Que Sera Sera

Listening to this oldie today while lazing around in the warm Saturday morning I realized the deep wisdom of this phrase:

QUE SERA SERA!

"Whatevere Will Be Will Be!"

This is the ultimate state of acceptance of all things in life. Like you are not saying no to anything.

That is beautiful.

Que Sera Sera!

It takes a whole lot of load off you, and remoses stress from life generally.

Just be, and let everything else also just be.

Que Sera Sera!

For a wise old man like me, this really made my morning worthwhile!

I intend to live with this phrase now for some days, till the newness of the realization wears off!

Rest, Que Sera Sera!

Riding the Waves

In a sea of loneliness

I ride the waves

The crash of the thunder

The splash of the crest

The roar of the wind

The heaving bosom of the sea

Bracket my life

As I ride the waves

In a sea of loneliness

Dwarfed by the vastness and

Magnified by my stillness

In the swirling energy around me

I question my identity

And my relevance

In the Scheme of Things

No anchor

No shore

No"land ahoy"

Nothing to tie me down

I bob on the surface

Wet, astride the waves

In a sea of loneliness

Joy and Us

Many of us go through life seeking Joy.

In fact, "seeking" is a synonym for "hungering for Joy".

So why dont we find it?

Because we are looking for "something", and Joy is not that.

Joy is nothing.

It fills the "Nothingness" of our lives.

Joy is the vacuum of our being. Our universe. When there is nothing else, Joy still is.

It permeates the very fabric of life and universe and existence.

It is the medium in which life exists.

You want to find joy?

Look for "nothing". 

As long as you keep looking for something,  you will not find joy.

We,  and our lives, have never been separated from joy. It cannot happen. Life and we cannot exist but in the medium of joy. We are made of joy.

So if you are feeling "joyless", it is because you have closed your feelings to your life. Like closing your eyes shuts out the light. The light still remains as it was, you just shut it out of your eyes. In a joy-less life, joy still is there, only the perception of it ceases.

If you allow yourself the freedom and the choice to feel anything, be any way, joyful is what you will naturally feel. Because this is what we are!

Fountains of joy. Each one of us.

Feeling joyful requires no effort, no seeking, no meditation, no hardships, no sacrifice, no prayer, no worship.

Just be yourself. Remove all feelings from your mind and senses. Most of these feelings are negativities imposed on you by your mind. Just let go of them. Let go of anger, hurt, frustration, seeking, desperation, guilt and all other feelings. Allow yourself to be, just as you sometimes allow yourself to soak in a hot water bath after a long and tiring day.

It requires letting go, of tensions and feelings and thoughts.

Does not require effort.

Let go. Be yourself. And joy automatically gushes out of your heart and drowns your body and being in it!

Let go. Be yourself. And you can start feeling and sensing the boundless joy that surrounds your life.

Let go. Be yourself. End of seeking. End of hunger. 

Only Peace. And Love. And Joy.

Always. Forever.

Effortlessly and infinitely.

Let go.

Be yourself.
