it does not know otherwise

Because the heart does not participate in the stories and dramas the mind continues to weave, it remains pure and innocent and vaster than anything you can ever imagine – it holds eternity inside itself and can see and feel with more clarity and precision. it has the capacity to simply see the present reality without judgment or blame, without interpretation or distortion- it can love without doubt or fear because it does not know otherwise.

heartbrokenness

heart brokenness, anger, confusion ---- take over when what has just happened is not what you’ve expected - the heart is broken when there is no flexibility, when you already decide how things should be – heartbrokenness is not the breaking of the heart itself – it is a pain in the physical body caused by our thoughts. the awakened heart is very compassionate but it does not break anymore.

your being

when something in your life goes terribly wrong, say, you lose your voice one day before your speaking engagement or someone very close to your heart dies on your wedding day --- it is normal for the mind to freak out. if you kindly look inside, nothing actually went wrong. only something happened that is not in your mind, something that you are not ready for. most things in this world are relative.

honey in your heart

in human nature there is endless curiosity to go out and study the world – to cross the deserts and hike the mountains and dive into deep forests --- and yet after all these adventures there is still restlessness and dissatisfaction and the feeling of loneliness --- This is just because you have not yet dived into yourself to experience the garden within you. You have not yet noticed the honey in your heart waiting to be tasted and explored and devoured.

on Awakening

A question for a friend goes like this – Sir, I’ve a question for you – In your daily life, how do you interact with people who are not awake? I mean, how do you deal with them? Please share your insight. Once you’re awake, your interest to judge and blame dissolves. You don’t avoid those who are not awake. Awakening is not the absence of sleep. It is the capacity in which all are accepted. In fact being continuously tested and challenged by those who still identify with their mental noise can deepen your awakening. Blessings.

your inner growth

you cannot accelerate your inner growth - You only need to prepare the ground for it. You need to be open and receptive in all dimension of your life and whatever is not true for you must go - it is not enough to to be warm-hearted.
