A Raison d’etre

A Raison d’être Poem: Going shopping is not a Raison d’être nor is watching TV or complaining. A real meaningful Raison d’être is like meditating three times a day and structuring the rest of your day around it. External errands are often just excuses and are unnecessary. That’s why I say Enlightenment is the same as Lifestyle. The man with the poor diet who is not celibate gets exhausted easily, which is very satisfying to the negative power. It requires a lot of discrimination to not be too materialistic. You can try mixing Feng Shui with minimalism. Meditating and then exercising is like inner bliss doubling. You can almost glow afterwards. You can decide not to engage in any debilitating sins after experiencing all the bliss within, setting the stage for even higher states. Ranting and raving will just make you crazy. If you just shop and watch TV you become willy-nilly and wishy-washy as well as lazy not to mention ambivalent and whiny as well as loose and goosey. People can also get goofy or emotional if they don’t rise above it all very regularly. I try to remember my purpose continuously and maintain the ball of fire way up in the sky. Simran at 3am is my surprise package resulting in effacement as well as elation. To not be tired at 3am indicates that your behavior was very proper and you took carefully every health measure. You could receive God’s blessing which might be better than just sleeping. Meditation and exercise are my too sweet sources of bliss. For peace and quiet I have reading. To escape dense thoughts I use Simran or Zikhr as my ice breaker. Frequent sitting helps train the brain and legs for going within. Your sitting can be very grand and eloquent depending on your attitude. Sitting frequently is one thing but then sitting until you reach the inner Master is another. Some just read the Guru Granth and think they are done. An extremely long sitting can be done better if you are not very materialistic. The Sikhs might think that the Muslims are just people of the book (the Quran) while the Radha Swamis might think the Sikhs are just “People of the Book” the GuruGranth while the Beas satsang may just be considered orthodox. The pattern remains the same. The pattern of history is to criticize and complain. It may be better to just be ecumenical and recommend dialogue and live in Tubingen. The purpose of life could be to make your own body the church. A standard alteration can be achieved with Absolute Submission. Taking Joy from routine is very bourgeoise and stupid but the mind’s preference for repetition can be utilized also for meditation.
