Daily Guidance

1st May

As you make your way home tonight, may you pause for a moment to gaze up at the night sky and let your heart communicate with the moon in wordless dialogue. Perhaps you might compose a poem and set it down in your journal entry for today. I would like you to possess such a poetic spirit.

“I will never understand why every organ in your body get support and sympathy when it is ill, except for your brain.”

I have been up for over 40 hours straight. God, I'm so tired, but everytime I try to close my eyes I'm reminded of all the things I've been running from. It's not so bad, really. I just sometimes wish things were a bit simpler. For most of my life I thought I was a freezer. When faced with issues or uncomfortable situations I wouldn't run, or fight, I'd just freeze. I would become an incomprehensible mess. But honestly I'm a runner. Maybe not in the most obvious or traditional of ways, but when I can't physically run, I run emotionally. I isolate, I push away, I retreat so deeply into myself, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to find my way back out. In a way it's worse than freezing, because when you are frozen at least you're still. When you're running, there's no break, there's no pause button, it's just you in this ongoing whirlwind, pulling you further and further away from who you used to be.

OSHO talks-

I Have Called That the New Man – Zorba the Buddha

“First I taught you about trust, the heart, feeling, love; and now I am teaching you about doubt, skepticism, reason, intellect, because I would like you to be a whole man. You can be completely satisfied with trusting, with the heart, but you will not be a whole man. I would not call Mira a whole person, I would not call Ramakrishna a whole person. They are beautiful, but the intellect is missing; it is all heart. It is too much sugar, it creates diabetes. I am diabetic. Too much of the heart, too much sweetness, and you suffer from diabetes – and I don’t want any of you to suffer from diabetes. Yes, just living by the heart you will have spiritual diabetes. Intellect is salty, spicy; it is not all sugar.

“I would like you to enjoy the wholeness of your being, when your body, your heart, your intellect all fall in tune. I have called that the new man – Zorba the Buddha.”

-Osho

Water says to the dirty, “Come here.”

The dirty one says, “But I am so ashamed.”

Water says, “How will you be made clean without me?”

- Mawlānā Rūmī

“An atheist cannot be spiritual. But you must understand that even a theist cannot be spiritual. Because an atheist and a theist are not different. One believes there is God, another believes there is no God. Both of them are believing something that they do not know. You are not sincere enough to admit that you do not know, that’s your problem. So theists and atheists are not different. They are the same people putting up an act of being different. A spiritual seeker is neither a theist nor an atheist. He has realized that he does not know, so he is seeking.”

— Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev (via jiteshkhanna)

“I have named you queen. There are taller than you, taller. There are purer than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen. When you go through the streets No one recognizes you. No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks At the carpet of red gold That you tread as you pass, The nonexistent carpet. And when you appear All the rivers sound In my body, bells Shake the sky, And a hymn fills the world. Only you and I, Only you and I, my love, Listen to it.”

— -Pablo Neruda, Love Poems Get This Book (via awesomebookquotes)

Screw it.
