Insightful article by spiritual teacher Eknath Easwaran on the still mind as perceived from the Hindu and Christian religious philosophies... A still mind is divine - The Economic Times
i just wish it were not so easy for others to rob me of this. usually by trying to tell me what to pretend. my comfort is in there being more different kinds of things then any named belief has ever imagined. more. not less. odd and interesting shapes, places, not faces. and nothing that wishes to be feared.
what if children were not robbed of more interesting things then conflict and competition and destruction? would the world be any worse off, or any of us in it, if no one were to demand each other pretend the same unnatural narrowness, of which named beliefs perceive no wider?
Everyone is different with different expectations during a day... while the truth is no one is able to rob or steal someone’s memories or hopes and desires ..every human has such vast value ...whether in motion or still ... I find when I am still I move faster ...here comes reality ...there goes gravity
