The maker of philosophy
Poem:
Death seems to be a prime producer of philosophy. A comparative study of religion just results in asceticism. When life becomes just survival it is more real. You can hold a personal religious service every morning all alone. What is really needed is a cure for the whole human condition. The way to become a star is first to become forgetful of yourself. The sound current is the only way to tame the obscure dragon which is just your mind. You can still get a Doctorate in Greek, Persian and Sanskrit. You can hoard spiritual books and then just open them at random if you are not sure of which way to go. Your Zabuton can be your intensive palliative care unit operating way ahead of schedule. You can just sit cross-legged and go up to a second plane as described by Plato. Not conquering death is the same thing as doing nothing. If you play handball volleyball and tennis you can end up being very muscular. The pain on the horizon can be met dead on. You could be like a historian and know of future disasters just by repetition as God’s Will. You could love Sophia which is withdrawal and be a Philosopher. You can sit in formal contemplation like a high priest instead of just casually. That way you can reach the epicenter. By the time the CoronaVirus comes to you you will be fully enlightened. You can meditate all night and day long. Instead of wasting you time in entertainment you can become a big part of the containment. Your legs can be recalibrated to last until 130. You can go on my retreat which is in the middle of Central Park. They can not limit very small gatherings. You can learn that which is lasting instead of keep on grasping. You can reach the silence that is necessary to heal your body. If you can sparkle with light you can maintain a lot of fight. You can change your travel plans to just going to Sat Naam. You can just say Simran each time you hit the ball. It is not wrong to play tennis and handball if you want to remain head strong. The way to start your day is to sit in long timeframe meditation until you go into a merger. When you finish your day can already be complete. I went to this week’s electronic satsang but the number that attended was only one in five million. The relentless pace of material expression without exception has just been too much and needs to slow down to make way for more contemplation. You can just withdraw to the second floor and go through the door. It is ok to just be alone and hoard a lot of Bliss. You can add a lot of meditation sessions if you just eat less.
