Different Frames!

Dear Sabitha,

With the day starting with difficulty logging into IL, your snippet is like ventilator for a COVID-19 patient who has breathing difficulty. I am going to be brief in my response because I can post only from my phone.

Whenever we are unable to track where Orion is, we used to ring the door bell and he used to bark and run towards the main door. I can relate so well with Tobie’s mindset.

We can let our mind go as far as where the rope in cow’s neck would reach. However, it should always be centered at the Self. Every action we make should be to strengthen the Self. You have articulated it so well.

 

Dear Sabitha,

There is always a center for the circle whether it is a circle of influence or otherwise. That center should be filled with principles and values. Our mind wanders around and tries to satisfy the senses of organs and perceptions without any success. Once our mind is subordinated to the principles and values rooted to our core which is actually the inherent nature of every human being as opposed to the nature developed by the mind through Vasanas, We begin to see the light of divine existence. The mind is like a pendulum that moves forward and backward with every relationship and it passes through what should be its original state of equilibrium at least twice during those moments. One should watch that pendulum swing experiencing the place of equilibrium.

One pointedness, equanimity and balancing the attraction and repulsion are three essential ingredients for a peaceful life. Yoga and meditation develop these three important traits.

 

LOL, Sabitha, you really brought a grin to my face with that! Toby! Give him a huge hug on my behalf.

 

@Srama
Absolute delight. That is the way one could express the pleasure of reading this post.
I liked the Tobe’s mind set in those first two paragraphs. I believe he has understood that something amiss around the neighbourhood and hence all members of family indoors locked up all the day and night. Orion of @Viswamitra too must be in the same boat.

That’s quite a scene.

I enjoyed your description of tobe’s dilemma.
watching you doing yoga, Tobe too would probably imitate by standing on its hind legs.

That is a complex situation .

Life Is A Balance Between Holding On And Letting Go – Rumi

Humans (mind) oscillate constantly from moving to steadiness or stableness or to create balance from imbalance.
Thanks and Regards.
