When it comes to the sight of “A Sick Being” you should reflect your own “sickness” through that person. Most of the time, people just notice a sick being and react accordingly. Some feel disgust towards them. Some shows' sympathy towards them. Some fear for them. Some feels' irritation with them. Some are likely to ignore them. Etc… etc…
Yes, we did discuss the “Sickness” too. But what is actually “Sickness” means? But to observe it as “The Omen” how focus is your mind now? Just as in the first sight, the “Sickness” also not just a matter of touching it in the surface.
You must reflect your own “Sickness” through the Sick being you come across in your life. It is true that you are healthy now. It may be no clue of getting “Sick”. But can you guarantee or is there anyone in the world that who can guarantee you that you are not going to “Sick” for the rest of your lifetime! Terrified already? Wait… remember, we need to dig deeper. Truth is not for the weak heart!
Your mind says “being sick” means having some kind of sickness. Diagnose by something known as sickness. As long as symptoms are not appeared, as long as diagnose not confirmed, as long as you feel fit you believe you are healthy. Isn’t that what happening?
Can’t you see you & me are bound to be “Sick” in our life, that also means that we are already “Sick beings”. Because we have the seed within to become a “Sick being” sooner or later. So, one must reflect this ABILITY of “getting Sick” within to observe the second omen. The ability of getting sick is the main sickness, we missed.
If you are a wise being, this reflection of your true nature makes you feel hurry to search for an exit. An exit from the existence. Coz you realize that as long as you are in the existence, this process of "bound to be sick" is something you need to face. So, your search for a solution starts. Your search for the liberation begins!
From the moment you see the omen of “sick person”, you see the “sickness” of everything around you. Instead of getting attracted towards with defilement, your mind seeks out for a solution.
Imagine, when you see your beloved one’s sickness in this way? When you know exactly that you can’t avoid their sickness or yours because it's already happening… How helpless you can be? Moreover, when you realize that your beloved ones don't see the true nature of "sickness" as it is, and they are behaving blindly, how helpless you can be?
Also, you should focus on the pain or the other disturbances comes to you when you say “that you are Sick” and the funniest part is that the most beloved one in your life can’t get your pain or those disturbances as a sign of love.
Do you understand what I mean! Imagine a moment when you are having a headache. What is the maximum support your beloved ones can give you? Or even the doctor? They can give you the support to have some painkillers, but they can’t take your pain out from you… can they feel your pain? In reality, can you feel anyone else pain?
What happens if every being in the world start to feel each other pain? Maybe this world become a better place to live then… isn’t it? So, it’s all in the imagination that one just says that he or she can feel the pain of other being but in reality, they can’t. You can’t… I can’t … So what’s the meaning of this love & other attachments if we can’t even take away the pain of “Sicknesses” from another being whom we love? Don’t that feeling makes you feel sick?
Not only for the living things... you reflect the "sickness" of everything around you. After you sees the omen of "sickness", things you're attracted towards are not same as before anymore! Your mind now looking for liberation from everything!
When you see everything "bound with Sickness" and when you see that's the nature of this existence, your mind purely seeks for the liberation. It's now fully focused towards The Answer! The moment your second sight comes to you… you will know it… just feel it, and you will know what to do next! Till then all these are just bundle of words and just teachings!
