No Waste, No Want
We need to wake up to the reality “No waste No want”. We all must rejoice whenever we are able to help our environment in small ways in our daily life through our awareness of its boundless gifts. The more we learn to respect Nature, and reduce all kinds of misuse and abuse of her abundant gifts to all beings, the more she will be cleansed by the positive vibrations. When we fill our hearts with overwhelming gratitude and love for her, it would also ward off the negative impact on the already polluted environment.
Essence or Whole?
“If one looks deeply into nature, one can see messages strewn about in every single detail. When your consciousness touches nature’s, the consciousness in nature speaks to you and reveals to you the secrets of an awakened living.” – Bodhi.
No "Junk Foods" - No "Junk News"!
We need to be very careful about the news feed either through social network or news channels. We forget we don't only eat through our mouth but through our eyes and ears. Junk food = junk body, junk news feed = junk mind. If we eat the news through our eyes and ears, we are mostly ingesting the worst toxins into our mind and polluting our body. Let us never forget—every poison collected through our senses is dumped in our mind and we feel miserable.
The Religion of Consciousness
A seeker asked me the other day, “Bodhi, what do you think is the biggest challenge for all of us?” The Mother in my heart spoke: “To constantly remember yourself”! We remember many things belonging to the past and worry about many things related to the unknown future, but don’t forget to question: who is the thinker? who is the doer? and who is the one happy or unhappy?
The Art of Mindful Living
Life has its own pristine flow that is simple and blissful. But modern civilization has taken us away from nature. We have created our own habitat of concrete jungles all over the world. We also have become subservient to machines, conveniences and electronic devices. Humankind has been losing contact with nature, and this has created a huge gap between our head and heart.
