Putting things in perspective

What causes what?

Why are things the way they are?

What is the right order of things?

What is the way and mechanism of change?

All of these questions are answered at a place. This place is one's yet un-conquered territory.

A glimpse of one's being.
Shining with all it's glory.

A totality.

A homecoming.

At the revelation of this light,
The activities of the mind are seen and understood as happening because of ignorance.

The reality is alive and conscious.
In a way impossible to conceive for the mind. The role and life of mind is finished here. It is seen simply as a battle of borrowed concepts of which absolutely everything is false.

This revelation of one's self,
As the very reality.
Sets things in right order.

Tao te Ching has beautifully explained this order as

Consciousness
Virtue
Humanity
Justice
Etiquette

We see that how from a natural course of action we downgrade step by step at the place where 'gestures' become more important than a real aspiration for sincerity, honest and truthfulness.

And how again one,
When troubled by his own 'craft' and the artful ways he has learnt to deceive himself
Seeks a way out of that

How one longs to achieve a virtue
And also understands that the virtuous action is a natural outcome of the consciousness and not a product of cultivation or learning

One then is ready to drop all efforts
And touch this ultimate sweetness

A birthright

One's destiny.

Curtains come down.

Play gets over.

The false is over.

The real dawns.
