To Be or To Do?

This deep rooted discontent, this restless-ness; how do you answer some thing when it is already answered or when the question does not exist? How you be content, be complete when you already ARE content and complete? When you have everything you need, it is all already there then what do you seek for?

Where does this need to DO comes from? Always doing something or the other; sitting just like that for sometime or going with the flow has become so un-comfortable.

Even knowing all this does not seem to help it seems. Night and day, good and bad, right and wrong, black and white, all loose their meaning, there is no difference, you feel so un-settled in your thoughts as if you are so out of place. You try to make sense of things, to put them in order, to stick to some rules, ideas, but alas! the nothingness of this existence is a stark reality in your face. Anything and everything can make perfect sense and does not make any sense at the same time.

And the recognition of the absurdity of all this activity and at the same time the presence of it, Haha!
What can be more amusing than this universe in the moment? what can be more sobre? more intoxicated? more humorous? simpler? complicated? more complete and incomplete? fulfilling and upsetting?

All my attempts to label it is itself absurd! what can be said about this? whatever this is and whatever this is not; What can you ask? and why do you ask? even these are questions. The logical structure of this language is fallacious, rather the structure of duality is fallacious. An act of taking is also an act of giving simultaneously. Or is the structure complimentary? pointing to a circle, a completeness that everything is orderly as it happens!

Who can solve all this and contemplate? and to what end? who is there I wonder
yet there IS,
and NOT !

Did You Live This Moment ?

When we miss being somewhere very important which we were really looking forward to, which probably might happen just once in a lifetime, we think if only we could have prepared earlier and would not have done whatever we did because of which we missed it or would have avoided whatever reasons made us miss those events in time.

But if we look at our whole life, probably each and everything just happens only once ! Lets say I write this at this moment, I may imagine I will be writing again sometime sooner or later so whats the difference? but that moment will be entirely different than this one. To take some simple things say our clothes will not be the same, our postures, our state of mind importantly, may be our conditions in our life at that moment, the date of course will be different, your breathing pattern, your body composition such as the water and minerals etc.

So each moment in our whole life is such an amazing event going on that we cannot really afford to miss them. We may label them important or unimportant based on different reasons, pay attention to them or not but they are discrete particulars which will just happen only once and are totally unique in themselves whether we are aware or ignorant of it.

Even our day to day activities such as brushing our teeth may come so alive if we really did it with awareness. If we really try and understand that this is what life is at this moment irrespective of our labels about it then even a simple act of brushing can lead to immense satisfaction because we didn't try to run away from it in any manner but we simple did it.

It seems to me that everything will become simple and clear if we stopped judging or labelling them and start respecting whatever comes in the moment. I remember reading somewhere "someday you will miss today", why miss any moment and then regret or think about it later and even miss that particular moment also?

Live fully wherever you are, whatever you do no matter how insignificant or significant that event is.
