Beloved GM, What is the difference between response & reaction? To be silent & witness the activities….Is it possible in practical life in this world?
GM: Your question is at the personality level.
Once you are conscious of yourself through stillness…. then you know it is possible right now!
How to be conscious of yourself?
Just closing eyes and knowing the peace within!
This peace is endless without limitations!
Whatever perceived are within limits in space!
Once you know the stillness within, you are conscious of your presence without words.
This stillness contains everything.
Know the stillness in you!
Then you know what is happening here is real or not!
Once you know there is nothing real in whatever perceived you will not fight here in space but simply observe like seeing an unreal movie on a screen.
Inwardly you remain peaceful!
Outwardly many movements going on spontaneously.
Your focus will be inward and you will respond to the need of the moment whenever it is essential.
Rest of the moment you remain cool and observe silently…as you know to remain non serious about any happening in space.
Your Consciousness unknowingly reacts as it is not conscious of itself.
Once your Consciousness is conscious of itself it responds spontaneously.
You are asking ‘ what is the difference between reaction and response?
Reaction is with reference to non existing past and future!
Reaction is at the personality level!
Unknowingly you react when you are not Conscious of yourself !
Response is spontaneous, Here…Now…!
Response is by Consciousness itself!
Once consciousness knows there is nothing alien to it…it responds to every happening non seriously…as all is by itself!
Reaction is out of seriousness!
Response is out of non seriousness!
Reaction is emotional through identification!
Response is joyful through non identification!
Reaction is at the personality level!
Response is at the conscious level!
But you the Observer are beyond personality,
beyond Consciousness just now!
You only Observe!
Rest happens!
You are asking whether it is possible in practical life here?
Of course!
Possible!
Provided you start knowing the stillness within!
Your stillness (Consciousness) guides you!
Your Consciousness is the Master!
Remain conscious and know …it is possible right now…!
