hermit's chronicles: If Life hands you lemons...

http://hermitchronicles.blogspot.com/2011/09/if-life-hands-you-lemons.html

Tuesday, September 20, 2011. If Life hands you lemons. This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness,. Some momentary awareness comes. As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if theyre a crowd of sorrows,. Who violently sweep your house. Empty of its furniture,. Still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out. For some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice,. Meet them at the door laughing,.

hermit's chronicles: One thought, and there goes your volition

http://hermitchronicles.blogspot.com/2011/11/one-thought-and-there-goes-your.html

Saturday, November 19, 2011. One thought, and there goes your volition. Parvati and Shiv were sitting atop Mount Kailash. Parvati was nagging Shiv. “It’s so gross. How can you sit here immersed in bliss when there is so much misery in the samsara you have created? Why can’t you help relieve the misery of mortals? 8221; sneered Parvati petulantly. “Spare me the gyaan. What kind of God would shirk responsibility this way? What kind of God wouldn’t be moved by the misery of the beings created by him? She pe...

hermit's chronicles: Counterproductive

http://hermitchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/01/counterproductive.html

Friday, January 20, 2012. Go too far to the East and you will land up in the West. If prayer would do it. If reading esteemed thinkers would do it. Id be halfway through the Patriarchs. If discourse would do it. Id be sitting with His Holiness. Every moment he was free. If contemplation would do it. Id have translated the Periodic Table. To hermit poems, converting. If even fighting would do it. Id already be a blackbelt. If anything other than love could do it. Ive done it already. What can I offer YOU?

hermit's chronicles: Imagine

http://hermitchronicles.blogspot.com/2011/07/imagine.html

Sunday, July 31, 2011. No harm in imagining. You do it anyway. You are a hollow reed. Say, a flute. And your seven chakras. Are the seven nodes. To play its music. This hermitage was here first. Only then, the world. When the world crumbles,. This hermitage will not be destroyed. The host inside the hermitage. The moon shines on the eternal void;. The wind whistles through. Having had an experience of letting go, even just once, proves beyond a. Mental formations are troublesome. Neem Karoli Baba: I was ...

http://hermitchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/09/loony-saint.html

Thursday, September 27, 2012. On the vandalisation of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the Taliban.]. Seeing the Buddha statue plundered. The loony saint danced. Let smile on his fallen face. Fly away – eyebrow, chin be blown,. Let lovely visage turn ugly, the eye turn blind. Who’s it – the one bound in physical form,. Break that wall, which. Forbids us from light and air. Can it make the bedrock of some water source. Find out; (No, not for a shrine! The stone which stole our sky from us. Edited by Vivek Shanbhag.

hermit's chronicles: Seek out the expertise

http://hermitchronicles.blogspot.com/2011/10/seek-expertise.html

Saturday, October 08, 2011. Seek out the expertise. If a law-suit has to be filed, one approaches a lawyer. To get rid of a disease, one has to call upon a doctor. In the same way, if God is wanted, the company of Sadhus must be sought. As Robert Adams reveals it:. DO NOT LET CALAMITY RULE YOU. You have to begin to identify with the Real Self. You have to begin to let go. Of all the false beliefs, conceptions, dogmas and be yourself. Be the Self. There is no controlling life. Will sweep you off your feet.
