ego

i am the ego, i keep talking all the time, i have strong opinions about thigs and places, i am aware of my defects, but when i am going on doing my business, i am being observed by .... ?

i am also called as personality, i am upset when things are going their own way and i cant do anything about it, i cannot accept failure and helplessness, i want to live my life my way, i am the little "i", but when i am going on doing my business, i am being observed by .... ?

i am the doer, i make plans, i observe and i comment, why am i not the "be"-er in a state of being and end up being the do-er instead?

i decide what to eat, i decide if i need to be good or bad, i anticipate the future and brood about the past, meanwhile i am being observed right "now" by .... ?

i know theoretically that i'm not the giver but just a channel for giving, yet i am affected when i give and i feel i'm being taken for granted, i know i'm yet to realize - that from the big perspective - there is no giver, gift or giving - its just the universe re-arranging itself

As long as there is a 'you' doing or not-doing, thinking or not-thinking, 'meditating' or 'not-meditating' you are no closer to home than the day you were born.

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.

Busy Life

 

Life providing a hurricane of experiences, at the moment stuck between a lot of work and reading the book 2 states by chetan bhagat. it brought back lot of past memories alive of college days.

Over the last month did a lot of travelling, visited Innovative film city with wife and her family. Visited Guhantara with wife for the family day conducted by my company. Its an underground resort, with lot of games, an in-house DJ, pool etc. Food was good too. I rate it an 8 out of 10.

Not been able to delve deeper into meditation, haven't finished my master course readings yet. I realize i’m not doing execution consistently.

As gurudeva says its the most important quality to have

Consistency is the Key for the conquest of karma
