El fuego está en tu corazón
No dejes que el fuego crezca por el viento de tus pensamientos
El estado nunca es un estado
Por qué se me levanta el viento
Son sólo tus creencias
Nunca es un estado
Son solo creencias
Si algo te hace vibrar, eso ya no está fuera sino dentro de ti
Y eso nunca es un estado, desentiéndete de eso
Trátate como una loca
Hasta volver a tu sitio
La vida es un juego de investigación
I came back from Chandrabadni temple, it was around 07:20. A guy came to me, he seemed very enthusiastic and looked at me with a big smile. He approached me and asked me if I wanted some chai. I replied: „sorry, I don’t have money“, but he said it was not a problem. I accepted the invitation. Then he told me in hindi (or that’s what I understood) that he saw me during his meditation yesterday. He also said the word „Sadhu“ but I didn’t understand the context.
„Hariom mata ki ye“, bolo „hariom mata ki ye“, he repeated, and like this I bowed too, grateful for that chai (and also breakfast) which gave me energy to ride my cycle back to Haridwar, after some unnecessary steep rides, and a ride of 140km.
A red rose 🌹, thin in its bottom, is growing in the top of my head. My hands vowing in direction of that rose.
Meditation of 23.4.2023, 17:45
from Latin sacrificare; sacer sacred, holy + facere to make.
Here starts a conversation between Parvati and Armin about going for a bike ride and loosing the portable pump.
Armin to Parvati: „You got a new portable pump to attach to the bike and you are wondering where to install the screws on it. You have two possibilities: the first one being attached on the main horizontal frame of the bike and the second having it in the vertical frame where your sit ends. If you by chance got to loose the pump because of intense vibrations in the bike, having it in the main frame would not involve any risk on you, i.e it won’t get stuck with any mechanical component like breaks or wheels and it won’t disturb the way of the bike either. However you would probably never see it falling - that means you will remain safe but you won’t notice having lost the pump until you‘ll probably reach back home. If by the contrary you have the pump attached to the vertical frame which supports your sit and your pump falls, it will very likely catch your back wheel, putting yourself at risk of falling out of the bike. That means you won’t be safe, but you will obviously notice the pump is not in the place it should be and you might be able to catch it.
After some minutes in silence, Armin asks Parvati: „so which option would you choose to install the pump?“
Parvati answers: „I prefer to take the second option and attach it in the vertical frame. Even if I fall, I‘d at least notice that the pump was not correctly attached and I have the possibility to not loose it on the way forever“.
I apply this to any situation in life: better loosing and knowing you are loosing even if it hurts, rather than loosing blind and realising it too late. In the first option I might have still the chance to find it again.
Armin seems to agree but just before saying bye to Parvati he mentioned: „Well, but if the fall doesn’t allow you to ride any more, then the pump is automatically removed from the equation, and all this discussion does not matter anymore“.
