Comments: Article ‘Dance’
Julian Capper, UK
Understanding the cosmic nature and harmony of the universe in which mankind is destined to make his or her journey in life is the supreme gift of the wise. That it is so is for each one of us to realise, if we are meant to. No part of this universe is out of place or in need of correction or alteration, hard though this may be to acknowledge in the human mind. The human mind experiences diversity and conflict on a daily basis, as it is meant to. Let us welcome the life that is – a play of light and sound, albeit illusory.

The ego feels good or even enlightened, if it has the feeling of control, so the mind is conditioned. When the ego enters the stage of life it wants to take over the leadership. If it succeeds, this enables the ego to feel good. And the opposite, failure, makes it feel bad. The ego feels good or bad and this depends on certain conditions. Enlightenment is just the opposite: unconditional trust, patience and love in the timeless here and thoughtless now. There is no goal and no way, they are in the mind with thoughts. Enlightenment is the clarity that the ego has no control and you can trust life because it has always happened without the control of the ego. Enlightenment is simply living of what is, a mysterious and in every moment alive dance of life, because the Enlightened are aware of how the intelligence in life lets everything happen as an illusion that looks as if man created it, which is not the case. The sages by sharing wisdom, like Dr. Shankar in this article, call for dancing with life as it is.
Wisdom quotes by Dr. Vijai S Shankar part 31 "Dance"
Julian Capper. UK
Thank you for all that you have gifted and continue to gift to mankind in life. Thank you, Regina, for your amazing support for Dr. Vijai Shankar in all that you provide. Words are insufficient acknowledgement, yet they convey the energy and love for you. The January newsletter is a poignant reminder of what is often taken for granted. The song beautifully reflects this as we accept the invitation to the adventure of life.

I listened to the song that was sung by Nina Simone,”Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.” In January newsletter. When we live in the mind, life can be difficult. We swing, like a monkey, from mood to mood. When we live life as portrayed in the “Wisdom Quotes”, that appear in this newsletter and are gifted to us by Dr. Shankar, we can live life to its very fullest.

The seven articles of ‘Adventure’ were hitting me. In principle, or better theoretical it was known for me, but reading this articles I saw what adventure really means and I saw also how often we go for security in daily life missing the adventure! Thanks for this clarification, with love.
Randy, Netherlands
I am left speechless and grateful every time I read the latest article slowly and carefully. And Sandra too when I read it out loud to her. Though familiarity with the words which are used is there, the wisdom which is shared is always alive and fresh. Just beautiful. Thank you.

The mind-blowing articles in January had again a tremendous impact on me. Thank you eternally for guiding us unabated through meanwhile 728 articles. This process of understanding keeps deepening and widening with no limitations at all. Amazing grace! It dawns on me how deep life is and how superficial the mind. The 9 articles on ‘ATTACHMENT’ bestow a clear understanding that we come empty-handed and we go empty-handed. In between happens a displacement of energy which appears temporarily as 'mine', as attachment and missing. By transformation and movement life has given many superimposed labels in the mind - varied labels for doing, thinking and speaking. Aliveness is the only energy that does not change. Realising this opens the door to freedom. The series of articles titled ‘APPRECIATION’ are remarkable striking and a benevolent blessing for me. We were not educated to appreciate the intelligence in life rather we are conditioned to expect from life. When we understand that everything is precisely in its place every moment as a transformation of energy, we will no longer be dependent on our thoughts. We will appreciate this wonderful life, whatever form, shape or colour may appear in front of us. Appreciation changes everything. I am deeply touched by the calmness and contentment these articles may deliver if it is meant to. With love and gratitude and my best wishes.

What a phenomenal satsang is ’Senses (2). Do we exactly know what is meant by seeing and hearing? You emphasize that our knowing should be complete, not halfway, Man has not understood the senses deeply, how the mind works. How vision and sound bring about this manifestation. We are not seeing, we are identifying. We are not hearing, we are interpreting, the two phenomena operating in the mind. I am in deep awe after listening to SENSES-2. It has touched me to the core. With gratitude.
