To be
naked and to be dressed are two opposite concepts in life.
Even, it
is not necessary to tell which of them supersedes the other.
You are
most probably aware of the person e who has been labeled in the
mystical world as ‘’the one who warns the humans and who is
naked ’’.
Let us
assume that we put on one side of the scale the state of being
dressed and on the other side the state of being naked which
is the part assumed to be lighter, however we shall aee
that it will weigh more.
Being
naked is easy for the one who has assimilated this concept, but
for the ones who are dressed it is really difficult.
The
opposite of present is absent and in a similar way the opposite
of being dressed is to be naked.
However,
those who are undressed may look as if they are dressed and this
should not mistaken you. As a matter of fact, only the experts
can know and understand this state of being. Being naked does
not make one live the personality syndrome. On the contrary,
it prevents the weakness regarding the identity, moreover it
can demolish this concept. Being naked makes the innate
composition of the human being dissolve. Those who think that
there is only a very slight difference between being naked and
being dressed are really mistaken.
In the
case of being naked there are no prayers/yearnings/crisis for
identity and searching for differences. Such things as race,
sex, conditionings, value judgements etc. cannot find any
place near this concept. Being naked does not know the ego nor
recognizes it.
To be in
a continous productive state and to share is the work of the
naked but, trying to dominate the nature and to be powerful
over it is the work of the dressed.
The
humans are rushing in crowds for being undressed/for being
naked.
However,
the majority turns back after they travel half the distance. The
ones who have been very eager and who could travel more never
feel shy at the end and it can be observed that there isn’t a
trace of their old mentality.
The one
who is dressed, but who acts as if he is neutral is not a good
observer. Being objective, objectivity is the trait of those who
can get undressed.
This is
a matter of balance and it can never accept any mistakes,
errors. In that dimension there isn’t any place for deviation.
In such a state of being there is never a confused picture.
Complicated systems cannot define this.
Never
get surprised when you see many of the people to whom you place
great importance in their real states of being i.e if you see
them as dressed. They are the ones who have become idols in your
eyes. Their origins are in humanly/worldly dresses.
Whereas, the one who undresses does not have any worldly
objective pertaining to the five senses. He does not care/run
after eating and drinking nor he cares for high positions and
recognitions. He only wants to observe and that is his sole
objective. The more the ego gets inflated and takes over, the
more one becomes dressed.
Being
naked neither accepts the praises nor refuses the curses. All
the structures who have understood the importance of getting
undressed become aware of the fact that all the actions and the
changes/the transformations take the concept of wholeness as
their starting point without any doubt. Not many people can
recognize the one who have got undressed. Unfortunately, the one
who cannot see himself at the point of the Absolute Self, who
cannot consider himself as equal with this, means that he could
not become undressed.
The ones
who have been able to undress can be very influential. They
walk on their path without fear, without getting tired, without
comprimise, but with patience and in a very cool manner.
When we
examine deeply, we can see that the fire which purifies the
souls, which burns one’s soul / heart passes through being
naked.
If, one
day you are asked a question ‘’Which mysterious power is
forcing the humans to get undressed?’’ then, instead of
going around the bush to give your answers, try to find the
answer within yourself.
