While meditating
we are meant to be in the present
not that we are not supposed to be in the present in general : )
during meditation
this is our truest state
we are in the present
because we give up our mind and heart to the cool breeze
it is like you are sitting in a boat
the boat is on the river
and you put your hand in its water
while the boat keeps moving
your hands feel and experiment the coolness of the river
likewise you do not do any effort in the meditation
except to feel the cool breeze
and literally speaking
you put your heart and mind into the cool waters
by surrendering to the cool sensations
and remember the cool breeze is free
it is the power of God that has stabilised that which was chaos
and put order where things were inordinate
so much for the creation
can a single individuality like you could be more burdensome than the whole of creation that you now witness in its perfected state?
what is belief in God, if you do not believe in what He can do for you?
in the present, what is He asking from you ?
whoever you be and whatever your religion or philosophy be?
it is to surrender to this very power of Grace which works for you
to bring you were the rest of the perfected creation is brought day by day.
you can only so much surrender
according to your trust in Him
if you trust then you grasp the present
grasping the present
is not wishing for a past scene or a future one to come
though they be really pretty to consider
for in the present you are
and if you are honest to it
the really beginning of staying ever after in the present
is to surrender to that present state
and what that present state is except to enter the gate of that which is free like air?
and yes, trust in Him, can never be experienced EXCEPT in the present : ))
this is WHY it is only the present that is asked of you
to surrender to the present.
we are with those we love
if we love ourselves, we love freedom for ourselves
freedom from being jammed into life
due to our thoughts
thoughts can go only so far
they bring you delightfully to very far and unexplored places
but then, they let you there, you are stuck
imagine how many thoughts emanating from you
and keep clashing with each others and making knots
how can you at the end be on a motorway and just trace your route,
if you are caught up into a traffic jam?
yet, when you lit a light bulb
light emanates from it
it just let go of what it holds Inside
when the filament is being heated
and
light emanates
Inside out it goes like this
this is how one radiates.
