“My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them,you’ll fail.
My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?
If you want to know me,
Look inside your heart.”
-Lao Tzu
(570-490 BC)
To see things in the seed, that is genius.
-Lao Tzu

seed of which we all bring in our closed hands
to plant in this world to make it
a tree of happiness.

happiness is tree of divine
making seed of love into tree of happiness is genius in life

“When goodness is lost there is morality.”
-Lao Tzu
(570-490 BC)
ram0ram footnote
Good and God’s morning
the night before had dinner with my grand child Yajvin
who is 7 years old but with a mind of spiritual scientist ……..
and every time we meet he has a question ……
and this time question ……. is God inside me ? as everybody tells …….
yes ….. very true
why can not I see it ? ……. ask Yajvin
God means Goodness of Divine …… as Goodness God is in you .
then tell me what is goodness ? Yajvin ask again
nature of your soul
what is the soul ? another question from Yajvin
Soul is Source of universal love …….
your source of your life ……
and
God or universal soul is source of everything ……. including your soul .
it means I am always connected with universal soul
and nature of universal soul is love
and now I understand why I hug you . ……… explains yajvin
to put in few words Goodness is God ……
and eternal happiness is essence of goodness ……
so whatever brings us happiness is nature of God …..
have a torch of happiness and explore God
my grandson in love calls me dadu ……
last time when we met …..
we visited Red Fort and National Museum In New Delhi , India ….
so this time he brings a thank you card for me ……
as he is learning to play Tennis so with his signature draws a racket also ……
in my view when he hugs me ……. that is goodness ,
and when he gives me a card ……. that is morality …..
when we become God-loving ……. that is Goodness ….
when we become God-fearing ……. that is morality ….
Goodness has two OO …..
one O is our soul and another O is our body ……
yoga is science of bring them together to feel one O ……
feeling one O brings God inside
in oneness …… there is goodness
in duality …….there is morality .
goodness …… is feeling of zero
morality is law of positive and negative .

“When there is no desire,
all things are at peace.”
-Lao Tzu
(570-490 BC)
ram0ram footnote
there is no way to tell absolute truth as well as absolute untruth also .
having no desire also is a desire only so what exactly Lao Tzu want us to understand …..
Indian Language Hindi is so simple and scientific ….. one thing good about it is as it is spoken so also is written ……. so are most of the languages of the world
but since Born in India
so understand Indian Language Hindi …… will show you from the Hindi words below essence of wisdom hidden behind these words ….. which will give us help to understand Lao Tzu words of wisdom …
मन ( man) = there is no equivalent word in English but nearest word is ….MIND …..
but मन is a bridge between body and soul …..
In Indian Mythological story Ramayana it is represented by 10 head
demon RAVANA …. each head representing our senses …..
मनन ( manan )= Analysis of a subject deeply inside brain …..
the micro vision …it like churning the ocean or mind ……
again a epic story Samudra Manthan ……
a symbol of fight between good and bad ….. positive and negative thinking …..
Demons are called ASUR means no harmony ……
Gods are called SUR means harmony ……
and out of this comes is nectar that is AMRITA …..
the timelessness …..
all spiritual practices are tools to find this AMRITA or timelessness ……
and NAMASTE is symbol of respact to timelessness in each other ….
नमन (naman) = it means no desire but true meaning
is
the bow to the wish of divine ……
it is a wisdom word which remains same even we reverse it ……
and is a key to keep a balance of mind in good or bad situations ……
in India people take good or bad happening in life as wish of God
so
remain more clam and need much less physiological help .
अमन (aman ) = its true meaning is peace
and happens with balance of mind brings neutral
and natural harmony brings peace and puts us at center of our being
….. Lord RAMA in the picture at top puts an arrow in the naval which is the root chakra even in atom the center is neutral zero …..
living with zero is SUNAYATA and that is absolute peace
सुमन (suman) = it means the flower
and absolute peace flowers our soul ….
flower is a symbol of enlightenment ……
softness and sensitivity of heart ……
चमन (chaman ) = it means Garden of soul flowers …..
fragrance to be in this world …..
living with the fragrance is enlightenment .

Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Controlling without authority,
This is love.
-Lao Tzu

“A human with outward courage dares to die;
a human with inner courage dares to live.”
― Lao Tzu
ram0ram footnote
Difficult roles in the film are given to the best artists only ……
only great artist justify their roles ….
so have respect and admiration for the human in difficult roles …….
as we are not the director of the film (GOD ) …….
to change their roles
but we all should carry appreciation
for
their spirit to live …..
and
salute their inner courage and love for life.
love all

“If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.”
-Lao Tzu
(570-490 BC )
Good and God’s evening ………
Evening is a beautiful dimension …….. neither light nor darkness …….. it is like present …….. which is neither past or future ………
past and future are like two lips ……. between the two lips of time ……… timelessness smiles as present ……..
time is a linear dimension …….. like two ends of a rope ………. past and future ……… and life stretches between these two ends moving in different direction ……… so time itself is a stress generator ……….. human body is dimension of time so stress is a natural phenomenon .
timelessness is a vertical dimension ………. meeting of two opposite ……… like two hands of time which are past and future …….. Namaste is representation of yoga of past and future , the togetherness of time ( body ) and timeless ( soul ) …. present is a feeling which comes with the meeting of past and future ……. present is zero ……. the SUNAYATA ……. which is neither positive nor negative …….. but beyond both .
Indian Philosophy or more precisely Indian mythology is very scientific when it explains character of God through mythological story of NARSINGH AVATAR ………. the incarnation of God as half man half lion ……. the time of incarnation is evening …….. which is neither light nor darkness ……… body is neither human or animal …….. place ….. neither inside nor outside ………. it is a description of neutral energy zero many of us call it ……. OM , ALLAH , GOD …… Zero or Sunyata .
Modern science has made it easier for a common human to understand God or energy zero ………. as per great scientist Albert Einstein …… the entire cosmos is governed by a common Law …….. which is evident from the energy equation of atom and cosmos .
present is zero ……. happiness is zero …….. evening is zero …….. zero is nature of divine .
words are philosophies ……… smile is true religion of world …….
smile is S MILE ……. which is sensitive mile .. …….measure the distance of life with sensitive mile …….. be a smile of divine …….
smile is true richness of life ……
be a rich person ……

You are stuck in the past… whether that past belief brought you success or feeling of comfort… the fact remains that LIFE CHANGES FAST… and WE ALL HAVE TO ADAPT quickly with the right reason. If not, we become obsolete in thinking and feel odd… or we lose the idea, product, business or the person who is really perfect for the company, the market… or the person for you.
Sometimes, it’s just too much pride to take back a stand that’s proven wrong that stops us to shift to what is better and after all — MORE RIGHT… and move forward to progress.
Life is tough, we all know that. By wise examples around us, the best way to deal with it is to BE PRESENT in the NOW.. and LET LIFE FLOW as it unfolds and deal around it. But let’s not throw caution to the wind. Take calculating steps. Study the risks versus the returns. BE OPEN.
Like water, try handling the obstacle or new with blissful surrender, flow around it gently and not resist or fight it. We don’t have to resent the new or obstacle — or take it personally with anger. We can simply work with the new or the obstacle; and adapt its path that is leading us somewhere — to GROW.
The operative words here are….. ADAPT… FLEX… BEND… ADJUST…
If you remain solid on something and there is a problem, a deviation or an obstacle, you can hit head-on collision. With yourself. And LIFE. Why not try… change that solid stand into open thoughts.. gentle words…and fluid actions. The wisdom of the WATER allows us to take life with greater joy.
Close your eyes now….. let your thoughts just flow… drift away… empty out… Be still… and feel the NOW within you.
Just GO WITH THE FLOW… and life will naturally flow on its own to your path with the least effort. You will find genuine joy and peace.
I wish you happy fluid thoughts today that make you smile with endless DELIGHT!
