Life Is Fun!

Life is fun, enjoy it! Let go all of the serious stuff, the judgmental stuff, the painful, stressful, and what-not stuff!! We are too caught up with all kinds of conditioning and false beliefs. There are many techniques to overcome emotional issues and heal, but here's one that helps me a lot .....

Sadhguru says :

"What could be a barrier within yourself? The main problem is you attach too much importance to your thoughts, emotions, ideas and everything else that you consider as “me” – all the ingredients that make you a person. You make them too important because these are the things that build your personality.

The most fundamental thing is your likes and dislikes. Everything else is based upon this. Who you can be with and who you cannot be with, what kind of food you eat and what you don’t eat, where you go and where you don’t go, what kind of ideas you ascribe to and what you reject – everything is fundamentally rooted in your likes and dislikes. If you can take away this one thing, the spiritual process won’t happen slowly, it will explode in you.

Right now, your problem is, “this” is sacred, “that” is nonsense. Now you’re lost. Life will not work like this. No growth will happen.

There are two ways to approach this. One way is to see everything in the existence as sacred. Your work, your wife, your child, your husband, your dog, your mother, your god – everything, including going to the toilet – see it as sacred. Or, you see everything as utter nonsense – with absolute disdain – including your God, your own body, your spirituality, meditation, everything. Both will work wonderfully.

Right now, your problem is, “this” is sacred, “that” is nonsense. Now you’re lost. Life will not work like this. No growth will happen. The basis of your karma itself is your like and dislike. That’s the only bondage you have really. When you are in a mode where you love this and hate that, you are setting forth a duality. Once you establish duality, there can be no spirituality because yoga essentially means union. If you do not like this part, how can you become all-inclusive? It is a self-defeating process. You just have to work on that. There is no such thing as liking or disliking. Everything is sacred or everything is utter nonsense – which way do you want to walk?  If you see everything as sacred, it is much easier".

How we look at life simply depends on our perspective. Here's another amusing story about spiritual teacher, Bentinho Massaro's experience. It is quite hilarious.

*Call room service to have a meal

*Finish meal

*Call room service to pick up the tray

*Room service says to put the tray outside my door

*Get lost in a what's app conversation with a beautiful woman

*Get undressed to my undies to go take a shower

*Remember about the tray right before stepping into the shower

*Walks tray outside in boxer shorts

*Forgot key card to room, door unfortunately closes behind me

*Locked out of my room at the 19th executive floor of a luxury hotel

*Rings own doorbell just to try and see if anyone would open knowing very well this is a stupid thought

*Consider only other thinkable option: take elevator down to the lobby and walk out proudly in tight and tiny undies to the front desk to tell them the good news

*After mustering courage and walking over to the elevator, find a telephone

*Call reception tell them I'm standing in the hallway on the 19th floor in my undies

*Manager comes up, doesn't seem pleased

*Leaves me standing there while he's looking at me

*Takes his time with a skeptical look on his face to ask how come I locked myself out before he lets me back in.

*Get back to room with a huge smile on my face--loving life and the humorous nature of being human
