Zen

Zenový mnich šel lesem. Najednou si všiml, že ho sleduje tygr.
Začal tedy utíkat, ale svým vlastním způsobem, takže ani moc
nepospíchal. Pohyboval se rychle, v klidu a pohodě.
Tak trochu si to užíval. Napadlo ho:"Když si to užívá ten tygr,
proč bych nemohl i já?"

Doběhl na okraj srázu a aby ho tygr nedostal,pověsil se na
větev jednoho stromu na skále. Když se podíval dolů do údolí
uviděl tam dalšího tygra, jak na něj čeká.A nahoru na kopec
přiběhl ten první. Mnich visel na větvičce mezi nimi, dole
byl jeden a nahoře druhý tygr.

Začal se smát. Pak si ještě všiml, že tu větvičku,na
které visel, přehryzávají dvě myši, jedná bílá, druhá černá.
Mnich se rozesmál na celé kolo a řekl si:"To je život.
Den a noc, bílá a černá myš. Kamkoliv se rozhodnu jít,
všude mě čeká smrt. To je život!" A dosáhl satori, prvního
záblesku osvícení. To je život! Není třeba se rozčilovat,
takhle to prostě je.

Ať jdete kamkoliv, všude na vás čeká smrt, i kdyby jste se
rozhodli raději nikam nechodit,dny a noci pomalu budou
ukrajovat váš život. Proto se smál.

Začal se rozhlížet kolem, protože už bylo jisté, že zemře,
a tak se tím nemělo cenu trápit.
Když je smrt nevyhnutelná,tak proč si s ní dělat starosti?
Znepokojovat se má smysl,jen pokud to ještě není jisté
a lze něco udělat.Pokud je to jisté, nemá cenu se tím
vzrušovat,osud se naplní. Hledal tedy jak si užít poslední
okamžiky.

Všiml si, že blízko něj je pár jahod, a tak si je utrhl a
snědl.Vychutnal si je a dosáhl osvícení.
Stal se buddhou, probuzeným, protože ani blížící se smrt ho
nedokázala vyvést z rovnováhy. Dokázal si vychutnat jahody.
Byly tak sladké!
A v ten okamžik vše zmizelo, tygři, větev i on sám.
Stal se vesmírem.




Radost ze hry


Co znamená vítězství a co je to prohra?

Snad pošetilost, která zatemňuje jasnou mysl....

Vnitřní i vnější setkání v Aihóli


Někdy síla ducha sestupuje a přichází k nám prostřednictvím
druhých lidí, vtělí se na okamžik a skrze ně nám sdílejí
poselství .....

Iluze naší mysli


Jelikož nevědomost tkví svými kořeny v božském,
 je stejně rozsáhlá a neomezená jako poznání samo
 a vyhlíží stejně skutečně.

Hari OM !!



Once I was very much in love with a woman. I was telling my Indian father, 
Mr. Tewari, about it and he was listening very patiently. 
When I finished he said, ‘My boy, relationships are business. 
Do your business. Enjoy your business. But love is what lasts 24 hours a day, 
365 days a year. 
Real love is who we are; it’s not between people. 
It’s not affection, it’s not caring, not attachment. 
It’s actually who we are. It’s our true nature." 

 Krishna Das

Sadhu from forests


If you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. 
When you have a desire for something, 
don’t act on it and it will go away. 
If you desire to drink this cup of tea, 
don’t, and the desire for it will fall away.

Život



" ... láska není vztah, ale stav bytí ... " 

Mercy of Love


Only those who are at peace can make peace. 
Only those who have love can give love. 
If you want mercy be merciful. 
Mercy is spread by those who are mercy full.

Setkání s Mayou / Appointment with Maya


Maya je kouzelnicí Vesmíru „iluzorní skutečností“ která vytváří iluzorní realitu 
složenou také z našich přání a tužeb. Může k nám přistupovat v různých podobách 
a formách a hrát tak dokonalou hru s našimi smysly, že vytvoří tak skutečnou 
realitu, ze které je mnohdy vskutku těžké se probudit. 

Hraje si s námi a my mnohdy slepě následujeme roli, kterou utkala tkanivem 
našich iluzorních přání. Tančí před námi v podobě krásných žen, mužů, kteří 
jsou tu jen pro nás a v určitém smyslu i plní naše především smyslová přání. 
Jiným může vytvořit iluzi moci a neomezené svobody, jindy přinese bohatství 
v jakékoliv formě, které posílí naši sebedůležitost a slabosti, které nás zcela 
ovládnou, a také postupně rozkládají a ničí. 

Dokonale si hraje s lidským srdcem, má schopnost vstoupit do každé bytosti 
a skrze ni vytvořit tak dokonalou a pevnou iluzi a její tkanivo splete taková 
tenata , ze kterých se jen málokdo dokáže osvobodit. Jakmile do nás vstoupí, 
vytvoří jevištní figurky, které hrají pro její pobavení tak báječné hry…… 


Sage Narada and Maya Devi. 


