happy monday!


#GyaanByKhan 

Been an interesting morning! Monday mornings always bring a bit of thought a spark for me. I guess my brain has been programmed that way for last few decades. Three other points make this morning interesting (1) I have been staying at this hotel since 5th but just realised this morning that breakfast for two is included in the tariff....now that's a waste for a person like me who is an absolute foodie!!...I have no excuse...just no excuse to justify wasting breakfast (resource thinking!). (2) Last night was the second night of this year (2020) that I slept for more than 7 hours in any single slot of 24 hrs (rolling-considering timezones etc.) well that's an achievement for me! (3) While I go through various streams of experiences through my journey of 'rest of my life' I keep discovering things which are in cohesion with the universe....one such thing was a friend share this video with me.
Although videos, articles and other content of Sadhguru have been popping up in my life from time to time...A friend from past shared a link on Facebook Messenger, I watched this video a few times this morning and it resonated quite well.
A part of me was happy by going through this content. But then a part of me was dying to share it with people I care for. A part of me was also hesitant (fear). But then I navigated through all of those.... and decided to publish these notes. Notes which have a summary of around 250 words, which is my interpretation of this video. This may be #useful to people who are too busy or overwhelmed with the Monday feeling....a feeling that we created ourselves....to that matter even the concept of time was also created by ourselves...a concept which now drives us like slaves....but that concept also has a few advantages....but about that in some other future post...for now let's get back to Sadhguru. Summary of the video below: 
  1. Life is not you versus the universe. Bad competition! 
  2. Life is about your union with the universe. Yoga means union….not twisting bodies! 
  3. In internet terms, you are just a pop up! in this world..
  4. Future is not far and not in future. It's not something you have to wait for. This moment is yours. And This is the ONLY moment you have. *Tahir’s interpretation. 
  5. They key is that, there is no key! Life is mostly about, how you will handle yourself, your thinking, your thought, your effort, your results, your outcomes, your neurology, your biochemistry, your physiology etc. etc. (random sequence!)
  6. Interesting Snails story! By Sadhguru. 
  7. Suffering is a choice. And living is also a choice. Life or memory or imaginal suffering…upto you! *Tahir’s interpretation. 
  8. Spirituality (not religion!) should be practised early in life and should not be postponed to old age. 
  9. Life is an outcome of our two strongest gifts, gifts which have been bestowed on us as human species….Memory and Imagination..
  10. The issue is that we are creating sufferings for ourselves with the same gifts… (#DEEP) 
  11. In the end if you are breathing, you are transacting with this world and this universe. Every event / issue / achievement / result and every moment between your birth and death is life. *Tahir’s interpretation. 
  12. And remember whatever the issue in your life….whatever the problems in your life….they are all blessings because more problems means more interaction with this universe …more opportunities to make a difference.  
To end; "whatever the issue….you are not the issue". Happy Monday!! Link to the video which is 11 Minutes 48 Seconds..
