~ Indicators ~

-
In a vehicle on road, the indicators play a major role in alerting the others on the path and letting them move smoothly in their way. Firstly, it is more of a mental alertness for the one who drives as to clearly know his way. Secondly, it helps the others to know if you are going to turn right or left etc.

Right frame of mind, the indicators are on the right track too. Any swing in the functioning of mind, the same indicators get switched on wrongly -- right indicator and turn left. This results in accidents, chaos and all confusions to the rider and the rest. Sometimes, traffic jam too!

The light is permanently fixed and so is the switch with facility to move the way we want. who is it operating? That's what makes the difference.

Moods of the human beings are similar to the indicators. Clear mind operating results in the good moods, paves way clearly for self and others too. Confused mind operating, unfortunately results in the bad moods and the chaos, accidents and the traffic jam is innumerable. Swing of moods is the toughest for the self and others on the way. Just imagine, you never know when the guy in front is going to follow his indications correctly. sometimes yes, sometimes no. It is like an adventure trip right in the middle of your journey.

Aligning with such a confused mind or a clear mind is what one learns and keeps moving ahead. Watching the tyre's movement helps us to get the indications of the turn too. So is it with human beings too. Subtle body languages come handy as indicators.

To grasp and move ahead, one needs to be stable and clear firstly with one's own self. Indeed, it is an adventurous journey with all its subtleties!

According to acupuncture, if there is an imbalance in flow of energies within a person, they can be even standing in the middle of the road and insensitive to a honking car right behind!
So when the flow of energy is brought to balance, the mind automatically gets flowing.

~ "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...
