A rythm of madness - you or me ?

 Some of the articles or comments on the various  by me may sound strange but I am only looking at a different angle or perspective. There is an old  poematic rythm which goes like this " Some people laugh at me for beign crazy or mad but I laugh at these asme people for not seeing the truth in life ".

There is a simple test which I want you readers to do  to understand my message. Please look at an object in front of you. Look at it directly and take note of its features , then move to your right and look at the same object  and you try to notice the features and you will note that it is different from the features from the previous angle and now , move to the left and look at the same features. Now, recap what you see and  take note of the difference in the features from the various angles. Even if the left and right features are the same due to the nature of the object, the background will be different. From this exercise, we will see that what we see depends on what we see and where we stand.

During one of my visit to a friend's house during a  hindu religious holdiay, I notice a Buddha statute hanging on the wall.  There was something special in the statute . It has a pair of moving eyes. If I move from left to right , the pair of eyes will follow you and it you go from right to left , it will move in the same direction and which angle you are looking at the statute, the pair of eyes will be eyeing you.  It is abit scary but there is alot of wisdom in the statute. To have a correct view of things, your eyes must  move to see all the facts infront of you . This correct view will give you the correct actions and do not depends on the mind alone to act spontaneously.  Human beings are impatient creatures and the mind will re-act in the first instance without letting you to see things correctly before taking actions.  With one look, your mind will form the picture and project an object which makes you feel that you have make the decision. Just hold the re-action and see more and learn more to dispel the image formed by your mind's first look and you will find your true self and you will detate actions from your true self.

It is not so hard to understand. Just try the test and hold your actions and slow down your movement. Don't walk too fast and live life superficially. Slow down your tempo and you will see more details and realize how beautiful is the world and you know what you have missed in life. Slow down and live.

Namaste.
