Breathe & Smile

Dear friend,



Remember, peace here doesn't mean to sit like statue. The word peace is like cardboard, tasteless. 

Being peace is to live in this moment. No strings connected to past or future. Drop the past means, just don't get over burdened and remain stressed. Drop future doesn't mean we will not buy the ticket for tomorrow, but we should not board the train mentally today. 

Live in the moment is very simple but small practices.

Like when we take a bite of roti from dish, watch peacefully like slow motion. From dish to roti touch the lips. Then chew it with smile, enjoy the chewing and we can feel the juices in the mouth. 

Like when we shower, feel each drop of water dropping on body. Each body part should be touched and reamin full of gratitude. Even while cleaning the body, towel should be touched gentaly. Hang the towel with such gratitude, as that helped us. Put on the clothes mindfully and be thankful to them too. That should not become habit, but every moement should be mindful.

Like when we walk, walk peacefully. When bottom of the feet touch the ground feel it. While drinking water, feel every gulp going inside. While sitting be mindful that body is sitting and feel it. While talking be mindful, smile and speak to maintain the energy. 

That awareness should be every moment, but shouldn't drop the idea if missing that so frequently. Like we fall down in mud we get up and clean ourself and keep walking. Same way, every moment we will drop it, but whenever we realise just breathe and smile.

Defintely everyone think they breathe and smile. But that is robotic. Breathe in should be slow, long and deep. Even breathe out should be slow and mindful. 

There is much more to share but words will be same like cardboard, tasteless. For each word I have to write 'means' and those means having their own 'means'. Sitting like statue is hazardous, sit mindfully. For each word we need to explain, that is why all failed and misinterpreted. Though when someone explore the taste, try to narrate.....

I shared with someone, that person tried an hour and shared there is no peace. Miss the concept, mindfull breathing should be itself joyous, don't entagle mind in peace of FUTURE. Mindful breathing means show gratitude to the nature, to the cosmos that you are still alive.

Breathe and Smile

Life

A common man need constant change otherwise he will get bored of life.


Buddha or Krishna who found the oneness of everything, realise that everything is temporary and in constant change.


To make the environment happy around, Krishna has to play the role of Joker. 


That’s why Krishna was doing Leela.

Water is to drink

Food is to eat

Air is to breathe

&

Life is to live.


All philosophy we read or listen might help to ignite but life is beyond the books and thoughts. 


Simple way, when we search the destination path on google map, the first thing asked to enter “Your Location “.  There are thousands of way to reach at any location. But important is our current location.


Exactly that way, we have to accept where we are. Then the path will be helpful. We also have to understand that what we read is the finger pointing somewhere by Krishna. It is not the path itself.

Patience

When we think now patience is over and react to the actions by others, we are overburdened by the past. The person living every moment, don't have memory of past, so will never loose patience.

If we are holding our anger just because of teachings about anger then it is very dangerous. Approaching in scientific way, if anger is bad and we are holding it inside then it is same like we feel vomiting but holding inside instead of spitting out. Constant efforts of holding agner can cause cancer.

When we vomit we try to avoid such food, which cause the vomiting. That will help us to avoid such incident. Same we have to find the cause of the anger, that will help us to be peace. In root cause of all anger there is something happened which we don't like. Now make the list of things which we don't like and we do it or we have to pass through it, we have no choice to alter such things.

Like, we are not the richest person on the planet, we would like to be but we cannot and live the whole life with consolation or compromise. Like we don't want to be sick, but we do. We would like to wake up early but we cannot. We would like to stand first in schools, colleges, everywhere, but we cannot. 

We would like to sleep whole day but we cannot. We would like take a break and sit on mountains, on seashores for hours and hous but we cannot. We don't like to do mistakes, but we do over the life. 

We never learn that things are not under our control, even for ourselves. Then how we can control others to do as we want.

Living every moment, accepting as what happened is the key to peace. Patience is  just outcome of the whole process.

hapiness is just acceptance of presence...



Osho Says: "It is said that a French prince visited a jail. In honor of the royal guest, the prison warden offered to release any prisoner the prince might designate. T

o pick out that prisoner, the prince began interviewing each of the men privately, asking, "Why are you here?" "I'm innocent, my lord!" cried one. "I've been framed!" pleaded another. Perjury, prejudice, injustice and oppression were reasons given by the convicts for their being in prison.

Only one man told a different story. "Your highness," he replied, "I deserve to be here and I have no complaint. In my time I have been a wicked, desperate murderer. It is a great mercy, both to society and to myself, that I am here."

"You wicked wretch!" the prince replied. "What a pity you should be confined among so many honest citizens. You admit yourself that you are evil enough to corrupt them all. I can't allow you to remain in their company another day. Guard! This is the man I wish released!"

Once you accept the reality, you are relieved, released; the prison exists no more. So don't try to be humble! Just know that ego arises. What can you do? You are not creating it. It is just like when a wave moves: in the wake another wave follows it upside-down -- that is the wake. It is natural.

When there arises a big mountain, a valley follows it. The valley is nothing but the mountain upside-down. It is part of it. When you move, in the wake your shadow, your valley, follows. You simply accept it!

Mountains are not crying tears that 'why do valleys exist?' And neither are waves worried. The very idea that you have to get rid of the ego is wrong. Drop that very idea! When ego arises, simply note the fact that the shadow is falling -- and remember not to get identified with it; remember that you are separate. This is enough.

And the true humbleness is born out of this realization. It is not an effort against the ego that brings humbleness. If you fight the ego, it can bring you a certain type of humbleness -- but then there will be another ego arising and that will be the ego of the humble person.

The pious ego: "I am the most humble person in the world. Nobody is humble in comparison to me. I am at the top." Again the ego has arisen. Ego will always arise whatsoever you do.

Doing brings ego. Ego is the shadow of action. And there is only one thing that is not doing and that is awareness, watchfulness. The only thing that is not part of the world of action is pure awareness.

No shadow is created by pure awareness. It is so pure that light can pass through it -- it is transparent and no shadow is created. Shadow is created by solid things. The more solid a thing is, the more shadow it creates. Your body creates a shadow; your mind also creates a shadow -- the ego is the shadow of the mind.

If you become more aware, if you simply watch the mind, its functioning, its mechanism, then you are moving beyond the mind. You become just pure awareness, transparent. Then there is no shadow. So just laugh at it. And if it tries to seduce you, have a good laugh! at your own absurdities. But don't become a warrior and don't start fighting with it."
