My

Welcome to the world of “My”, we are very much cautious to our belongings, we like our things very much. We like them so much that we think they are for ours and ours only. The world is changing now; in west our things are valued very much because they are bought by us. Don’t you think we value our things a bit too much, e.g. my wife, my life, my things like my laptop, my house, my bike, my car, my wallet, my furniture’s etc. Why do we value our things so much? We value our things are we think they will remain there forever with us because we work hard to buy them and after buying them we think they are only useful and for us. What I think is, we are too much into this. Let me take you to the beginning, well, we were born single- any doubt? Probably not! We are going to die single. Hopefully this is universal truth, now why do we think the things in this world are ours. Did they come with you when you were born? Did these things will go together with you? Do you believe that these are living for ever and you are living in this world forever? Think about the paragraphs and then think about the word or characters made of two letters “M” and “Y”. The word cannot be changed the meaning is only one. M=me and Y=you. It can be interpreted as M can refer to the self and Y can be you or the things or your wife for e.g. why do we believe that our wife is our alone? Girls are very unpredictable; they also don’t know what is going on in their own mind. Your girl friend cannot be yours then how come the things you bought can be yours? It is our natural way of living a life, once we become mature and start living a life-we tend to forget things. The things that are very natural and those are universal. There is always a need for someone who can tell these things are remind you that there is something very powerful and which is beyond our imaginations. That is no super human; no special Robert but Nature and nature balances everything for its own existence. We should rather think these things and live a life for just one single day. Imagine a living a life for a single day! Don’t get panic. Take it easy. None of the things you have are yours and they will never be yours. You are living in a virtual world. The virtual world will not teach you the real meaning of life. The real existence of human beings and the real way of living like a humans. Today we are very much into virtual world; In future tomorrow we will surely become virtual humans. Since I myself live a life for a day- I do not know whether I will exist tomorrow or not but if you will exist please be natural and live a life of humans rather than being proud of yourself of calling that you are human but internally you are not.

You

Some times I am so worried about you that I could not keep my mind steady. I am really worried about you thinking what you might be doing at this time. I do not know what is this ? I think if you will be remembering the way I am remembering you. I think those golden days when we were together. Why can't we be together again ? There are lots of factor which come in between I hope you understand this. I Pray to God that you will be there until I come back, I Pray to God that you will be the same person and you will not change. you will remain as I left you. How can I tolerate myself if you will change ? How will I feel if you will gone ? Am I worried about the failure or am I really worried that you will leave me ? I don't know what is this. Life is a journey and is very difficult to take this journey single. No one likes to travel this journey alone. Every one need some one who can care each other through this journey. It is a responsibility of both people in journey to take care of them and handle the situation with due care. I am in west part of this globe. people are modernized, developed and highly skillful. I am watching them-learning from them and thinking why are they like that. When I was child I used to think why there is separate country and different people with different color of skin ? Now I am learning , Why is it so. Will you be there ? How would you know how many times I remember you here ? Will we ever meet again ? What happens if I die and could not make it ? Do take care in any circumstances and do not hesitate to fight with anybody. Not physically, but with highly motivated mind. Talk about the women rights, live life the way you want to live. If I could not come then do remember that the words you wanted to listen from my heart would one day come but that day is lost in the calendar. Do assume that that lost day or date. It will give you some kind of hope. Hope will give you motivation to live a life. In case, you would be asked to get married listen to your heart. Whatever you will be doing and whatever you will missing-I will be doing the same here. The factors that had made us apart will one day bring us together. Let's hope and pray. Let's listen to our heart and inner soul. To make promise is easy but to live with that promise is challenging and to make that promise true is most difficult thing in this planet. I will living with the promise I made to you- I hope you doing the same. Nothing can be hidden. you cannot hide anything. Even if you wish to do so you cannot. The first looks on your eyes will tell everything to me. Be careful and I will be too.

Just be yourself

Once my wife Padhmawoti said to me, "Beware of Buddha. If you meet him on the way, kill him immediately". I was surprised by her answer and asked, “What do they mean”? I mean there is a human tendency to become imitators. People are trying to imitate, to become somebody else. Nobody can become a Christ or Buddha. There is no need. Existence will be bored if you become Christ. It wants somebody new, something original. It wants you, and it wants you to be just yourself. I do not know if people know this or not, Just remember you cannot be other than yourself. To be yourself, knowledge is not needed. A rock is a rock. Not that the rock knows that it is a rock. Knowledge is not needed. In fact, it is because of knowledge that you are missing being yourself. Knowledge is creating the problem. The rock is not confused. Knowledge is not needed for being. In fact, you are missing your being because of knowledge. I was reading about a certain man named Uncle Sam: To celebrate Uncle Sam's 75th birthday, an aviation enthusiast offered to take him for a plane ride over the little West Virginia town where he had spent all his life. Uncle Sam accepted the offer. Back on the ground, after circling over the town 20 minutes, he was asked: "Were you scared, Uncle Sam?" "No", was the hesitant answer, "but i never did put my full weight down". In an airplane, whether you put your full weight down or not, the weight is carried by the airplane. Whether you know yourself or not is not the point. Knowledge is disturbing you. Just think if there was a rock also on that airplane with Uncle Sam, the rock would have put the whole weight down. Uncle Sam is unnecessarily worried. He could have rested, he could have relaxed just like the rock, but the rock has no knowledge and Uncle Sam has knowledge. The whole problem of humanity is that humanity knows, and because of knowing, the being is unnecessarily forgotten. When you think of Meditation it means how just to be and not to think. When i say to you to be yourself, i mean meditate. Don't try to be anybody else. You cannot be! You can try, and you can deceive yourself and you can promise yourself and you can hope that someday you will become somebody else, but you cannot become. These are only illusions that you can go on having. These are like day dreams which are not true. They are not going to become realities ever. You will remain yourself whatsoever you do. Why not relax, Uncle Sam! Put your full weight on the airplane. Relax. In relaxation, suddenly you will start enjoying your being, and the effort to be somebody else will stop. That is your worry how to be somebody else, how to be like somebody else, how to become like a Buddha. You can only be yourself. Accept it, rejoice in it, delight in it. The way to live a life is just be yourself, I was satisfied with my wife's discussion on being yourself. So, Ladies and Gentleman “Just be yourself ” !
