Famous Five Senses - For Navigation or Gratification ?

The Famous Five Senses --> A Beautiful Mind --> A Discriminating Intellect --> An Energy consuming but very Fragile Ego -->The Calm Visionary Wisdom --> Soulful Silent Stillness, is the centralising ladder pattern that climbs its way to the top - the Source of Universe, is also the upside-down Timeless Tree (Kalp-Vrakhsha) of Life with its trunk & then roots rooting up in Cosmos. 

Aware of the basic design of this imperceptible Tree of Life, you shall diligently climb the fragile shoots of this inverted tree upwards-inwards but only if you are powered by a disciplined unification of 5 energetic senses, providing you with an unparalleled gravity defying force shepherding you back to the source of your existence; thus you shall escape the deadly design of physical existence, and shall defy the treacherous trap & you shall successfully defeat death to become invincible and an immortal.

Ignorant of the principle of the invisible Tree of Life, you shall pursue downwards the scattered slim shoots of senses downwards into the glittering material oasis of life, to explore, to taste, to explode with the illusionary dangling fruits of painful-pleasures, you suddenly shall loose the grip and slip from the sexy shiny slimy leaves even before you realise, into the abyss of mortality, defeated by design, getting entrapped and savoured by death time and again.

Senses as can be seen in every other species around us, are primarily being deployed very carefully as special sensors/ instruments for safe & timely navigation through this thorny, tricky, thick jungle/ game/ maze of life. Probably they were meant to be harnessed only in such a way, as the 5-when-merged become 6 - the quintessential 'sixth-sense, the intution - the gravity & logic defying perceptions or inputs revealing the grand design'. Disciplined unification of the 5-powerful senses provides us in addition with a safe, strong, sensible sixth sense, that is indeed a very powerful navigation tool.

Senses as can be seen exclusively in one species around us, are forcefully being employed as impatient but powerful horses flying in an auto-pilot  (exploring-gratification mode), beyond any control by an insecure Mind but on the contrary dragging your mind far down, ever discriminated by Intellect, controlled by a fragile Ego with Wisdom deported to exile. These five fragmented faithless horses then become wild, losing the critical sense of direction without their shepherd - the sensible sixth one. Thus, assuming such painful proportions differing in directions, they shall ultimately tear your body-mind apart by fragmenting them, until painful death takes charge after you have been foolishly scattered & stupefied by your own seductive senses. 

Three Potent Practice Points - Da Da Da ... !!!

"Damyata, Datta, Dayadhvam" - To 

1. Be Self Disciplined, 

2. Provide before being asked,

3. Be Compassionate.

When one practices Life with these three tough but potent points as the core guiding principles irrespective of the situations, one manages to successfully escape from the duality of painful pendulous fragmentation of ourselves into physical & spiritual entities - that subjects us to opposites like hurts & pleasures, likes & dislikes, pain & gain, good & bad, sweet & sour, unlike any other species.

Beyond this fragmentation, lies the blissful unification of mind-body-soul that despite being subject to similar diverse forces manages to stay silent, still, calm realising the transient nature of recurring patterns trying to convey something very profound, thus conserving precious energy for something more productive and focused.

Passing Pleasures or Perennial Joy - The Choice is Yours !

To Desire, is to seek supreme soulful satisfaction in our imperfect senses when there is none, mortals like us cannot be permanently pacified by transiently gratifying sensual pursuits & resultant pleasures; but only by the spiritual awareness of what lies subtly inside each of us, when what we seek is only a lasting joyful union with Loveternal !

To Fear, is to be insecure & suspicious of the designs of the Careful Creator, the Unknown, our Source and thus to imprison ourself away from the unchosen but abundant flow of energetic freedom around-inside us, not to realise that we are ultimately destined for an inseparable unity with and the resultant immortality that our Source is.

The fears of limitedness, loneliness, likes-dislikes, unknown - render the limited insecure mind fearful, thus pressurising and constricting its flow of thoughts into seeking more, desiring more, craving for more asap in a realm of transient physicality thus sadly propagating the vicious pattern of pursuits, entrapments and pursuits; is it necessary to struggle ?

