Don’t turn love into relationship

Love comes like a strong breeze and carries away two lovers to unknown dimensions. Lovers go through an experience peak and then need to settle down. In the process, they start feeling bored, craving the same peak yet again and again. When they don”t reach it, they feel frustrated and fall into the ditch of misery. 

Peaks in love are experienced when lovers open their wings to fly high into the sky together. There”s a whole sky of freedom and togetherness that they feel in each other”s company. But the moment they start clinging to each other and suppress freedom, love falls into an abysmal valley of misery. Then they wonder what happened to their love! The clinging starts clipping their wings, killing their love.

True love is unconditional, and based on an individual”s freedom. Two persons can be very loving together. The more loving they are, the lower the possibility of any relationship. The more loving they are, the greater the freedom between them. The more loving they are, the thinner the prospect of any demand, domination, expectation. Naturally then, there is no question of frustration.

Remember this: Don”t have any expectations. Love because love is your own inner growth. When you love, you call your spring of growth closer. Your love will help you grow towards more light, more truth, more freedom. Love but don”t ever create a relationship! 

A relationship is a part of the business world. A slight change in the situation, and it evaporates. It has no solidity. If love comes spontaneously, suddenly, like a fountain, asking for nothing in return, then it is one of the greatest treasures. Love is a fire. The purer it is, the better it burns all riddles, all problems. But love as a relationship creates problems, riddled with all sorts of undesirable things.

Remember this: Love is capable of destroying everything else, just don”t let it become a relationship. If you do, love will disappear and in its place will come politics and manipulation. Then, your problems will only increase. 

Osho says: “I am against all kinds of relationships. For example, I don”t like the word “friendship” but I love the word “friendliness”. Friendliness is a quality within you; friendship becomes a burdensome relationship.”  

Osho elaborates: “Friendship is a relationship. You can be in that relationship with a few people. Friendliness is a quality, not a relationship. It has nothing to do with anybody else. It is basically your inner quality. You can be friendly with many, many people. You can be friendly even when you are alone. You cannot be in friendship when you are alone-the other is needed-but friendliness is a kind of fragrance. A flower blooms; nobody passes by, yet it is fragrant. It matters not whether anyone comes to know of it; being fragrant is its quality.” 

A few thoughts

Somebody once asked God!

“What surprises you most about Mankind???”

God replied…..

They lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.

By thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present…such that they live neither for the present nor for the future.

They live as if they will never die and they die as if they had never lived…

In School you get the lesson first and then take the test.

In life you take the test first and then get the lesson.

Soul cannot exist when our connections in life remain superficial. An experience of soul requires that we take time to be fully present to the details of our lives. Explore what happens when you take the time to stop and pay attention. When we choose to slow down and really experience the qualities of our lives, we get a whole new perspective of what living’s all about. (H.G.Wells)

The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in ones life. (Dalai Lama)

God is always playing chess with us. He makes the move in our life and then sits back to see how we react to the CHALLENGES in LIFE. So make the best move.

In the rhythm of life we sometimes find ourselves out of tune, but as long as there are friends to provide the melody-.. the music goes on_..

A boy cried when he had no shoes,
suddenly he stopped crying when he saw a man without legs. Life is full of blessing..sometimes we dont understand it.

Tomorrow never dies

Life is journey of millennia, which knows no destination, except mystery. There”s awesome silence soaring deep down until one fine day some of us realize that we are getting attracted to some beautiful stranger. And all our saved up wishes starts coming out. Our eyes looks brighter in the presence of that beautiful stranger.

 

We have decided that we want to spend the rest of our life with them and not knowing whether they would be spending it with us or not.

 

So every one of us are not lucky every time. But we should appreciate the feelings of the other person even we cant reciprocate to them in the similar manner.

 

“Gravity is not responsible of people to fall in love.. it just happens” and when it does happen don”t wait for the right time to express.. 
because right time is when your heart beats faster.. If you love someone don”t wait for tomorrow.. or for the other person to make the move..agreed “tomorrow never dies”.. but also remember.. “tomorrow never comes . . . ” 
(Trust me, don”t be late . . .)

