Emotions

Long have I cursed my mind The tumultuous flow of thoughts The deep longings for objects The thirsts for fulfilling lusts calls The hatred bred in misunderstandings The sorrow of imagined loss Some ignoramus pointed at the mind And I the fool followed I... I ... naan ...moi.... The seeker that itself is the sought ... Clarity. .. what a fool I've been The mind is a tool A beautiful device of joy An infinite treasure trove of thoughts A keeper of life's longings A lover of treasured moments A book of life's learnings A magical wand for living in joy What a great gift of life The thing which I thought was my curse Is the greatest blessing of my existence I can differentiate myself from everything else And still belong to the world of things I can divinize the moment and the place Else I can see the Divinity in All All and All and All in me I am but Truth in All that is to see Oh. . If not for this blessed mind I offer thanks to All that is I know ...

The ancient masters were profound and subtle. Their wisdom was unfathomable. There is no way to describe it; All we can describe is their appearance. They were careful As someone crossing an iced-over stream. Alert as a warrior in enemy territory. Courteous as a guest. Fluid as melting ice. Shapable as a block of wood. Receptive as a valley. Clear as a glass of water. Do you have the patience to wait Till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving Till the right action arises by itself? The master doesn’t seek fulfillment. Not seeking, not expecting, She is present, and can welcome all things. ~ Lao Tsu

I would like to imagine myself within this force field covered by layer over layer of powerful energy that I could control. That would be possible to achieve feats that I wouldn't have been able to do for several lifetimes. Do those amazing things that would leave the future in awe. The power to control that which I create. That would put me in a position so great the there would be none other than me so powerful Quite childish actually. .... Thoughts that defined me as special as separate from everything else known. Until you realize there is that opposite word. . The Unknown That word is associated with fear The more these thoughts wander the more there is one certainty. The I that I so passionately use is just a collection of my thoughts. My thoughts as memory and my imagined future. While the body that I so cling to as who I am is just an energy field I associate my thoughts to be centered on this field. Why I even use this right in doing this exercise of jotting down these...

No snakes no elephants no tigers they are best left in the cage. No work too cause the govt should give me free What are we coming to?

1 A Peaceful Warrior / by vivek / 20 hours ago I WISH YOU ENOUGH Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said: "I love you and I wish you enough." The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?" "I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be fo...

First Sip / by CLAUDIA / 3 days ago People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. If you give the world the best you have, it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway. ~ Karl Menninger Tweet Visit website

We cannot begin to see the realms beyond periphery These ghosts and odd anomalies that whisper of reality But modern man is so adept at skimming past the ocean's depths From shoal to shore but still convinced We can't feel the spinning underneath This globe rotates and no one perceives We're so small but man always believes We are the center, measure of all things If this is where we lie, some place between the matter and the mystified And only foolish minds would attempt to fit the universe inside Maybe all our lives are founded in the moments that escape our eyes And prudent hearts will find that there is beauty in the mysteries of life We are so small - Sean Derr from an fb comment

10 SEC READING the writer and God http://feedly.com/e/BVj3xcoI During his whole life, the Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba, The Last Temptation of Christ) was an absolutely coherent man. Although he touched on religious themes in many of his books – such as an excellent biography of Saint Francis of Assisi – he always considered himself a confirmed atheist. Well, this confirmed atheist wrote one of the most beautiful definitions of God that I have ever come across: “We gaze with perplexity at the highest part of the spiral of force that governs the Universe. “And we call it God. “We could give it any other name: Abyss, Mystery, Absolute Darkness, Total Light, Matter, Spirit, Supreme Hope, Supreme Despair, Silence. “But we call it God, because only this name – for some mysterious reason – is capable of making our heart tremble with vigor. “And let there be no doubt that this trembling is absolutely indispensable for us to...

It's a lot of noise Sometimes the noise forms words Rarely they make a sentence Once in a blue moon they make sense And then they flow But it's still noise Enmanas

Animals fight to defend their bodies Humans curse to defend their imagination of themselves This imagined notion of who we are And how others are supposed to see us Is called aham Aham constantly seeks validation from the external world. When that is not forthcoming it becomes insecure Aham makes humans accumulate things Through things we hope people will look upon us As we imagine ourselves That is why ,Janaka , People display their wealth And their knowledge And their power Aham yearns to be seen Ashtavakra to Janaka Sita - Devdutt Pattanaik

How long do I search for Him Using the mirror in my mind How long in shapes and forms He seems to be of many race and colours He even seems to know many tongues Hey You with a beard or without one I speak now to You like many before me And many more to come I suddenly felt lost when I thought You didn't exist A thought so song that life felt meaningless without You in form Hence I ask You now how much longer do I seek You Using this mirror in my mind For all I see are various forms Some say there is a place beyond Some a life better in Thy presence But I can't accept any unless You show me here Now a life of meaning I believe I know Thy scent Thy form shape and colour now I am aware of Thy presence Yet I cannot but sell You Through the mirror in my mind How much longer this hide and seek How much longer do I hold For I have shattered this mirror in the hope That i take it that You are me alone Here and now I am. ...

Do we try to check with our views. Do we feel the necessity to have others cross verify or views. .. Let me clarify, do I require someone to look at my thoughts or actions or words and tell me.. alright. .. is that process of validation required. Is that what I seek. ..or is it a necessity in society Let me rephrase. ... is it necessary to seek help. Society and civilisation as we know it was not built by one man or one generation but by several. Did they need validation. ... Do we make ourself smaller by seeking ideas. Do we make ourselves weaker by asking what we need. .. do we put itself at a disadvantage setting ourself exposed in seeing help or ideas. .... Let me rephrase. .. do I see myself put at difficulty in seeking help or ideas. .... On the contrary. ..I believe my strength is in saying what I need to say and asking what I feel like asking.
