RISE ABOVE THE TWO MOODS

Dear All,

In vedanta there are only two kinds of moods - joy, exultation or exhilaration and grief or depression. Now there is joy and five minutes later there is depression - the currents alternate. They belong to the sad-urmis (six waves, i.e. grief, delusion, hunger, thirst, decay and death). People of gloomy moods attract gloomy thoughts from others and from the akasic (etheric) records in the…

On the Way

Man of the Tao I am,
But am not a Taoist,
Man who walks the way
And never expects to complete.
For the way is my journey,
The way is all my life.
I love the way,
And with that, put my expectations out of sight.

The Making of Peace

A lot of people tell me they love to live in peace, and the thing is that most of them actually believe they do, how far is the truth.

I went to a Vipassana workshop once, where the main teacher said he was enlightened. Now I understand that if a person says he is something then he is not, since why would he have the need to say it out loud if he feels that he is already? Back then I didn't understand it, but I had a great need of checking people for what they say they are, and yet… Continue

Inner Peace

Hello, I'm here to speak to you about Peace.

Not peace between people, and neither among countries, but with the only person we have no choice but to live with until the end of our lives, the very same person who is sitting in your chair. Look down for a moment, recognize the feet? The hands? Yes, with yourselves.

My biggest dream since I can remember myself was to live in peace with myself. To know it wide and open and to know even better to pass it on so other people could…

Our Mind as a Drug

We want to feel the world, whether it's Happiness, Joy, Love and Peace, or if it's Fear, Anger, Hatred and Jealousy. Our nature is to feel what is happening; our nature is to be in the emotion when it arises. The amount of energy which arises is infinite.

And yet…

We learn from an early age to suppress certain emotions, we learn from an early age to suppress the emotions which our society declares and defines as disturbing and harming. I, for instance, suppressed the… Continue

Loving the Unknown

We all want something, anything. Wanting means we are still alive, and as long as we stay alive, we will always want something.

Most of us, when we want something, start thinking of how to get it because if we did know how to get it, we wouldn't be thinking of it, but just go and get it.

Sometimes, we find rather quickly how to get what we want and everything is fine, but when we don't we start feeling frustration after a while, sometimes we feel also anger because we don't know how… Continue

Miles of stillness

miles of stillness

here i sit in a sort of quiet stillness

Miles is caressing

tickling my consciousness

intriguing me to listen

The soothing notes of contemplative softness

releases my pensiveness

and i sigh

there are no whys anymore

pulling at me

prodding and poking me

to engage,

i am just being

the flow

the darkness i embrace . .… Continue

love certainly

love certainly

i am conducting this pertinent search

for certainty

that i may come to terms

with this hurt in me

a place where no Sun shines

or smiles exist

where the blossoms of understanding

desists

and i know not why

i cry inside like this

you see, i see

when i look across this landscape of humanity

i see a flourishing garden of insanity

and we profane… Continue

Three Types of Pleasure from B.Gita Chapter XVIII: 37-39 -By Swami Venkatesananda

Dear All,

That which is like poison at first but in the end like nectar - that pleasure is declared to be sattvika, born of the purity of one's own mind due to self-realization.

That pleasure which arises from the contact of the sense organs with the objects, which is at first like nectar, and in the end like poison - that is declared to be rajasa.

That pleasure which at first and in the sequel is delusive of the self, arising from sleep, indolence and heedlessness…

we had fears . . .

we had fears

there are fears that we dare not admit

hidden in the womb of our denials

the pouring forth our fears and tears

lightly dressed as smiles

insecurities and our unassuredness

and our foiled construction of esteem

yet every day we awaken to a life

where we embrace such empty dreams

be it loneliness or our indifference

from the myriad of things that touch… Continue
