MINDFULNESS is a state of an intense presence, in the present tense.
It is such a joyful state of existence,
that its exact experience is beyond any form of expression.
that its exact experience is beyond any form of expression.
The closest most of us come to being mindful in our daily lives is quite unknowingly, when someone or we ourselves find ourselves staring into a nothingness in space unaware of times or when we all are fast asleep every night; thoughtlessly. The best of such an experience, is encountered during a dreamless, dense and deep sleep - which only a few of us are blessed to have regularly. This only happens when one can manage to sleep in a state of a complete surrender (detached from the prevailing circumstances in our lives) to the force that actually breathes 'life force' (prana) into & out of, each of us every single moment in night, and makes us arise the next morning; while we are actually highly unaware of its subtle yet powerful and magical presence.
Not all of us who go to sleep every night, awake & arise the very next day.
Each one of us someday surely, will not arise or be awake for another magical day.
This is the only certain & changeless promise that Life has to offer to us.
This is the highest or the only supreme Truth of the entire existence and is obviously worth being aware of or mindful of, in every single breath that we inspire, as most certainly one of them would be the very last of our inspirations, before we finally expire.
Mindfulness, then appears, is a state demonstrated by every single living species and all the magical beauty, every single day, in an animate or inanimate display around us. Amidst which, we still manage to live with a mind-full of chaotic, cluttered, insecure, random, unregulated thoughts, ignoring the obvious message, so subtly/ secretly yet beautifully displayed.
Probably, every single existence (skies, earths, oceans, glaciers, mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, animals, reptiles, birds etc.) in its natural state, is so self-situated (Swastha - Sanskrit word for health, meaning - to be situated in one's own self - physically, mentally and spiritually); that to me this now seems to be a subtle but specific demonstration of Life's inherent or default state of existence.
This strikingly then seems to be an indication or a clue/ hint for the entire humanity. We have been so stressfully wandering in this wonderland of existence (Physical Life, Here) trying to seek answers to the unknown, beyond. The answers, I imagine would naturally flow to us, if we just try & seek to re-imbibe the natural state of our own mindful existence, that actually comes as a default setting within our cerebral software, in system-settings.

MEDITATION is a state of intense Mindfulness.
A state, wherein the mind, the body and the soul are undifferentiated.
The UNITY - indivisible, uncompounded, formless.
The UNITY - indivisible, uncompounded, formless.
During meditation all the energy, attention or awareness at the disposal of our beautiful mind, is now focused deeply within & onto the mind itself, by the mind, which eventually has the potential to take us into a infinite realm beyond the thinking mind and that seems to be the precise purpose of experiencing this state.
The state of boundless abundance or freedom, freedom not only from the external bondages, but more significantly from the inner knots of complicated and convoluted thoughts. Freedom from this heavy chain of relentless thoughts, rigid mindsets or dogmas that our minds can subtly but successfully get us trapped into, if this powerful energy available at its disposal, is focused just onto the sheer physicality & in this wonderland of existence, the life Here.
This formless state, probably a source of all the creations;
also seems to be a destiny, that the entire manifest and un-manifest existence Here, all share.

"The light of Lord flashes in the Lightening;
The light of Lord flashes in our Eyes.
It is the Power of Lord that makes
The Mind to think, desire and will. Therefore,
Use this Power to Meditate on Lord."
The Kena Upanishad (IV.4-6)
