New learnings

New learnings in life over the few days:

- Be like a river, completely detached from the banks (any past or future)

- Continual attending to the present in both good and bad situations

- Accept everything as one's own karma

- Being non-judgemental about oneself & most importantly others.

- Seeing instead of thinking by breath control. You are here on earth to just observe.

- Being instead of doing.

- Following ahimsa at all costs while tuning to the river of life, even at the cost of being hurt, exhibiting toleration, believe me you dont want the karma of hurting someone come back and bite you in this life or the next.

- “This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.” (Johann Wolfgang)

- Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

--Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States, 1932

- "A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence."

-- Jim Watkins

Affirm "im greater than any challenge that i meet"

Affirm "i have a good observation therefore im superconscious"

"when the subconscious mind has accepted the fact that the mind was all finished long ago in all its phases of manifestation, from the refined to the gross -- then the subconscious begins working as a pure channel, so to speak, for superconsciousness"

-- Gurudeva

The whole objective is to find out the "i am", to find out - who is it that is aware, this awareness is defined as pure intelligence and being in it at all times - being centered around it - known as "kanif" state in Shum language is the key for spiritual evolution towards merger with Siva.
