The Journal of Ashok Sharda

I decided to leave him alone: 6th March 2004.

 He asked me the other day-“What’s the most difficult thing to do?’

‘To do’- is what, unhesitatingly, I answered.

‘But what?’-The good fellow quipped somewhat irked, epitome of disbelief.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I couldn’t help laughing. ‘Where’s the question of what, when you can not do any thing.’

‘Can not do any thing’? He looked puzzled and obviously angry. I felt bad that I was helpless laughing.

I decided to amend.

‘Well, one can’-I said and added-‘Undo’.

‘If one can not do how can one undo?’- He quipped -‘You have to do to undo'-he added for clarity.

Logical fellow, I thought. He knows how to apply logic.

‘Doing is undoing’-I insisted. ‘In order to do, you have to undo. Undo the happenings. In order to BE you have to UNDO your unbecoming. In order to be present you have to undo your absence.

He still looked puzzled. I decided to leave him alone.

"In order to be present you have to undo your absence." - I believe I finally understand this. You have to 'wake' from one dream to walk out of it into the next one you don't know is a dream. You have to undo the associations that have grown within the reality you thought you were in. This is the way to consciously start opening one's own eyes to the next subjective reality on the hierarchy that is infinite (it seems). In this way you 'do' by 'undoing'. You move a step forward on the path to PRESENCE. The path to AMNESS. The path to BEING in thoughtlessness. The path to ATTENTION fully in tact (These are all KNOWN paths aren't they?). The path that is leading to the final awakening that cannot be attained but can be journeyed to nonetheless (is this UNKOWN?). Undo your absence when absence is synoymous with a state of walking 'sleep'. But still I confuse the KNOWN with the UNKNOWN...Hmmmm??? Have I gotten any of this right yet? hahahahah :-)
