Concern

“Unconditional”


Concern is a matter of importance to man or woman. Concern implies that you look after an object, vegetation, animal or a human as a matter of importance. The concern depends on conditions of like, love or preference of an object, vegetation, animal or human. 

Now an object, vegetation, animal or human is within a particular moment in life. Now within one moment neither a second moment nor the next moment exists. This signifies that a moment is all by itself in life.

The moment in life signifies that what is within the moment cannot be any other than what is in the moment. This signifies that only the object, vegetation, animal or human can be within a particular moment and no other.

The moment in life also signifies that the state of the object, vegetation, animal or human in the moment cannot be in any other state than the state of object, vegetation, animal or human that is within any particular moment in life.

The moment in life also signifies that the action of a man or woman in the moment cannot be another action than the action that is in the moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.

The moment in life also signifies that a thought in the mind of man or woman in the moment cannot be another thought than the thought that is in the moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.

The moment in life also signifies that the word spoken by a man or woman in the moment cannot be another word than the word that is spoken in the moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.

The moment in life also signifies that the health of a man or woman in the moment is what it is and cannot be other than what it is in a particular moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.

The moment in life also signifies that the sickness of a man or woman in the moment is what it is and cannot be other than what it is in a particular moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.

When the wisdom of the moment is understood by man or woman, they will have unconditional concern for an object, vegetation, animal or a human. Their concern will not be based on conditions of like, love or preference.

The enlightened are concerned for an object, vegetation, animal and human no matter how they are in any moment.

Editor’s Note:
It would be unusual for human beings of any age not to be drawn emotionally towards the welfare of others. Thus, the expression of concern for any living creature or inanimate thing in nature is quite normal. However, in practice, in the daily life of humans, concern is usually directed selectively, as described in this article. The enlightened, in their deep understanding of life, are revealing that there are no conditions whatsoever for the gift of concern. Understanding the wisdom of the moment is realisation of concern for existence - with no exceptions.
