INSPIRATION 2 PAIN & PLEASURE

Here are the basic choices for how the two aspects of life, pain and pleasure, came to exist.
1 Two universal forces contend for control of creation, one being good, the other evil. Human beings are caught in this titanic struggle between light and darkness.


2 Creation cannot exist without destruction. These forces are not opposites but two sides of the same eternal process.


3 The only real existence transcends good and evil. All events that we perceive as good or evil, pleasurable or painful, are illusions compared to the "real" reality, which is whole and therefore not divided into opposites.


4 Creation was originally good, with no blemishes, and life was without suffering. Then sin entered the world through human error and disobedience. After that disastrous event, creation changed.


5 The cosmos is presided over by higher beings who sport with humans. Our experience of pleasure and pain reflects a game that is played out beyond our ability to comprehend it.


6 The cosmos is in the state of constant evolution. Good and evil, pleasure and pain are prompts to guide us forward in our own evolution.


7 The relationship between this world of light and darkness and some other world cannot be known. Going beyond pleasure and pain reveals a kind of emptiness, which is the only escape route, despite our yearning for higher purpose.

REMAIN AT EASE : BY OSHO

Meditation is a kind of medicine. Its use is only for the time being. Once you have learned the quality, then you need not do any particular meditation. Then meditation has to spread all over your life.

Talking or silent, moving, unmoving, the essence is at ease. The essence is at ease, that is the key word. The essence is at ease, that is the key statement. Do whatsoever you are doing, but at the deepest core remain at ease, cool, calm, centered.

WHY ANNA HAZARE & BABA RAMDEV MOVEMENTS

The Country has in the last few months seen huge public supported movements under the stewardship of Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev. Irrespective of the political point of view there does exist a Social point of view. A) The People of the country have now started raising strong voice against issues of public importance like Corruption ; Transparency in Governance ; accountability and so on and so forth. B) The People in Power must realize that they are accountable for their jobs and now the citizens of this country will not take things in their stride any more. C) Promises and assurances are not enough we now need immediate solution to the problem.

Pandit Bhim Sen Joshi

The doyen of classical sangeet is no more. I recall he once said that to become a great musician you need three things. 1. Great Teacher, 2. Great Practise and 3. Great Luck. How true for every sphere.

OSHO SAYS

There is no failure in life. It all depends how you take things. If you are desiring too much…….. then there is frustration and failure. But if you are perfectly happy with whatever you are, life is a moment to moment victory.
