ENTRAPPED IN FORM:

[Pravin Kumar]

Entrapped in Form:

When there's a need to reach for something because of a mind agitation, you become entrapped in form. Until this is seen, you will remain entrapped as you seek to quiet the mind agitation with the next thing reached for.

You will never find the peace you’re seeking if you’re entrapped to form which is the seeker of peace. Peace is something that's already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, one gets entrapped in form which makes you think peace is something outside of you. Unfortunately this entrapment to form makes the very thing you are seeking impossible to grasp. This entrapment is the reason one is constantly reaching for something from the outside and until this is seen, you will remain entrapped to a form that thinks peace is in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, religion, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, politics, and on and on, this reaching is proof that there is entrapment to form. I can't stress this enough as this entrapment to your form has to be seen if you are to experience true peace in your life.

It's impossible to think your way to understanding this. What does have to happen if there’s to be an understanding of this is why you’re entrapped to a form is because of the inability to just be. When the need to reach for something arises, the entrapment to form begins. This entrapment to form is a vicious cycle that's very difficult to break. Breaking free of form and being at peace isn't something attained or achieved so it's in doing less (detachment) that peace is experienced. To many people get lost (entrapped) in trying to find peace through the attachment to form, but since it's something that's already within you, the entrapment is a circle because it becomes about finding what’s already there. This is not easy to see, but it's why I share so the entrapment to form can be seen for what it is; the cause of why you aren’t at peace.
