To Speak (2)

“Does not speak”


Whenever the educated or the uneducated man or woman does not speak what is accepted by those who hear them speak and also the society, the spoken is neither applauded nor appreciated. The same is not expected every time he or she wants and desires to speak.

The non-acceptance of the spoken happens in the moment and is known in the moment by those who hear man or woman speak.

Wisdom reveals that every moment in life renews itself and in between a moment in the mind and in life is moment as well. This signifies that a moment in life and in the mind is eternal.

Brain scans reveal that decisions happen seven seconds before man decides. The scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences reveal that human decisions are made seconds before humans become aware of them. 

In the study, participants could freely decide if they wanted to press a button with their right or left hand. The only condition was that they had to remember when they made the decision to use either their right hand or left hand. 

Using FMRI, researchers scanned the brains of the participants to find out if they could predict which hand the participants would use before participants were consciously aware of the decision. 

The results, by monitoring the micro patterns of activity in the front-polar cortex, were that the researchers could predict which hand the participant would choose seven seconds before the participant was aware of the decision. 

Wisdom reveals this is proof that man neither decides nor predicts nor predetermines. Wisdom reveals that even the movement of the hand to press the button happens and the brain does not make the movement happen in the moment. 

Wisdom further reveals that the spoken and the speaking happen for understanding to happen that only moving is in every moment and that every moment is only moving. Also, for wise understanding to happen that moving in every moment is instinct and instinct cannot be controlled by man or his brain.

What he or she does not speak happens for understanding to happen that speaking is not an actuality in a moment. What he or she does not speak happens for understanding to happen that speaking in any moment is illusory and not real. What he or she does not speak happens for understanding to happen that speaking is not present, but only moving is present. Also, for understanding to happen that moving in any moment is instinct.

The moving happens for understanding to happen that, when the moving is accepted as speaking, it is believed that man and woman can speak what he or she is expected to speak. 

Wisdom reveals that speaking is not done in the moment because life is only moving in the moment. Wisdom also reveals that the intelligence in life manifests the moving and that man or woman does not make the moving, which is instinct, in the moment happen, because they do not make instinct in life. 

The enlightened accept what man or woman speaks and do not expect them to speak, because they understand that speaking is not present, but only instinct is present in any moment in life. The enlightened proclaim that man or woman will speak what he or she is meant to speak, albeit illusory.

Sri Ramana Maharishi has declared that what is meant to happen, albeit illusory, will happen. Sri Adi Shankaracharya has declared that man is not the doer in Nirvanashadakam. Kenopanishad verse (1.3) declares that word and mind cannot access the Absolute One. Bhagwat Gita chapter 3 verse 27 declares that man is not the doer. 

The enlightened understand that the moving is instinct in any moment and is manifested by the intelligence in life and is neither done by man nor by his brain. The enlightened have declared that life is a singular movement.

Editor’s Note:
That life is only moving in the moment and that man or woman does not make the moving are profound revelations by the enlightened that cannot be gainsaid. That the moving is instinct, which alone is present in any moment, cannot be gainsaid either. Instinct carries no purpose or intention: there is no mind present. Neither the word nor the mind can access the Absolute One, declares the Keno Upanishad. This cannot be gainsaid.
