~Humble~

-
"Humble"- even pronouncing the word gives a soft touch feel. Though there may be many many situations to refer and reconnect to this humbleness, one such incident leaves me speechless and comes instantly to my memory whenever i happen to think. So just sharing that moment of insight here.

We were on a spiritual camp and as volunteers, some of us were assigned to serve the Master in various ways. Myself along with another volunteer were asked to take care of the kitchen services.The lunch kit used to serve the master was taken by me but was kept in another volunteer's room who was taking care of serving the master. After the camp, i forgot to collect the kit and on our way back, the moment i noticed had informed the camp site where some of them were still there.

Next morning, i get a call from my kitchen partner(volunteer) saying, "let me apologise for not reminding you to take the master's kit". For a moment i became speechless, firstly for that humbleness and secondly, the sincerity with which it take came from the heart. Though a very brief conversation followed that sentence, it triggered into contemplation.

Most of us generally would have said,"you forgot to take the kit and i have taken and sent it".
Some of us might say," did you forget anything? ohk, now its taken and sent".
Some more," I noticed master's kit and thought you may have forgotten. So took and sent it".
Yet another few,"I knew she would forget to take. see it happened exactly". (invariably, such comments can be heard at the back of the actual person). But, it could be the really least of the lot like my fellow volunteer who may come up with such touching words that arise from the heart and thats what humbleness is all about, i felt.

Ofcourse the various other options that emerge instantly from each one of us is only an indication to the state and connectivity of the mind. Its wonderful to expand on each reply to just to know the nuances of the mind. Numb to the Being, the mind can express in its utmost gross and disconnected levels.

Whereas when awareness is bestowed, the clarity shines in its expression and would never let the mind reside in its ego and explode. Instead rooted in one's own self, the way it unfolds whether in words or in action is a beauty to watch and be grateful not just with one's own self but even with others blossoming. The portal of unfoldment is one and the same source, just that, expressions may differ.

May i remain eternally grateful to my beloved Master to realize such happenings within me and around me. May i also thank him for letting me come into contact with such wonderful beings like my fellow volunteer.

Hi Merging Point,

I like this, "The portal of unfoldment is one and the same source, just that, expressions may differ."

How we communicate and how we interpret what is communicated, all the play of light and shadow of the Maha Matrika Shakti.

Thanks for sharing this, awareness of the play of Consciousness.

Namaste!

" I dont care whether you give me permission." ----

Excuse me, you need to approach the Gazette. Seem to be lost.

"but the truth is both of us exist as manifestation whether you like it or not" ----

There is nothing to like or dislike and its just manifestation and nothing else, be it whatever.

"hi my name is arrogance." -- So be it! but if i had to call you may be it would be " Confused Crazy"

Dear Brother Arrogance!

Without night, where is the day?
Without ignorance, where is wisdom?

may your wish to compliment each other as arrogance and humility, as bro and sis aptly named by you to express the completeness -- so be it!!!

but,i wonder if anything could limit us, at the same time to know the completeness , lets have some fun with attributes.

Glad to know existence has a silent loving younger brother...anonymously..:)

"The saying missing the woods for the trees is apt here"

the brother and sister are manifestations i.e same existence manifests as brother & sister. therefore it is inappropriate to mention Glad ...........

nothing wrong in having fun with attributes but it is also important to recognize the other also as a attribute. which was the purpose of my posting.

It was just meant as glad to meet you here....

Ofcourse yes, having understood your purpose of the posting only said as having fun with attributes, that doesnt mean only certain attributes.

also, in the post, you may have noticed that its all about connectivity and disconnectivity with one's own self that gets expressed variously at different times. Our expressions are like pointers to our own connectivity or disconnectivity and its got nothing to do with right or wrong concept.

~ "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...

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...
