The Fish, The Net, And The Water

Based on the article by Mauro Bergonzi, below is my reflection:

Mystery is to be experienced and not to be solved. Mystery is a holistic experience and it cannot be divided into fragments. It is like love. Authentic and pure love cannot be fragmented and divided. It is like an ocean. It has its wholeness. We may think about love and try to analyze it. When we try to do it, we lose the holistic experience of love. I love to listen to classical Indian music. When I listen to a melodious song my experience is holistic. I listen to a song with my full and undivided attention. I get deeply get absorbed in it. I become music and music becomes me. It becomes a spiritual and mystical experience to me. It becomes a devotional experience, being united with Divinity. My "I-ness" melts away and I become ONE. When I meditate, I also experience wholeness of the soul. All dividing lines go away and I experience oneness. There is a natural state of consciousness. "There is a Sanskrit word for nonviolence Ahimsa. "It means "not'' or " without"; himsa, without violence. This may sound negative, but in Sanskrit a word constructed in this way stands for both perfect and positive. Ahimsa implies that when every trace of violence is removed from the mind, what is left is our natural state of consciousness: pure love. Unfortunately, that love has been buried under layer upon layer of ill will and selfish conditioning. To have love bubble up to the surface of our life, all we have to do is systematically remove all those layers." -Eknath Easwaran Namaste! I bow to the Divinity within you. We become ONE.
