"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"
If you happen to be one among the so called "crazy gazers of nature", probably you would have come across the famous comment from your near and dear ones --" whats so great to watch that sky?". Yes, neither they are wrong nor are they right. Its the view piece that needs to be checked. Picture captured by a clean and well maintained lens offers excellent clarity. As much loaded with dust that much distortion.
So its a vision from the source to the source. Cleansing and purifying one's own mind is as much essential as connecting to the source of the object beyond the interference of the body and mind of the object. "Crystal clear" vision is ofcourse the ultimate benediction. Initially, one can practise to connect to nature -- the sun, moon, stars,tree etc. where there is no interference of mind(no mind)from the otherside. Slowly and steadily the practise can be extended to the form - dog, birds etc and eventually to the wonder form(only form eligible for realization)-- the humanbeing. Meditation(cleansing and purifying the mind) graced by the Divine(Masters) would let us taste the nectar of bliss trickling down the river of eternity . Its then that crystal clear perception of the source unites in the joy of oneness! To see it as it is -- is the natural way of the perception.

Yes JJ, water happens to be one of the best mediums for purification. Reminds me of that Divineful dip in Holy Ganges!

~ "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...
