Truthful words

MG — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:28:35 +0000

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful.
Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
- Lao Tsu

Truth is straight forward, obviously it is bitter. Beautiful words are only diplomatic words. Politicians are very clever to use articulate and beautiful words, but they are far away from the truth. Diplomatic language is very superficial.

Lao Tsu further says persuasive words are not good. Persuasion is ugly. Some religions always pursuing people to convert them into their religion. This way of persuasion is not a religious way. Actually this is crime. But this is happening since ages. For example so called religious authorities pursuing poor people to change their religion by offering food or for a political reason is not spirituality. They are only trying to increase the population of their brand.

Good words are not persuasive. They may hurt you because they are straight forward but they will transform you. Truthful words are bitter but they heal like medicine. Persuasion is sweet poison.

Make it simple

MG — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:51:00 +0000

Make your life simple, do not make it complicated. If you have a wife, then do not find a girlfriend, because it will create unnecessary complications. Make life as simple as you can. Remember one day you are going to die and you will not be able to take anything with you. So do not get attached with anything. Love is not attachment; in fact you can love only if you are not attached. Love means freedom. Love is simplicity. If you love then you will not make your life complicated.
Collecto-mania is nothing but insecurity. Love is total security. Love and death goes together. Love means to die every moment and NOT to collect the past. Then there is no recording of hurt. Love is NOT forgiveness but when there is love one simply does not blame so there is no question to forgive. When you are alert then there is no recording of hurt. If you are aware and somebody insults you then it does not create a disturbance or turbulence in your mind. You are alert and that moment is gone without leaving any mark. It is finished. This is to make things simple. But if you carry that hurt or insult in your mind then you are unnecessary making your life complicated. Don’t waste life in hate and regret.
If your partner is dumb and duffer or stupid then learn how to enjoy living with him/her, this is intelligence. If you are not having enough money then of course try to make more money but meantime learn to enjoy being poor. You can still laugh on yourself and few things only poor people can enjoy. You can take it as a thrill, a challenge or you may feel helpless, it is YOUR CHOICE. If your business is not running well then you can give some time to your family, friends and parents and enjoy. If you are diseased then you can spend time in reading or listening music. You are born with infinite possibilities and capacities, and to use this capacity to focus on worrying is only stupidity.
In adverse situations you have a chance of testing and increasing your mental and physical capacity. Do not find excuses because they also come from the same mind which is having all possibilities. It can give you ‘an excuse’ or ‘a way out’, it only depends on what you are EXPECTING or looking for.
If you stop making complications and make it simple for you then everything is easy. Carry a loving heart with you and things will become simple for you, or remember death and you will automatically avoid all complications or just imagine that you are wearing magical glasses on your eyes and as you look through those glasses you perceive every situation, person and life simple and easy for you.
Egoist person make life complicated and difficult. Ego drains your energy. Ego is a burden. It is stupidity to carry a stupid and non existing ego for your whole life, get hurt upon small things and die with heart attack.
Living simplicity means going with the flow, and flowing with the life. You don’t have to make it better because it is already beautiful and perfect than you can imagine. To love others is difficult so I’ll not advice you to love others but at least love yourself and have mercy on your little pity brain because it can not afford to bear the burden and bullshit which your ego wants to carry.

Eating meditation

MG — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:18:00 +0000

Eating with awareness is a very wonderful experience.
Sit comfortably and also become aware of the people sitting around you and become aware of the food on your plates.
When you pickup a morsel of food look at it mindfully and realize that each morsel of food is a representative the cosmos. Just look at it for half a second and really recognize it. Identify it with your mindfulness. Be mindful of every action. For example you pick it up, and you put it into your mouth, know what you are putting into your mouth. Become aware and mindful When you chew it, and know what we are chewing. It’s very simple. It takes only a half second. You just have to become mindful of your actions and the test, the color, the flavour, the smale, as many details as you can. Most of the time we don’t know what we are doing. We are either in the future or past. We are not aware or in different words we are not with the action.
Awareness should flow with the action. And you may find, while looking at a morsel of food, one can see the whole cosmos in it, the sunshine, and the earth. It has come from the universe for YOU.
While eating do not put anything else into your mouth, your worries, your tensions and concerns, just put the food in.
Be in the moment.
Chew only the food, not your worries.
This is what living in the present moment, living in the here and the now.
If you could do this simple thing you will find this is really a miracle.
Learn to enjoy your food and your eating. Let the food become a reality.
If you are not here and now then the food is not a reality.
People don’t really eat their food rather they eat their sorrow, anxiety, anger, past and future. To be present means to be united physically and mentally. Then only you are here and life is also here. Then you will find the simple piece of the fruit is the masterpiece of the universe.
Then the simple act of eating is enough to make you happy.
This eating your food mindfully with awareness is really miracle.
You can become mindful with anything you do.
Whatever you do with awareness is meditation, then simple things like washing your cloths or cleaning the floor become a miracle.
Meditation is not something you do for half an hour, every action you do can become meditation.

