o correct-Thoughts if you can't enjoy, then what is this life for? enjoy anything (love, life, food, a beautiful scene, a sunset, a morning, beautiful clothes, a good bath -- small things, ordinary things), if you cannot enjoy this things, and there are people who cannot enjoy anything: they become interested in God. They are the most impossible people; they can never reach to God. God enjoys these trees, otherwise why does He go on creating them? He is not fed up at all, not at all. For millennia He has been working on trees flowers and birds, and He goes on listening.He goes on replacing: new beings, new earths, new planets. He is really very, very colorful! Look at life, watch it, and you will see the heart of God GET THE ROOT, THE FUNDAMENTAL -treat ALL KINDS OF LANGUAGE AND KNOWLEDGE AND ALL YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES AS YOU RESPOND TO PEOPLE AND ADAPT TO CIRCUMSTANCES,THROUGH SO MANY UPSETS AND DOWNFALLS, WHETHER JOYOUS OR ANGRY, GOOD OR BAD, FAVORABLE OR ADVERSE - As TRIVIAL MATTERS, THE BRANCHES.

The inner work is a process of self-discovery, of liberation from externally imposed form, and of personal growth through inspiration and revelation. This produces change, and you should expect that your relationships will undergo change. Such change may be internal to the relationship or it may be external (e.g. separation). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OM Gurave Namaha If you want to find a true friend, find someone who is never tired of listening to you and who is always willing to forigive you. Most likely, you will never find that person, except in yourself. Are you what you are or what you think you are? Is your life your interpretation of it or the actual experience? Is truth the truth or your view of it? Is your personaliy real or a projection of your thoughts, beliefs, desires and expectations? Noise does not disturb silence. Noise moves through silence and eventually dissolves in it. The noise that we create upon earth is but a little whimper in the eternal silence of the universe. Failure in good actions is better than success in evil actions. The former lifts you up. The latter pulls you down. To awaken the mind of God, you must rest your own. Once upon a time the demons used to live in far away lands. Later they began living inside us. Nowadays they live right under our roofs, right in front of us as television sets/laptops/smart-phones and talk to the demons inside us. If God sleeps the world will be asleep. To keep Himself awake all this is. Do you want to change some behavior in you? Here is the simplest solution which is also the most difficult to practice. Just stop doing it! Life is too short to envy other people's wealth. Create your own. When in doubt, listen to your mind but trust your heart. With each lie you leave a wrinkle on your soul. With each lie you remove a brick on the bridge to freedom. With each lie, you bring evil closer to your heart. If it happens once, it is circumstances. If you do it always, it is habit. If it you do it mostly, it is weakness. If you do nothing about it, it is self-denial. If you lie about it, it is deception. Your problems are gifts from heaven. When you are flying, you cannot be slack. If you want to enjoy the view up from there, you need to keep your wings flapping. With each lie you distance yourself from yourself. with each lie, you step away from reality.With each lie you hurt those whom you love. Use your problems to know what is wrong with you, your actions or your life. Let them tell you why you have invited them into your life and what you intend to learn from them. Until we know the truth, let us keep sacred things sacred. Fools disagree because of ignorance. Intelligent people disagree because of their excess knowledge. The wise one neither agrees nor disagrees. Hence he is called, muni, the silent one. We are born to die. We start dying from the day we are born. We spend a whole lifetime trying not to remember this universal truth. We ignore it when we are young. We try to deal with it as we become older and perhaps start worrying about it as our bodies begin to fail us. _________________________________________ For the human mind, perception is reality. Perceptions keep changing. Watch the same painting for a few minutes. Every time you look at it, you see something new. Then is it right to live by surface thoughts, borrowed opinions, unverified experiences and assumed truths? I am fortunate that I am born as a Hindu. I have learned to tolerate my own ignorance and that of others. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to lie. Unfortunately some people think so. We learn from Hinduism this. Your religion does not have to have a name. God does not have to be the center of it. What you believe in is important. If your beliefs can set you free from all that holds you back here in chains, consider that you are blessed and you have come a long way in the journey of your liberation. The more I read the newspapers, the less I believe in history When it is dark do not light a candle. Close your eyes and sleep. Darkness is eternal. Light is just a temporary phenomenon. Do not speak to the silence. Listen to it. No one envies your success in this world, unless one happens to be your friend or relation. When you choose not to walk on a straight path, do not complain that you are seeing only twists and turns. With a thousand lies you cannot create even one truth. When you want to climb a mountain be prepared to slip and fall. If you live in the past, you will be history sooner than you think. Make the sky empty and fill it again. It is better to keep some dreams as dreams. Reality is a tough companion. Learning is a discipline. You cannot learn without concentration, commitment and humility. If you hear people saying, "Here is a great leader, praise him," don't believe them. They have been doing that since the earliest times. The best of the human beings rarely received their due credit. They died mostly unknown, just as they are now. There is no such thing as honesty unless you believe in it. Do not take history too seriously. It is mostly a story of convenience and wilful insominia. We are born to die. We start dying from the day we are born. We spend a whole lifetime trying not to remember this universal truth. We ignore it when we are young. We try to deal with it as we become older and perhaps start worrying about it as our bodies begin to fail us. ________________________________________________________________________________________ What we desire and do not get, all this we find by going in within ourselves. For here indeed are the true desires within the covering of the false. Just as those who do not know the field, walk again and again over the treasure of gold and do not find it. In the same way most of us go into the world of Brahma and do not find it; for we are carried away by our false desires and fail to recognize the true ones even though they are hidden within. Chandogya Upanishad (chapter 3: verse 2) __________________________________________________________________________________________ We can be taken in by the illusionary natures of the desires and think that the satiation of the worldly desires is all what the soul wants. But it is important to understand that the fulfillment of the worldly desires is part of the process of unveiling of the true soul. The soul is treading the wheel of desire as the fulfillment of one set of material desires can create an ever-increasing appetite for more and more. These desires never become fulfilled. The true desire of the soul is to get off this wheel and find self-realization, peace and eternal happiness. The struggle between the real and the false has to be understood. The false desires are those we search for in the outside world. The true desires are satisfied from within. The basic struggle of the soul is to differentiate between the two and its inability to differentiate is the reason why it takes birth again and again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ He was relaxed with nothing to do.

