The way of the Water

The Way is indescribable in words. It is like pointing fingers towards the moon but not seeing the moon. When we are in the flow, we become the flow .And such flows are experienced in many contexts and in many ways. When I am fully immersed in something or with somebody, I lose my sense of separateness. There are no two-there is only one. The ancient Vedanta philosophy describes it as advaita-not two.

I experience such oneness when I am in a deep meditative state where the two banks of the river-this and that, me and you, right and wrong get dissolved into one flow of river; where the small self , the egoic- self, vanishes and the Universal Self unfolds.It is like soul meeting  the soul and merging into one other. I have such experience when  take a walk in nature where everything is connected with everything.I sense and feel harmony.

We all are born with the potential to realize the Self. I have been blessed to be in the  presence of such self realized people.For them the Kingdom of Heaven is right her and now in its full glory and majesty. We need to be awakened from the trance of separateness and go back to our universal home which is inside all of us.

May we go beyond our small self and be open and awakened to expand our consciousness!

Yes, I love FLOW. When I get so absorbed into something, whether it is playing with my little niece, working on crafts, walking in nature, even working, anything I'm passionate about can bring me into Flow. Interesting that you mention Water. Dr. Wallace J. Nichols wrote the book Blue Mind in 2014. I highly recommend it. As the subtitle says, being in, on, near or under water makes us Happier, Healthier, More Connected and Better at What We Do. He also uses the word GROOVE. He explains when you get lots of water it makes Grooves like the Grand Canyon and when say Jazz musicians are all working together, they Grove...basically everyone is Flowing together. :-)
