Everything is Bound by the Resistance of it. This is the Totality.

Everything is bound by the resistance of it. A building is standing because it is resisting its fall on the ground. A vehicle is moving as it is moving through tractive resistances. Electric current becomes usable because of resistances applied. Our brain operates because of continuous resistance of ‘pain and uncertainty’ it faces. The illusion sees as if the resistance can be or has been undone-hence dullness, decay. You feel resistance – When you face confusing choices; When something unpalatable happens; When you feel uneasy, uncertain about the outcome of any action; When your relations do not behave as you want; When your ideas are challenged; When you commit some error and you are labelled as wrong. When the nervous system experiences this resistance, this pain – what you do, you try to throw the resistance out of you mind. There is no place to throw it. Once you see this, the whole energy is here. You deal with resistance: By complaining, blaming, feeling guilty; By introducing the idea of God or other religious-spiritual ideas; By consolations, solaces that things will be alright in future; By thinking that science or economics will solve this. Can one see that all dealing with the resistance simply postpones the issue? Can one face, absorb the resistance without any explanation, without any postponement? One wants to throw away the resistance (pain and uncertainty) which life is showing. This throwing away the resistance separates one from totality. Once the resistance is absorbed-total ground is realized. All pain and uncertainty is psychological discomfort (if it is not immediate physical danger). To acknowledge the discomfort, to absorb the discomfort ‘as it is’ is the key. Instead of bearing the ‘psychological discomfort’ – we gloss over it, cover it up, escape from it by solaces, consolations, by entertainments, intoxications, by religious-spiritual ideas, activities. Decay sets in.
