Re: Meditation, Why I do not do it.....anymore


cheerleader:interestedmunda:A rather amusing post about your experience!!

Harryji, if you can't get your heart into it, then you just won't be able to do the real thing.

It's just like anything else for eg. doing ghatka. There are many of the young boys that try and pursue it but they just can't get their mind into it. It's not all about strength and co-ordination but swinging the shastars also involves a great deal of relaxation!!

Just letting your body and shastar go hand in hand whilst keeping a focus but having no emotions get in the way, is this kind of relaxed state, a little similar to what professional dancers do except they let the music or the beat carry them forward.

 

If we can't get our hearts or be fully determined to succeed in any of these kind of activities, then it becomes difficult to near impossible for most.

 

To expect too much from yourself or to expect results with every activity is not a wise way to be moving forward.

We shouldn't ever expect too much or anything rewarding in our daily lives for that matter. If positive results or rewards come then we should be thankful and accept them as bonuses.

This manner of expecting good and rewards only helps to fool and pave way for our own Ego.

 

Remember, every encounter or activity is always an experience in some way. Trying an activity that one is not suited for or is ready for yet is like having an experience that teaches you that it's not your path.

 

It's the way that creator experiences the whole of creation through our very own experiences.
