OM NAMA SHIVAYA.

Shiva.
We run the journey from here to now.
In the moment we touch it, it's no longer now.
It's gone. Gone, gone beyond and beyond.
Always gone.
Shiva is the still point.
The dot and the end of the line.
The Dot.
Stop. Start again.
Come back from delusion and confusion of the mind.
Monkey thoughts running wild.
Crazy mind. What to do?
Find devotion, hit the floor, touch your toes.
Over and over again.
Purify your blood for the power of the Holy Spirit.
It's in the blood, and it flows to your heart..
In this Temple that you live in.
There is no more holy place on Earth then this human body you live in.
This bone temple, the bone palace of all the Gods and Goddesses.
Make the building rich to the sacred shine of your own heart.
Drop out of the mind.
Sit still over and over again.
Just stop the dance of endless chatting.
Kali speaks your tongue out.
Because the tongue is the key.
He who rules the tongue, rules the world.
Watch what you say.
Watch your words.
Step back from idle talk.
Stop the gossip.
Stop telling lies.
Stop reading lies.
Stop hearing lies.
This why the saints and the sages are constantly repeating the holy names:
RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM......
Why they are chanting?
Why do the monks chant all the time?
To purify the speech, purify the mouth, the voice, the tongue.
You are what you eat.
Be careful with the food.
You take all the vibration of the people who make it.
Be careful.
Time is running thin my friends, for all of us.
We are here for such a brief moment on this Earth.
And this precious human life is so easy to loose.
And we don't really deal with what really matters.
We constantly step to the right, step to the left.
Always back and forth.
This is why meditation is so powerful a tool.
You sit up straight and you just stay still.
And you sit on the spot.
You just are on it.
And you go through the pain and through the boredom that you deal with.
You deal with it. You just are there.
Into that moment, you give up. Going to the right, going to the left.
You just sit still.
And you follow the breath.
Just became one with the out-breath.
Forget the in breath, just die.
Go out to the space.
Dissolve the mind in to the sky
Make the best use of your life.
Think about this over and over again before you get to bed at night.
One day closer to death.
What have I done today?
Make a note
Take stock of your deeds.
Make your conduct impeccable.
Work on it.
Just start again.
Let go and start again.
One more time, with all your heart.
We bow down and we touch our forehead to the ground.
And we let go.
Find the tear.
Mean it.
Have mercy on you.
Have mercy on you.
Hold yourself so very dear.
You are the living flame of the love of your life.
You are the Light of this life.
Let yourself have it (?)
Karma is for sure
The sharp wheel of weapons returning.
It always will come back and get you.
You can't get away with your actions.
Make them impeccable.
Be careful of what you say.
Be careful of what you eat.
Who you hang out with.
What you do.
Think of death.
Think of the preciousness of this human life.
Think of the fleeting moments.
How they go.
Now it's the time when you still have the strength and the energy to press on.
Keep pressing on,
Follow the breath.
The breath of fire.
Move the blood.
Circulate the Light within your own holy temple.
Everyday remember to remember.
Remember RAM.
