29 april 2010

silence , what a pleasant experience. when everything is quiet, u feel part of the larger universe, as the noise around u goes down and does not distract your attention.
listening to swamiji yesterday, i felt the beauty of the poetry that is Ramayana. Tulsidasji had a gift with words. the verse where he says there is no other way to be happy except in the glory of Rama is so definitive.
listened to swami chinmayanda on gita. he clearly said that the Supreme Lord does not need to do anything as he is free of desire. the more we clean up our vasanas, and exhaust them, the nearer we reach to God. we need to detach from the world of objects, emotions, and thoughts.

can u avoid actions. no, so then it is better to focus on those actions which create a positive impact on your self and the world around u. smile , make some smile. what does one need if u strip it to the minimum - we need food, clothes, and shelter to get a good night's sleep. that is all . the rest of everything is optional.