DON'T GIVE UP

Don't give up.............
One day I DECIDED to quit........
I quit my job, my relationship, my friendship, my spirituality.....  I wanted to quit my my life. I WENT TO THE woods to have one last talk with GOD.
"God",I asked , " Can you give me one good reason not to quit ?"
His answer surprised me .....
"Look around",He said ." Do you see the fen and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I  planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took VERY GOOD CARE OF THEM.I gave them light 
I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In s the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed . But I did not quit on the bamboo.
He said, "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant....But just 6 months later
later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." He asked me." Did you know , my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you." "Don't  compare yourself to others".
He said. " The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come " , God said to me. "You will rise high" "How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise ?" He asked in return. " As high as it can? "  I questioned."Yes". He said , " Give me glory by rising as high as you can".
I left the forest and brought back this story.


I HOPE THESE WORDS CAN HELP YOU SEE THAT GOD WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP.


Heavens doors opened this morning, God asked me....My CHILD.... what can i do for you? " and I said . "daddy please protect and blesss the one reading this message. GOD smiled and answered...." REQUEST GRANTED.........

Working Smarter

Working on the basis of your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement.

Once upon a time, a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race.

They agreed on a route and set off. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he fell asleep under a tree.

The tortoise overtook the hare and soon finished the race , emerging as winner. The hare woke up and realised that he had lost the race. 

Moral 1: Slow and steady wins the race.

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some thinking. He realised that he had lost the race only because he had been over-confident, careless and lazy. If he had not taken things for granted, the tortoise could not have beaten him. So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.

This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles. Moral 2: Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. It”s good to be slow and steady, but it”s better to be fast and consistent.

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realised that there”s no way he could beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted. He thought for a while and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. The hare agreed.

They started off , in keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a river. The finishing line was a couple of kilometres on the other side of the river. The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime, the tortoise got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking, and finished the race.

Unhappy People Convince You To Be Miserable

Satsang by Swami Sukhabodhananda

How can i get inspired? My boss heaps abuse on me daily.

One can give only from what one has. When you understand this, you will be kind. You cannot expect a scorpion to kiss you. People around, with their hurt bodies, create pain for others. Their minds are so noisy that they create noise. Quite often, we hold on to the pain for a week, a month and create a hurt body in us. We cannot shake it loose from our memory. The hurt body starts eating our joy. It starts reliving the experience of abuse and creates a mountain out of a molehill. We have a choice to nurture abuse within us, reliving those moments or we can simply shake it off and move on.

Why do we suffer pain by recreating it moment to moment? Thought creates energy. If thought is negative, then energy is negative and that creates pain. A hurt body looks at the world through pain. A hurt body will try its best to sustain pain. It is a matter of survival. So, it loves to attract pain and sustain pain. It will use logic to protect it. Look at unhappy people. They will convince you to be miserable. All that you can do is to create a bliss body in you. There are five layers in you: the physical body, the pranic body, the breath body, the mental body, the intellectual body and the bliss body.

All these layers in us have energies. It is in potential form. Just as there is latent fire in wood and by rubbing the wood it is invoked. In the same way you have to awaken the physical body through exercise, yoga, dance and a balanced diet. Keep the body alive and enthusiastic. You will then kindle a happy energy through the body. The pranic or breath body has to be awakened. Breathe deeply by doing pranayama and find a different kind of joy surfacing in you. Shallow breathing creates lower energy field while deep breathing enhances one's aliveness. The mental body can be awakened if you keep your mind calm. A calm mind has a different joy; a noisy mind is an avenue for energy leakage. When your intellect is open and receptive, yet another dimension of blissful energy arises. One who is open and receptive is always learning. In deep sleep, the bliss body opens up naturally. In the waking state, if one is committed to be happy and learns to look at life as a celebration, the bliss centre will be awakened. 

Could opening these five bodies help improve a marital relationship?

If we are depleted, there is leakage of energy. We then try to draw energy from our partner. Each one starts sapping the other's energy and we become dependent on the other. Both feel miserable. When there is resistance to restriction of freedom, the partner feels rejected and dejected. You wait to settle scores at the opportune time. There is a war of roses.

However, if you have tapped all the five layers within you, you will overflow with joy. You will not sap the energy of the other as you are overflowing. You will not be dependent on the other but you can learn to be interdependent, there is a sense of belonging. The relationship will reach new heights when you open your body, prana, mind, intellect, bliss centres.

Balance Your Life

Balance Your Life

Imagine life as a game 
In which you are juggling some 5 balls in the air. 
You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit. 
And you are keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. 
If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four balls - 
Family, friends, health and spirit are made of glass. 
If you drop one of these, 
They will be irrevocably scuffed or damaged or even shattered. 
They will be never the same.

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
