Life means balance

I have seen people talking about this is wrong and this is right people saying , blaming each other , correcting each other, and then I just wonder if what they are doing is needed ,is there any point in doing that just fighting for one opinion and forgetting about the other one , its just your opinion for any thing that it is right and it mite be the right thing for you to do but for sure its not right for some one else for sure it is taking some thing for some where as what ever in this world which you get it comes from some other place and  when ever some thing goes from our life its in a way dearth for us and as per my understanding DEATH is wrong and what ever is wrong its in a way wrong for us, people don’t understand this that neither death is bad or wrong and nor what we think is wrong is bad.

I have this wonderful friend and she is having some health problem and she believes in a kind of healing technique which has to do more with the spirit, channeling ones energy letting it go in the direction where there is a blockage, as what ever is ill in us is because of some kind of blockage in our system, well I don’t know much about this technique but when I was thinking some thing came in my mind ,spirit is not body neither is the decease , if the decease has came from an outer source then it cant be called an out come of any blockage in the system because of any blockage in the flow of energy. And if she is not going for modern health techniques and making any kind of preferences based on the past experiences then she is making a mistakes might be the existence is telling us look beyond all the wonderful things, experiences which she has already seen might be the existence is telling her not to be with one but to see one in all , might be Buddha himself gave her this health issue to make her see things are always changing, as life as it is , is changing and what was the wrong way till yesterday has now become the right way now.

It’s an old story; if you want you can call it truth as there is not much difference because what ever as we take a truth will become story one day or we can say just in a single day, well this story is about Buddha when he was out in the jungle and doing intense Tantra  practices for attaining enlightenment on the shore of a river just letting it all go as the flowing river dissolve it all in the river he heard a musician a real master talking to one of his disciples, he was telling him if u let the string too lose or too tight the music will not be magical it will not have any fragrance, for us it might have been just a simple sentence , simple statement but for him it was the time of realization, was time for the discovery of the middle way path. If you lose it too much it will be too relaxed to create any sound , just like us when we become too relaxed about any karma, any thing , work in our life we can never really feel the heart beat of it, if you have the ears you can listen to the heart bead of every thing as it’s the circular nature of every thing which basically we understand as heart beat and when we become aware so that we can feel the circle we also become the feeling itself and then music is there then its not too lose. When Buddha heard it time stopped for him as his mind stopped as mind and time are the same and time can only move when mind is there, haven’t you noticed it when your with an old friend time passes so quickly and you don’t even realize, in the same way time can also stop and on that very day time stopped if you let it too tight then just like Buddha while he was doing vigorous meditation practices in the jungle the music will be lost. Going in the jungle is not the way to reach the truth, the way to reach God, to love, to feel the love of the existence. It’s just like moving from right to left, from home to jungle, from being a practical person to a philosopher or from being a philosopher to anti philosopher. But in any case there will be no music; it’s the middle way when needed its jungle when needed its home, when needed exoteric sciences and when needed esoteric. And believe me its not the strings which makes us blissful but the music it’s the health which makes us alive not the method.

Accept ego (becomes problem for spiritual seekers)

Before discussing any topic and starting any conversation there is one thing which all of us should do and all of us forget about it and that is to look in to the word , the topic which we are discussing , we keep on talking about different things and we don’t even know if we talking about the same thing or diff things, it is very much possible that we thinking we are talking about the same but we are not , I have seen people fighting upon a topic not because they mean differently but as are talking about some thing totally different topics.

Let’s try to look into what I mean when I am saying ego, when ever I write any thing or talk about any thing I like to separate it from me, looking into my experiences from outside, as I know if I will not separate it from the big MR. ME then it’s a story following my own personal legend. And all such stories of Mr. me can be called ego. Some people take it differently like I was talking to some friends and what they told me was not very different then all the stories which I have been listening to all these days like ego is bad and self esteem is good , some where I also agreed with them but didn’t knew if it was me or the same person who was telling me those stories, I have also heard all those stories and I am just what I have heard till now what ever I have seen and beyond that I am nothing, original idea is some thing which we don’t know how to even look for, they will never come from out side, they cant, its not in there nature. Or was I agreed just because of my conditionings, its not nice to disagree as when you do that there will be a war of ideas and who ever is against you will be in a war to prove that your wrong your empty and have got no original idea he will say no and not yes to your so called existences which you have created around your self around your so called me, around Me. Well when I am thinking about it now self esteem and ego are not very different then each other , not at least to my definition of ego, ego is the feeling of duality, separating your self from others and trying to separate in a superior way and its funny that it seems that your not trying to prove nay thing but it is the reality, in reality it seems that your right and that is , other is wrong and the reason is simply you only say right what is in you so there is no question of any thing outside then you to be right.

Let’s try to see into these two words self esteem and ego, these are two much talked about words. When ego was criticized and was afraid that now when people have started hating my, when they have seen it that how I am making there lives miserable he found a disguises for himself and see how we all are fooled by it we think that this self esteem is not bad , we take it not as an offence but as defense, ego is offensive it attacks the other person to make him self , put himself always on top of the other and self esteem is our defense which stops others to prove us wrong and if your not wrong then ??? You can say no one is but then what’s the need of defense???  You can say no he is also right and we are also right in our own way, but I am saying when there is you and he , when ever there is duality there is ego there is competition, and all the competition just like ego exists only in mind as both only exists in the mind no where else.

There is another way how you can see ego, how you can describe ego, its all that you or your so called self created you wants for himself, against the unwanted. When ever you have ego you will want some thing, ego is the motion towards the attainment of some thing which you want and of course you will accept it but it’s the non acceptance of the unwanted which is the power of the ego, a lot many times the spiritual seekers are stuck when this question comes in there mind that we will have to accept it all so we will have to leave ego as ego is the separation phenomena, its contradictory, no its not it just seems contradictory but in real its not and if your accepting all then even the contradictories should be included in it. Ego is saying yes to the good, the desires, what is already there inside you and non ego is to say yes to all the rest as well, here one should understand here we are not saying no to what we already have but we are saying yes to the rest as well there is no negation in it, here we are saying yes to also those which we don’t like as they are not part of us at the moment. But no one is talking about leaving what your, absolute cant be any thing which has not got you in it , its you plus the rest, its what you want and what you don’t want, its happy in the state of achievement and also in the sate submission for him they are just two words in reality there is no difference , neither in him nor in the existence, and when this idea settles deep in you then you really are not ego, then it doesn’t matter if you’re a king in the society or a beggar then your always a king in the real world then the Sanskrit statement  Aham bhramasmi  really stands true then you really are the absolute.

Don’t you think its just stupid to become the best when you can be complete and I have never seen any one who is not best who is complete? I don’t know why people aim low? You already become best when your complete, its just a part of it, it’s a byproduct it comes automatically, it’s the yes which can make you complete yes to what’s coming to you and also to which is not coming to you, you need to understand its just a thought if its not actualizing, say yes to this thought as well and it will go it will become a part of you and will not bother you any more I don’t tell you to be best I don’t want you to be incomplete when you can be absolute.
