Why this Kolaveri Di

The kolaveri bug has bitten the blog as well...Yes, why this murderous rage behind everything. We are all on a rage to get this, get that...Don't have a few minutes to do an introspection. Before we realize the time passes away and there will be a day when we all will have to say good bye to every one. So why this murderous rage now ? Like many said life is in the present moment. If your mind is filled with too many thoughts, cravings and aversions, you are not in the moment and you can not enjoy life to the fullest...So...

Why Yes to What is?

Everyone is saying "acceptance: and "saying Yes to what is" is the path to peace. What is the logic behind saying yes to what is. What happens when you say yes to what is or accept things as they are ?..

When you say yes completely, there ends further thoughts. Not accepting causes more thoughts and more pain. If there are no thoughts, there is no pain. I guess that is why the surrender and the acceptance are given so much importance. If you allow your mind to question, it will keep coming up with more thoughts and each of them prevent you from being peaceful. Is there any other reason to be on complete acceptance or surrender? I don't know. Complete surrender or acceptance is peace. Because without a resisting thought, there is no mental pain. Isn't it look very simple ?

Desires....

Recently I have noticed one thing happening with my desires. I still get many desires, but they don't have the momentum of the past. So desires arise and when they arise the mind wants to do something about it. A few hours later, the desire is gone and mind is free. But it can come again after a few days. In short it is like clouds coming and going in the sky. If you caught up with the desire saying that it is the real you, then you are stuck. Allowing the desire to be there and knowing that it is only a passing thought, you don't act on it. That way you can get out of the desire. The more you see this happening, the more will be your awareness and it is a cycle which help increase your awareness. However if you start acting on the desire or think that it is really the thing that you want, you will get stuck. One thing will lead to another and you will end up in a vicious cycle.

May you have the awareness to see desires as desires and separate from you!!!...