Once Lord Vishnu told Sage Narada that , there is nothing real in this world and 
what all we see is due to the playful acts of Maya Devi. 
Narada did not understand it and requested Lord Vishnu to make him experience the 
powers of Maya Devi. Vishnu took sage Narada along with him and they reached a 
very deep forest in which there was a very big lake. Lord Vishnu requested Sage 
Narada to take bath in that lake. Narada kept his Veena called Mahathi and 
the deer skin on which he used to meditate on the shore and entered 
the lake to take bath. Suddenly Sage Narada was transformed in to a very 
pretty lady. She came out of the lake and was enjoying the beauty of nature 
around her. 
At that time a king called Thaladwaja reached near the shore. Attracted by her 
divine beauty he requested the lady to marry him. She also agreed and married him. 
Times rolled by. After 12 years of very happy married life they got a son called 
Veravarma. 
Then onwards , every two years she produced a child. And within another 24 years, 
she became mother of 12 children. Later she became mother for another eight children. 
All her children reached adulthood and married. And she got several grand children. 
At this time an enemy king invaded the country of Thaladwaja. In the battle most 
of his children and grand children were killed. Thaladwaja ran for his life. 
Then he left his country along with his wife and reached the same lake 
where he found her. 
Lord Vishnu in the form of a Brahmin was waiting there. He asked them 
to take bath in the lake. Narada regained his original form. He then could realize 
what all happened to him. Lord Vishnu then told him that all that happened 
was an illusion, which appeared real and was due to Maya Devi.  

Krishna and Karna



Karna asks Krishna - "My mother left me the moment I was born.
Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?
I did not get education from Dhronacharya because I was considered a non Kshatriya.
Parshuram taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything since I was a kshatriya.
A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow & its owner cursed me for no fault of mine.
I was disgraced in Draupadi's swayamvar.
Even Kunti finally told me the truth only to save her other sons.
Whatever I received was through Dhuryodhana's charity. So how am I wrong in taking his side?"
Krishna replies,
"Karna, I was born in a jail.
Death was waiting for me even before my birth.
The night I was born I was separated from my birth parents.
From childhood you grew up hearing the noise of swords, chariots, horses, bow and arrows.
I got only cow herd's shed, dung and multiple attempts on my life even before I could walk!
No army, no education.
I could hear people saying I am the reason for all their problems.
When all of you were being appreciated for your valour by your teachers, I had not even received any education.
I joined gurukula of Rishi Sandipani only at the age of 16!
You are married to a girl of your choice.
I didn't get the girl I loved & rather ended up marrying those who wanted me or the ones 
I rescued from demons.I had to move my whole community from the banks of Yamuna to far off Sea shore, to save them from Jarasandh. I was called a coward for running away.
If Dhuryodhana wins the war you will get lot of credit.
What do I get if Dharmaraja wins the war? Only the blame for the war and all related problems.
Remember one thing Karna....
Everybody has challenges in life.
LIFE IS NOT FAIR ON ANYBODY..
Dhuryodhan also has a lot of unfairness in life and so has Yudhishthir.
But what is Right (Dharma) is known to your Mind (Conscience)....
No matter how much unfairness we got, how many times we were disgraced, how many times we were denied what was due to us, what is important is how you REACTED at that time...
Stop whining Karna.
Life's unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path of Adharma.

Taittiriya Upanishad


The Sage in the Taittiriya Upanishad feels his Omnipresence, 
his being the Self of everyone, and sings his glory in an 
ecstasy of Consciousness: 

"O, I am food, I am the eater of food; I am the eater, 
and the eaten, the enjoyer and the enjoyed, the knower 
and the known, the seer and the seen." 

He has risen above the notion of immortality, and his glory 
he alone knows; others cannot understand it. Thus, he exclaims 
how he is free of all sorrows and pains and enjoys all the 
happiness conceivable, right from the fundamental unit of 
human happiness up to the Universal Bliss of Virat, Hiranyagarbha, 
Isvara and Brahman. He feels that he has done all that ought 
to be done, or has to be done, and that he has obtained everything 
that is to be obtained, and known all things to be known. 

"I am this world and I consume this world 
Those who understand this understand life " 

Rumi



You cannot learn about Love, 

love appears on the wings of grace.

Svobodná vůle a osud


" Osud a svobodná vůle jsou stejně mocné síly.
Přesto se domnívám, svobodná vůle je ještě důležitější, 
protože to jsou to naše vědomé volby, 
které vytvářejí náš osud. ".

Dary a řeč Země



Návrat ke kořenům se nazývá 
Stav klidu 

Stav klidu se nazývá 
podání se osudu 

To , co se poddalo osudu 
se stává částí toho 
stavu Bytí 

Poznat stav Bytí znamená 
být Probuzený 

A nepoznat to, znamená kráčet 
slepě do záhuby
