In This Delusion Village Don’t Let Your Mind Be Occupied or Hijacked
I notice that in the world of social media the esoteric, gnostic, and spiritual seeking populations are often being eaten alive by the the peddlers of useless information, the alt-right, endless conspiracy theories, self-sabotaging thoughts that discourage one from developing a serious spiritual practice, a gnosticism that’s not about gnosis, meditation not about going within, etc… So much ignorance, so little time. As with Christianity’s faux news, science denial, culture wars and countless phobias, it’s unfortunate that the archon-rulers of this matrix asylum of illusion seem to be so successful at OCCUPYING MINDS. “A man is what he thinks about all day long” (Ralph Waldo Emerson), therefore it’s an important spiritual principle for us to be the guardians of our own thoughts and choose wisely those who would be major influences in our lives. Kabir said it best:
“Delusion filled the three worlds, delusion everywhere. Kabir says (and he’s thought about it), you live in Delusion Village.”
“Jewels and stones fill the world; a rare one tests them. The tester is greater than the jewel – so very rare!”
“The mind dwells in front of the eyes and runs with every blink. In the three worlds mind is king. Everyone worships mind. The mind, greedy for its own juice, splashes in sensual waves. Mind drives, body rides – thus everything runs away.”
“With its cliques and caucuses the world was stupefied. Be nonpartisan, worship Hari [God], join the good and wise.”
“Kabir Saheb says that one should keep oneself in the sacred company of saints and sages all the time as it leaves a tremendous impact on one’s life. This will take ignorance away and one will be benefited by the true knowledge imparted by saints and sages, i.e. all the improper and impure deeds performed by someone due to his ignorance will be set right by the teachings imparted by saints.” (Saakhi of Guru Kabir)
