BIGGEST SURPRISE

The moment we identify ourselves with that which we are not, we tend to make our life miserable. Identification creates misery. Normally, we identify ourselves as body and mind. The Moment we do that the attributes of body & mind applies to us. If someone says you are ugly, you become sad. If someone says you are charming, you become happy. But infect, we are none of the two. We are beyond the two. Pure witnessing consciousness. The oscillation between body & mind leads to misery. Only when you transcend this can you experience your true self. This experience of self is Life. There is no way to attain life except the way of living it fully. Going with the flow. Streaming with it. If you are seeking meaning of life in some dogmas, scriptures or philosophy, then one thing is sure, you are missing the life and not only that you are also missing the meaning of life. When a monk was asked - What is life??His reply came - the river with no ends. Accepting Life but not death. Accepting day & not night. Only accepting the good days & not accepting the bad is not accepting life in totality. It happened that one fine morning a few ants were quarrelling after they saw some dew drops on the leaves. One group of ants was of the opinion that it came from the earth & the other was of the opinion that it came from the sky. A few minutes later the sun arose & the dew was not there. The ants was awes trucked. Where had the dew gone? It elapsed to the source. It had originated from the source. Source was its point of birth & it evaporated in the same source. Same is with life. Life & death are not opposites but complimentary. Accepting both transcends the identification. And this transcendence is an Experience of No mind, voidness, total emptiness. And this is possible only when one lives with Awareness. Then you die every moment & every moment your rebirth takes place. Then you just live. And this moment to moment living is LIFE. Then life is a celebration & so is death. The biggest surprise on this earth in that in every individual living on this planet there is God or Goddess. But our true nature is forgotten because of Illusory Ego. Kabir says - .... When you are there, He disappears & when you are no more, only HE remains.
