I must realize my own conditioning and do absolutely nothing

in #jiddu7 years ago

I think it is very important to understand that any effort made to free oneself from one's conditioning is another form of conditioning. If I try to free myself from Hinduism, or any other ism, I am making that effort in order to achieve what I consider to be a more desirable state; therefore, the motive to change conditions the change. So I must realize my own conditioning and do absolutely nothing. This is very difficult. But I must know for myself that my mind is small, petty, confused, conditioned, and see that any effort to change it is still within the field of that confusion; therefore, any such effort only breeds further confusion.

Your realization is the result of your conditioning and experience. You realize you must do nothing? Why? How does that differ from doing something? Both have the same roots. Choosing inaction is an action.
