Is stillness sterile?

Many of us are experiencing ourselves in a forced stillness in the lockdown period and feel un purposeful and unproductive. For eons, we have believed in the capacity and intention of action to achieve a state of fullness and viability.

At this standstill of time, where most of us are restricted in our movement, interactions and more, the mind is bound to slip into a self critical state of being a useless nobody with nothing great to do or aim for either. The paralysis of action is a grappling enigma for the egoic mind which has its identity erected out of a urgency of purpose. So how is one to cope with this futility of purpose and goal while we all go through the hibernation season for humanity? A keen acceptance and complete inner surrender is the key. To see the world situation with a certain indifference is a mandate. Might sound uncompassionate to many but when one falls in the meditative and allowing space of self surrender, one sees clearly that it was merely an ego aggression to offer to make a difference to what truly is unfolding. At this point, stillness takes over. This stillness should not be mistaken for a sterile end point but is a collosum to a mighty beginning. As one hibernates and performs inaction, one gears up for mindful action in the most appropriate way.

Can we prepare ourselves before a launch in this stillness or are we too unstable and unready for it? It's a great opportunity to do some deep reflections, and have the banana cake you have always wanted to..

Give up the bait of action and allow the try self to shine from within in this sacred altar of stillness and soberity.

Allow...

Allow...

Gongyo is to recite the Lotus Sutra and chant Daimoku in front of the Gohonzon. The practitioners of Nichiren Shoshu have been carrying out the practice of Gongyo since the time of Nichiren Daishonin and Nikko Shonin. We recite the first part of the Hoben (“Expedient Means”-2nd) Chapter and the entire Juryo (“Life Span”- 16th) Chapter of the sutra and chant the Daimoku – Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo – to the Gohonzon.

Practicing morning and evening Gongyo allows us to purify our lives, establish a happy life condition, and create our own desirable futures. Performing Gongyo every day without fail is a critical aspect of our practice.

We perform all five silent prayers in the morning and three silent prayers (the second, the third and the fifth silent prayers) in the evening.

Mere Mann Me Sukh Bhar Aaya

Teri Kripa Ko Maine Paya

Teri Daya Ko Maine Paya

Tere Naam Ka Sumiran Karke

Mere Mann Me Sukh Bhar Aaya

Duniya Ki Thokar Khakar

Tera Tujhi Koday

Teri Daya Ko Maine Paya

Tere Naam Ka Sumiran Karke

Mere Mann Me Sukh Bhar Aaya

A lifetime is lived in searching for love, then living it out followed by the last step of transcending it. It's a full circle of occurance which each soul passes through. The seeking ...exhilirating and enticing keeps the juices flowing and the butterflies fluttering around in the stomach. The shadow of a faceless lover keeps appearing as an invitation to dissolve in the beloved's call for union. On arrival, one finds himself facing a mirror which keeps reflecting one's own shades of persona, feelings and being. In this association, one experiences the plethora of human emotion that's available and is distracted from the real search of the true self. The maaya of emotion keeps the attention and awareness outward focussed and is on the mercy of the tossing turning of the lover. The sweet melody of this love song is too good to decline and the landscapes of emotions too welcoming to ignore. The trap is all set and the ignorant one falls into it...sometimes even when one is too aware to see it..still the succumbing to love is allmost impossible. Nobody really knows why...Maybe it is a part of the plan of growing up or awakening. Swooning to the erotica of love and high on it's pangs... One forgets the impermanance of the association. When death, suffering or distance suddenly jolt one from the dream, it comes to a knowing that the ephemeral and fleeting nature of relationship cannot be tagged alongside eternally. It must end some day and leave behind a wound..a wound that scars, aches , bleeds and silently shouts out for balm and succor. In the lonely woods of a lost love, one wanders from tree to tree searching for familiar signposts and finds himself lost in the maze of memories. This phase also eventually does end as does everything else and one arrives at a point of reflection where one has transcended the myth of love and can no longer return to it's sweet enticement. at this point of Transcendence, one continues to participate and yet know it's illusion and bigotry. The alchemic revelation of love finally ends at it's Transcendence and passing over.

The yoga of relationships is a ever available playground where we can practise the concomitant occurance of need, presence and awakening. How can two lovers possibly awaken together without renunciating the passionate longing for each other? Sounds like a maze but a conscious practise of awareness is all that's needed. Identity traps are the biggest things that seize our attention in the deepest of our associations. We remain trapped as being who we are to the other and allmost terrorizing the other to be similarly so. Because even if one of us looses the garb of identity, his nakedness begins to threaten the ruin of their relationship. It's like a death knell as how could you possibly romance a nobody. The whole illusion of the shared palace of the relationship stands shattered in the face of such calamity. Who will we be when we can't even be ourselves anymore..it's scary and death like. We want to be enlightened...sure but we would like to still hold on to our closest ones too. It sounds paradoxical and strange. But surely it's possible to co exist in deeply loving ways to our dear ones and still not fall into the trap of belonging any place. This is possible when both the participants are honestly seeking an awakening and have a will to move in tandem and awareness. It's easy to get lost in the dramas of relationships when one comes from a place of deep identifications of one self and other. The perpetual trial to tailor make relationship according to these identities with it's likes and dislikes becomes the main agenda and the real idea of evolution from the mundane attachment is forgotten. The same relationship that heals, solace's and supports becomes a binge of pain and pleasure alternating itself cyclically..it becomes a trap rather than an open sky of freedom and oneness. So if you are lucky and have someone who wishes to awaken with you while you both are in love...it's a precious and rare blessing of a lifetime. Go all out, practise the yoga of relationships with compassion and awareness and knead yourself into a true oneness of being
