Third quarter @ Aslesha - flowing world

One who looks upon the flow, is separate from the flow.

Life is a process, things are in movement, things are flowing, body is flowing, time is flowing.

But you, as the watcher, are not flowing.

You, are watching - everything.

Thanksgiving moon '19

With a restless, distorted and soiled mind, one cannot access one's core consciousness. And the senses shouldn't be roaming behind varied experiences.

That is why in this culture, for various occasions, various fasting disciplines are prescribed.

Eleventh day of a fortnight -  no cereals, no lunch.

A full moon day - again no cereals, stay in a fruit diet.  A Monday - from sunrise to sunset, dedicate your hunger to Shiwa, and so on.

Sometimes, a fasting prescription comes with a preface and epilogue - foregoing previous night's supper and the next day's breakfast. This leashing of oneself cultivates tolerance. And a strange energy wells up within.

Body is but a shrine of consciousness - and  should not be abused with indiscriminate food, thoughts, sleep.
