Inevitable
He left work, excited about the evening that he was to spend planning his weekend and hopefully watching a movie at the same time... The work was finally paying off after all these years of effort... Got a bunch of flowers to lighten up the home, picked a few fruits that could last for the weekend... Ah, and also avocado, cucumber and hemp seeds that would form his healthy raw breakfast the next morning... He was proud of himself for taking care of his health lately... Although a bit tired he was thankful that he reached the bus stop in time... Boarded the 18:17 bus and got a seat... 'I'm always lucky to get the seat I want', he thought to himself... Smiling to himself about the phone call he had received from a dear friend he felt his heavy eyelids and knew that it was best to rest on the way... With his eyes closed, a thought of forthcoming travel adventure crossed his mind... Half-asleep, he would never know what happened, whether the bus hit something or something hit his bus of thoughts, but suddenly everything stopped and all voices disappeared. He died!

On the seventh day God built this MIRROR !!!

The world is just a HUGE mirror and everything that we do not like in the world is actually a part of us, the part we are unable to confront! Every person we hate resembles to a part within us that we detest. What is within, is without.
Thanks to the ones I have disliked because they have done their best to bring me close to truth.
What More?
There are some people we 'like'. Darling, this is where the difficult part lies. We cannot drop dislike, unless we drop like. Dislike is just the conunterweight of like, it is fueled by 'Like'. Thanks to the ones I have liked because they show me why do I dislike.

You and me are Breathing, without having to 'remember to breathe' ... isn't that Wikkhed ! ... 'Gratitude!'

.
I plan to feel hungry at 1215 hrs GMT, I plan to digest food by 1500 hrs GMT and I plan to use all enzimes in listed proportion to convert it into blood. Finally, I plan to supply this blood evenly to my entire body ! ...... (deep breath)
Its so blissful to realise that nature takes care of most essential things in life ... 'Gratitude!'
Love, Vishal S. Avchar

Elevating from Erroneous Extremes

The mundane minds, gather the momentum of the monotonous mediocrity.
The dramatic dreamers, dear to drown in a distinguished delusion.
... then there are those who remain alert yet unseemly, awake yet undistinguished.

No-Mind

.
A no-mind state is so blissful, so much one with the nature... Just being without any judgment, without any label of good or bad. Then whatsoever one does is so innocent. Whether it is singing with nature or being wild as a beast, it has the same quality.
Look into the eyes of a wild animal, there exists pure innocence. It begins with the mind slowing down, slowing down so much that life operates by itself, undisturbed, unjudged... just on its own accord.

So ! What have YOU been searching for?

'The Question' becomes 'The Answer'
Human being is a search in itself. Presence of the mind in human has altered it into a process rather than a static being. The process that remains undefined, wild, free from all bondages. It still remains guided at an unperceivable
level to collapse it into self.
The guidance may go unheard for indefinite time resulting the search to take oneself astray. How astray could a part go? It still remains that of whole, unknowing, undissolved, agitated. It asks questions and seeks answers to get
relieved of quest. The answers, however, do not quench the thirst. The relief from the answer is similar to the light from a passing vehicle on a dark night; It just leaves us in darkness that now seems much more dense.The game continues, another question and another answer, deceptive hit but actual miss...
...Until 'the' question presents itself as 'the' answer. It would be incorrect to identify it as a 'question'. It is just 'The' presenting itself but our habit of raising a question, it expects a question. Inability of mind to perceive 'the' fit into a question makes leaves it blank. In this blank movement, as if on a blank screen, 'the' question becomes to 'the' answer. This gestalt effect is a single flash ! Its a unity, so much that its is difficult to tell the cause from the effect. The presence of the question and answer being the same thing could be called cause or even the effect of the mind going blank.

Observation: for Enlightenment
Is desiring not a necessary evil? AND Is observing/ seeing sufficient without further actions?
Example 1: Consider a rope lying on a street. The mind fears it if the mind assumes this rope to be a snake. (This is a conventional example for illusion / Maya) Will it be sufficient to go closer to the object and observe if it is rope or snake? Once observed and understood that it is a rope, will any action be required for realisation?
Example 2: When I hit someone, does the action consume a part of my energy? (me, as a physical being in this body-mind) Yes it does, the action is nothing but a part of my energy.
Subtler: Before hitting someone, the anger that takes me over also should be a part of my own energy, cannot be something induced from outside. A part of my energy has afterall been used for anger. Is it the same case with 'Fear' as well? Is my fear also a part of me? It is all me and my energy in different forms.
Even Subtler: I am asleep and am dreaming. Where does the energy to make up the dream come from? The dream is being played in my mind (probably unconcious mind) but it is still a part of me. I supply energy to it.
When in dream we are so involved in the dream that we consider it to be a matter of life and death. We sometimes get scared in the dream - the effect of which is also seen on the body (say, sweating) ! All the dreams have features that, if observed while dreaming, hint us towards understanding that it is a dream. [Many of us have been through this experience. It is now also possible, using cognitive science methods, to identify reality and dream state :).. these methods involve continuous observation !]
Is 'knowing that this is a dream' sufficient to come out of it? Or would we still need some action?In other words, Once we are awake do we still need to take any action to get rid of the desires that we had in the dream?
