Mostly Motivational: I have read somewhere the Dalai Lama saying: "Go out of circulation, once in six months!" What he means is to travel out of your city/town/home to break the routine life and connect with Nature. Else the mind in its natural course will set a 'concrete context for life', particularly if you are living in a concrete jungle! If Corona has constrained your travel, alternatively why not pick up a book that expands your worldview to take stock of your life story? Here's a short review of the wise book, "Most and More" from Mahatria Ra, the well-known modern sage. It's a packed-power-punch. Gulp it to strengthen the soul. If a senior trainer and Guru of Gurus in Indianoil like Shri K M Krishnakumar, former Chief HRD Manager, Indianoil-SRO, blesses you with a book-gift, it is only your duty to cherish reading it. And I did. Though I have seen the witty video wisdom of Mahatria Ra, in the WhatsApp world and mostly (rather, more not less,...
Today Neuroscience says that your sense of being 'yourself' is a controlled hallucination generated by your back office brain, sitting inside the bone box between your ears. So, what you call 'I' is ONLY a mere collection of ideas in the gray matter, created and updated on a sustained basis, running a movie of sorts, on 'your' mental screen. And people around you have similar movies of yourself (even as they are continuously manufacturing their own person'hoods') as you appear in their screens, when one of their five antennas (visual-auditory-olfactory-taste-kinesthetic or thought-factory inputs), gives as an information, to their processors! So, coming back to where we started, who are YOU? Better closer, WHO AM I? Effects of my currently being read (second time) book, a modern spiritual classic... Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, titled, "I AM" That! This..that...or ther other?😇
'Experience' is God: Corona is God. Ask me why? Not even Religions and Masters could make us self-aware suddenly as we are today. If remaining conscious ever is the ultimate panacea for humanity’s ills, this little virus has given it to us on a platter. Whether cloistered or quarantined, if you want a visual tour of the mighty Himalayas, here’s a book by Swami Rama, “Living with the Himalayan Masters”, packed with wisdom, adventure and experiential learning encounters. In these times of travail, a dose of Indian Spirituality is apt. Take a dip in to the ice waters of the Ganges. A short review of the ‘autobiography of the yogi’ is attached for your week-end sojourn with Swami. -J Jeyes www.jeyes.in The Corona God has made us cavemen. After over one lakh years. Like the monkeys which dreaded jumping from their safe trees into the Savanna risking lives, we now look left and right to ensure that the time is right to venture out of our homes. Driving the entire humanity...
