The life returns unto the Life,

Notes to oneself :
--
Waters return unto the Waters, fires return unto the Fires, airs return unto the Airs, thoughts return unto the Thought, earths return unto the Earth, 
And every death returns unto the Death itself.
Just like this, 
The life returns unto the Life,
And the individual returns unto the Supreme.

Boredom

"Boredom can be interesting"
--
(Continued, ...;) )
There is a state of mind which, when experienced though nameless, is given this name 'Boredom', and we think we understood this phenomenon that we have named 'Boredom'. Obviously, as J.Krishnamurti has repeatedly said:
'The description is not the described'.
And that is the point, where we fail to see that the state 'Boredom' and the word 'Boredom' have nothing in common. While the word is uttered either aloud or in thought, the actual state of mind may not be that which one tries to express through this word.
As soon as the experience is experienced, it is replaced by the word. But if we don't hurry to name it, we can see an altogether different transformation in consciousness that happens on its own, without our attempt to bring in it.
If the attention is not identified with the word, it at once stands still. Its not a movement inward or outward, rather it is a movement in silence and awareness (of being).
If we miss this point, the attention soon gets lost in any other mental activity associated with thought and memory. For example, we find out an alternative, an option, there-by affirming and giving continuity to our-self (the ego?) which is also a false notion only that appears a 'real thing' like 'Boredom'.

A Friends' Comment :

"If the attention is not identified with the word, it at once stands still. Its not a movement inward or outward, rather it is a movement in silence and awareness (of being)." 
Thanks Prabhu I got the key of connection of sensitivity and consciousness.

Reminiscences : The Hill of Devi

The Hill of Devi 
Reminiscences :
--
btw, I went uphill today evening. There is a devi-temple (E.M.Forster : Hill of devi) I climbed a hundred and more steps, turned left, got down another hundred or so many steps and returned home. These days thousands of devotees daily visit those temples. I had first visited that temple when I was of 3 or years of age. Then again, when I was 16 years. And kept visiting for 3 years once in a month or 2. After 45 years I could again go there. And when I was 16, I used to see very small stone structures, those similar to the pic. above, which pilgrims used to make by the way to the temple. After these 45 years, still people bring small stone pieces and make such along the steps. I too had built so many 45 years ago.

Incognito-2

Incognito-2
-- 
Walking through the incomprehensible and inexplicable states of mind, when the memory and the recognition of the world is left as if erased, and the identity of oneself in the world is also temporarily suspended, you are not lost. The different time-frames are but overlapping glass-panes that slide over one-another with no stable or fixed images in them. Though shadows and figures also keep changing with utmost harmony all the time, you just laugh at them, as if you have come across a Salvador Dali's painting...