The desires born out of panic, out of fear of loneliness, fear of limitedness, fear of likes-dislikes, fear of incompleteness, soon entrap the desirer into seeking the limited due to the limitedness of his generated tiny thoughts; when we are to receive unlimited being born to the abundant unbiased unlimitedness. 

Ironically, in present times the prevalent intense, insecure, fearful desiring patterns buttressed with feeling armed with an illusionary freedom to choose, we inadvertently but painfully and very securely chain our own self with our limited desires, then blame everyone else except our selfishness for the state that we land ourselves into. The self centric beings that we have proudly evolved into, is the reason for the unhappiness that we feel, the emptiness that we palpate, the loneliness in our thoughts and none else. 

To Realise this basic principle of existence, is to feel Life as an effortless endless energy, encompassing eternity...A Lifeternal...!

The College of Life - Professor, Students, Grads & Post-grads...!

The most basic but very critical lesson that Life has to silently offer us comes from Death - a climax of every existing entity, historically humanity at large has been myopically unable to comprehend this simple prevalent principle of the universal existence. Those rare few who have been able to grasp and practice this principle, have constituted the focal beginnings of all the existing Faiths - different preaching methods based on same principle, the college guidelines/ standard operating protocols (SOPs) to pass the exam of Life, conducted by Death.

If we respect the omnipresent, the pure & the unbiased Prof. Death, as a 'Professor in Life'; we as under grads would be successfully able to graduate from the University of Life in the very first attempt. But, if we choose not to, then we shall have to re-sit our tough grad courses/ exam to qualify for the graduation ceremony - which is absolutely inevitable, utmost inflexible & the most certain component of our perceived existence.

And, without a Degree in Death, we cannot Graduate from Life. Yes, post grad admission, definitely does not happen if Prof. Death does not give you a good overall score & a reference based on your term-of-life assessments. 

...Good Luck to Us All...!

Action in a State of Meditation !

To just act with total commitment in our chosen task at hand without thinking any further in that moment, is like being in-action with such a relaxed focus that nothing else matters - thirst, hunger, sleep, comfort, win, loss, gain, pain, time, money, relations, self, others...nothing absolutely nothing. This deed would indeed qualify as being executed in a state of meditation, like being completely absorbed by the powerful present moment - when the task, the deed and the doer just blend inseparably into a single string with time and space.

If after the completion of such an action, some questions sluggishly snake in your head - Did I do it? When did I start?, How did i do it? Wow? and you have few, faint, far-between recollections of the events during the execution of your ensemble engrossment...then you probably would have been there. This feeling is also described by sportsmen, the actors, the writers, the dancers, the speakers as 'The Zone', wherein they just become oblivious of the obvious around them. Such action definitely bears timeless fruits beyond any statistical logic, which are way beyond those born to a thought out action.

So, essentially when you pre-calcuate your actions with logic, you receive fruits equal to or less than calculations - account for some gains lost in neural transactions; But when you just act beyond the limits of thoughts, space and time, you are poised to receive beyond calculus.

When Tremors Erupt Inside - Do we Absorb or Irradiate ?

"The deep but palpable mental pain that none of us were congenitally crippled with or are destined to carry the burden of, but surprisingly we still choose to contagiously inherit it throughout our lives. Now, amidst this mindless pattern we can either choose to explode or implode, both the impacts though being secondary to a similar insult, are essentially violent in nature and still capable of creating contrasting consequences;

While feeling insecure & incomplete, if we choose to explode then  we  dissipate our precious energy that hurts ourselves primarily but immensely and then innumerable others as an irreversible collateral damage for a tiny transient totality. But, whilst feeling insecure & unanswered, if we choose to implode then we can focus the very same energy to shock ourselves out of our cosmetic state of consciousness, hurting only ourselves transiently, but we then discover the amazing cosmic depthlessness of our existence and with it the elusive Answer Bank."
