Burn The Rubber !!

Journey to everywhere or anywhere begins with filling the fuel. Contemplating further on this "Fuel" and relating the "Journey on road" to 'Journey to nowhere", it is quite interesting to note certain insights.

Undoubtedly, the vehicle would not move an inch with out fuel. But, have you thought, just by filling the fuel does the vehicle move?. No. It is in the burning of the fuel which gets converted into energy and enables the movement of the vehicle. That clearly indicates that the stored fuel no longer remains as it is but only in its burning, the energy is gained.

Relating the same concept with fuel to knowledge, one can see the insight. Just as knowledge stored, there can be no application in this world as wisdom. Just as the fuel tank, the mind too stores it as knowledge and probably, the human being is referred to as a scholar. Only when knowledge is applied and converted into wisdom, the journey to nowhere happens. Till then, the mind is only a store house.

Application as awareness may probably be related to the man on steering. Simply sitting on the seat is not going to lead one anywhere even if the tank is full. Likewise, if the mind filled with knowledge if not used rightly can meet with an accident and land up else where than the destination.

Every stage of this wonderful journey reveals the importance of every stage until there is no more but just be ! Journey goes on ...

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

Eyes chose to embrace gently simply to let me dwell deep within Surging up like a lightening Stillness bestowed to realize The silence thats within and without Even while the sense chose To fill the ear with Divineful music Aware to the aliveness All alone in meditativeness To express the effects In words as here can the cause be contained In words of limitedness Bow down in grateful silence My own Beloved source...
