Meditations

Once a Master wanted to explain to a simple thick headed disciple, the
meaning of meditation and for that he tried a lot of methods and finally
when he realised that the subtle way was not working and nor were the
stories he made him carry a sac of grain up a mountain side. The humble
disciple had no problem going up for a while, but after sometime ...he
started feeling that the sac was heavier on his shoulders...and then with
each step it felt more so, but he walked and walked. He remembered the
masters command that he was not to set the sac down till he reached the
summit.

The love and devotion did not allow the disciple to disobey his
master....totally exhausted and drained,finally he threw the sac down on
reaching the summit. The mountian air was refreshing, all his resistance
disolved and with it his ordinary mind. Everything just seemed to stop. At
that instance he suddenly ralised he nature of his mind. 'Ah! This is what
my master has been showing me all along.' he thought. He ran back down the
mountain and burst into his master's room.

'I think I have got itnow....I have really got it!' His master smiled at him
knowingly : 'So you had an ineresting climb up the mountain did you?'

Whoever you are, ou too can have the experience the disciple had on that
mountain, and it is this experience that will give you fearlessness to
negotiate life and death.

The first step is the practice of meitation

I have had a lot of experience as we all must have during the time that we have been experimenting with life. But each turn I have found that I have got some very good human beings that have come to guide me or to rescue me...


My Dad for one he has been with me through thick and thin....and along with that is Mummy too....They have been the most supportive folks that one could ask for ..even though, we do not communicate much...which is a drawback...but then around meal times we do exchange ideas...even sometimes when we are having tea together. My mum sometimes I feel is very concerned about the way I look , sometimes I find her just starting at me with a very concerned look.


My wife I find is also one of those protective kinds and she is also trying to be doing things to be around me all the time ....even though I have made it a point to explain to her that I am a grown up and I would also like to have space by myself...and I do respect her space too. I rather that she be indipendent and do her own thing. Discover things and use her time to try out things and read and meditate too. Everyone needs to finally have a bit of awarness of what they are doing even when its happening on the spur of the moment. To enjoy any experience one needs to be in it! Like having an Ice Cream cone.......
