~ Relate / Connect ~

-
Music -- Its there in some form or the other in everyone's life. Some love singing, some just listening. Nature presents the best of unheard tunes and melody all the time. Silence and stillness is the platform for that everlasting music with the great performers --thunder, storm or a cuckoo's call, fingers of the wind strumming the leaves....etc. name it --rock, jazz, pop, country, nothing left by nature. The question is " are you there to listen?"
Our intellectuals too have offered us with the best of systems to listen to the music. They are all well promoted and exquisitely displayed in showrooms which eventually find a place with the individual at home, work place or anywhere. How does one listen to it?
Looking at a plug point, everybody knows it as a channel for utilizing the electricity. But one has to plug in the music system to listen. Thats connecting to the source. Knowing the plug point is relating to it as a channel for electricity. Plugging in is connecting to the unknown source, electricity. so is it with nature too. Knowing all the performers is relating, connecting to the unknown beyond the form is listening to the music. Relating to the creation, connecting to the creator to let the eternal music go on.
Relationship, mostly ends up with only relating and rarely gets connected beyond the barriers of nametags-- father,mother, friend, child...... Thats why "Master--Disciple" is called as the "Relationless relationship". Wonderful source to relate and connect too, only then the music flows. Stop only with relating, be assured, its not just the music alone which would be missing but sure to have miseries of your own mind. Relate -- only misery. Relate to connect -- Lovely music! Choose the right one and be there at the right time.

~ "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...
