keeping quiet ~ Being quiet

-
When a child jumps around and makes so much noise all the time
in the house, usually, the mother would say, 'keep quiet".
The child out of fear will keep quiet. That's, not shouting verbally.
But have you noticed the restlessness that still exists
in the child, in the form of, bodily movement, fidgeting,
uneasiness etc. Even if the verbal communication is arrested,
the suppression is expressed in the body language. This is
the result of keeping quiet. This can be easily noticed with some
children who are called as, "Hyperactive". When they are
in a new environment where usually they have to present
themselves as normal quiet goody goody kind, one can
feel the result of that so called, "keeping quiet". Its like they will
be waiting to let go. So much of suppression held within.
But, there are some children, who remain calm when required.
They don't pose the goody, goody stuff but just they are quiet.
In such children, there is a calmness seen and felt. Same kid can
become the loudest while playing in the ground. This is the sign
of Being quiet. Its the Being which is naturally quiet.

The mind, can also choose to be a "hyperactive kid" or a "normal
kid". Its for the individual to choose the right one. Circumstances
and situations can force an individual to adopt suppression. Suppression
can pose the, "keeping quiet" attitude and reflect the related expressions
of body language.At times, you can find the lid blow off and will be shell
shocked to the effects of suppression.But, turning within and watching
the mind enables the individual to attain the natural, "Being quiet" state.
In this, "Being quiet" state, one can truly feel the inner Being and also
would radiate the Light within. It is with such people that one would like
to be with.

Meditation is the connecting bridge to cross from "keeping quiet" to
"Being quiet". Its here the process of clearing the traffic jam begins.
The heavy thought waves are dissolved and the mind is made lighter
and clearer. In this quietness is born the lightness of the being.

Feel light within and radiate The Divine light!

~ "Adapt Tune" ~

An insight into a dance competition show. Unlike the regular performance where a participant proves his dancing skills to a song selected and well trained for it, here he is expected to dance to the unexpected tunes. The DJ on the set is the creator of the tunes for that moment. The participant on the floor is evaluated as to how well his performance is tuned in to the unexpected rhythms. "Expect the unexpected" and tune in to be your own self. Thats when the best of performance is unfolded. You dont perform but you just tune in to the rhythms. There is a subtle and yet a vital difference that distinguishes you from the rest. The sense organ, ear, lets the listening happen. The mind accepts the tune and the body adapts to the tune and thats what is called the dance. Firstly, one needs to be well equipped with the skills and thats what is called confidence. Without a proper knowledge and practice of the skill, one would only turn out to be a laughing stock on the floor. Once t...

~ Intellect~

Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade. It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument. Left without a wooden case to hold, the blade still remains a sharpened tool but dangerous even to the user. Try holding a sharpened blade and make use of it. May be, your hands would bleed first even before making use of it. When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

~ Levels of Awareness ~

Beware of Ignorance Be Aware of Self! That which begins as a practice Becomes a part of the whole Nothing new that never existed is going to be introduced for practicing. Yet, there comes a moment when each of us are introduced to discover our own self through various means. Body exists from the time of birth, yet the real feel of that first moment is experiential. Same with breath too. Breathing has been happening but when we enter into its realm with that touch of awareness then on the Real living begins. Ignorance in a way acts as the backdrop for awareness. In life, when we begin to learn some art or anything, we tend to have a total focus on the job. Like when we first begin to cut vegetables, the eyes, the hands and the mind are in total focus. Its the practice which eventually leads to evolution. Perfection sounds more like a finite one. But with subtleness, it just expands to nowhere. The taste of the self which begins as a practice eventually grows to expand in awareness. Focu...
