Art of living day 3

Day 3 - Art of Living Part One Sky video is played. Then kriya again. We automatically take responsibility for everything we feel we belong to. To grow in life we need belongingness. We need to take more responsibility to grow. With great power comes great responsibility. What is responsibily? Means your ability to respond to every moment to make things better than the way you find it. What can i do to make things better! What are you doing right now to bring harmony to the moment. That is responsibility.  Whether you take responsibility, everything around you is affecting you, action or inaction either way affects you. When we take responsibility either we succeed or fail. When we fail the mind blame others and situations. Blaming drains energy. You become weak. You empower yourself. Take responsibility of your action or inaction. Don't see intentions behind other people's mistakes. No one plans to make a mistake. Moon affects the human. Full moon affects the water balance in the human. Lunar/ lunatic. High water tide raises the emotions in the body, we are 70% water. Dont eat green veges onfull moon. Green veges are90% water. The biz of astrology thrives on fear.  Astrology is about the wonder of creation.  Truth is in the unseen, not in the seen. People don't know better, if they did they would have already done it. Before you forgive yourself, forgive others. Not for their sake, for your sake. Whatever is due to you is delivered by people when its due to you at that moment in time. Karma is always delivered on time. Whatever is due for you. You educate and then ignore. No expectations.  Be like buddha, the embodiment of compassion. When someone makes a mistake your reaction to that mistake takes away the learning from them. What thousand words cannot convey one glance will ;What thousand glances cannot convey one smile will. Forget the past, in this present moment everyone is innocent. Your primary respinsibilty is to protect your own mind. Shouting at some is showing you are shouting at ignorance. Doesn't matter how you get there. Just get there. Whenever you complain its you not taking resposnsibility Sign of enlightment is no complaints, no blames, and no excuses. No one wants disturbances but all wants peace. You cannot get one without the others. Head and tails are a coin. One cannot go without the other. If you were always peaceful you wouldn't know what peace is. Joy and sorrow complement each others existence. Life is moving from one perfection to another. All inperfections are perfected thru the opposites in life. All opposite values are complimentary. Wisdom is to see that every opposite is complimentary to you. All bad is gonna compliment you later in life. Life only progresses. Say yes to all the opposites. It can only lead you up! Its the opposites that makes your intelligence work Say yes to the opposite. You'll have something to do in life.  It is an essential element to your own growth. Let it be. Don't judge. EGO: what is EGO to you? "Self praise, personality, masking self, not accepting wrong, self respect, not taking responsibility, thinking you are somebody, wanting to impress others" - group thoughts. Saying i'm stupid, i'm fat, i'm dumb, this is also ego. Fools have bigger ego than the wise. They'll never say they have an ego.  Ego is simply a sense of separation from the other. Opposite of ego is being natural. Whereever you are, whoever you are be yourself. Be like a 4 year old. No ego. Stay in the present, natural state. No barriers. Be at ease. We never doubt the negative, but not the positive. Ego has 2 elements. Inferiority complex and superiority complex. We live an unnatural life cause of people's perception. We live life how others want us to live. Shyness, embarrasment, nervous - all ego. When you are not at ease that is ego. Be at ease. Always wherever you are, whenever you are. The opposite of ego is being natural.  We don't to be a football of other people's opinion. That is ego. People keeps pressing our buttons and make us behave how they want us to behave. Buttons are just praise and criticisms. When you become unaffected by both then you are centred, until then we are just a football of people's opinion. Every opinion is very temporary. The nature of opinion is short lived. There are too many opinions. Don't need it. Then you are living your own life. Homework: 1. Where are you? I am nowhere.  2. What are you? I am nothing.  3. Who are you? I am no one.
