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!

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.

The non-camera view

As I move into the crowd for my daily work, I feel the space holding the entire crowd. As the canvas of silence holds all the noise, all the sound. Something is underlying which forms the basic fabric of life and everything/everyone is just printed colors on the fabric. Makes me take a step back from the print into the fabric and view myself in the crowd, as a part of the crowd, defined but fancy, unique but superfluous, serious but funny... seriously funny.

Namaste Friends :)

Laziness: a path

Laziness is all it takes: being lazy enough to even put the thoughts at rest, allow the mind to come to a standstill ! ... and the joy then takes over, overflows through the being.

The drive for all the automation comes from laziness, but to achieve the automation people end up working more and stressing more than ever. Hence, the development towards automation and progress doesn't serve the purpose it is meant to !

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy. The human race has moved away from itself because of ambition. As the ambition drops and one gains more peace of mind one becomes lazy; there is nowhere to go. A lazy person has a quality of innocence and is really harmless to anyone else, be it at physical or mental level; one in such a state does not even cause jealousy or comparison.

This laziness is all it takes: being lazy enough to even put the thoughts at rest, allow the mind to come to a standstill ! ... and the joy then takes over, overflows through the being.

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.

Slow is fast !

What space does to size is what speed of mind does to speed of action. Slower the mind gets closer we get to reality and have better understanding of reality; hence move faster in it.

Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you. - John De Paola

As we slow down, we get liberated of the burden of doing, instead, things start happening for us. A thinking trap is to slow down with an intention to see things move fast. Unfortunately, nature is smarter than we can be and returns such pretentious acts with ‘the law of reverse effect’.

Just ‘slow down’, for its own sake. It is a beautiful experience to live the entire moment in present, to extract the juice of life from one moment at a time; to live it in its completeness. It is strange but as we slow down in the mind the time slows down with us.
