~ WorShip ~

Worship - The ship that takes you to the shore. Its not the permanent residence, a temporary transit accommodation that protects you from the weather outside, gets you acclimatized with enough time. Its a vessel to cross the ocean of birth and death. Enjoy the comforts(Bliss) of worshipping only to get ready to alight in the land of awareness. From the shore, watching the ocean, the ship -- one still remains a part of it with abundant gratefulness.
Only when wor-ship gets into a turbulent weather of ignorance as possessive, fear etc, it turns out to be a warship. Endless fight with one's own mind reflected in the swaying of ship from time to time, some get drowned, some learn to stabilize...until then its a waiting period for the sailing to happen.
So making use of that wonderful ship as a Transit Home or a Turbulent one, worship or warship depends on the mind of the individual. Just like a knife in the hands of a doctor -- a tool in his hand to cure enables many to seek his help. A knife in the hands of a madman --a weapon, no one ever would dare to go near. Who knows what he would do to himself or to any one for that matter. Just like how a madman is isolated, the mad mind too needs isolation to get treated. Meditation paves way to the unknown cure. Even a warship eventually gets transformed to a worship in the land of the Being.

'Only when wor-ship gets into a turbulent weather of ignorance as possessive, fear etc, it turns out to be a warship.' - not sure if I understood this post Merging Point, but I think excitement and over doing can get us from wor-ship to warship, that it is advicable to live balanced life in my opinion.

Wishing you Happy New Year 2008. Anna :)

~ "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...

~ 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...
