Intent & Creation

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y-lc0IoMjA

what is the intent

behind the whole creation and the

creation of the life forms

when i say intent

i am actually implying a conscious agent

there somebody in the common language

somebody not a human

not an animal not a god somebody

there's something which has has this

ability

to form an intention

the intention is of creating something

other than itself a special case of

recreation is the life form

the animals the plants and humans and

everything

the embodied and the disembodied

so

what is it

what is the reason behind the creation

now as soon as i say intention it is an

ability of the mind to hold an intention

it is a desire of some kind

and as soon as i say the mind

there is a mind there which is

forming an intention

that means there is already

something which is created

there is already something there which

is having an intention so creation has

already happened

this is the logical difficulty

this is the logical problem that is

behind this question

that if you ask for an intention

something of or something already has

been created now you must ask for an

intention of the creation of that thing

which is intending to do

all other creation this is the logical

difficulty

so

the only solution is to assume because

that's all we can do we can only assume

that the creation

of anything even the very first thing

happens without any intention it is not

intentional

the intent is a part of the creation

now this is not a satisfactory answer

because you will say that

then why is there a creation at all if

there is no intention

to create it

how can there be something

without anyone

doing something

now you can see clearly this is beyond

the mind and this is beyond

the everyday human mind

human minds they work in a very

specific way they're bound in a very

specific way they're bound in ignorance

so let us see

how humans create

whenever i create something i take

something and change it

there there is the creation starts in

the mind the creation starts with an

intention

let me create this

so for example i want to create a

pot

clay pot i take i dig out the clay

i wet the clay there is an intention to

form it into specific shape

and there it is the part is there

now there is a purpose for it i can use

it for something and this is the way the

human mind works

it there is an intention there is a

action and the action is a directed

action it is not a random action

we call the directed actions

as

intelligent actions

there is intent in the word intelligence

so

and the intent and

action

they give rise to creation

as far as human activity is concerned

now look at

how the mother nature creates

we plant a seed

and it grows into tree and flowers and

fruits and they appear

is there an intent

is there an action there and is it an

intelligent action

now nothing can be said because the mind

of the mother nature

is not like human mind

it is completely different

so we never say that somebody is growing

the

trees somebody is sprouting the

plants from the seeds and somebody is

creating the flowers

we cannot say like this

because

we do not

see

any mind there behind this action

behind this happening that is

intending

this to happen

so you can now see that these words

intentions and actions and the creator

and the creation

they are all

a creation of the mind they are all

a peculiarity of the human mind

it happens only in a human mind because

of its

particular way of functioning it

functions in this way

intention appears action happens and it

is a directed action it is not random

and the product appears and you will

notice that we always take something

from outside to create

it does not our creations do not appear

in thin air out of nothing it is always

a transformation not a creation

that we do not create we simply change

using our intent there is a difference

between creation

and transformation

so humans don't create they call it

creation for some

um

odd reason

so you see this this is the way the mind

works and when it sees everything when

it sees all the life forms

and when it sees

and this world whatever is appearing is

the world

and so the question arises because this

is the way the mind works

this is the way there this is the

ignorance in the mind

that there has to be an intent behind

some everything because whatever i

create whatever appears

using my

body and my thoughts

has

there is me behind it

there is an intention behind it

so it projects its ignorance onto

the world onto the life forms

so this is the answer

and it can be taken to

another level by seeing

that

in the human mind the intention never

appears

by a will it appears from the memory

and you can only do that

which

which is the already there in memory and

what what is there in the memory that

which is already experienced

so you can say that the creation happens

in the mind but it happens through the

memory

and is again a transformation of some

kind

the mind is taking whatever is in the

memory transforming it into something

and that the same action appears through

the body in the world

so no creation there

nothing at all it is merely a change a

continuous change and it is the

ignorance of the mind to assign

an intention

an intelligence and

a creator a purpose and a meaning a

direction

to whatever appears

this is what we call as maya this is

projection of the mind on

simple

happening

simple appearances

the appearances are

i can say they are simple but not so

simple you see

but this extra layer is added on on top

of it

look this is being created from

somewhere it is coming

so

no intention

there it is just appearances

they appear in a very

ordered way actually they appear in

ordered and disordered both but the mind

selects that which is ordered

and does not make any sense of the

randomness so it is not you know

imprinted on the memory the random

things that happen they don't imprint on

the memory

a little bit of order yes appears as a

creation appears as a form

that is what is happening

there is everything all possibilities

and possibilities with a little bit of

order in them the low entropy patterns

they appear as forms

when perceived through the mind the mind

itself is a form

this is the funny thing this is the

paradoxical thing
