Art of living day 4
Day 4 - Art of Living Part One Course
Stopping thoughts: shock, singing, meditation.
Dreams and meditation are the 2 ways the mind releases its impressions.
Whenever the body is stressed headaches occur. Its a defence mechanism. Healing the body.
Where are you? When you are aware, you are everywhere. You are here yet a part of something so huge. When our mind makes us aware of such a huge thing then the little things don't bother us.
What are you? Energy. Inside the DNA is just energy. There should be a sense of urgency in life.
Who are you? To keep asking. We ran out of answers, repeating who we are. We run out of ways to explain who we are.
Giving our first name is the most narrow answer we can give. We attach so much to our name. Brings so much misery.
2nd identity we give is our surname.
3rd identity is our nationality.
4th narrow identity we give is our religion.
5th identity is male/female
These all were given/ forced after we are born.
The higher identity we have is we are part of this infinite consciousness. Part of this divinity. That is who we are. Living in oneness. We know there is more but couldnt express it. That is who we are.
3rd highest identity. Your sex, then you are ahuman, then the highest is that you are art of the divinity, part of the infinite consciousness.
Be human, be kind, be compassionate. Not to see intentions behind people's mistakes.
All Regioions- symbols, rituals, values. People hand on to sym and rit but the values are all the same. Astrology was created to show us oneness in the world.
These 4 identities is what distorts us in life. Impressing means we are using our ego in the wrong way.
Wanting attention, appreciation, recognition, and praises is your biggest impediment in yourspiritual journey. I am happy with my sction, content, then you are free. When you want no attention, you are at peace.
People getting jealous at you is negative energy for you.
He more you are far from it, the more you are closer to people.
Walk light.
We've globalised music, and food, and technology. We need to globalize wisdom also.
If you want to grow, let go.
What is Yoga? - 8000 years old. Yoga simply means union. Purpose to create an impact of deeper meditation. Means union of body, breath, and the mind. Body is in the present moment. So is the breath. In the present. The mind that's in the past and in the future. Yoga is like pringles. Everyone is selling it and available in every store. To make the mind stills yoga was invented.
Sip water and drink. Slowly, little at a time. And don't stand and drink, or sit and fold legs and drink. Good for water retention.
Never put anything on your body that you cannot consume. Use ayurvedic stuff only. Or organic only.
Home kriya:
20 large breath
40 medium breath
40 short breath
3 sets of it.
He takes you from birth to the end. Via a meditation. And we realize we are the same. Nothing has changed. This is the nature of the consciousness.
We give so much attention to the scenery, but that will change. Our ideas, feelings, emotions change.
Knowing that everything is changing is one of the highest knowledges on the earth. The seer is always constant, what is changing is the scenery.
Knowing everything you are seeing is going to change.
We set standards and we expect people to match those standards. Be like us.
People are either going to be above us or below us. We tend to avoid those above us, and ignore those below us.
We avoid or ignore. We need to accept people as they are.
If you don't accept people as they are you are the one in disharmony.
Only 2 choices. React or accept.
You follow your nature, let them follow theirs. He gives a storey of the scorption and the saint.
Anger is non acceptance of what is. The unchanging reality.
Acceptance doesn't mean you become passive. Acceptance is active.
To measure anything you need a bigger scale that it is. To call someone egotistic means you are a bigger egotistic.
Game:
Each one tells a story. Each speaks of each ones ups and downs to bring you to this point in time.
We live life as though god has chosen us to punish. People strats to notice that everyones story is similar is to your own. You could visualize peoples lives, relate to it. Felt the connection to others,
We live life as if god as given only us all the problems. After hearing others issues you hear that my problems is worse than mine.
Everyone is rowing the same boat but on a different waves.
People spent more parts of their lives. Why? Cause the mind is still holding onto those impressions. The trauma is still there.
The purpose of knowledge is for belongingness.
In life we compartmentaize our love. Love is not an emotion. It is an existence, what we are made up of.
Everyone is suffering 4 things. Finances, health, relationships, misscellaneous.
What distorts our love in life is conditional love.
Unconditional love is divine love. Anger is also the offspring of love. The love for perfection. Greed is loe for something you ned more of. Jealously, etc. everything is love. Every negative emotion is the offspring of love. When you look beyond the emotion you wil only see love. What distorypts love in life is conditions, love people as they are.
The greatest fortune in life to say i want nothing. I am here to help you. Prosperity doesnt bring happiness. It is happiness which brings prosperity. Everyone is waiting for someone to come and say i belong to you.
It is the responsibility of the awakened to awaken the unawaken. Violence is there in the world cause good people are not doing anything.
Nature doesn't discriminate. The breath passes thru the good and the bad.
Don't just accept people for who they are, but love them for who they are:
People below us you give your hand and lift them up. Those above us you reach out to them and lift yourself up.
5 points to keep you in check:
1. Opposite values are complimentary. Say yes to it. Thumbs up
2.Accept people in situations as they are and for who they are. Finger pointing
3. Don't see intentions behind other people's mistakes. At this point everyone is innocent. Gun pointing.
4. Don't be a football of other people's opinions. Cup hands like a ball
5. Live in the present moment. Put your 100% in everything. Palm straight.
When you lie down then you turn to the right before you get up. All major organs are on your left. And when you eat you sleep on your left. For metabolism.
2 ppl sit across each other. Meditative music. A reflection again from birth to growing up. The diff states of growth. Then they look into the partner's eyes. With innocence they drop all boundaries, notions, opinions. Look into the consciousness behinf those eyes. Feel the presence of the being behind those eyes. That soul, that spirit. Look beyond those eyes. Then close eyes again. Again open, and look into the parners eyes, and god came to you in the form of this partner. Can you accept it? Feel the divinity. Made of the same substance as you. Close eyes again. Breathe again. Now hold each hands and bless the partnrer. Bless with all your love. Love with all your heart.
Then a dance music. soft sitar music.
They all stand now. Music louder. Listen to the music eyes closed. Let the music become a part of your soul. Let your body loose. Let your body dance. Keep eyes closed. Become one with the music. Let go.
Then music changes to faster dancing. Let go. Dance.
Then we say i belong to you again.

The biggest misery is questioning the present moment.
