Success and Failure

Success and failure are culturally loaded value judgments.
In nature there are only up and down (and other pairs of opposites).
These two are buddies. One cannot exist without the other.
Ganoba

Simple Living

What appears as simple living to the outside world
is based on a fundamental truth.
It is that we already have enough
(actually more than enough so we may be able to share with others)
Let this truth sink in
and then we would find all desire for more dropping off
like dried leaves in the fall season.
We would also notice the rising of compassion
which is actually a sense of brotherhood ( sisterhood).
Sharing happens naturally, effortlessly in this state.
We are then thankful for all that we have and feel inspired to use it wisely.
Let us not make this into a movement.
We need no research and expert opinion to commercialize this way of living.
This is not a treatment.
It is just a way of living.
It is subjective and personal.
Let each one work out his(her) way.
Ganoba

Useless Play

in useless play
we lose a lot of energy
not enough is left
to follow the way.
Ganoba

Suffering

Question and answer are inseparable,
like Radha and Krishna or Purush and Prakriti.
Seeing them as two separate entities is the primary folly
and is the cause of all our suffering.
Ganoba
