+1 = 100,
999+1=1000 etc). The most incredible thing in mathematics is the zero, and this
did not come by accident. It is from a certain realization. When people looked
inward and fell into the void of nothingness, the zero was born.
Similarly, the finite characters like love, affection, care,
intimacy have always seen with a distinct eye. Eye of physicality, eye of
economics; these “eyes” ingrained in our minds. Whereas mind is always
accumulative, accumulative of knowledge, accumulation of people etc, and
accumulation of unfulfilled desires. It means if my mind has some vacuum in it
or aspires for more, it desires for those finite love, affection, money etc.,
If I empty it without any numbers but just keep adding zeros (nothing about
it), then it is just an echo of happiness around us.
To the best of my understanding, nothingness can be achieved
only if I add zero to my physical desires (even if I counter / encounter or no
counter with it) and add value of zero to the accumulative wealth irrespective
of priorities. When you practice the Nothingness, then only emptiness
arises, Grace descends upon you. Without Grace, no one really gets anywhere. If
you need to experience Grace, your somethingness has to become totally empty.
Happiness evolves organically
