Art of Living...

The art of Living

Has anyone come across this term lately? Well, just a brief introduction its a Meditation course recognized by WHO.

Lately for these 6 days i will be on this course. Started since Tuesday. Basically they've taught us a lot of ways in breathing, meditating etc.

Question comes: "U pay just to learn how to breath? muahahaha" my friends reaction i.e YP who laughed for the whole day...
Breathing was once a piece of cake before i joined this course(though i was forced too at first) but after that you'll know how unhealthy or wrong are we.

Sri Ravi Shankar the founder of Art Of Living....

Well i am not here to tell what kind of breathing lessons i went through because i've signed an agreement not to disclose anything moreover teaching cause it may harm and furthermore i am sure u guys are not interested like me too!...
But there is one story i would like to share.. Read This!

Before reading. Follow my instructions:

1. Put a bunch of keys in front of you.
2. Try to pick it up.
3. Remember! I asked u try to pick it up but NOT TO PICK IT UP!
Can You?

Everyday the class will be divided into few sessions and one is called the Sutra where they'll share some Lessons in Life with us.
Yesterday, one of us were asked toproceed to the front stage and did what i asked u all to do like the above instructions and everyone frowned?!.. don't understand...

The moral of this so called "instructions" began....

Your mind doesn't understands the word: TRY!

She gave two examples:

1. When someone called you and asked: Can u come tomorrow?
You answered: "I'll try..." what does it mean? It means you've planned not to attend isn't it?

2. Imagine this situation: One they when you were on a plane ready for departure, the pilot made an announcement and said this: "Good evening all passengers, it is now 6pm and we are TRYING to leave the land heading towards somewhere..." Wouldn't it be funny?


So never tell yourself you will TRY to do something cause when u said so this means ur mind is still resisting and the more u resist, the more it persists.

Its either you DO IT or YOU DON'T!
