sacredness: awareness in integrity...

To me, awareness in integrity at any given moment is sacred space....we have to be in touch with ourselves.It is not an activity or a set of activities which construe sacredness.One can be anywhere, in a brothel,in a church, in a dance bar or in a satsang.....one can be a tarannum or a billy graham...hardly matters....

the key is awareness and integrity...to lose our awareness is a lack of sacredness....and it can happen while one is singing bhajans or at the temple, too....

activities dont bring in "sacredness"; attitude does...

i cherish sacred space..anywhere....a cetain fullness to it...no conflicts, no guilt, no half-presences...just there....savouring the moment life has gifted us....

does not imply that we won't have preferences of activities; that is personal choice and situational realities...

very often, we participate in activities because it is the "done" thing...in our peer circles...we ourselves may feel bored and suffocated...but find security in the group perspective...

again can be anything....satsangs, bar/pub crawls, sexual adventures, pilgrimages etc.....anything done without awareness , to me, is an escape....an attempt to lose ourselves because of an inherent fear of facing our real selves....and the lack of awareness could also surprise us in realms of the repurcussions...

matter of choices though.......
