On emptiness, world service and compassion

On emptiness, world service and compassion

It was a windy but sunny day near a small beach by the Bay.

Mathias was speaking with his friends, Raysha and Anand about transformation of the self.

The topic of emptiness was discussed. Emptiness as the absence of prejudices, beliefs, ideas, analysis, preconceptions, worries etc; which are clouding the mind from feeling at peace and harmony.

Anand: "Mathias, how do we increase the experience of emptiness?"

Mathias: Emptiness comes to you when you understand the rhythms of the mind and the heart. When you have understood the word harmony. It is a state where the being is away from prejudices. It is a state of appreciation beyond questioning. It is an instant in which you let go, as if you surrender to the experience.

Emptiness could be experienced in different levels, but the “great emptiness” will allow you the metamorphosis to live in a different manner. As it has happened to Raysha already. Big emptiness. Your cells, your body, your mind will be filled with a different energy. The experience of emptiness is vital to be wholesome, healthy.

When the hands of the clock tell us about a time to come, it is important to be prepared. In the same way, human beings nowadays, experience emptiness due to altered states of consciousness.

Anand needs to increment that experience of emptiness without bringing into his mind prejudices and to his heart nostalgic sentiments, but rather the art of enjoyment. To appreciate and to smile are the necessary ingredients for a perfect fit.

Anand: "How could we serve humanity better, by doing things or by experiencing emptiness?"

As you become ready, you will be able to better understand others and Nature, then that service will be of quality. That is because something called “speed-response” will be there. Otherwise, when there is lack of harmony; food arrives when there is no hunger anymore.

Anand: "Is Compassion a form of goodness?"

Mathias: Compassion arises from the heart. It is that pile of sentiments with goodness, which explode and irradiate towards that which is ready to receive. That could be a place, a person an object.

Anand:" For that to happen we need to be in emptiness?"

Mathias: Once you have experimented emptiness, you need to fill that with sentiments, a mixture of harmonized feelings. Once all of that is there, compassion arises. For example, when you prepare your banana shake; the first thing that must be there is an empty blender, then the ingredients, then it is the mix, and then that mixture it is ready to be given.

You enjoy that.. . and then you have to wash it…

Anand: "Oh! So it is empty again! "

Mathias: Yes. If you don’t clean, if you don’t wash it, then germs and disease will appear. The heart becomes contaminated. To be clean we need to be aware of different energies around us, which we could absorb under different circumstances.

Anand: "Emptiness brings compassion as long as there is emptiness..."
