Wondering at the impermanence of life! Seeing how the mind needs ‘something’ to stick itself to?
And for this impermanent life, we want everything else to be so permanent…situations, emotions, relationships ...the works. It’s so funny that people run behind everything that their mind makes them run after!! Yet how dispassionately the spirit disassociates itself with matter, never to return with the same name and form …maybe, yes in that sense you only get ‘one‘ life.
In the broader perspective, life goes on; life is eternal…just with another name and form. Like H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji says “you are floating in an ocean of life”.
It reminds me of the wet sand on the shore. By walking over it, we create the foots prints.
Isn’t it similar to our mind storing impressions? And then when the ocean comes in form of a wave, how it washes the shore clean. Isn’t meditation just like that wave of the ocean?
H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji says “Meditation is dropping the body, before it drops you”.
Though the beach is a big stretch, yet only the sand adjoining the ocean get “cleared” of the imprints!
Meditation makes you new all over again, so fresh!
The ocean is inviting…
