Love is life....

Doubt! Doubt everything around you....Doubt that you exist...i suppose thats the only way to live. Unless you doubt, you wont explore, you wont enquire......thats the quality of doubt. This isnt mere an information, this is an experience. Once you doubt your doubt, then probably you may start living since there wont be any questions thereafter. Neither there will be answers but one may get rid of all questions. Till then, one has to doubt and enquire unceasingly. Slowly, slowly a nothingness arises, a great level of dissatisfaction will arise within. This dissatisfaction is of much much value and significance since it has come deep from one's being. When one realises there are no answers and no solutions then nothing will satiate one's soul. Only then one can move inward, the search takes a 180 degree turn for what one was looking outward, now moves inward. This is the real revolution.


Do we have something in our life that we can die for ? i wonder how many of us live as if we may die any moment. I feel that takes courage and much strength and probably to add its the way to complete freedom as well. Can we try to give every moment total attention? Can we connect to people in totality ? Isnt life happening in totality ?


I see posters all around 'exclusive interview' ...'live and exclusive' ..... can we not see that life is inclusive? Dont we all share the same air and space ? We have made our lives so private and exclusive that we dont allow anyone to tread in. Can we see that we're limiting ourselves by doing this? If only we give ourself totally into a moment, only then we can be free of that moment. Otherwise, life will always be half-lived like eating half-cooked food. Realised beings say 'Love is life' .....only by love one can reach the ultimate and if they say so ...love as life is a longing to include !

Life is meditation

Life is such a mystery and when one digs within ....this mystery can unfold! I see people around and nobody seems interested in living ......they all are here just to squeeze every bit of pleasure...whatsoever it takes, they will dash, hit hard the crowd around them just to move further....thats what they call life!

On a yet another beautiful evening, the sun sets and we all move towards the sea shore. One of the prominent sea shore of greater mumbai. One can fall in love with the rhythm of sea waves and quickly go into meditative states. Do i call this a reality ? Things which i feel and experience when i close my eyes OR things that i see in my mundane life ? Mind is such. It always creates hallucinations and then one can forever be trapped into it. Are'nt we all trapped here like this ?

Karma as we all call it ....some people call it 'fate', 'destiny', 'luck' and what not .....Do we atleast know what it is ? Why are we here ? For what reason we exist? Aren't we intelligent enough to explore higher dimension of life ? We can only explore if we have the right set of tools and environment....and that is what I call meditation is all about!

Enter into the realms of meditation and one uncovers all kinds of emotions clotted deep within....tears, laughter, anger, fear ........Its the path to the peak of humanity and at the same time as deep as himalayan valley......One makes a choice to close eyes as there is nothing new to be seen and probably nothing new to experience .....All our experiences are of mind ......and unless one sees this pattern and functioning of mind.......one can forever encircle within it......One of our contemporary living realised master once said 'Everything worth knowing can be known from within.......'
