Choices

You/we/I have choices all the time. We never need to be complaining because what we are doing whether you/we/I like to admit it or not is your/mine/our own choosing. Aha!

What a dilemma we are faced with at any moment in time, choosing, choosing, choosing.

The 'double edged sword' of freedom is this, it is the awakening of being free to choose your own destiny!

What are you doing now that you feel you have no choice in? There is bound to be something to see somewhere in the background, lurking away in the dark recesses of the mind.

"It's alright for you! You don't know what I have to put up with day in and day out". The righteous on.

Well I know it's not as simple as that, life happens to all of us, and sometimes it makes us feel not too good. But as one grows into awareness there is no blaming anymore, we no longer have the luxury of blaming anyone else for our troubles.

Rather than being a burden this is a good thing, because we can start to feel more. If we are finding something very difficult we are better of facing it than running away from it. We may expend more energy trying to avoid facing up to something than it would cost us to confront the issue and deal with it.

Pick any Asana you find challenging and do it now! Anything you resist will bring up the same feelings. Resisting having an important talk with someone has just the same feeling to it as resisting doing your least favourite posture.

For me it's a physical inertia coupled with a mental mode of, 'I don't wanna do it'. Thats hard enough right!

Inertia is inertia whatever you/I or we apply it too.

Tamasic . . . . . . . . .too tired!

Rajasic ............ too busy!

Sattva, mmmmm maybe I'll take a look at that now and see what happens.


Om Shanti
