Due to a Particularizing Agent

Due to a Particularizing Agent Poem: Meditating is a good way to polish your brain instead of just letting you senses complain. If you see the internal sunshine then you don’t need any luxury wines. If you #meditate and #exercise then you probably bounce and are #perky when it comes to helping others, that might make you #attractive. You can repair the passageway to heaven by making many retries. Mysticism is the foremost substance even though it is not a substance it is arrived at beyond discrimination by long term practice. You can just be pure consciousness if it weren’t for a particularizing agency which makes material. Maybe you should read the manual. To just stop thinking about something in particular could be special. But I suppose that is Zen. You can be completely detached as your primary position. You can be mindful of what plane you are in by saying “currently in pineal plane or currently in astral plane” as your basic. You can class the entire world as just one notch. The why and the wherefore is just kidstuff - one should be going into Maha-Samadhi instead of simple Samadhi. You should not have any longing. The only thing is to play tennis you still need a particularizing agent as in the other player? It also helps to have good sunshine. Leaving yourself in a state of contemplation may be good for the constitution. You don’t have to be always accumulating you can be reducing. Even if you follow a minimalist doctrine you can still buy sports equipment. By meditating at frequent intervals you can recalibrate your head to just going within.

Manual of Zen Buddhism: By D Suzuki The topic most interesting for the reader of this book is that of svapratyatmagati, i.e. self-realization of the highest truth. “Mind only” (cittamatra) is an uncouth term. It means absolute mind, to be distinguished from an empirical mind which is the subject of psychological study. When it begins with a capital letter, it is the ultimate reality on which the entire world of individual objects depends for its value. To realize this truth is the aim of the Buddhist life. By “what is seen of the Mind-only” is meant this visible world including that which is generally known as mind. Our ordinary experience takes this world for something that has its “self-nature”, i.e. existing by itself. But a higher intuition tells us that this is not so, that it is an illusion, and that what really exists is Mind, which being absolute knows no second. All that we see and hear and think of as objects of the vijnanas are what rise and disappear in and of the Mind-only. This absolute Mind is also called in the Lankavatara the Dharma of Solitude (vivikta-dharma), because it stands by itself. It also signifies the Dharma’s being absolutely quiescent. There is no “discrimination” in this Dharma of Solitude, which means that discrimination belongs to this side of existence where multiplicities obtain and causation rules. Indeed, without this discriminadiscrimination no world is possible. Discrimination is born of “habit-energy” or “memory”, which lies latently preserved in the “alayavijnana” or all-conserving consciousness. This consciousness alone has no power to act by itself. It is altogether passive, and remains inactive until a particularizing agency touches it. The appearance of this agency is a great mystery which is not to be solved by the intellect; it is something to be accepted simply as such. It is awakened “all of a sudden”, according to Asvaghosha.
