HOW TO PRACTICE MINDFULLNESS!

 

                       THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULLNESS

                                                                  ❤💫❤

                                YOU ARE HOLDING A RABBIT IN YOUR HANDS. WHAT ELSE IS THERE EXCEPT SENSORY PERCEPTION? WHY MUST THERE BE ANYTHING BEYOND SENSORY PERCEPTION? JUST LOOK AT THE CREATURE, LOOK INTO HIS EYES. LET THE PERCEPTION BE TOTAL, AND YOU WILL REALIZE WHAT IS BEYOND PERCEPTION BUT THAT COMES AS GRACE.

                          AM NOT ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS EXAMPLE AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF BEING MINDFUL TOWARDS ONE'S ACTIVITIES LIKE EATING, WALKING, ETC. IN ONE OF YOUR TALKS, YOU HAVE DISCOURAGED THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULNESS AND MENTIONED THAT OBSERVATION MEANS, AM I WITH THE BELOVED OR NOT? IT IS OBSERVATION OF THE INSIDE. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER.

💟💟💟

                              I HAVE SAID, REPEATEDLY, THAT YOU CANNOT BE PURPOSELESSLY MINDFUL. CONSCIOUSNESS IS ANYWAY VERY, VERY BURDENED. MAN'S MIND IS A STOREHOUSE OF ALL KINDS OF STUFF. MAN'S MIND IS ALREADY FULL. YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOAD IT MORE SENSORY OBJECTS.

                    SO, WHEN YOU DO LOOK AT SOMETHING WHEN YOU DO ADMIT SOMETHING INTO YOUR MIND SPACE, THERE MUST BE A STRONG AND VALID REASON. IN OTHER SENSE, MINDFULNESS HAS TO BE VERY, VERY PURPOSEFUL. NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GAIN ENTRY INTO YOUR MIND UNLESS THE ENTRY SERVES A CLEAR PURPOSE.

                                            💟💟💟

                      SO, IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY BENEFITS YOU WITH INSIGHTS, THEN BE MINDFUL OF IT, THEN ALLOW IT ENTRY INTO YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. OTHERWISE, JUST BEING CONSCIOUS OF EVERY LITTLE, TRIVIAL THING AND OBJECT THAT IS HAPPENING IN YOU, AROUND YOU, WILL LEAVE YOU NOWHERE. THERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE DISMISSIVE, REGARDLESS, OBLIVIOUS- CONTEMPTUOUSLY OBLIVIOUS.

                           PURPOSEFUL. PURPOSEFUL. YOU MUST KNOW WHY YOU ARE LOOKING AT SOMETHING. AND THE QUESTION THEN IS, IF YOU HAVE LOOKED AT THOSE VIDEOS CAREFULLY, "AM I WITH THE BELOVED OR NOT"? THAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MUST CONSTANTLY OCCUPY YOUR MIND SPACE.

💟💟💟

                           SO, DO BE MINDFUL OF STUFF THAT HELPS BRING BACK THIS QUESTION TO YOU, AND BE TOTALLY DISMISSIVE OF OTHER STUFF. JUST RANDOMLY AND PURPOSELESSLY COUNTING THE NUMBER OF STEPS THAT YOU TAKE FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE WASHROOM IS NO GOOD. IT IS A RANDOM AND DEAD PRACTICE. IT WILL FURTHER BURDEN AND DULL DOWN YOUR MIND.

                        NOTHING CAN BE JUST A MINDLESS PRACTICE. OTHERWISE, IT BECOMES THE ABSURDITY OF MINDLESS MINDFULLNESS. SO, WHEN YOU SAY THAT MINDFULNESS IS GOOD, I WILL SAY FINE, BUT BE MINDFULLY MINDFUL. DON'T BE RAMDOMLY MINDFUL, BECAUSE THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH FILTH THAT CAN FILL UP YOUR MIND. WHY MUST YOU ALLOW IT?

                                                 💟💟💟

               THE ART OF LIVING IS TO NOT KNOW A LOT. THERE MUST BE REALLY A LOT THAT YOU MUST KOT KNOW AT ALL. AND WHEN  SAY "KNOW",  I MEAN KNOWING IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS YOU. AND WE DO GET RELATED TO THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE, DON'T WE? AND THEN THE KNOWLEDGE BECOMES BURDEN.

                        SO, WE SHOULD JUST HAVE FUN!

                     TO MANY PEOPLE T SOUNDS SO BAD, THAT LIFE IS NOT A BURDEN AND YOU CAN JUST HAVE FUN. THIS S THE GREATEST NGHTMARE FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. "FUN? THE GREAT SIN!".

•                ❤     QUES : NO ATTACHMENT IS THERE?

                      ANS : AH, IT HAPPENS WITH EVERYBODY! WE ARE NOT HERE TO HAVE OUR EXPECTATIONS FULLFILLED. EVERYBODY WILL GET THAT SLAP ON THE BACK, SO I TOO GET THAT. NOW, WHAT IS SO SERIOUS ABOUT IT? KEEP TALKING IT!

•           ❤      QUES :    BUT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES IN LIFE, AND SOME METHODS OF MEDITATION TAKE YOU TO A CERTAN STATE THAT HELPS YOU TO LET GO OF YOUR ISSUES AND FEEL RELAXED AND ALL SUCH THINGS. ISN'T THAT VERY BEAUTIFUL?

                  ANS : I JUST WANT TO ASK SOMETHING. IF THAT STATE IS REALLY, WHAT YOU WANTED, THEN WHY DO NOT OPT TO COME OUT OF IT? IF YOU REALLY LOVE RISHIKESH, WHY DO YOU GO BACK? WHY?

•                    ❤    QUES : SO, DOES THAT MEAN THAT LIFE ITSELF ITSELF SHOULD BECOME MEDITATION?

                        QUES :  I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY INTO THE EGO, VERY OCCUPIED WTH THEIR WORK, BUSINESS, ETC. AND THEY USE A PROCESS OF MEDITATION TO CALM THEIR MIND, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVEN CONCENTRATE WELL IF YOUR MIND IS NOT CALM.

                            SO, THEY GO THROUGH A PERIOD OF MEDITATION, AND THEN THEY DROP THE MEDITATION ONCE THEY ARE CALM AND GO ABOUT THEIR WORK. THESE KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD FIND IT VERY HARD TO UNDERTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THAT SMALL WINDOW OF RELIEF.
