Modern life is on the fast drive. The sad thing is, it’s not really more efficient just because of that. Everybody’s running, running, running. It’s like those rodents on a wheel. You’re just endlessly scrambling, scrambling, scrambling, until you fall off, completely exhausted or dead, and you haven’t gotten anywhere. Not really. This is why big organizations like Google and so forth sponsor mindfulness retreats for their employees. It’s not for the sake of the liberation of those poor employees – it’s to keep them from burning out and reduce their stress levels while they’re still on the wheel. We should think about this.During the day, just step back, relax, take a few deep breaths and bring yourself back into the present moment. For each one of us, only we can bring more awareness and clarity into our lives. It’s up to us. No one can do it for us. This doesn’t take time. It just takes attention, awareness, and being more conscious. When we do this, things get done just the same. Yet at the end of it all, you feel that sense of spaciousness, instead of feeling claustrophobic and exhausted. This is the training. We have to train the mind.
As the Buddha said, “Let the wise man tame his mind. A well-tamed mind brings happiness.” So why not have a happy mind?
A duduk instrument’s sound makes it easier for you to reach peace and meditate, which is the best way to attain peace and meditation. Gift this relaxing sound to your friends and share this good feeling with them.
Always go with the river of life. Never try to go against the current, and never try to go faster than the river. Just move in absolute relaxation, so that each moment you are at home, at ease, at peace with existence. Osho
