Man's greatest longing is for freedom. Man is a longing for freedom. Freedom is the very essential core of human consciousness: Love is its circumference and freedom is its center. These two fulfilled, life has no regret. And they both are fulfilled together, never separately.
People have tried to fulfill love without freedom. Then love brings more and more misery, more and more bondage. Then love is not what one has expected it to be; it turns out just the opposite. It shatters all hopes, it destroys all expectations, and life becomes a wasteland, a groping in darkness and never finding the door. How to get there? Loving with freedom. Any ideas?

Closest to myself.
I saw a flower today , it was orange and yellow with a bit of reddish tinge. I think it was flox and so very beautiful that I could not help staring at it endlessly. Somehow it filled me with a sense of great joy , an amazing feeling of feeling so so close to my being. Later I felt as if my heart had converted to that flower and slowly opening. A warm blissful divine feeling. Thank you God.

Two paths
It was one of those intimate moments you have with your own self when I was just walking through my entire life , what it is , what it was and what it is likely to be.Just as any other person's life it has been eventful , at times absolutely blissful, sometimes crazy and at yet other times totally incomprehensible. What is it that makes me me and what is it that makes my life the way it is? The answer is suprisingly simple...... there have always been two or more paths in front of me and which one I have chosen to take has decided what I am today and what my life is today. I remember reading the following somewhere:
"There always two choices in life. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all."
I was just wondering how many times I have taken the choice to be! Perhaps not enough times. May be this is the time make this resolve. How do I want my life to be , yes that is the starting point. I have to sow the right seed in my entire being to reach there. Every moment , every pore of myself has to dream that. Easy to say I think but I am going to give it a sincere try.

Strange Dream!
Last night I had a really strange dream. I saw myself and my dog taking a walk and we were really enjoying it. As we drew closer to home I picked him up and suddenly I saw that I had the dog in my arms as well as on the ground, there were two of them!! Then I saw myself in kitchen and after I had finished cooking I stepped out and lo and behold there was one of me in kitchen and one outside!! Then I saw a freind coming towards me and as he came closer I saw one of him standing at a distance and another of him walking towards me. And as I tried to understand what was going on I tried to feel each of the second incarnations and there was no physical body in any of them including myself. I woke up with a rather pleasant feeling underlined with an immense desire to experience myself in more ways. Trying to figure out, any ideas?
