1. Learning a lot of things from my Italian friend - I myself get to learn lot of things while we communicate. Thanks Mirko.
2. Thanks to Mitti for casually introducing me to zen meditation. I am able to get more contemplative by practicing their koans (koan is a question - which can't be solved by the intellect and may not make sense but can be only answered through intuition) - example: what's the sound of left hand? Who am I now? To whom is this thought? Who is the non thinker? Etc
When in zen state - "now" is experienced. I'm not planning anything - the Objects are just showing up in their fullness. Its possible for me to easily be in that state for short durations - but being there for longer durations is a challenge - or that's what my mind opines. Daily i observe that i don't take my own mind and its opinions seriously anymore. Dear mind, you are losing hold of me. I'm getting free and one day u will just be my tool who will come only when i will.
Shifu in kungfu panda says - give up the illusion that you are the doer. I applied this at work and was amazed by the results. Mind is no more in an urgency or fear of failure. There is just pure persistence and i was able to solve a really complex problem at work. Thanks shifu. Yes, all are teachers in this life. Some teach what to do, some teach what not to do.
