<\/p>\n\n\n

The root of all the problems we face in life is the tendency to grab from life and avoiding to grasp the truth of life. If we try to grasp the truth we will have the approach of love towards seeking the truth. This article deals with the distinction between grabbing and grasping and the practice that makes grasping possible for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n

The default condition<\/h2>\n\n\n

Mostly, we only grab and ask, \u201cgive a set of rules, give, I\u2019ll do that. If I can\u2019t, give plan B, plan C.\u201d The context is completely result-driven. If you are approaching life with the mood of grabbing, framing it, making it as a utility value, you are trying to make a frame out of life, soon you will be tired and bored. <\/p>\n\n\n

Who takes advantage?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Socio-political cults cater to such a mind. They cater to human beings who try to grab the truth. Religions which cater to the mind which tries to grab the truth, they only give a set of rules and finally evolve into a socio-political cult that takes advantage of your ignorance. If anything other than enlightenment is put as a priority, it is not a religion, be very clear, it\u2019s a socio-political cult.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pure Science<\/h2>\n\n\n

The\n10th<\/sup>\nverse of the Isavasya Upanishad says that knowledge that comes from\ngrasping versus grabbing produces different results. Similarly,\nactions that come from authenticity versus actions that come from\nignorance produce different results.<\/p>\n\n\n

Applied Science<\/h2>\n\n\n

Grasping<\/h3>\n\n\n

\nGrasping\nmeans understanding the context. Constantly keeping your seeking\nalive makes you grasp the truth.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

What is Seeking?<\/h3>\n\n\n

Approaching everything with tremendous love and patience from the context of knowing the truth, wanting to know the truth, is grasping, seeking. Seeking means approaching you, approaching God, approaching the world, approaching Guru, everything, with tremendous love and patience, passiveness, try to grasp what it is. Again and again, understanding the context, and trying to grasp the subtlest truth of everything is seeking. <\/p>\n\n\n

Practice Seeking<\/h3>\n\n\n
  1. With the world, have patience, love, try to grasp what it is, don\u2019t try to frame, don\u2019t try to relate with agitation. <\/li>
  2. With God, approach It with tremendous love and patience, don\u2019t enter into Him with the fear or a greed or agitated mood. <\/li>
  3. To Guru, try to approach with tremendous patience, love, and see, try to grasp what He is, not try to grab or put Him in a frame as you want. <\/li>
  4. About yourself, try to approach with tremendous patience, tremendous patience. What you need to achieve, what you want to do, what your plans and visions are, when they are becoming real day by day, when you are realizing them day by day, celebrate it. Approach yourself with tremendous love, patience, not with agitation and not taking yourself for granted. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

    \nDevelop\nseeking, keep your seeking alive, reinvent yourself with your\nseeking, re-strategize yourself with your seeking. This is the basic\ntruth this verse of Upanishad wants to describe.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Meditate\non the difference between grasping and grabbing. Grasp pure\nknowledge. Experience you are pure consciousness. Experience\nShivoham.<\/p>\n\n\n
