Relationship is like a person walking on the road.
He is not independant of the road yet he is not the road.
The road may have pits attimes but its purely dependant
on how he relates to the pit. One can relate only if one is
aware of the pits like the swinging of moods, basic nature,
perception of the individual etc...are some of the pits to be
aware of in a human relationship.
Probably, they didnt name it as relateroad because
comparatively its much easier to visualize the pits on the
road than on the sea. May be thats why its called relationship.
Once you are aware, next comes relating. This is the most
challenging and an interesting one too. The intention which is
simple, direct and good need not always result in good too, if
one fails in this step of relating. For an example, lets say one
approaches a calf to caress. The calf so willingly enjoys the
strokes on its head. Now imagine the same person, approaching
with the same intention to a snake. It would immediately go on a
defensive system and strike the person with venom. Now to
say the snake is bad and the calf is good only shows the
ignorance of the one who is dealing. The snake has its own
charm, so is the calf. Different shapes and shades of creation
with the Divine spark in it.

Henceforth, its vital to have the awareness to identify the pits,
apply the brakes, accelerate as much needed and keep moving
on the drive. So is it not important to ensure that the one who
drives has all these faculties in perfect control and coordination?
Thats where the drive to the inner road within one's ownSelf is
essential.

Relate to the Self .....

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

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

Eyes chose to embrace gently simply to let me dwell deep within Surging up like a lightening Stillness bestowed to realize The silence thats within and without Even while the sense chose To fill the ear with Divineful music Aware to the aliveness All alone in meditativeness To express the effects In words as here can the cause be contained In words of limitedness Bow down in grateful silence My own Beloved source...
