Being alive is a simple world. When intellectually understood it could have many significances leading to dialogues and debates, led by the intellect. When experienced .. there is only one.. the experience! no dialogue.

States of Ignorance part 4


Lack of Awareness                                                                                                                   
What is your state of mind now? Are you calm? Are you aware you are calm? When you get agitated ? are you still aware?
When one is conscious of events one is said to be aware. Now Imagine to be aware of  totality. All events that is happening.


Imagine yourself taking  a walk  on a street in Paris….   Are you aware of  your physical body, your  breath, your thoughts, your emotional state, the surrounding….the feel of the feet in the shoe , on the pavement.  The fragrance of the  passers by, , The smell of the coffee brewing in the café ; aware of all events as they occur , as you walk by.



The more aware one is , the more fluid and peaceful life becomes.
Example.  You are reading a book and you get  lost in a tantalizing plot. On reading the book you could perhaps narrate back the entire story. But what about the feel of the paper, the smell of the book, the style of the font.  Where you aware of it all.

A husband on his death bead  tells his wife. “ you have been with me from the beginning,  through loss of my business, my friends, through times of  difficulties you have always been there”.  “ Do you know what honey?”
humbly she  inquired , what dear?”
To which he replied”  dear, I think you are the problem”
