Quote: July 28, 2009

This is the quote I have been trying to remember for many days now.. phew just remembered the phrase, "doors of perception" ...

If the doors of perception were cleansed
every thing would appear to man as it is,
infinite.
For man has closed himself up,
till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.

From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

the hours are . . .

. . . like poetry, all fluid

a few rigid rules

may be taken for

granted


a little surreal

a little sublime

a little like a dream

nobody should define


a handful of friends

a pocketful of foes

a tune to dance to

10 fingers and 10 toes


days like deep sleep

nights full of awakening

a few sunrays, a mirage

a full moon night, unexpectation


subconsciously

waking up the

conscious

all in an hour’s wandering!

Fireworks!

I can't tell who is more disturbed,
Junior, my little five year old chihuahua or me.
Junior, who is terrified of the firework -
4th of July you know!

Me - well, I am quite terrified as well -
of 4th of July fireworks too!

Quotes: July 3, 2009


do destiny orbits jab ek doosray ko choo kar guzartay hain
to duniya simat jaati hai,
aur jab alag hotey hain to anant, infinity.

(When two destiny orbits come in close contact,
the world shrinks.
And when they separate,
we experience infinity.)

Osho - On Possession

Another share-worthy update from my Facebook Osho Group:

Mulla Nasruddin walked into the office of a cemetery

Osho - It happened: Mulla Nasruddin walked into the office of a cemetery and complained to the manager: "I know well that my wife is buried here in your cemetery but I can't find her grave." The manager checked in his register and asked, "What is her name?"
So Mulla said, "Mistress Mulla Nasruddin."


He looked again and he said, "There is no Mistress Mulla Nasruddin, but there is a Mulla Nasruddin." So he said, "We are sorry, it seems something has gone wrong in the register." Nasruddin said, "Nothing is wrong. Where is the grave of Mulla Nasruddin? -- because everything is in my name." Even the grave of his wife!



Possession... everybody goes on trying to possess: the beloved, the lover. This is no longer love. In fact when you possess a person, you hate, you destroy, you kill; you are a murderer. Love should give freedom; love IS freedom. Love will make the beloved more and more free, love will give wings, and love will open the vast sky. It cannot become a prison, an enclosure. But that love you don't know because that happens only when you are aware; that quality of love comes only when there is awareness. You know a love which is a sin, because it comes out of sleep.
