Living Life!....part 02

03^rd Aug 2025   Day 23241

(to be read in continuation of Post, dated 27^th July 2025)

Last Sunday I wrote about the following:

1.       Never Alone ( Grace & Abundance)

2.       Infinite Potential (live Life To The Maximum!)

3.       School of Hard Knocks (learning & Evolving)

4.       Limited Time (Each day a gift of 86400 seconds)

Today, I shall put down into words, three other major learnings in my journey of Life.

5.       Enhancing Perception. Every moment of our life is an experience. If we perceive 100% of all that has to perceived, it would be the richest experience. Imagine you are at a concert or at a movie. If you are able to capture every sight and sound in their fullest intensity, you would have extracted fullest value of that experience. As we navigate through life, we have numerous experiences. Each like a gemstone woven on a necklace. Each as precious as the next. It is only when we have raised our perception to the ultimate level, can we really experience all the nuances of the moment and make it our richest experience. Not just from our five physical senses, but also from all the subtler senses that we could access. If we can keep our antenna (our meru dhand, the spine) at its peak level of receptivity and sensitivity we shall be able to enhance our perception. Likewise, if our ajna chakra is the most vibrant, we can enhance the reach and receptivity off all that is around us to be perceived. Possibly even beyond the range of frequencies within the normal audio / visual spectrum.

There are kriyas and sadhanas that we can use to raise our sense of perception. We will make our life the richest when we have the best sense of perception.

 

6.       Precious Energy. I am not the Body and I am not even the Mind. There is the subtle life energy, praana, that is eternal and within me. That is what is housed inside my mortal body and transient mind. Like petrol in the fuel tank which decides the performance of the engine. Likewise, the quality of the praana within me can be managed to be at its most effective level.

 

One has to ensure that our energy is as Satvik as possible and not just Tamasik and Rajasik. Being consciously aware of every moment in our Life, we can attempt to make our life energy into its most potent form.

 

7.       Consciously and not compulsively. Be aware of your thoughts, words, intent, energy.

If there is one learning that is the most important one, this is it. A deeper understanding of free-will, fate and destiny is needed. The fact that in every moment, my ability to RESPOND is limitless. Every moment I have a choice to make on how I respond. If I do so compulsively, driven by my past vaasanas and compulsions, then I am running my life in auto-repeat mode. I have to break free from my samsaaric circle and unravel life to a tangential path.

 

I should recognise that I have an unlimited choice of responses in every moment. And live that moment in the most conscious way with deepest awareness.

More to follow next week……..Live Life To The Maximum!
