Neither become conditioned nor de-conditioned, rather be unconditional in life, love & learning


Seers say that life, happiness, love, liberation, etc., are unconditional and universal. As noted philosopher J Krishnamurti says, “Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.” Unconditional state of consciousness is looking at thing 'as is' without reaction or judgement.


“Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something, and it is only such love that can know freedom,” he adds.


The outer world is based on conditionality, and we have to understand its falsehood. Charles Stanley warns, If we have built on the fragile cornerstones of human wisdom, pride, and conditional love, things may look good for a while, but a weak foundation causes collapse when storms hit."


Here is a phrasal diamante poem that contrasts 'unconditional' with 'conditional'


Unconditional


Absolute, universal


Freeing oneself from dualities, being neutral towards extremes, being the pure awareness


Life has intrinsic or inner value for living it unconditionally, the outer world conditions us to live conditional life through incidental and constructed normative sensual experiences


Shaping behaviour, competing, motivating through reward and punishment


Subjective, selfish


Conditional
