I am not

My bones
My skin
my nose
my face
my fingers
my feet
my penis
my skull
my thoughts

I am above them. I am consciousness.

Child questions why

I like the child so innocent and gay
I like his smile and joyful play
He has questions and questions
Everything is a big why
I can only answers some questions
And leave the rest with don’t know why

I know this child will grow up
And stop questioning and believe in unchanging reality
I hope he does not stop questioning life
I hope he finds answers to why

The world is a mystery
that wise men quarrel to know its origin
We live here only a short while
and my love for this child
is unexpressable.
Love is the answer
Oh child that we may play together
and we exist to play and not live alone

Secret of spiritual happiness

Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavat gita that those people who do not sacrifice their actions to Him enjoy sense and body enjoyments(probably also mental)like the animals do and their life is not worth the human birth.

The abandoning sense enjoyment and the suggestions in the mind of indulgence in sense enjoyment knowing fully that there is a higher delight of our self existence within us and experiencing this delight which is far superior in quality to sense enjoyment is the secret that a wise man can really experience in life.

Does it mean that one also abandon relationships with other human beings? Relations do not necessarily be abandoned but care needs to be taken that one does not fall to the temptations of sense enjoyments and remain calm during the tumult of desires to indulge. It needs great faith in the divine to reject lower happiness for higher happiness of the self. One may temporarily abandon the physical circumstance that cause the lower happiness of the senses but life does not provide such opportunities all the time. Most of us are householders and have to take care of our families. A temporary vacation is fine but complete jettison of responsibilities is questionable. Of course all depends on the inner call. But eventually the yogin has to deal with everybody and he needs to learn through experience not to succumb to pressure and suggestions of lower happiness of the body.
The higher happiness of the self is waiting for you. Do not fall into the lure of the lower happiness of the body. Be wise. God will take care of you if you do your part.

Quote of the day: Robert Kennedy

"Laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws — but the final task is not a task for government. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted — when we tolerate what we know to be wrong — when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened — when we fail to speak up and speak out — we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice."

Quote of the day: Fatal mistake

We identify thoughts as ourselves and not as nature. We have no clue that we are the silence witness behind the thoughts. This identification of minds action as ourselves is the fatal mistake which is called the EGO. Oneself as the doer of action and not nature is the lost Knowledge of the doer that brings unbounded sorrow. When ego is sacrificed it bring Unbounded happiness.

Thought of the day

Do not think of women as an object of enjoyment. The body dies after a while and the desire of enjoyment never dies. Instead learn to look at the soul behind the body and the One who resides in the body.

Thought of the day

It is the Ego that divides my soul's union with the divine. Sacrifice the Ego and everything becomes the One Divine. Who else lives here other than Him.
