Profoundness of LIFE
Sunday 07th September Day 23276
Life is full of infinitesimal moments stitched together.
In reality, every moment is what we pull into our Life. Our past actions, thoughts, words, deeds etc have a cause-and-effect relationship and the ensuing moments are really opportunities to learn and evolve.
It is up to us, our free-will at play, as to what we do with every experience that comes our way.
How can we absorb each experience to its fullest and relish the profoundness of each moment? How can we take a deep scuba dive and not just snorkel / swim at the surface?
We do have our sensory perceptions and we have to make fullest use of these five senses. Beyond these five physical senses, there are ways, very subtle ways, by which we can enhance our perceptions of each moment. How do we make our internal energy system so very intense that we are able to sense everything to its fullest? How do we keep our own antenna, our meru-dhand, our spinal column attuned to the frequencies around us? How do we obliterate the distinction between the self and the surroundings? Be in perfect alignment with everything around us. See things as they truly are and not with the lenses of our perception coloured by our past experiences.
People use the terms like “live every moment”, “be in the zone” etc. But in reality one can only be in the moment.
You may remember the past and imagine the future, but you can really BE only in the present.
Whether one is savouring a dish, or enjoying an orchestra or opera, or any real-life moment, we can work upon ensuring that we are totally immersed into that experience. Bringing utmost one-pointed focus to the moment. Not allowing any distractions from the mind and the body. Ekagratha. No multi-tasking. No judgement. Just absorption.
Knowing fully well that this moment is Anicca….impermanent…..every moment is truly momentary.
In today’s fast paced world, our mind and body are buffeted by numerous distractions and stimuli. Learning the art of single-pointed focus is what will help us give complete single-pointed focus. Ekagratha.
Recognising that “I am not the Body, I am not the Mind”, allowing us to tap into our true self at our deepest core. Practicing the art and science of meditativeness helps us maintain and enhance our single pointed focus. And then “responding” to every moment with fullest consciousness and zero compulsions.
A life lived well would mean a life lived with the richest profoundness of each experience. The metric is not of wealth, fame, popularity etc. The true metric is how profound has your life been in totality?
Yoga is just that….a union of the self with the rest of the cosmos. Eliminating the boundary that we create between self and rest. It is the same universal life energy that throbs within us as praana as is there in every being around us….be it germ, insect, bird, animal or human.
Incorporating relevant practices into our daily routine, we can constantly work upon enhancing our alignment with the universal energy around us. Thereby enhancing the profoundness of each moment of our Life.
Live Life To The Maximum!
