Any living organism, would have a body, with an emotion, kindled with a spirit. The most evolved of its kind, to introspect/retrospect beyond its limitations/possibilities. To, holistically/spiritually.. come up with words such as perseverance for probabilities, for a better life after /liberation. Would Spirit then mean 'Sanctifying/ Solidifying, power, in radiating, its truth'. The saying goes, 'Everything is fair in love and war', to have omitted a crucial sentence after that is....for the ignorant. To be, completed holistically as.. ' Everything is fair in love and war, for the ignorant. The literal manifestation/implication, of the word spirit, is to elevate/rise, the level of once consciousness to the next platform. To summaries, the essence of every understanding/undertaking....'Ask you will receive,Seek you will find, Knock and the door will be opened to you'....thus, Patience is a virtue and arrogance is a cultivated art..to nurture/cultivate, what 'Spirit', within self/other, is a classic optic/inSightful choice..to have sprung out of the five sensual point of perceptions, we know/call it as the sense of sight/smell/taste/touch/noice..to have evolved out of the basic five elements of nature called.. light/water/air/earth/space to our current, circumstantially sparked moment within a quantum known as the time.
The twelve clock coordinates, as given by a spiritual guide/teacher to his listeners on spiritual maturity.
"1. It's when we stop trying to change others and focus on changing ourselves. 2. It is when we accept people as they are.
3. It is when we understand that everyone is correct according to their own perspective.
4. It is when we learn to “let go”.
5. It is when we are able to not have "expectations" in a relationship, and we give of ourselves for the pleasure of giving.
6. It is when we understand that what we do, we do for our own peace.
7. It's when we stop showing the world how smart we are.
8. It's when we stop seeking approval from others.
9. It's when we stop comparing ourselves to others.
10. It is when we are at peace with ourselves.
11. It is when we are able to distinguish between "need" and "want" and we are able to let go of that want.
12. Spiritual maturity is gained when we stop attaching "happiness" to material things!"
Pasting within.."Thanking everyone, for your kind thoughts..on his fourth anniversary.
My father, was a struggling verbal orator/communicator..probably thinking, why to express out something, not so sure /experienced about, and thus create disharmony/ guide some one, into making unFavorable/hasty decisions..be personal/financial. Thus maintaining his silence/isolation, from many opportunities / circumstances.
He provided earnestly/prudently, to his extended / own family members. Today, personally can't recollect/remember him asking , anything back in return..noThing. For instance, after repeated / annoying attempts, he may/would say, 'enal enthu anual kunduva'..(bring what ever, you think deemed). Saw a tinkle in his eyes, when we purchased Chivas Regal. He was not materialistic, in / by inherent nature..what ever, we built/purchased, be a smart phone/watch/dress/luxurious additions..he accepted/admired them gracefully. Felt very often, than one or thousand had the same value. Recollecting of/on his daily rituals..can’t think of him, without earnestly enjoying his well lubricated, daily shower ritual / Wearing well ironed clothes..always wondered..why he had to iron his pocket towels/undergarments. His closet, was a delightful place to peak into. He managed his accounts meticulously, with clarity, as to what is where/how much. He enjoyed privately, to be engaged /attached with the mud/ mother nature. Thus, very often, ended up producing more Chenas(Elephant foot Yam)/Kachil(White Yam)/Chembu(Toaros)/Varazha kulas(Banana planters)…. and had no clue, what to do with it after. Was generous in sharing it with anyone, who turned up during the seasons, without a second taught/hesitation. Have only noticed it lately, that he was generous with birds/creatures who came to feast on them….Can’t remember, to see his temper being lost to such loses. Was over all gentle, with creation in general….can’t think of an occasion, to witness him personally, aggressively chasing away / killing a snake / rat for that matter. He loved /cherished fishing ….saw his delightful sportsmanship, within this craft….probably linked to his fishing expeditions, from his childhood days.
Never advised me on anyThing/anyOne….can’t remember of any specific philosophical conversation with my father. During the last decade of his life, he went daily to the church and closed his eyes, surrendering to the wisdom of the almighty.
He to my underStanding/underTaking, has probably, thus silently reminded/led the seekers, to prob into two words.. unConditional/nonJudgmental, a bit more deeper/wider, which he attempted within his own limitations. Departed, with a lesson, that actions done on time, speaks volumes to words written/spoken towards self/other."