Rebellion

MG — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:36:00 +0000

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. – Albert Camus

I’m absolutely agree with this quote of Albert Camus. And the only way you can become absolutely free from the society and social hypnosis is to become more alert and more watchful. There is no other way to get free. Changing your religion or to join new group or idiology has nothing to do with rebel. True rebel means to get out of social conditioning whether it may be political or religious.
Meditation is to rebel, it is to wake up from the world of sleep, dreams and habits. Meditation means to throw away authority and tradition. It is to get free from the past, it is to live moment to moment, fresh and alive.
Birds don’t have any philosophy, they don’t need a guru and they don’t know about god. There is nowhere to go and nothing to achieve. No nirvana, no samadhi, nothing. There is no begining and there is no end.

But not a single Indian did I meet!

The real terrorist

A terrorist is a religious person or person with certain principles, ideas or concepts but not having his own light, he may look intelligent but his intelligence is nothing but a programmed mechanical behavior. He is not a good or bad person but just a programmed machine.

To me a person who is terrifying others, frightening others is a terrorist. Real terrorists are politicians who are encouraging you to fight each other over small issues like language, color, land, cast etc. Priests and so called holy man who is spreading the message of love but secretly selling their own religion are real terrorist.

Every religion claims that love is the greatest virtue, if love is the greatest virtue and you realized it then what is the need to remain a Muslim, Hindu, Cristian or Jew. As long as a single religion remains on the earth terrorism will go on.

Are you a sleeping religious human machine or walking in your own light of awareness and free from all religions? Look at your disk which you call your brain, and realize that it’s not your own. If you believe somewhere deep down even secretly that you belong to a religion, cast, color or language which is superior than others then you belong to the same category. It doesn’t matter whether you carry a gun or just thoughts. Basically it is a thought which control the gun. Find the real terrorist who is hidden within you.

A person who is carrying hateful ideas and violent thoughts which may hurt others is a terrorist. Desire to dominate others or forcefully imposing ideas and concept on others is violence.

To spread a religion using gun, sword and bombs is a sign of immature and animalistic culture. To use religion for political purpose is also sign of immaturity of so called intellectual politicians. If religion is love then there is no need for any label. All labels are outdated. They must go.

Anger and melodrama

MG — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:08:00 +0000

How to deal with angry person, full of hate and melodrama?
Don’t do anything, simply watch,
Your attention is their fuel, let them burn and finish in their own fire of anger, hatred and jelously. Anger is poison. Anger is not power but weakness.
Angry young man become superstar in movies only, in real world they may end in either jail or asylum. These people suffer from incurable diseases, lose their peace, happiness and spoile their relationships and career. They hurt only themselfs in trying to hurt others. This is enough punishment for them. You should not be afraid of their anger, actually they should feel afraid of their own uncontrollable behaviour.
You should just maintain your own integrity. You can control or change only yourself and not others. Anger is stupidity and immaturity.
If your wife is melodramatic and threatening you to commit sucied then you must sincerely help her to really commit sucied instead of accepting her reduculous demands. If you could show her that her melodrama doesn’t works, she will stop it or get into another imbalance that is frustration or depression. Depression is the culmination of anger.
Look at the dogs chasing the car, aren’t they behaving like stupid? And how they look when the car is passed?
If you don’t lose your integrity and remain calm then these people will feel exactly like this.

Lessons of life

MG — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 14:21:00 +0000

Lessons of life are easy to know,
Difficult to understand
And almost impossible to apply.

Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do. – Bruce Lee
