Cradle of Love




We all must have heard this beautiful quote somewhere, ' live in the moment.' And here's the practical part; are we actually living in the moment?

 

Firstly, 'live in the moment' what does it mean? Living in the moment means a state where you're completely absorbed in the present moment. A state where we are not accompanying our thoughts with us, a 'thoughtlessness' state. 'Thoughtlessness' the word itself says, 'thought-less.' No past or future thoughts rendering in our minds. And It is extremely important to stay in this 'thought-less' state because whenever we think there's energy which is expensed in return for thinking. We all have heard that if one is having negative thoughts, he or she should replace them by thinking positively. But here's an eye-opening part; if you are positively 'thinking', there is still 'thinking action' which takes place. And where thinking action 'comes' there's loss of energy which 'goes.' Of course positive thinking can help you deal with the negative thoughts at the moment but it is temporary and also at the expense of your energy. So, the permanent solution to deal with negative thoughts is 'thoughtlessness' state.

 

Meditation plays a vital role here to reach us that 'thought-less' state. With continuous practice of meditation, there will be state where 'thought-less' state will be your second nature. Just imagine a life without past traumas and future worries. One will become like a newly born baby who has just born today living in the moment. A state where there will be only a chandelier cradle swinging joyously and with serenity. So, let's meditate and enjoy the swings of cradle.

The Shushing Feet

Have you wondered what's the most frightened thing we are scared of? Fear of heights, fear of being alone, fear of death and many other fears (fear-of-lizards-whoa-an-agitated-loud-scream) and the list goes on and on.   According to Google, fear is 'the feeling that you have when something dangerous, painful or frightening might happen.' Amongst of these above-mentioned-fears there's another fearful-heart-beat-accelerating-and-sweaty-hands kind of anxiety of fear which we most of us have. This dear and unnerving fear is 'public speaking.' Boo! It is said that the fear of public speaking is more than the fear of death! (whoa-I-know-right) There can be varied reasons amongst different people for this fear. For example, one might think what others would think of himself or herself (others-approval-and-validation-barrier) Would I be able to speak in front of hundreds of people? (self-doubting-barrier) And many other barrier lists which goes on and ...

The Kissing Sun

Have we ever tried gazing up at the sky for some time? The very beautiful sky which is there in our phone's gallery and also in our 'streaks' (puts-snapchats-90s-aesthetic-effect)   This beautiful enormous piece of creation by the Universe cannot be adored in a 6-inch Optic-Amoled display. You know they say 'sky is the limit'. Here, the 'cell phone has the limit'. No matter how beautifully 'sun kissed-photo' we take in our cell phones the joy in sitting in our balcony watching the orangish-red-fusion-of-the-sky for some time is incomparable (plays-dusk-till-dawn-by-Zayn) Here comes the stunning part - when we gaze at the sky or any other 'everlasting thing' we are in a state of thoughtlessness. (try-it-out) As the Master says himself, 'aakash ki taraf dekho aur fir vichaar karo, tum dekhoge vichaar hi nahi aarhe'. Now (experiential-learning-is-the-process-of-learning-from-experiences) we should definitely try this! Let...

The Underrated Happiness

Image
Isn't everything we do in our lives is to get happiness? Happiness that can stay with us every moment. We are literally chasing for happiness every day or say every moment of our lives.   Here, I mean about that everlasting, endless and eternal happiness . Happiness which is permanent and not temporary. For example, just imagine you ate a delicious-mouth-watering-toothsome-cookie (just imagine) and then after eating that delicious cookie, you felt like you're at the top of the world. Now, unfortunately this feeling resisted only for few minutes or maybe few seconds. (depending-upon-your-biting-and-chewing-skills) After few hours, you're back with your my-life-sucks-mode. Why is that so? Exactly, you just experienced a temporary happiness which lasted for some time. Well, you may ask what is permanent happiness and how to experience it? Here we go, Permanent happiness (or-say-underrated-happiness) is the happiness which comes from selflessness. It is an in...
