~ Confidence ~

-
Confide in one's own self is confidence. For this to happen, one needs to identify the self. The human being is used to developing confidence in others. Its the outside which lets you know and get the feel of that word, confidence. Actually, the outside either helps to identify the hidden potential or becomes an emptying vessel for emotional confidence. All these aspects take place on the zone of body and mind functioning.

To have a complete development in one's own self, the search for wholeness begins. Thats when every aspect and angle of the outside is turned within to derive the same, right within. Not every individual is fortunate to get that exclusive guidance from a human form who knows His Self and who enables you to find your self too.

Coming into contact with such Realised beings, you discover a whole lot of missing(misplaced) blocks that are essential to complete the construction. Both the body and mind are meant for attaining the eventual wholeness. Remaining in the comfort zone, doesnot let one to explore and find the rest of the blocks. Either its fear or ignorance that pulls down the confidence. The one who has a clear vision never gets distracted in the comfort zone(however great and beautiful it may look) and is always on the move(change) to have the wholeness.

Still worse, people who get stuck to the comfort zone when refused can even resort to accusing The one who had been instrumental in their development. A child refusing to have the food is initially cajoled and given chocolate to develop the confidence. But, the mother's aim would finally be to feed the real nourishment much needed for the kid. No mother is ever going to feed the child only with chocolates and allow the deterioration. If the kid blames the mother, it only shows its ignorance. But same continues with any other relationship especially when coming to know the real self, none other than the individual is at loss and misery.

Be wise to know your self well and be grateful to existence for all such blessings.

This is excellent Merging Point, and I have to tell you I lack some of it. I am always unsure of myself, even when people tell me its all good - may be I am just too judgemental of myself. I have to let go.....Thanks for sharing, is is always good to read and be reminded. 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...
