~ Bungee Jumping ~

-

An adventurous sport, loved by many, experienced by few and never ever dream of venturing into it by lots and lots -- The Bungee Jumping!


This sport has three stages, climbing up the steps, watching from the platform and finally jumping. Life is a sport. Knowledge are the steps taking one to reach the edge--the platform. Know-the-edge = knowledge. Transformation is the platform. Transform all that has been formed in climbing up the steps. That which is formed can only be transformed. The knowledge that was formed to climb the steps gets transformed to be the original, natural one. Then comes the jumping. Let go- is the mantra, simple two little words that turn out to be the huge obstacle.


This sport loved by many reach upto the platform but fail to perform the "let go" stage. They just return back to the steps --caught in the knowledge. Its the fear, insecurity -- the blocks that arrests the freeflow. Even with the best of safety systems, letting go is a big hurdle. The one who lets go is the one who is anchored well within and has that innate adventure to experience thats beyond, The Real natural one. Lesser the hurdles closer is the reach. Once off the platform, its an experience by itself and watching them depicts the freedom. On reaching, its full of smile!

I haven't gone bungee jumping, but I can appreciate that feeling when you're about to step off the edge. Maybe one day I'll try it - but not just now! :)

Letting go may be easier in Bungee Jumping, because there is the knowledge of the history of earlier bungee jumpers and the feeling of security the cord gives. But bungee jumping in real life, is quite a different thing.

With existence bestowing Masters to be with, what more is needed to let the bungee jumping happen, just that one has to be available.

Even in Bungee jumping(sport), no two persons experience can be same.

~ "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...
