~ Accident ~

-
A pedestrian on road gets knocked off by a car driven by a disturbed mind. His limbs become the gifts for that accident. Now, what next? atleast, he was fortunate to go for the artificial limbs that to a certain extent compensate for the original ones. Being a lover of nature, had explored extensively treading and trekking different terrains. Now, how is he going to cope up with his adventurous spirit. This is when the difference in perception speaks. Caught in concepts of blaming and cursing, one can never move ahead. Instead, it can become a great booster for a turn within. From certain expressions of nature, he moves ahead to focus on the very essence of nature. he may not be able to climb "The Himalayas", but he can experience the essence if only he accepts and adapts to the "Now". The palm tree has not stopped its dancing, the birds have not stopped their singing, the stars have not stopped shining.... all belong to the same nature! just learning to wear the limbs just like the dress is the solution. Everyday its a process of learning but never we should stop learning until totally mastering the art. A new accessory to experience the essence! Infact, you learn to appreciate the support it renders and you remain grateful. Fresh new look to look within too. Caution -- never get trapped with the once upon original legs.
Drop the old from the mind, refresh with the new.

Accident -- may cause a dent at the most, but never let it tent.

One have to always know that history cannot be changed, and for better or worst we always need to go on with our life, we may be crippled but life does not stops moving forward, and we must always move forward with our surrounding no matter what - otherwise we may end up in places we really don't want to be - buried in depression. Merging Point another great post, something to reflect on. Thank you for sharing, and life is beautiful. 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...

~ 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...
