Karma,因果

Wednesday, February 03, 2010

自从印度回来以后，昨天第一次回去上瑜珈课。
看到以往一起练习的朋友，觉得很开心。
老师和朋友都以一句“你回来啦！” 和“好久不见” 来问候彼此。
有种回到《家》的感觉，挺享受的。

老师教课的方式往往都会传达一些启发人生的讯息。
昨天他就说了关于“業”，“KARMA” 的道理。

一个人的一生可以用一个形状来形容。

圆圈。

英文有一句话说，"What you reap,is what you sow".

这句话说的好。

就跟我在印度看到那些农夫耕田的道理一样。
如果农夫能以“细心”和“耐心”的心态来把自己的田耕好，收获自然而然就回一定的成绩。
相反的，如果农夫以“懒惰”和“贪小便宜”的态度来过活，那么因果要自负。

一家人的生活器具都靠‘您’的态度来维持，所以这些农夫都用着自己对家人的那份真诚的爱心来增加田里的收获。

人生也一样。

你所看到，听到和体验到的事都跟你自己的心态有一定的相连。

如果一个人的心是那么的狭窄，任何一件事情都以自己的观念来执行的话，要成功的概率肯定不高。

人生的经验，和价值观都只会停留在那个阶段。
心要开，思想要懂得怎么控制，才会成功。
不仅是在事业上，家庭里，连自己的身心灵都会体验到不同的感觉。

当然，当你付出的时候，最好不要有任何回报的要求或期望。
因为期望往往只会带来痛苦。

所谓的因果要我们了解的是，你付出的，无论好或坏的事情和念头，都会顺着“圆圈”，回到原点。
原点就是自己了。

我们也不要拿自己的生活形态来跟别人对比。
你或许有过这样的念头，就是觉得自己的命不好，然后怨天怨地没有好好的善待您的生活。

试问自己，一个人要怎么判断说自己的人生是好命还是不好呢？

A）生活器具一切都好。家人都很体谅和爱护她。但是健康就是有一些状况。
B）平穷，一天都不知道能不能吃三餐，又或者不知道还会不会看到隔天的日出。但是他有一位深爱着他的老婆和爱护他的家人。能不顾一切的为他付出，而不请求任何的回报，只要一家人开开心心的过每一秒就心满意足了。

你能说A者过的比B者好吗？
又或者说B者过得比A好？

一切的判断都来之于个人的思想和前世有关。
不管你信不信都好，事实如此。

最后，附上一句个人正在积极做的事情。

那就是：Serve,Love and Give.

Change made me realise that...

Monday, January 25, 2010

Change is the only constant.

Been back from India for about a week, and realise I have change so much.

For every situation that I am being presented with,I realise how I deal with it differently as compare to the old-Yuen Ling.
I am much bolder,confident and stronger,on the emotional and physical level.
I really have to thank so many people but especially to the one who made me return to India.

Also,to the wonderful people whom I met while I'm in India.

They gave me the chance to evolve.
They show me the light.
I know I have been saying that again AND AGAIN,but one can never stop praising,because each one of them are my benefactor,my saviour.

My parents.
They are my pride and joy.
You never realise how good your family are,until the day when you fall and look around,and find that your parents are the ones who would stand by you,no matter what happens.
Those people you meet outside,your friends,your lovers,whoever they may be,can be so exceptionally nice to you.

It's as if they are the only real "Friends" or "Loved ones" you ever have.

But,I want people to know that,no matter how nice they can be,at the end,the only people who would sacrifice anything and everything,who would not ask for any form of return for all the goodness and love they give,are your parents.
Your family.
Never ever suspect the love they have for you,for the job of suspecting is left for the police,not you.

Never determined how much love they have given you,for quatities are only used for measuring the amount of rain that falls.

Serve,Love and Give, Ling.

Saturday, January 23, 2010

Have I loose in this game?

Actually,I did not..
It's better to have love than to never love at all.
At least,I understand that love is not restricting to just one person or a specific group.
It should be for everyone.

Serve,Love and Give,Ling.

I'll move on.
It's the best I can do.
After all,what I wish for you is that,all the best,good,happy and lovely things come into your life.
I hope she is one of those.
Serve,Love and Give, Ling.

Play it boy

Friday, January 22, 2010

Life begins when one travels outside of their comfort zone.
For me,it begins when I travel outside of ashram,alone,for the first time.
India is challenging and unexpected.
You never know what is going to happen along the way.
Sometimes,the surprises that jump out of nowhere may hit you strong and hard on the face,leaving you feeling helpless for a tiny moment.
But always,what hits you or tear you down(whatever it is!),will make you stronger and smarter for the next challenge.

India open up my heart,making me stronger and more accepting to all things(animate/inanimate).
India made me love courageously and really loving whatever it is at every moment.
It might not always be successful,after all the level of awareness is still not enough.
But when somethings are meant to stay,like loving,no matter how hard you try to hide,avoid or ignore,for sure,it ain't going to happen.

People fall in and out of love because the faith is not there.
The feelings are not shared and talked about openly.
The facade that each one is trying to hide behind is so fragile,that when it breaks,it hurts so terribly.
The wall that builds up bit by bit,from the past few years of your life stops you from loving,honestly,openly and courageously.

