True!! Its so easy to be distracted and forget that you are just here!

OK ERJET…send me a ticket!

YES !!! 🙂

i agree

Tell it like it is…..sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, Sigmond Freud

Hello the gr8 Present.. Your name is now THE PRESENT.

i think its d mind which has to be in d present moment…….and that is most important of all………

The mind is ALWAYS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT….EVEN when it thinks about the past or present. This CONCEPT that you are not in the present is so bogus and causes suffering in seekers, who are always “looking” for the present moment.

That SPACE THAT YOU ARE IN IS THE PRESENT MOMENT.

Goddess Dvorahji! You hit the spiritual nail on the enlightend head again. Pura Vida!

It’s all so SIMPLE, yet so RADICAL….OBSERVE…Where are you? YOU ARE HERE. Where else could you be?

nooooooooo my dear have to share it wid u dat most of d misery, pain n suffering is bcuz the ‘pendulum ‘ mind keeps moving to much to d right n left that is to d past n future which is like entanglement wid something over which u have no control n leaves u in a situation where u r like hanging from a hook on the wall utterly helpless………

UNFORTUNATELY, there’s an infinite amount of reasons for misery, to go around!

If we would just ACCEPT that the mind goes backwards and forwards and upside down – and realize that we are NOT our thoughts, then we could more readily fall into that PEACEFUL/SPACE that is our NATURE, when we are overwhelmed by thoughts & feelings.

The TRICK, is to accept life as it shows up…fighting it just doesn’t work (although we do feel like we’re getting somewhere when we are doing something). 

From my perspective, as soon as you wake up and the thought hits you, “here I am”, your suffering begins.

Yoga, meditation, chanting, chocolate and all kinds of drugs…do help for a little while——but then there it is again that THOUGHT: “I’M HERE A AGAIN” and the suffering/ecstasy of ourselves and others, begins all over again.

We can sugar coat our existence any way we want. We can praise the Gods and praise the Gurus and praise WHATEVER…and thennnnnnnnn: You wake up in the morning and there’s that thought again: “HERE I AM” and the world and all it’s misery/joy opens up to you again.

From my perspective NOTHING WORKS. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKS. All the yagyas, all the kriyas, all the pujas, all the positive crap, all the prayers, all the hopes. NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING MAKES LIFE GO YOUR WAY, UNLESS IT HAPPENS TO BE GOING YOUR WAY anyway. Bottom line, it’s NOT YOUR LILA. It’s THE LILA.

Check out your greatest Saints and all their powers. Ramana Maharishi, Jesus, whomever….NOT ONE OF THEM could bring peace on earth with all their prayers, and siddhis and “high vibrations”. They died, did what they did, continue to do what they do without their bodies and STILL LIFE IS SUFFERING/BLISS – Together.

Try it yourself. Listen to some bhajans before you go to sleep, feel the bliss. Wake up and then your world begins with: ‘Here I am again and you’re still in bliss. Then you get the phone call that your son was just killed, or you’re losing your house, or the doctor calls you in for more test, or you even get the flue – and NOW, life is SUFFERING again.

All this new age Yapping about how life is a CELEBRATION, ONE CONSTANT HAPPY BLISSFUL MOMENT is completely ridiculous, just words. Yes! Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t and most of the time it isn’t.

LIFE IS WHAT IT IS – and our best bet is to continue our spiritual programs and WONDER AT THE MYSTERY and VAST enigma OF IT ALL….cause honestly, it’s ASTOUNDINGLY, miraculously CRAZY FROM ANY PERSPECTIVE – HERE & NOW IN THE PRESENT MOMENT.

🙂

easier said than done

What is so hard about continuing what you’re doing anyway? You do what you do anyway, so what is the problem HERE? DO your program and do what you do! without all these “whys”! What is so Frickin’ hard about that?

you are right until it is done none will understand, so u must do cos it must be done

You said is Dvorahji! Always sixer is yours in the cricket of AOL!

Shut UP & Be Happy MEANS – Go inside (do your program) and be Happy (accept life as it comes up)!

There are a trillion answers to all these “why & how questions that contstantly come up when we don’t accept our life as it shows up. AND each answer leads to more unsatisfying answers. Turns into al big brain MESS.

Maharishi would say:
SEE THE JOB
DO THE JOB
STAY OUT OF THE MISERY
(The BS of your mind of course)

so true!

Yes!
Dvorahji, you can not say that the exercises doesnt work or Kryia , or mediation.
Yes some how everything has is owen imperfections like everything else.
Yet they have some perfections, and the effort on doing the exercises or kryia or the meditation, brings or help to bring the ”perfection” or some perfections on his or her owen lifes.

Yes! Should up and Be Happy.
Thanks for such a beautiful conversation.

Erjet 🙂

p.s. :Very nice of you!! 

yes, thank you. I am present I just forget sometimes! Here NOW………and—– NOW—— and——- NOW! ♥ ♥ ♥

@Erjet…is not that practices don’t work…..anything can work and does actually…….It’s just that NOTHING WORKS PERMANENTLY. EVERYTHING COMES & GOES.
Only your NATURE does NOT come & go. THAT IS.

perfection is an illusion/ever changing. And it comes & goes like everything else. (that doesn’t mean y
ou don’t strive for it, like people strive to do a perfect tennis game) but perfection is fleeting like EVERYTHING ELSE.

LOVE IT! 😀

Wow is NOw.
