Don't Blame Others (A Short Conversation)

The mind: “nothing is wrong with you, it’s others fault”

The buddhi:  “huh! Stop doing that”

The mind: “ I make myself comfortable for whatever happens you know”

The buddhi : “you know, whenever you point others with your fore finger, your other three fingers point back to you.  You know what does it mean? It means you must contemplate for whatever happens. Not just simply blaming for others. “

“remember the video by Bapak Anand Krishna kind of talking about this”

No problem? Nonsense

Picture taken from Google

For all of us, adult, we have problems of course with different type of them. None of us do not have it at all. For I have heard a saying that life itself is a problem so we must be clever enough to deal with it and try our best to solve it.

We will get stress if we really believe that we will not have any problem in this life.

Every day we must go out somewhere; to the office for workers; to the markets for mothers; to school and campuses for students, etc which means that there will be problem at least.

Perhaps traffic jams or facing people with different character which we do not get accustomed with. In this case we must manage ourselves not to get stress, we must have good ability to adapt ourselves in each situations we face.

Having that ability will make us survive.

Have you meditated today?

Such question might as simple as have you prayed today?

Perhaps, but may be the first question is rarely been heard of since we haven’t got accustomed to meditation. Yes, but one thing for sure, meditation as a Wise Man says that it is not a silent sitting for several hours or more.

Meditation should be a way of life. Means that we can meditate while walking, eating, even when we are working. Great idea, don’t you think so?

Conversation in me

Trying to find sort of wise words or enlightening words. Why is that?

I do not know. But this morning when I was taking a bath there was a thought crossed my mind. Suddenly I thought about death. While rubbing my body with soap, I thought about it.

I said to myself; “When the soul leave the body, so there wil only be the body without breath. That is what we call someone die”

When I die, will I realize it?

When I die, will my soul easy to leave the body I mean no attachment. No sadness or something unnecessary?

Peoples of a different world

By: Anand Krishna

Not too long ago, I faced a situation, when for the first time I realized that to some people love and loins are inseparable. To them, love making is the only possible expression of love. They cannot think of love as anything else other than the meeting of human genitals.

I have this habit of signing my books “with love” – always.  Having done that for more than a decade, I faced a situation when even that line was being questioned. Thus, I was being projected as the perfect blend of Caligula and Casanova.

Why do I sign my books “with love”?

Anand Krishna & His Offering

Anand Krishna, which is not only a spiritual activist but a productive writer and a humanist as well lately gave his latest offering to the world. It is an ashram in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia where all people from all over the world with various background are welcome. Not only those with faith or religion but faithless and even atheist are welcome.

This humble but famous figure with One Earth, One Sky and One Humankind as his vision really grateful for having some guests during the soft mellow opening of the ashram. This is what has been said by Marie Bee, a French journalist when she came to that opening on 8 April this year, ”I know that today everyone feels the intentions in your heart and share them”. And she also very much enjoyed the ceremony there without any priest and fuss.
