Ultimately, most people would view that as death, Desh. Really nice piece, though....suits me.

Hello again, Desh Kapoor!

Good to see and speak to a genuinely real person today.

Intentblog is currently swarming with fake and illusive creatures.

Perchance, you may come upon the opportunity to speak to one today.

Good luck with your discretion in the midst of this politically-charged chaos!

Hold your nose! The smell of ammonia is potent, but cleanliness

is above godliness and a hot bath might just wash away my sins.

Why do they color glass cleaner blue? Just so's we won't drink it?

.

We absolutely despise being bored, but we abhor unfortunate surprises! What's up with that?

.

I'll shuttle off now--Cheers!

One thing with you, Keith. You'll never die while I'm around glass, neither will I get blue.

I'll chuckle off now, cheering for ya.

Good morning/evening, Desh-the-strong. Thanks for a sunny Weekly Intent. It's good to see your photo at the top of the leader board today.

love, h

Hello Desh and Everyone,

Desh, long time no see :) nice piece, and you write,

"If you cannot enjoy the current moment in its full-ness... the hurt, the joy, the anger, the happiness... then it is not possible to be curious of the next moment. Because if you cannot enjoy all the emotions of the current moment, then you take a baggage to the next"

That is so true..cleaning out the emotional closets were we store our left over emotional baggage is a necessary task, I have found.

have a wonderful day, ruth

Nice Desh!

Nice article, Desh!!

Just about every working person dreams of non-working; yet, it is a proven fact, that work keeps a person rather "sane" and regularity of life, brings harmony of balance.

But, I think that the cost of living is so high now, that working folks have to work incredibly long, many hours to support their families, hereby they end up resenting the structure of the working-class.

Many folks think I'm lucky, because I cannot work; but, to me.. I miss the ability to be self-supportive; I miss out on opportunity for life-advancements. I miss the structure of a job, the social contact--accumulating social capitol(community contacts) and the ability to make friends in a work-place environment! No.. I am not the lucky one... people whom can work, are the lucky ones--however much they "learn" to hate their jobs--they just don't know really, how lucky they are to work.. until they cannot.

Love,
North

Thanks, Desh. Lots of good food for thought. I needed that perspective.
Love, Grace

Hi All:

Thanks so much! Just got up to see the responses! When you live in sunny Texas, its rather tough to not feel upbeat! :-)

Cheers,
Desh

I think your Articulation of the Nature is more Juicy and Colourful and brings more Freshness than the recent Monotonous Announcements by Deepak or Avatar Seeker Singh...

Mr Avatar Seeker Singh's CRAP or HQR blogs keep on shouting the same Rhyme "Dissolve the Ego, Dissolve the Ego, Be an Observer, Be An Observer"

But the moment I taste the Nature I feel it's SALTINESS, it's SWEETNESS, it's SOURNESS. Why DISSOLVE THAT?

Can IB discussions evolve to the next dimension?

What about the Question "Why Nature Crystalizes as a Finite Ego from the Infinite Possibilities?

#10 That's easy, QandA. It's the ego wot does it. Which begs the question; 'is the ego finito at all a tall?'

eh?

QandA:

Thanks for your good words!

This question of why Infinite gives birth to FInite has been my quest for long. We had discussed it in this post long back:

http://www.intentblog.com/archives/2006/11/a_special_post.html

But in my readings and thinking there has been only ONE interpretation which has resonated with the correct way to look at this:

"Why" and "How" imply a cause and effect. This question is a useless question from the "other side".

That's what Vivekananda said in one lecture - something to that effect.. not the same words.. Actually he drew a picture for this.

So that crystallization happens in the choices that we make. Now to say - dont make any choices - is just nonsensical mumbo jumbo.. the best you can do is to be AWARE that you are doing so. Just being aware of your act I believe gives you immense power to go beyond it. Just my take.

Cheers,
Desh

It seems weird to me this author, an intentBlog reader had submitted 5 Weekly Intent post in 2007 but the other regular readers and some of those with public online profiles have shown least interest in submitting any articles although they have huge potential, immense creativity and original thought -- as seen from their active comments in the Open Thread and other threads -- which if channeled with a little efforts would make much better blog posts to read.

Desh,

Thanks for your insight and story. I share your spirit of celebration. It's a way, a flow, that turns things around making a gray moment sunny and bright.

Look at the window and be honest with yourself

Be honest

You know once in the street you forget your dreams

You become a cupid man, an easy prey...

Desh.. your posts are always awesome... thought provoking... and usually something I relate to..
