Life is not a straight line- my musings

Life  is not a straight line_ my musings

Life is not a straight line. It has beautiful curves, many twists and turns.

Some musings:

When one is busy gathering knowledge from various sources, trying to get answers to questiions, one is able to share his knowledge with others easily.
But when one has known something, when something has become intrinsic to one he finds it almost impossible to express in words what he knows from his core. But the need to share is so tremendous that he shares at the cost of being misunderstood.

When one gains fame for his work, and starts identifying with it, he stops being himself. All that he does has an imaginary audience. The witness in him then goes in hiding in the din of the applause of this audience. Then the work is like plastic flower, perfect,beautiful, but without fragrance.
If he remains unidentified with fame, then the witness in him , his own pure awareness guides him, to continue to be creative. Then his work really flowers, with a fragrance of its own, even if all may not love the fragrance.


When one is radiating love, he does so, only by not hating. For love is who each one is. It is not acquired from outside. But when the mirror is cleaned, it shines in its true glory.

The more one seeks the crowd, the more one is lonely.

The one who is comfortable with one's aloneness, solitude, is the one who is at home everywhere in the crowd and when alone.

The more one gives, the more he gets without aiming to get.

The more he keeps grabbing the more emptier he feels.

At the peak of knowing, a man realizes that he knows nothing. It is said that when one has climbed the highest peak of the mountain he realizes that he has just begun to climb.

Rules are for man. Man is not for rules.

Money is for man. Man is not for money.

The man who is certain about everything has no clarity. He is confused when he faces the unknown, uncertain element. The man who has clarity is never certain about any thing. For life is uncertain. One who knows this has clarity in uncertainty.

The one who exclaims "holy cow" often knows nothing about holiness. The one who is not self righteous, has tremendous respect for the entire universe, even to those who hate or judge him.

To sum up, life is inclusive. All polarities merge and meet. Day meets night and night meets day in twilight and dusk, good turns evil and evil turns good. The master has the seed of the wretched in him, the evil has the potential to be a master in him
