~ Mundane to Moksha ~

Mundane to Moksha is the measuring scale for one's own use to have the actual understanding of moment of total awareness or being in the now. Simple mundane activities like having a bath, cutting vegetables, cleaning the house etc which are usually performed without much awareness can really be used as a tool to observe one's own progress towards witnessing the being in the now. If we notice, mostly when we do these activities, the mind would be busy planning something else ahead or reliving in the past because these everyday routine jobs do not need our attention much. Its indeed a great opportunity to make use of these mundane moments and turn to make it moments of now. Thats when even a mundane turns to moksha. Then comes the adversities in life wherein the same mundane jobs can go for a toss. Sometimes, one in adversity would just fail to perform these jobs because the mind is in turmoil with the past or the future and it becomes a task to even focus on the regular routine ...

Sharing some of the shades revealed by the word explain. Explain -- usage in the logical front. To prove the formula, one explains in different steps. Applying in life, to prove one's views and concepts, one goes into explanations. Kind of logical applications used in science, maths etc. But the catch in life is, there is nothing to prove but atmost give an extended description(explanation) to make the understanding easier. Instead, if someone is caught in the trap of proving(unconnected ego), then it can turn out to become an unpleasant experience. When one functions from the connected ego, automatically it views from the other person's angle and only stops with the extended description and never gets caught in proving. Even if the extended description fails to convey, it doesnt matter to the connected ego. As much as there is no need to understand everything in this world, so is it when it comes to explaining and expecting the other to understand. Its indeed an art expresse...
