Best Book

There are a lot of books today written by different authors on various topics. And each author or book is promoting that it is the best. It includes me (ha.ha..). But honestly, have you thought anytime which could be the best and only book to read. Probably No.

It is the book of our own life. Does it sound funny? But yes, most of us haven’t gone through it with awareness. My life and its experience is important to me and your life and its experience is important to you. But what does the book of our own life mean ? I am putting some questions below. Just answer them honestly and you will come to know automatically:

1. When you wake up in the morning, do you observe or feel your body or breath sensations ?
2. When you brush your teeth, do you observe or feel the brush and toothpaste touching your teeth and gums ?
3. When you take a bath, do you feel the water falling on your body ?
4. When you walk, do you feel the sensation of your feet when it touches the ground ?   
5. When you sit, do you feel the sensation on your buttocks ? 
6. When you eat or drink, do you feel the sensation of your hand and tongue when the glass, food or water touches it ? 
7. When you are surfing the internet right now and seeing my blog, have you observed and felt the touch of the keyboard or mouse ? 
8. When you are having sex with your partner, have you observed and felt the sensations in your body and thoughts in your mind ? 
9. Whenever you go for the call of nature, have your ever felt the sensations during release of the urine or excreta? 
10. When you lie down to sleep, have you observed or felt the body sensation of touching the bed ?
11. Have you  observed your dreams?
12. When you are stressed or doing nothing, have you ever observed your thoughts? 
13. Have you ever observed from where are the thoughts are actually originating? 
14. Have you observed your breath pattern in love, anger, fear, depression, guilt and enthusiasm? 

If the answer is no, start observing and feeling each of the activities you are doing, but in a relaxed manner. Sant Kabir has said that all the problems and solutions are there in this five and half feet of our body. Slowly when you  start observing and feeling with awareness, you will come to know your real life essence.

Wisdom Pointer: Book of our own Life: Start awareness with body sensations and then gradually move to breath, thoughts, emotions(feeling) and in the end you will be with your real inner self which is peace or bliss.
