| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 06/04/06 at 01:17 PM Mood fluctuates, drawn and hit by the associations. A positive quality impression will elevate us to the roof, while another, the very next moment, will dump us, confining our out look to the mood, affecting our world within which shall affect the world without. The sun will look the source of life or scorch us now shall depend on the fluctuating mood. The moon will lose all the meaning if the sweet turns sour, owing to a mood.
‘BEING is what SHOULD BE
Immovable
I know you know what you are talking about. It’s a concept of a state which is the ultimate state of BEING, of ATTAINMENT. BEING immovable is always in AMNESS. And you know ATTENTION is the KEY. Yes, when the ATTENTION occupies its seat permanently, then one IS, and ONE, within, the MASTER OF THE HOUSE, active and alert, for ever.
Essentially,
BEING is WHAT IS
Yes, this is the state of BEING, as it should be. WHAT IS should be WHAT IS. As we interact with the world out side with our ATTENTION intact, occupying its seat, undistracted.
Know that the ATTENTION is the genie of the lamp but unfortunately we have become its slave. We ought to change this role. And this can only be attained in BEING, unfluctuating.
The quality of mind, the quality of soul, and the quality of life is in direct proportion to the quality of BEING. And well, as BEING IS in WHAT SHOULD BE, unfluctuating, so is and should be, LOVE, not realized by many.
Full marks Rula Shin.

| Posted by Laura Doom on 06/04/06 at 08:02 PM "Being is what should be" - the ideal, the zenith, perhaps, of human ambition...and if "Being is what is", then the struggle is over, and "LOVE" takes on a different meaning. Are we still 'human' if we understand and embrace this unchanging, immovable state? The human dilemma beautifully and simply expressed Rules. I felt happy reading this - but was that solely due to the contrast between a feeling of happiness, and other feelings of sadness (representing another 'side' of the struggle)? Everything has a counterpart, if not an opposite, and perhaps this is a 'natural' phenomenon...the fluctuations which characterize our lives - I wonder if it is, in practice, possible to accept all these conditions as part of our 'being', and not wish half our life away yearning for the other :> |
