Walk on the middle path!

    Today morning I stumbled upon a video from Swami Mukundananda that was quite interesting. It was titled "Shri Krishna's Ultimate Advice to Achieve Success And Happiness in Life". A simple story of how Buddha got his insight from a song sang by a group of village women on their way to fetching the water. If you are truly listening, we are bound to get the message from the universe. As Buddha found the middle path of living, the same as advised by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, leave the extremes and follow the moderation in everything. You see tighten the strings in Tanpura, but too much tightening will break it.  I am sure my day started good with this note.

     Its the same thing even Rumi has quoted. As usual the enlightened ones have got their senses right, don't you think so? Not that I am judging them. It is the result of the wisdom they receive when you seek the absolute truth.  

    Even in the yin-yang symbol, there is a middle path. We all are to acknowledge that there is a yin in yang and vice-versa. But as a human you have a choice to not choose both. Just remain still or rather absolute still. It does remind me of Lord Shiva, whose true nature is absolute stillness and absolute movement. Even in his dance, he has found the stillness. Amazing isn't? 

    Let me end this blog with a happy note. I am yet to find my middle path, but I surely will find it. If you are searching for it too, drop me a comment.
