Rambling on

Just some thoughts here and there...

*When one is not in tuned with day and night, one has lost the balance in self-nature. When it is day time one should move and work while at night it is time for resting, rejuvenation and contemplation. A time of peace and quiet. A young child is allocated time to study, work, play and rest. But as an adult he has lost this balance. During the day he is alert and fills his mind with activities. At night his activities do not stop but continue with lights, people, drinks, cars, streets, parties, games and noise. No time to rest and to reflect. Always on the go. The mind is always restless. When nature is the best mirror to look into we turn away from it foolishly. Animals divide their time neatly according to it but humans find this method boring. A mundane life is not worth living so it seems. But an interesting life grows with the flow of nature and not against it. When it is time to work, work. When it is time to sleep, sleep and sleep well. For it is in resting we prepare for the next battle. Perhaps we should stop from our busy schedule and listen to our body and to watch the sun and the moon. How much we can learn from them and to live in harmony with ourselves.

*Sometimes the same person can reach out and keep you warm, care for you and make you laugh until you pee in your pants, dish out insurmountable sincerity and love. The same person can also annoy, irritate, hurt and ignore your feelings. But these are the ingredients of a relationship. It is a little sweet, sour, bitter and salty although never out of love, consideration and trust.

*The difference between a person who seeks spirituality from books and a person who dedicates his whole life to a monastery is that the former knows the theory, understands his faults but rarely practises the good. While the later practises what he memorises to be good but rarely understands them. In the meantime people still fight and kill in the name of world peace.
