Almighty Zero.

The story of material abstination ensues from two roots, one 'the scarcity' other 'the surplus'. Material abstination is basically a methodology to resuscitate the defunct importance of surplus materials in life. It as well is an excuse for incapacity to have 'em. He did sex as many times as he wished and now believes in moving to a jungle where he doesn't find any woman. The other moment, he is in a jungle and now he begins to think of woman, the pleasure and thousand & one things, he enjoyed. Its a kind of oscillation. Men keep oscillating from one end to other, like a pendulum. While going in one direction, they gain energy to return to exactly the opposite one. While moving towards jungle, he gains energy to come back to material life. While retour to material life, he gains energy to go back to jungle.

Krishna taught a very important concept of 'asthit-pragnya' i.e. 'the one unaffected by the world'. He describes 'Karma' (work) as top priority in life. He further adds, only asthit-prgnya can do this job impeccably. Its true because a non-asthit-pragnya always keeps oscillating from one end to other. He never settles to a point where he could engross in the karma. Is it contradicting? The person is refrained from either enjoying the material pleasure as well as avoiding them. There is a state of being exactly in middle of the pendulum where energy of going in either directions is zero. The person is not inclined towards any end. He just sticks in the middle, the zero.

The zero is almighty. It is pregnant with lot of potentials but indeed zero. Zero is contagious that it can acccomodate the whole world and turn it to zero. Zero is introspective that it can divide small things to infinite ones. Zero is quite difficult to imagine because it is something that 'exists not'. A person thinking, thinks something. But a person in zero doesn't think anything at all. And its difficult to not think anything at all because even though you are not thinking anything, you might be thinking that 'you are not thinking anything' and believe that you are actually at zero but you are not. Sufis have unique method to reach the trans state where you stop thinking and become almightly, the zero. Sufi whorling of body makes them be thoughtless. Jabbers gibberish speaking out makes them thoughtless. But modern world has resorted to thousand and one easy ways to reaching the trans. List begins with alcohol,... drugs.. cocaine. You have it and you reach zero.. the thoughtless. the almighty.

Next step of thoughtless ness is awareness which is missing in modern instruments like drugz and alcohol. Thoughtlessness puts off the brain but puts on another very powerful state of being which is awareness. A person in thoughtlessness becomes aware of even a subtlest motion in his body and his sorrounding. Whereas an alcoholist doesn't rekindle that awareness within. The sthitpragnya lives in awareness and thoughtlessness. He lives in zero and doesn't oscillate between two extremes. For him, extremes exist not.
