man's choice

Man has two choices; to live within the realms of the mind or to move away from it. True fulfilment is impossible within the realms of the mind on account of its intrinsic attributes. Joy and love are attributes of a flowered heart, a movement away from the realms of the mind...the flowering of the heart is enlightenment.
-Sri Bhagavan

my take-home......in awareness, Man can choose joy and love over misery and suffering.

an inspiration from einstein...

as I have observed it....Man's evolution into higher realms of consciousness is a direct factor of the extent of his awareness on his own levels of ignorance of the basics of life....

angelbytes...

Nothing divides one so much as thoughts.

cancers of the mind....

Bitterness and resentment are cancers which eat into our creativity.Man has a tendency to focus on what has not happened rather than on what has happened.Me , personally, I have learnt to see happenings as manifests of Grace...if our manifests are not happening in accordance with our needs, we have to explore the domains of conditioning within from which they are emerging and heal those domains.Thus, on the surface , we may be projecting a great nobleness of intent in keeping with our projected ideals, but what matters in the manifest of our intents is surfacing of our subconscious and unconscious aspirations, arising from conditionings that are as ancient as man itself.

Man requires to be healed of his deep-seated conditionings for genuine manifestation to occur.And this healing is very simple.....to be aware of each emergence in our life and see our helplessness there...all of us are victims of excessive positionalities, deep rooted mental conditionings and perceptions, all of which are inhibitive.Growth in awareness and an expansion in consciousness are the key for our development into limitless realms of existential potentials.

strange choices...

Sometimes very baffling to observe people and watch their choices...emotions are energy and they energize our actions..we chose fear over confidence; misery over joy..some of us infact feel guilty about happy/joyous moments....we energize our own efforts with negativity....blessing it with failure....

Sufi Wisdom

Go sweep out the chamber of your heart.Make it ready to be the dwelling place of the Beloved.When you depart, He will enter.In you, void of yourself, will He display His beauties.
Mahmud Shabistari, Rose Garden of Mystery (13th century):

Sufi wisdom on learning

'WHAT is good for one may be very bad for another. For one it may be very good to be a nun or sit all day in a church or a mosque, but for another may need to go to the cafe and learn the meanings of the experiences gained there.'
Pir Inayat Khan

Sufi Wisdom

The qualities that endear a man to God are river like generosity, sun-like affection, and earth like hospitality.
Mu'in'ud-din Chisti

The true mystic is not a devotee lost in ecstatic communion with the One, or a reclusive saint who avoids others. The true mystic lives alongside other people - coming and going, eating and sleeping, buying and selling, marrying and chatting - but not for a moment does he forget God.
- Abu Sa'id Lbn Abi-L-Khayr

sufi wisdom about questions...

"There are some questions which can be answered , and others which should wait for an answer until those who ask them are able to understand."
Pir Inayat Khan

Sufi wisdom on union....

"In the state of fana, which is also called ittihad, Lord and Worshipper, lover and Beloved, both disappear. If there is no lover there is no Beloved. If there is no devotee, there is no Lord. The two are an inseparable polarity, so the disappearance of one is the disappearance of the other."
Abd Al Kader
