LEARNING IS LIFE

  • No reaction, no judgment, just pure observation. I watch as the world drifts on by, No judgment for what, how and why. I let the things be, In silence I see, With not even one blink of an eye. • No drama, no ego, just quiet creation. Must work in the quiet and still, With never a need for a thrill. No ego, no fuss, Just simple for us, To create with a steady, calm will. • Be the witness, do the deed, let the senses pass you by. To act is the way to be free, Let senses drift out to the sea. Just watch as they go, With no need to show, And simply let everything be. • Walk through the world, leave no trace, keep a clear and steady eye. A traveler walks on the land, With nothing held tight in their hand. With eyes clear and bright, They walk in the light, Apart from the world as they stand

  Understanding prayer as a concept Defining prayer Prayer is a thoughtful, organized way to communicate with or show devotion to a higher power or sacred reality. People may pray to feel renewed or changed. In many faiths, prayer can express thanks, ask for guidance or blessings, promise to grow, seek forgiveness, support personal development, or bring a person’s inner self closer to the divine. Three Essential Attributes An act usually needs three main parts to be considered prayer: • Deliberate The person chooses to take part with awareness, focusing their mind or turning their attention toward the sacred. • Transcendent Direction. The communication is aimed at a spiritual being, higher power, or sacred presence beyond the physical world. This makes prayer different from talking to oneself or another person. • Sincere Expression. Prayer shows a real inner feeling, such as respect, humility, trust, or longing. Even when someone uses memorized words, prayer still needs honest invo...

  Silence: A short note True silence is a state of pure consciousness free from the clutter of constant thought, representing an innate human potential that can be nurtured through dedicated self-reflection. It naturally arises within a calm, non-reactive, and equanimous mind that is completely at peace with both itself and the surrounding world. Far from being dull or passive, a silent mind is deeply intuitive, possessing heightened alertness and clarity of intelligence. You can actively cultivate this inner stillness in your everyday life by practicing maun vrata (a vow of silence) during daily routines, or by exploring Buddhist Vipassana meditation to deepen your awareness and awaken a tranquil state of being. An Inspired Poem  The restless mind at last begins to cease, As thoughts dissolve into the silent deep. No-mind is found in inward-turning peace, Where ancient seeds of consciousness now sleep. This divine gift is ours to grow and hold, By watching self until the ripp...

 J krishnamurti on Truth Viewpoint According to noted thinker and author, J. Krishnamurti, truth is a pathless land that cannot be reached through religion, dogma, or the conditioned seeking of the mind. He asserted that truth is not the moral opposite of a lie, but a living state that reveals itself only when thought and the psychological ego fall silent. Conversely, falsehood resides in the illusions, beliefs, and attachments fabricated by human thought to find security. Krishnamurti emphasized that liberation occurs only when we see the false as the false, allowing the unconditioned mind to directly observe "what is" without judgment or external authority. Quotes Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. To discover truth, you must be free of all belief, of all conditioning, of all fear of being insecure. Truth is not something to be accumulated. What is accumulated is always being destroyed; it decays. Truth...
