Notes on Spirituality 300821

A crow vision (kak drishti) is distorted. If it flies over a beautiful garden, it will not look at flowers, it will look for carcasses. At times, we also look at what is wrong in our life and not what is right.

That which did not change in me is who I am.

That which is not so but appears to be so is Maya, illusion.

Ancient scriptures first stressed on immortality or no death. Later they stressed on no birth. Because there will be no death if there is no birth.

Action is the signature of life. No action, no life.

Gyan yagna is when you burn your ignorance in the fire of knowledge

Adi Shankaracharya in Vivekchudamani says bumblebee has attraction for taste sense so dies in lotus flower, elephant has attraction for sense of touch by rolling in mud so suffers, patanga has attraction for sense of sight so it does. Humans have attractions of five senses.

Wherever I attach, that becomes myself. Body, mind, intellect, accomplishments or profession, that becomes myself.

Mind is just flow of thoughts. When you control these thoughts and turn towards yourself, that is meditation.

I minus I want is happiness.
