Doing nothing

September 29, 2006

Sitting quietly

Doing nothing

Spring comes

And the grass grows by itself.

- A Zen Poet.

Zen is minimalist.

Sitting (Meditating)

Quietly (No chattering thoughts)

Doing Nothing (no lists,)

Spring comes (All is cyclical)

And the grass grows by itself (Nature happens on its own and is effortless.YOU are not required).

The universe is governed by its own laws.
Nature,seasons,time,the sun,moon ,earth-all move on their own.
So Relax.Meditate.Work.Relax.Play.Relax.

Do everything with the zen approach to life.
Effortlessly.Quietly.Appreciatingly.Lovingly.

Beauty appreciation

September 27, 2006

“On whose door does the moonlight not shine?”
-A Zen Poet

“Beauty is all around.
If only man has the time to appreciate it.”

With Zen, you can approach the within from the without.
Enjoying a cup of tea can become a spiritual experience.
Everything is poetry if you are a poet.
Everything is art if you are a painter.
“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.”

Insulate Yourself

September 27, 2006

This is the age where both Insurance as well as Insulation are a must for all.
Insurance everyone understands but what is insulation?
It is nothing but protecting yourself from dangerous electric currents(negative energies) which come at you from all directions.
So be aware and find your own ways to insulate yourself .

1. Insulate yourself from Currents of Stress.(Work Stress,Financial Stress,Emotional Stress,Pressure of Time Stress)

2.Insulate yourself from Bad vibes from a certain type of people.( jealous people,angry people,frustrated people,evil people,negative people,cynical people,sarcastic people,abusive people)Just bounce off all the negative energy these people emit and avoid these type of people totally, if possible.

3.Insulate yourself from all sorts Of Environmental Pollution.( Smoke pollution,Noise Pollution,Crowd Pollution,Traffic Pollution)

4.Insulate yourself from all junk foods.

5.Insulate yourself from mediocrity and from senseless activities.

Awareness is a good insulation material for the above dangers.
Meditation can lead to more awareness.
Breath control,Yoga can be good insulation for all types of stress.
Good fresh foods and fruits can fight the junk foods with ease.
Being very selective in your choice of investments and being very selective about what you spend money on can save you from financial stress.
Being very very selective in the choice of relationships can ward off all sorts of unwanted people from your life.
Being very selective in your choice of activities ,being selective about the T.V. programmes you watch and being selective about your surfing habits,can give you much needed breathing time in real life.

Insulation is not always possible but  if you become aware of the dangers, atleast you are forewarned.

Insurance is for the outside but insulation is protection for the within.To prevent electrocution of your peace of mind.

Sunday Beautiful Sunday.

September 25, 2006

Whoever invented the Sunday should definitely
be given the Best Inventor of All Times award.

What is so beautiful about Sundays is it is so Universal.

A Day of rest….Everybody with their family.All over the world.

The whole energy of a Sunday is so different than the other days.

So quiet and peaceful,so relaxed so soothing.

I propose that the week should contain one or two
more Sundays.

Life is good

September 24, 2006

Life is good..
When you are young.
When you are in love.
When you are in good health.
When you have no financial problems.
When you are growing old gracefully.
When you are free.
When you have had a good meal.
When you have good friends.
When you dont have many responsibilities.
When you are left alone.

Remember always,Life is good.
Life is joy.

“Let the joy of living fill your heart to overflowing.Do not loose joy in life as you grow old in years.”
-Prophet Zarathustra

May you never be a “Spent Force”

September 21, 2006

I’ve always wondered about the word “spent force” .

So when do you become a spent force?

When the flow stops.

When you move away from God.

When you become a pessimist.

When you stop laughing.

When you dont look forward to anything.

When you hate everybody.

When you dont care about anybody including yourself.

When you  loose interest even in surfing the net.

May that never happen.

May The Force be with you always.

May God be with all mankind always.
