Turmoil

Sometimes, we go through periods of great inner turmoil. In this state, nothing is as it seems. Everything is seen in false light. So what should be done in this case?
First realize that in life what matters is not the external circumstance that you are in but your own inner reaction to it. Realize that deep inside, there is a level of existence that is untouched by anything external or internal. A sublimely supreme state which lies behind all states. A state which holds all other states. Surrender to this state. Know it to be more fundamental than anything else. This state is completely at peace with itself. Irrespective of what happens or doesn't happen, this state remains. We all share this state.

Mental Strength

Mental strength is the most important strength we can have. To be mentally strong, one must first be completely at peace with oneself. One must be certain about oneself and be willing to face own's own darkness. The secret lies in embracing the darkness inside one's own mind. Mental strength also requires a sense of surrender to the unknown. Accept the challenge and once accepted, dont look back, whatever the cost, whatever the pain. Once the decision has been made, commit to it. Be willing to live with uncertainty. And the most important thing is to be true to yourself, no matter the cost. He who is true to himself need not be afraid of anything. And this is the most difficult thing. And if you follow the truth all the way down, everything else becomes irrelevant.

If you have inner peace, nothing else matters
If you dont have inner peace, nothing else matters.

The Mundane

It is the ordinary and the mundane that is really the simplest and most beautiful. It is the ordinary life that in itself has great value. This is peace, simplicity and contentment. So, stop seeking the extraordinary. It is the mundane that is the source of all contentment.

Seeking

So, here I am, unable to sleep..so let me try to write...what if you realize that what you were seeking for your whole life, the state that you were desperate to achieve and all your hopes and dreams of how you would like life to be were all just a fantasy? What if this very instant is it? That which you have been seeking all along is just this and nothing else? Just now, right here, this very moment...just this and nothing else...no profound concepts, no feelings of extreme bliss, but just this very ordinariness of this instant...what if this is really all there is? What if nothing else is really needed? What if the entire preoccupation of the mind with some future better state ends right now? Better still, what if there is nothing to seek? And no one seeking anything??????????

Moments

And so we live our lives, moments passing by, some pleasant, some not so, but life goes on...its just this moment now, that is all, what else really is there other than this moment...love comes and goes...pain comes and goes...boredom comes and goes...all of these are guests who stay for sometime and leave...but this moment lasts forever!

Laziness

Why overwork yourself to death? Why not completely accept the fact that you are lazy. So be it. Get on with life. Lazy people have a great gift to share with society. They are those who cherish being in the natural state. They are generally more productive and creative. So enjoy being lazy. There is nothing better than that!
I totally love doing nothing and relaxing. Just enjoy the bliss of pure being...ah, there truly is nothing better than that!!
