Uncovering Buddha’s 3rd Fold
- What Is Spontaneity?: One is out of awareness, in the present moment – unprepared, spontaneous, allowing existence to possess you, to speak through you or act through you.
- There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. – Albert Einstein
- One who lives in this moment as if it is all is spontaneous.
- Spontaneity is an understanding that “I have not to run after desires.” Seeing the futility of desires, one no longer runs after them and there is spontaneity.
- Abundant Consciousness: Consciousness is infinite life, life abundant. It knows no boundaries. But ordinarily, everybody is self-conscious. To be self-conscious is to be unconscious.
- There is a difference between loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness means that you miss the presence of the other. To be alone means that being by oneself is enough.
- Loneliness is a feeling of incompleteness. Aloneness will connect ourselves with abundant consciousness.
- Tangible is limited and intangible is unlimited.
- What Is The Challenge? : Each problem is a challenge. Each problem makes you more intelligent.
- It is better to go on facing each problem as it comes by.
- You are always marching into the unknown for new challenges. And all these challenges will go on sharpening the best in you.
- Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
- The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
- Say Yes. : Yes is light, No is darkness. If you really want to do anything in your life, you have to learn the way of Yes.
- Saying yes to existence is to be religious. Saying no is resistance, saying no is conflict, saying no is egoistic.
- Yes is the very essence of religion, no the very foundation of irreligion.
- YES Saying yes means surrendering to existence. That simple word “yes” contains the whole of religion.
- Setup goal and say yes to the goal.
- Buddha’s 3rd Fold Right Action: Action is good, thinking is a vicious circle; it never leads anywhere. So thinking has to stop but not action.
- Awareness Plus Action
- Become more and more sensitive in your doing. Doing is not to be renounced; action should be totally there, because that is the passage through which you move into reality and the reality moves into you.
- Renounce thinking, don’t renounce action.
