Are you looking for me?
Look a little closely!
Am I in the Stupa, am I in the Shrine?
You really want me, or just images of mine?
… a little closely!
The crowds in the Ashram are all misled,
What you call as Yoga is such a dread,
It’s stupid to wind your legs round your head.
… a little closely!
When you really look for me,
You need no Sadhna, just basic honesty,
From hopes, methods, and future, set yourself free.
… a little closely!
Watch your choice of words, watch your cup of tea,
Watch your violent fears, watch your ugly modesty.
Watch the flesh you eat, watch that bird,
Watch the tree…
… a little closely!
Seek no Moksha, chase no God,
Chase is fear, fear is death.
How near is Truth,
As near is your breath.
Are you looking for me?
Are you looking for me?
Are you looking for me?
Are you looking for me?
COME CLOSE INSTANTLY!!

How did the Buddha look then? Who is the Buddha? Let’s try to understand with the story of Gautama Buddha, The ‘Shakya Muni Buddha’ as we call him. So, who was he? Let’s look at his central characteristics. One, someone who is well versed in the knowledge of his time. Buddha had deep scriptural knowledge. He was born in a Hindu Kshatriya family, he was a prince and ever since his childhood he was quite talented. So, one thing about him is that he was quite well-read. Second thing is, he was deeply interested in knowing the depths of life. He did not want to remain merely at the superficial levels, so he would observe a lot, he would think a lot. https://acharyaprashant.org/en/articles/todays-buddha-1_4d1b6bf
"I am fully in support of learning in all ways from everywhere and everybody but I am not at all in support of foolishness and hypocrisy. Get the difference please. I am absolutely in support of learning from wherever it is possible to learn but I am not at all in support of using the various avenues to learn to not to learn."
“Enjoy the moment! Go with the flow!” What is that flow? Where is it coming from? Why should I go with it? Why don’t you just pause and ask, which flow are we talking of?
