Image Source : http://majorlycool.com/item/sunset-ride/catid/10Sometimes when life gets too crazy, I feel like riding into the sunset. Don't care on what : a bicycle, a motorcycle, a car, a horse, camel, a buffalo (nah not really!) ....somewhere, somehow just GO.......
Am I running towards something ? Or away from something ? Myself ?
And then I realize that I cannot run from the situation. And also with my MIND as a permanent - sometimes unwanted - companion, can I really go far ? Don't think so.
Been reading the Yoga Vasishta regularly for a few weeks now and it dwells so beautifully on the secrets and tendencies of the mind. A must read after you meditate - it elevates one to a different level of consciousness. A little secret - some lucky soul reads some pages to Guruji every day - phir meri kya zurrat ki mai na padhoon ?
Yoga Vasishta - not just a book, but a Guru's blessing.
But someday I will take that ride into the sunset and it won't be running away.
Jai Guru Dev,

ReplyDeleteJai Guru Dev,

ReplyDeleteI like sunrise more than the sunset.
wow!!
ReplyDeletethough i have heard about yoga vashista this article really made me think!
I am sure to grab the book some day soon! :)
You ride into the sunset? Nice. I always dream of driving my car just after a heavy downpour, along the green fields, listening to instrumental music. Ah bliss! I liked the ending, an emphatic one! :)
ReplyDelete@kiran: Blissful Reading. My AOL teachers used to say "Read after u meditate, 1 page a day. And read lightly without being intellectual" .
ReplyDeletePlease share your experiences some day on your blog .
I prefer the sunset as I am not a morning person :)
@aparna : do read it either by yourself or in a satsang. Very rewarding ! Do share.