Then the moment is enough. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ I cannot say I achieved. I can only say I tried so much that I was annihilated. I tried so much that any effort became absurd. And the moment came when I was not trying, when the mind was not, when I was not thinking. Then there was no future because there was no past. Both were always together. Past is behind, future is in front; they are always conjoined. If one drops, the other drops simultaneously. Then there was no future, no past, no mind. I was mindless, I was I-less. Then something happened, and I cannot say that this something happened in that moment. I can only say that this was always happening, only I was not aware. It was always happening, only I was closed. So I cannot say I have achieved something." Buddha said, "I can only say I have lost something - the ego, the mind - I have not achieved anything at all. Now I know that all that I have was always there. It was in every layer, it was in every stone, in every flower, but now I recognize it was always so. Only I was blind.

This constant reminder will help our return towards that goal, again and again, as we loose our path. We will keep loosing our path repeatedly as our focus will keep diluting, since worldly attractions will engage our interests more often. The journey will be long and arduous. It will take numerous births. Eventually each of us will reach there; only the time taken will be different for each soul. So is the case, in our normal life as well. reincarnation all our activities-physical mental-as seen from our perspective and so unique are stored simulltaneously in cloud storage in global memory/database[akashic memory bank] Birth-permanent space particles-dna/rna? come together periodically random? to form bodies and useglobal storageGS to download fundamental memories-instinct?- in these bodies-bios?-at conception/birth/post birth? in rare cases GB is accessed/retrieved by some part of this body memory-trigger?-some previous combination to show some "past life"-no connection to this life-sudden death-no time for past memories to be erased-as such stored in special place - "We inherit those abilities that have been shaped by selection during millions of years of evolution, a kind of cumulative record ormemory of abilities that have favored survival and reproduction among our ancestors. " MEMORY STORAGE-RETRIEVAL "We use the word "encoding" to refer to memory deposition, or memory registration, at the time of learning. Weknow that encoding depends on many different factors such as the amount of attention that is being paid to an event, how important the event is to that individual, and the extent to which that individual can categorize or otherwise organize the event in relation to preexisting knowledge. The results of the encoding can be held in storage so that later on, even many years or decades later, it is possible torecall that event. In part, we think recall occurs through reactivating some of the same neuronal patterns that were important when the information was being registered in the first place.We believe that memory is stored in a spread-out, neuronally distributed way in the brain, and that memories are stored physically in the same areas that were initially involved in processing and analyzing the event that is to be remembered. hippocampus is important for storing new memories and for retrieving recent memories. But as memories grow older, something changes in the brain, so that they don't require this structure for retrieval any more. we have patients who have a memory impairment for a short time, only for one day, for example. And when such patients recover function in these brain sites, they never recover memory for that lost day. It is as though those events were never recorded.

When we attach to things we interpret them as necessary for our well-being and completeness, so they become distortive of our worldviews and behaviour. In detachment we turn our back on life, in unattachment we let it flow freely through our fingers. In the case of being in love and being attached to a person with the emotion of love, an enlightened person would not experience that either. That is not to say they would not love a person, but it is unconditional, non-possessive, and non-controlling./26/4
