Life is like a Chess Game !!

-


Life is like a chess game,
The heart competing with the mind,
The soul competing with the body,
Looking closely enough, its life against life.

Sacrifices, on every move: every time,
 Either you kill yourself or your own-self,
Life is between the black and the white,
The rapid gestures going in-between the time.

Duality the gateway to stage called life,
Every move is the farewell to the next side,
Who gains and who loses remains the final ride,
Life just slides between the fingers, like fireflies.

Life is just like the chess games, with side-less sides !!

We are not a body with a soul. We are a soul with a body. The battle against the soul is futile. How can you defeat what you dont understand?

Yes, You are definitely right !
But lets toss the coins, the reality as defined as the body and the illusion as defined as the soul. Arent they the positions that exists in-between the lines of the definition we give them.

Everyone, has a vague collection of being something greater than body and the constant search for the seeker of the ultimate brings in this illusive question of AM I BODY or AM I SOUL, as defined, may be spirit, may be something else!

Unfortunately, we have fallen victim to the lie. We are slaves to our bodies. We do what it wants. Sex, violence, hunger is all we care about. No one seeks the deeper pleasures of the soul.

I rather disagree to the point !

Humans are not victims at all !
Humans have free will and choices, the chance of escalation, the forms that can be shaped and sharped to another dimensions, might be physically, intellectually, emotionally or spiritually!

We have Choices!

The problem as i see is that humans things have the problem of ego and possession, it stops us to see the fundamental roots of life !

For Example:

A apple tree Apples !
A mango tree Mangoes !
The Solar System Peoples !
Distinctly,
The Earth LIFES !

Its as it should be, so if u look into the poem, the last line explains that insight into non duality !
THE HAPPENING HAPPENS !!

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld. The symbol moved from Egyptians to Phoenicians and finally to Greeks. Where the symbol got its name OUROBOROS.  The symbol and the myth regarding the symbol is famous all over the world. In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagara...

Heraclitus: The Brightest Star of Greek Philosophy

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is somethin...

The Concept of Equanimity !

Equanimity comes from a Latin word æquanimitas, which means to have an even mind. But the concept goes much deeper. Much of all ancient philosophies and religions talk about equanimity. Aequss meaning even, and Animus meaning mind/soul.   Marcus Aurelius, one of the stoic philosopher and an emperor in his book Meditations stated that: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. In the context of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) Equanimity is used to describe the Brahman Nature. In more detailed understanding since the Brhaman cannot ever be explained. We can just rejoice its being. Hence Equanimity means the unattached and undisturbed being'ness. Which is what we all are primarily as. Not the state of mind which we exist upon but the pure sense of nature. The real nature. So, equa...
