Kids

Watch them.Closely.No one can be better than a kid for being at present.
As they grow , at times they are watching the spinning toy above the cradle , at times they are mimicking a cat , at times they are spiderman or superman killing bad guys , at times hiding from mother with unique chill sensation in the heart , at times as they play cricket they are all little Sachin or Kohli or Dhoni.They give their best at that moment and nothing else in the world existed that time.
If they are upset , or scolded by elders , still then they cry in such a way , nothing is more important than their grief.Next moment .. the magic happens , they forget and again play as nothing is more important.

It is his nature not to think about future. This is mindfulness , this is meditation.

Elders think Meditation is always about closing eyes and breathing most secret way !.. , and they also think kids needs to practice meditation daily for better future life.Where the truth is , it is the elders misfortune that they have lost their natural quality by the help of their parents and the way society demands. And so they think (as they are always right) they need to make kids obey as they grow into elders and make them similar
as themselves and one day that kid in future will be bound to go to meditation class to recover natural quality!OR maybe joining evening laughing club!

Do not teach kids.Learn from them.Sanatan thought of this land is kids are god.Little Krishna or Laxmi.

I know few of you must be thinking what I am saying! Haven't I experienced naughty kids !They are so annoying .. they can not be stopped! They do not obey their parents , destroy things in relatives home!
But with all due respect to all parents , I must say if they are not exposed to unnatural things , vulgar dancing , vulgar words , did not experienced disobedience of their parents for their grandparents , they are not going to be like that.In short , if the elders prefer lungi dance , their life will be like lungi dance , so their kids.

Let them have a tree as pet.

Education is not teaching them how to feed on informations.Education comes from within.The seed is there. Please let it grow.

I miss my village home so much.The nature was so close.I can still see the mango I was putting into bamboo bucket at night after a storm with my grandmother , Later enjoying that with rice and milk.I can not give that to my son.I will not either cage him with my beliefs and ever-changing social demands.

We all are born free as the fragments of supreme consciousness.Kids need to experience this as they grow up.Not Ramayana , Not Gita , Not any heavy scriptures ...... They need to experience themselves as they are.After that if they indulge in scriptures it is their choice.Krishna Himself gave the hint.

Gita
Chapter 15 , 1st sloka :

Shri Bhagavan Uvacha

urdhva-mulam adhah-sakham
asvattham prahur avyayam
chandamsi yasya parnani
yas tam veda sa veda-vit


There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas.

This is Human body, Brains as roots .. sense organs are the only way to interact in this creation and gather knowledge.Human nervous system is a unique proof (other than experience).One having human form must try to know this.This is the only knowledge that will complete every thirst.Reading Veda is have no use.Breathing Veda is what we need.

Human is not Intelligent of all life forms in the world , Human is capable of maximum intelligence in the world.Human start this journey as most intelligent one as kid and ends up a mess hardened by few principles and beliefs , and when curtains are down , they cry to live. There are so many Insurance business is out there today only for our fear of loosing is so high ! No kid and animal complaints ,they play with a broken leg too ! only elder human complaints!

It is time to learn from kids.The guru is at home in your krishna or Laxmi.

Om Namaha Shivaya.

Asthavakra Gita Part 9

Detachment



Ashtavakra said:

Opposing forces,duties done and left undone
—when does it end and for whom?
Considering this, be ever desireless,let go of all things,and
to the world turn an indifferent eye.

Rare and blessed is one whose desire to live,
to enjoy and to know, has been extinguished by observing
the ways of men.

Seeing all things as threefold suffering,the sage becomes still.
Insubstantial, transient,contemptible -- the world
is fit only for rejection.

Was there an age or time men existed without opposites?
Leave the opposites behind.Be content with what comes.
Perfection.

The greatest seers, saints and yogis agree on very little.
Seeing this,who could not be indifferent to knowledge
and become still ?

One who through worldly indifference,through serenity and reason,
sees his true nature and escapes illusion —is he not a true teacher?

In the myriad forms of the universe see the primal element alone.
You will be instantly free,and abide in Self.

Desire creates the world --renounce it.Renounce desires
and you renounce the world.

Now you may live as you are.

Asthavakra Gita Part 8

Bondage and Liberation

Ashtavakra said:

When the mind desires or grieves things,accepts or rejects things,

is pleased or displeased by things--this is bondage.

When the mind does not desire or grieve,accept or reject,

become pleased or displeased,liberation is at hand.

If the mind is attached to any experience,this is bondage.

When the mind is detached from all experience,this is liberation.

When there is no “I” there is only liberation. When “I” appears

bondage appears with it.Knowing this,it is effortless to refrain

from accepting and rejecting.

Asthavakra Gita Part 7

Nature of Self-Realization


Janaka said:

In me, the shoreless ocean, the ark of universe
drifts here and there on the winds of its nature.
I am not impatient.

In me, the shoreless ocean, let the waves of the universe
rise and fall as they will.I am neither enhanced nor diminished.

In me, the shoreless ocean,the universe is imagined.
I am still and formless.In this alone I abide.

The Self is not in objects,nor are objects in the pure and infinite Self.
The Self is tranquil,free of attachment and desire.
In this alone I abide.

I am Awareness alone. The world is passing show.
How can thoughts arise of acceptance or rejection?
And where?

Asthavakra Gita Part 6

The Higher Knowledge

Janaka said:

I am infinite space; the universe is a jar.
  This I know. No need to renounce, accept or destroy.

I am a shoreless ocean; the universe makes waves.This I know.
  No need to renounce, accept or destroy.

I am mother-of–pearl; the universe is the illusion of silver.
  This I know. No need to renounce, accept or destroy.

I am in all beings; all beings are in me.
  This I know.No need to renounce, accept or destroy.
