On Oct 28, 2022 Vinod wrote on Hopium, by Margaret Wheatley:
When it springs from faith, “hope” is a supercharged laser light that points the way forward and powers us to take the next step, and the next, until we’re home.
When it springs from blind belief and desperate craving for something to happen, or aversion for something to not happen, “hope” leads us into further into the murky depths of darkness and delusion and distances us from the truth.
On it’s own, hope is just a word.
It’s how you use it that really matters.
Hope this helps :)

A gem of a parable! A perfect example of 'complete surrender'. The 'dissolved' ego, quite literally. Where there's not a trace of I, me, mine. If only realisation could be this simple :) walk, on salt doll, walk on and one day the sea will appear :)

We live fully when we give freely. It is an indescribable joy, maybe even an addiction, where the more you give, the more you want to give. And the more you give, the more you find there is to give. Gratitude!

On Dec 27, 2019 Vinod wrote on Meditation: A Process Of Retraining The Mind, by Bhante Gunaratna:
The fact that after an out-breath, if there is no in-breath, it means death, can heighten one's awareness.
There's birth and death with every In-breath andin every out breath.
There's birth and death with every In-breath andin every out breath.

All beings big and small,
the ones you’ve met through spring and fall,
the ones you’re with and hopefully having a ball,
the ones you will meet maybe in a mall,
the point of this bad poem by vinod lal
is, can you truly love them all?

All is sacred. All needs to be revered. All the time.
But we are so mired in our ego, that it doesn't always happen.
