TWO TOOLS BEST

Simply try to figure out or investigate "whether 'you' are doing any action or the action is happening through you". Perhaps nothing more is required to have clarity.


Another equally important simple tool is to investigate "Whether you are body or mind or both or none."

Does anybody hear us ?--A poem --Lucy


Do we even make a sound
When no one is around
To hear us sing?
Or does that logic only work for trees

If one were to fall in the forest
I’m sure someone would notice
But if you and I fell right here
Could you tell my dear?
And show me some concern
Over my dark and tainted words

Do I even make a sound
When no one is around
To read my words?
And express the things I can’t explain

Even the tree found a purpose
Branches tired, worn, an worthless
Just like the words I speak
Falling short and discrete
I leave the music to drive it home
Can you hear when I play it alone?

But the question shouldn’t be:
“Does anybody hear us?”
But, “Does anybody care?”

Why not be judgmental


We usually read/hear from others that we should not be judgmental towards others.

But I don't understand what is harm in being judgmental.

In my view perhaps so long as we have the knowledge/feeling of separateness the tendency of being judgmental can never be avoided, at the most it can be suppressed which is worse than getting it expressed.

The state of non-judgmental happens when the knowledge/feeling of separateness i.e. power to discriminate vanishes.

This (non-judgmental) cannot be practiced.

If some one is practicing being non-judgmental understand that s/he is doing more harm to her/him-self in the garb of becoming something better.
