~ Who am I ~

A friend gave us an option to choose any one of the three --Potato, Egg, Tea. The query was, "whom do you want to be in this world?" Each one of us chose differently. The explanation given was astounding. This world is compared to the boiling water and the three objects represent, the you. When all these three objects are placed in a boiling water, the potato gets cooked and even breaks down. The egg gets cooked and remains hard withstanding the heat.(shell acts a s a protective shield) The tea, makes use of the boiling water, dissolves in it and gets transformed as a drink. World remains the same for everyone but it depends on purely as what we want to be. This is the major difference as how one learns to view the world with all its presentations, make use of it and be someone. Even with the best of situations, you may find the sulking and sad one. Surprisingly, even with the best of worst situations, you may still find the contended and complete one. Wherever we are right now, as a potato, egg or tea, once learning to connect well within, who knows we may become the tea for the world!

Dear Anna, you've got to be a human only(6th sense) but wise to ingrain the essence from tea. Byitself, tea doesnt even know we are quoting its name. lol

~ "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...
