Finding Happiness !

Happiness is not to be found with many efforts or will,
but is here, nearby, in your relaxing and surrendering.
Don't worry, there is nothing to be done.
Everything that comes up to your mind
has no importance because it has no reality.
Don't conceive any attachment for it.
Don't judge yourself.
Let it be.
Let it come up and down without changing a thing.
It all vanishes and begins again,
endlessly.
Nothing but the quest for happiness
prevents us from seeing it.
It is like a rainbow that
one is always chasing without ever reaching it.
It is because it has no existence.
It has always been here and goes with you all the time.
Don't believe in the reality of experiences,
good or bad.
They are like rainbows.
Because we want to grasp what is not to be grasped,
We exhaust our strength in vain.
As soon as we relinquish our hold, space is here,
open, welcoming & comfortable.
So, do enjoy it.
Everything is yours already.
Stop searching.
Don't go into the jungle to look for the elephant
that is quietly waiting for you at home.
There is nothing to do.
There is nothing to force.
There is nothing to desire.
And all comes by itself.

~Lama Gendun Rimpoche

Seeing It... !!..

"If the Human Body is Obscene, Complain to the manufacturer, Not Me." ~Larry Flynt Long back while watching Discovery Channel. In a Program, I heard them say: "Our Body is Dynamic. Changes every day. Each & Every Day... ! Human Skeleton is COMPLETELY RENEWED every 10 years." *Current Research -- PMID: 8519493, PMID: 597437 [[ Pubmed IDs ]] We say that: (1) His Eyes are intense. (2) Her Smile is good. etc. IS IT FOR ALL? ...ALWAYS?? I'm trying to say that - Its All in the Eyes ! A person lying naked on the bed... can be anyone from a child to someone selling body for money. And EYES can be anything from Saintly Ignorant to Gyenocologist at Work to a Ponce to Sharp Shooter to Fighter Pilot to a Mother [[who feels - and not just See It !]] Some Child [[unable to See beyond some feet !]] to a Blind [[who still can see - WITHOUT EYES !]]... Or may be YOUR OWN EYES ! Well this Human Body as we SEE is not the same for long. Beautiful today, can be Granny tom...

Simple Everyday Thoughts !

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead. One must work and dare if one really wants to live. ~Vincent Van Gogh The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. The reward of a thing well done is having done it. An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. I've failed over...

Love... !!..

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise , the flexibility of the child , the sensitivity of the artist , the understanding of the philosopher , the acceptance of the saint , the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain . ~Leo Buscaglia ++ Perhaps it is good to have a BEAUTIFUL MIND, but an even greater gift is to discover a BEAUTIFUL HEART. ~Beautiful Mind (*Movie) [[ MyWords : Wordless... ! ]]
