Problems – Doing Something
Accepting any problem is doing something
about it. Acceptance is not mere acceptance: it is the very method of changing
it. The moment we accept anything, it starts coming into the conscious. It
leaves the unconscious. It starts coming to the light because now we are not
denying it so there is no need for it to hide. Now we are not against it and
there is no need to go on living underground: it can come and face us.
And
when things come to the conscious and we see them clearly. And they can be
seen clearly only when we accept. If somewhere we have any kind of denial,
rejection, we cannot look into the eyes of a thing. We avoid it, we don't want to
see; we are afraid.
Acceptance
makes us unafraid of any fact – if it is there. The moment we see that it
is there and we are no more repressing it, it comes up, it surfaces; it comes into
the light. We can see it through and through and that very seeing is a
transforming phenomenon. We will never be the same again once we have seen the
facts about ourselves in their utter nakedness.
Acceptance
is not just acceptance: it is a way of changing the whole situation. Accept it,
allow it, and we will see many things are useless, just hang-ups from the past;
they can be thrown easily. Just by seeing them – that they are hang-ups
from the past – we get rid of them. Nothing else is needed in just seeing
that.
And
the remaining are messages of tremendous import from our deepest core, from our
navel to the head – which has gone very, very far away. Those messages are
very significant; they have to be understood. By understanding them we will be
creating a bridge between our unconscious and conscious. By understanding them we
will become more one, more individual. The division, the split will disappear. We
will start feeling a new centre arising in us – the centre which is called
integration.
A choiceless
awareness – that is the ultimate key to open the innermost mystery of our
being. Don't say it is good, don't say it is bad. When we say something is
good, attachment arises, attraction arises. When we say something is bad,
repulsion arises. Fear is fear – neither good nor bad. Don't evaluate,
just let it be. Let it be so.
When
we are there without condemnation and justification, then in that choiceless
awareness all psychological pain simply evaporates as dewdrops in the early
morning sun. And left behind is a pure space, left behind is virgin space.
Acceptance
becomes the key solution to all problems. And in this state, there is no self
as such because there is no observer, controller, judger. One is only that
which arises and changes from moment to moment.
