In harmony with nature

It has been a lots of disasters happened around the globe but most of us just take them for granted. Very few of us think that all of those disasters are caused by our own action. In fact whatever happen to us is really because of our action. This is law of nature, karma, action and reaction, or cause and effect.

Has any of you seen the movie An Inconvenient Truth? Al Gore, former vice president of US talked a lot of what happened, being happened and will be happened on earth which has caused global warming.

Global warming happened because of we are fail to live in harmony with nature. And five elements of nature is just acting according to its nature. The five elements, water, fire, air, earth, and space are just doing its own nature. The imbalance of five elements caused typhoon, heat, flood, etc.

Now is back to us. Do we want to continue the life on earth or not. If we want to continue then we must change our habbit right now by living in harmony with nature.

Books To Read

When talking about holistic life, about our existence on earth, many people that I have met asked me what book do I have to read in order to be able to understand my life better? This is very common and good question as well. By having that question in mind means that we are heading to the right track. And people who have that question on their mind will always meet people that have the same problem. These people are resonant at the same frequency. The people that have similar frequency will always meet. This is the law of nature. The bird with the same colour will flock together, says Shakespeare.It is a bit hard to give an exact answer to the above question. But as a common law we can start from reading any kind of books as long as the book is about holistic life, about existence. From any kind of tradition it does not matter. First book that we read will lead us into the next book that we have to read.There are many books are written by good writer and enlightened writer. The question is, do we really want to learn about holistic life? If not, do not waste your time, But if you really want you will never waste anything, in fact you will gain a lots and it will benefit not only for you but other people and the universe as well. Happy searching . . .

The Island of Paradise is turning into "The Island of Hell"

For many many years people around the world call Bali as Island of Paradise, others call The Island of Thousand Temples or a Living Museum. But now Bali is really in pain. With the development of mass tourism industry has turned Bali into island of thousand hotels, which has taken a lot of rice field which actually the source of life of the island. Without rice field Bali will not mean anything. This situation if it is not taken care seriously Bali will not Bali anymore.Balinese should be able to say enough is enough. Balinese should not always only using mind in responding to the globalization. Mind is very limited if it is not completed with feeling. The combination of mind and feeling will be able to understand the unseen.Balinese should now be doing a very deep contemplation in order to be able to undertand what they have done wrong. For many years Balinese undertand that mony is everything, which is absolutly wrong. Yes, money is very important like air but if we cannot manage it, is will manage us, it will drive us creasy. This is what being happened now in Bali.There is only one way for Balinese to survive. The way is love. To love Bali as it is. To love means to do something for nothing, to do everything for the sake of Bali, for the sake of Motherland. The law of cause and effect is applied to everything. It means that if we love something it will result in love even we do not expect it.How can we do this? First we have to love ourself. It is not possible for someone to love someone else if he does not have love. It's like someone want to give some money to someone else. He must have some money first, then he can give it to someone.To love Bali means to do our job in whatever field as an offering to Bali, to Motherland, to mother that gives life to everything.

Where To Start

Very often I got questioned when talking about anything. The question is where to start? There is nothing wrong with this question. Something could be wrong is the answer to this question. When somebody wants to start something really depend on him/herself, on his/her awarness, awareness of him/herself.A lots of people could give some answers but the problem is who is amongst those people could really understand the person who raised the question. None of them! So, never really follow anybody's answer of a question that you have without contemplating the answer. Contemplating the answer means that you let your faculty of discrimination to review the answer and form the review it will come a respond.Where to start? To me it can be started from anywhere as long as the direction is going within. If we take this part wherever we start from it will connect us to all things because all things are within and without. The core of the self is in and out. First step will lead us to the next step, it will take us closer and closer to the being.The being is the source of everything. The absolute is the never changing part of the being and the relative is the ever changing of the being says Maha Rishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation. Indeed everthing is in both sides of being, alsolute and relative, never changing and ever changing.So, wherever we start from as long as the journey is going within it will take is into everything because being is the everything of everything.

Life Never Consistent

My understanding about life was that everything should be sure, should be as what I want, should be as what I expect. And this has brought me into so many problems with my life because I found that everything is not consistent, everything is changed. Today is good but then next day is not good anymore. Today is not kind and the next day become very kind. So my mind start questioning, what is life actually?I should admit that I am lucky becuase one day I met Anand Krishna, a Guru, a Master, an enlightened one, the one who knows behind mind, the one who has been in tune with life. From him I have learned a lot. From him I learned what life is, what mind is, what caused problem into life. From him I understand that mind will never be able to unsderstand what life is because life is beyond mind. Life is unlimited while mind is very limited.To live a life is to be able to except everything in life as it is, not as we want. To live a life is to live in totality, to do everything in total in line with inconsistency of life. To live a life is to love in totality because love is always total, if not total it means not love but attachement.Let's live a life!
