NOV 21

1

Time flies. We need to catch hold of each and every moment to fullfil full-heartedly on every little aspect of our life whether we engaging in conversation, writing an article or letter, performing our job or household chores. Then we can say that we are in existence in the profound Zen or Tao realm. That is enlightenment in every moment.

The moment you realise that you walking towards the spiritual realm, your negative attachment falls off one at a time. Your friends are very surprised to see your pride and ego have disappeared, your usual unfavourable habits like telling lies and gossiping no longer remained and all the unkindness was vaporised in thin air. What your friends see now is your loving-kindness, care, concerns and humility. They are wondering why so much warmth and love radiating to them.

My student asked me last night," I am always confused when a small matter coming to my mind for me to ponder. There is always something that bothering me so much when I could see some arguments going on and I could not figure which side is giving me the correct answer."
So I said," We have several layers of body in us. The emotional body which is egoistic will tell you something which is seemed to be correct. Then your mental body, the logical one will tell you that is not right and you need to think deeply. The physical body will tell you not to argue so much and it is feeling tired and wanted to rest. Your spiritual body and other bodies will come to tell you this and that. And you will never got the right answer."
Next I advised my student to go deep into the heart and remain impartial and let the final boss, the true self to decide on the matter. The answer will be 100% accurated. ( 2 cents opinion)

These two types of people
are difficult to find in the world…

One who will do a favour first,
and one who is grateful for a favour done.

- The Buddha (Anguttara Nikaya I.86)
