"The innate nature of our mind is chaos. It does not seek order, but a chaotic liberation."
Entropy. Our mind is not exceptional to the laws of entropy. The mind, subject to the relentless currents of entropy, becomes a theater of perpetual contradiction.
It is this very entropy that gives rise to the turbulent array of thoughts, desires, and conflicts shaping our daily lives. An effort to create order in this desert of chaos brings about conflict within our being. It results in an endless dance of order and disorder, a futile fight with an unstoppable force.
Now, how do we deal with this. Seeking refuge in superficial order would be in vain. How do we transcend the force of entropy acting on our mind?
Acceptance.
Acknowledging the entropy within the mind is not an admission of defeat; rather, it is a profound recognition of the inherent nature of human consciousness.
It requires us to observe the perpetual flow of thoughts without attachment, to witness the chaotic dance of emotions without succumbing to their influence. This calls for a radical shift in our perception. In this act of observation, a stillness emerges—an oasis amid the desert.
By questioning the motives propelling our thoughts and actions, we unravel the web of conditioning fueling the mind's chaos. Transcending the entropy demands a radical shift in perception— detaching oneself from the conditioned patterns sustaining chaos. It involves a relentless form of self-inquiry, where the mind is observed without judgment. In this state of awareness, a subtle alchemy occurs, transforming chaos into clarity.
In this transcendence, a harmony unfolds—a harmony that transcends the dualities of order and chaos, leading to a state of being that is authentically liberated.