Love is covered up by gadgets,eletronic devices or whatever you call those metal scraps.
Can a few quizzes tell you how happy you are,how your future is going to be like,who is the love of your life or however way you will die?
Your happiness is guranteed by how you make the most out of every moment.
Your future is within you in this present moment.
Your love is there all along if you would open up your heart to feel.
You will die in a way that the satisfaction from serving,loving and giving starts to eat you up,so much so that,only your heart is left there on your deathbed,alive and pumping with all the experiences life had offered you.

Open your heart for once,not for me or anybody else,but for yourself.
You can close your eyes and turn away from truth,but you should know that,nobody can ever run away from truth.
Every corner you turn to,every step you move away from,Truth follows.

The ball is at your court now.

Play it boy,play it sober and with love.

I'll always remember...

I'll never forget,

how you took my breath away,

the first time we met.

No matter what happens...

no matter what we do,

I'll always remember the first time I saw you.

India;an unfinished job

Thursday, January 21, 2010

It sure feels good to be home.
I can be pretty weird sometimes.
Just 11 months ago,I wanted to go India so badly.
Maybe it's because of some other SPECIAL reason that make me want to go back..
But never mind that for now.

I daresay,India is an unfinished job.
It is definitely going to be one journey that I can never forget for the rest of my life.
If there is a next life and the next,I want those memories that took place when I was in Aurangabad(India) to stay in each and every single cell of my body,forever.
It is one of the most important reason why I went back.
I did it and felt it was time to come home.

Weirdly,a part of me is saying that I would be back to India to finish what's left.
And,it is saying that the next time I go back,I would stay.

I just want you to tell me the truth,so I can let go.
Doesn't matter if it hurts,because I will be strong enough to deal with it.

Lessons I learn from a box of chocolate

Sunday, October 04, 2009

Image via Wikipedia

Been having hunger pangs in the middle of the night recently.
Well,actually most of the time.
Maybe it's because I have been trying to stay off the no-sugar and no-fat diet.
I don't know.
All I know is that I must not suppress hunger and need to have a balance somewhere in-between.
Life is about balancing isn't it?
Too much of this or that would not be too good.
Balanced everywhere.

And so,as I was saying about having hunger pangs in the middle of the night, I woke up last night to have chocolate!

Haven't had one for ages and my friend left a pack for me before she left for Singapore.

It is a big bag of assorted chocolate with colorful wrappers.

No girls could ever resist that!

Anyway,there was just so many chocolate inside and I don't know which to choose from.

So I randomly picked one and open it.
Look pretty much normal on the outside,I thought.
But once I took a bite of it,I was surprised!
Dates?
Fresh dates.

It may seem like a weird combination and it does taste a bit funny in the mouth also.

I couldn't resist teh temptation and took out another chocolate.
Opps!
Something "flowed out"-cherry syrup!
Sweet!

I love it!

Then this thought came into my mind.
That life is indeed full of surprises.
At every moment,it is so unpredictable.
At times,it may seem so horrible that you just feel like running away and never have to face whatever it is that is troubling you.
Or sometimes there is just so much happiness in you that make you sing so happily from the heart and could affect anybody who comes within 1 metre away from you.
These ups and downs in life are like having chocolates.
You don't know what's in it till you be in it.
And that's life.

Be in every moment,for whatever that happens.

Savour it bit by bit.
And then once it's over, let go and start all over again.

At the ashram

Saturday, September 19, 2009

Staying in the ashram have allowed me to view life with a totally diferent perspective.
Some may think that an ashram is just like a temple where you do praying, eat, sleep and do nothing for the rest of the time.
Some would say it's a boring place to be in, surrounded by nature and cut off from the society.
And "I need my laptop!".

For me,it is a place where I discover, where I experience, where life unfolds it's deepest secret and revealing a whole new world of love, joy and peace.
Ashram is a place for growth, not on the materialistic part of life, not the physical part of the body, but the everlasting and pure divinity within.

Life slows down when you are in the ashram, and for some, it may not be a good thing, because of the habit of constantly being on the move and having so little time for ourselves.
But for others,it is a good thing for them.
Because of what they are going to experience in the ashram environment, where everything is just back to nature, back to the starting point.
It may seem like a far, long and never-ending journey.
An arduous journey.
But eventually, you experience for yourself one of the best and the VERY best things within yourself.

Slowing down actually help you to develop awareness.
That awareness of not just what other people are doing or saying,but internally,what is going on in the mind.
It does not matter what you're thinking or feeling,but just having that awareness of what is goimg on inside would do good for people in their daily lives.

I am definitely enjoying all of these special moments, even though sometimes it may feel as if it is a tad much for me to take it.
But really,understanding the situation or events make me feel satisfied and happy.
Awareness goes hand inhand with understanding.
I am just so glad to be having wonderful teachers, like kate and Ghandhar-ji, who really work selflessly and...
Supoortively.
And with different people I meet from different batch,they have also unknowingly made me understand and see whole lot more things that I have never seen or experience when I'm back home.

Hari Om to all of them
