~ No Zone ~

-
Where words fail to reach
The silence slips in
Boundaries are for
The Sound of words
No Zone, no boundary for
The Silence of the soul
None to remember, none to forget
Nothing to attach, nothing to detach
Just it is as it is
Practice sessions held within
The boundaries of body and mind
Enable to play the sport of Oneness
In an opponentless match
In the open field
Entry and exit, one and the same.

Peaceful, beautiful. I always begin my day by asking God what I can do for him today. I want my soul to stay One with him all day long. :D

Hugs, Jj

Good morning!

Wishing you a happy new week. Every time I read that poem I grasp onto another idea....this time *the silence*.

Sometimes the silence is awkward when two souls don't connect. It makes one wonder why their journeys are so different.

Beautiful as always Merging Point. You wrote: 'The Silence of the soul' - and only few of us can hear it if we really 'enable to play the sport of Oneness'. Again beautiful, Anna :)

I love that too, "no boundary for the silence of the soul." And the last line gets to me, too!

"In the open field
Entry and exit, one and the same."

Nice work!

True Jj! many times we wonder at the diversification of play. Most importantly one needs to keep a close watch on one's own connectivity, then its easier to understand, after all there are many ways...

~ "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...
