Who is Your Life Partner?

Mom?

Dad?

Wife?

Son?

Husband?

Daughter?

Friends?

Not at all!

Your real-life partner is your body.

Once your body stops re- sponding no one is with you.

You and your body stay together from birth till death. What you do to your body is your responsibility and that

will come back to you.

The more you care for your body, the more your body will care for you.

What you eat, what you do for being fit, How you deal with stress, how much rest you give to it; will decide how your body going to respond.

Remember, your body is the only permanent address where you live

Your body is your asset/ liability, which no one else can share. Your body is your responsibility. Because you

are the real-life partner.

Be fit. Take care of your- self. Money comes and goes. Relatives and Friends are not permanent.

Remember, no one can help your body other than you.

Can Anybody Meditate?

I get asked this question a lot. I suspect people ask because they think that probably everybody else can meditate but they can’t. They want to be reassured that they are not alone, that there are at least some other people they can identify with, those hapless souls who were born incapable of meditating. But it
isn’t so simple. Thinking you are unable to meditate is a little like thinking you are unable to breathe, or to concentrate or relax. Pretty much everybody can breathe easily. And under the right circumstances, pretty much anybody can concentrate, anybody can relax. People often confuse meditation with relaxation or some other special state that you have to get to or feel. When once or twice you try and you don’t get anywhere or you didn’t feel anything special, then you think you are one of those people who can’t do it. But, meditation is not about feeling a certain way. It’s about feeling the way you feel. It’s not about making the mind empty or still, although stillness does deepen in meditation and can be cultivated systematically. Above all, meditation is about letting the mind be as it is and knowing something about how it is in this moment. It’s not about getting somewhere else, but about allowing yourself to be where you already are. If you don’t understand this, you will think you are constitutionally unable to meditate. But that’s just more thinking, and in this case, incorrect thinking at that. True, meditation does require energy and a commitment to stick with it. But then, wouldn’t it be more accurate to say, “I won’t stick with it,” rather than, “I can’t do it”? Anybody can sit down and watch their breath or watch their mind. And you don’t have to be sitting. You could do it walking, standing, lyingdown, standing on one leg, running, or taking a bath. But to stay at it for even five minutes requires intentionality. To make it part of your life requires some discipline. So when people say they can’t
meditate, what they really mean is that they won’t make time for it, or that when they try, they don’t like what happens. It isn’t what they are looking for or hoping for. It doesn’t fulfill their expectations. So
maybe they should try again, this time letting go of their expectations and just watching.
