Life is a Helix

Life has got infinite aspects. One of it is to view it as a helix. During my childhood, I thought life was like a circle. Everything happens in cycles. Sun, moon, seasons, birth and death, etc.. But then I understood that, even though events happens in cycles, we are progressing during each cycle. We are

not the same person as were during the last Onam. We have changed. Then I understood that its rather like a helix than like a circle. Even during the cycle, there is a translation motion which we call as growth. We see things in a totally different perception. Some of the right things might turn into wrong and vice versa. We might evolve a bit more. And that is what is life for...

Everything is Right..viz. Everything is Wrong..

It depends on where you stand and see things.For any action, there may be some good consequence and some bad consequence. Some actions may have more good consequence and less bad consequences. Its all relative. But above all, there is an absolute truth, which is above all these consequences, neither good nor bad, beyond time and space. Hold on to it and don't cling too much on ever changing happenings of the world.

Love, Trust -> Gratitude

Life is amazing if seen in its true sense.If you open up for life to existence, it will take you for a roller coster ride.All your negativities will stare straight into your eyes one by one. You can do nothing but put yourself in auto-pilot system - the trust or surrender and you can feel the lightness in your being and experience how the existance will take you through it, teach you the ultimate truths..take you out of it so gracefully that will make you experience the higher levels of luv. Once you come out of it, you will settle in a sense called gatitude

Inspiration

You have tried many times not to be angry, you have decided so many times, but still it happens. you have tried not to be greedy, but again and again you fall into the trap.You have tried all kinds of things to change yourself, but nothing seems ever to happen.you remain the same.

And here I am saying that there is a simple key-awareness. You cannot believe it. How can awareness, just awareness, help when nothing else has been of any help?Keys are always very small;keys are not big things. A small key can open a big lock.

When people would ask Budha, " What should we do not to be angry, or what should we do not to be greedy, or what should we do not to be so much obsessed with  sex or food?" his answer was always same. be aware. Bring awareness to your life.

 His disciple Ananda, listening again and again to every kind of person- different problems, but the prescription of the physician remains the same-became puzzled. He said, "what is the matter with you? They bring different kinds of illness-somebody brings greed and somebody  sex and somebody food and somebody something else- but your prescription remains the same."

And Budha said, "Their illness are different-just as people can dream different dreams". If two thousand people falls asleep, they will have two thousand dreams. But if you come to me and ask how to get rid of this dream , the medicine will remain the same; wake up!Its not going to be different; the prescription is going to be the same. You can call it awareness, you can call it witnessing, you can call it remembering, you can call it meditation - these are different names for the same medicine
