Wherever I go, there I am -- this statement pretty much reflects the test for meditation for me. It is as if my doing and being are reflections of each other and whenever I become aware of my being, doing shifts and vice versa. For example, i was on tennis court today and found myself playing just the way that reflects how I am playing in my real life. HOw I move on the court, how I receive serve from the other, how I serve, how I hit the ball back and forth, how I get angry or how I feel happy -- everything reflected what I have been doing with my life off the tennis court. How I initiate, how I respond, my moods, emotions, thoughts, awareness, observation, attention, action and reflection are showing up again and again on the tennis court, in my walks, in my talks, in how I deal with email messages and finally and most importantly, how I deal with others in my life. It is all one and the same drama, same energy, same ego, same intensity and so on.
My being is continually being reflected in my doing and vice versa. But my thinking and feeling are flowing together in alignment with my being/doing, I have integrity and everything is effortless and there is magic, grace in life. When there is misalignment, there is blindness, deafness and am completely unaware of what is going on and life becomes endless loop of suffering.
Have you noticed it? When you are eqanimous, non-attached but engaged with life fully and fearlessly, magic happens all around you and inside you. When you are not, magic stops and ego suffers.
What if life is actually a meditation in process and when we stop meditating, when we suffer, we show up and life disappears?
