साधो, सो सदगुरु मोहि भावे
सतप्रेम का भर-भर प्याला,
आप पिलाई मोहि प्यावे
परदा दूर करे आखिन का,
ब्रम्ह दरस दिखलावे|

ONE WHO WALKS ALONE


ONE WHO WALKS ALONE


confused, choosing for and against ,


The whole world goes astray .


Choiceless and celebrating God ;


He is a true sadhu .


people all bound together


 As donkey tied to donkey.


Who has inner vision


He's authentic man.


 One who walks  alone,


 He alone finds truth.


Heart absorbed in love


Never again comes back.


Wholeness is total vision ;


Everything is holy .


Says Kabir: it can't be understood.


This is something unwritten.

WITHOUT BOUNDRIES

                                            WITHOUT BOUNDRIES


Hi everyone,


after long break  i am writing this blog to share my experience ,while i was  at Advance meditation course of "ART OF LIVING "at banglore. it was excellent.during these five days course everybody was in silence{mouna}for three days .it is also a kind of meditation.  


during "seva" period , i was  busy in cleaning the flooring of {kitchen top}, . at that time i saw, a man  stairing  at me while having his lunch sitting on the parapet . i smiled  at him and waved my name tag . he showed me his name tag , without a single word ,  we could  speak  with the eyes,  like he was telling me he is very happy here , but why the boundries made by the man keep us apart ?when we belongs from one mother earth,a sky. answer is still even unknown to me . that 's why Guruji  always says  " vasudhaive kutumbkam" 


yes, he  was from pakistan, a journalist. came to  attend the course. only precious thing is  that ,we could feel our heart full of brotherliness in that short period.

Dealing with feelings

Dealing with Feeling



When we feel high, we have no problems. The problem comes when we feel low. No one wants to feel low. When one feels low, then the more one tries to feel high, the more the low feeling presist. This seems to be the biggest problem. What is important about the feeling? They never stay the same. Feeling are fluid. See,you feel good now,later you don't feel good.This continues in life. If we base our life on our feelings, we will be ruined . You feel good about something  now and a little later you feel  bad about the same thing. Then those feeling change yet again. Have you noticed feeling changing?



Many people are unware of the nature of feelings. Everywhere you will hear people say, "Follow your feelings, go by tyour feelings, do what you feel like,"etc. What will you do? Be independent? People mis interpret what independence means. They think it means following your feeling . They think" I do as I deel now, I do as I feel tommorow. I do as I feel the next day."Then there can be no stability in life.



We are unhappy if we follow our feeling. when you feel low, jump into the lowest, Be like water. That is your real nature; inside you, it is like water. The coconut is the symbol of the whole human life. The coconut has a husk, That is theenvironment,And then shell is the body , The mind and the inner intellect is the white menbrane  inside. The water is the innermost part . Your truenature is like water, fluid and not hard inside. What is the nature of water? Humility, it alwaysgoes down.



Stiffness is the problem. Stiffness is ego. Water can take any shape . Whatever glass you put in, it will take that shape. Water means acceptance of the present moment. You put the water in a bottle and it will take that shape. Our innermost Being agrees with nature. In water, the slightest movement makes ripples . It is dynamic also. It is not simply acceptance with fatalism; it is acceptance with motion, with dynamism, with readiness to jump up .A little shake, and the water is ready  to jump up.



 The  ocean is the lowest. How has the ocean become an ocean? It has accepted the lowest . Can ther be anything lower than an ocean? All rivers from the mountain tops flow down to the ocean.The ocean is full. The humblest is the greatest. If you agree to go low when you don't feel good,you will become the richest person on earth, Have you ever loved feeling? you have always fought with themWhen you don't feel high, justclose your eyes and go into that low. " Okay. todayI shall agree with my low feelings and I shall go as low as I can, without acting." Do not do any action but just agree, " Okay, I am going down,down, down......." How far will you go down? Youwill find the ocean there. you will start rising  up in no timr



Depression and low feelings cannot touch you. They can do nothing to you. They can do nothing to you . However big the clouds are, they cannot over shadow the sun. it could be the darkest day, but still it will remain day, and those clouds can never make it night. So, when clouds are there, you don't have to shiver. Just go deep , observe and you will see a lot of sensations rising up. some fears comes up. What is fear? Just a sensation in the body. Agree to it , " All right, let it be, I will dive into it today," An amazing thing happens within you, a phenomenon. Psychiatrists will be out of jobs. Everybody can look into this aspect. This is very , very beautiful.................



 What is the nature of water ? Water , when it reaches the ocean,does not always remain ther.It rises high as the clouds and then comes down again as water. Feelings and water synonymous............

SING, DANCE AND CELEBRATE

SING,DANCE AND CELEBRATE.......................................,

Life is simple and straightforward. In life nothing whatsoever is complicated. Existence is not a puzzle, but a man's mind is very intricate, and you have made a simple and straightforward thing both complicated and involved. Life is simple and straightforward----- and that is the very reason you are unable to attain to life, why you are unable to live life in the right way. If  life were ardous the mind would have solved the problem, the mind would have found some way to unravel it.

Existence is just in front of you and you are seekingit somewhere else. your ego does not enjoy seeking something that is near.     . It asks,"What fun is there in seeking something close by?" The ego does not like the idea of achieving something which is already achieved; getting  that which it does not have, ot considers a challenge.

 The ego has a habit of turning the simplest of things into the most intricate of problems, and when it has molded things to its own liking, it then takes them as challenges, as thing to be achieved. You then become engrossed,in solving the very dilemma you have invented yourself. But remember this------ if  there  were  any  complications  in  life  they  would  have  already been  solved  There  are  no  complications  in  life,  and  so  nothing  is ever  solved-----  even  though  you  keep  trying,  birth  after  birth.

 preserve this fact in your heart----- life is to be lived; it is not a problem to be solved, it is not a mathematical problem. On the contrary, life is a poem to besung, a dance , a celebration  in which you have to participate. Don't stand apart and think about life, don't ponder it. The current of life is a continuous flow. Get into life , your stand aloof from it; if you do, your relationship with life, you roots into life will be severed to the same degree............................'OSHO'

"life and behavior of people"

" i believe that everthing  happens for a reason, people change so that you can learn to let go. things go wrong so that you appriciate them, when they are right,


you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but YOUSELF and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together-"---------Buddha

"Enviornment day"l

Hifriends, today the world is celebrating "environment day", so i feel everyone of us must celbrate! or start thinking or start working seriously. as everyone know  the bad effects of "global warming". but  all the roots of this problems are , our growing  needs  of plastic, petrol, diesel, chemicles and so many otherthings, why cant we control  the use of such things  , which are polluting our enviornment?  .Let us start it from our own house, Let us stop using plastic carry bags, minimum use petrol/ diesel vehicles,minimum use of soap/shampoo, plastic containers/can/botteles/tubes,I know its very hard to manage. But my experience is once u determine, u can stop using such things, Let us plant and grow more trees. and take the pleasure of it .
