Be Careful What You're Thinking

The power of thinking is demonstrated in this animated clip of a man meditating until a fly disturbs his peace. Only when he is oblivious to this seeming annoyance does he change his environment from a swarm of flies to the falling petals of a tree.

Distractions in our life are like flies. More we can paid attention to distractions, more distractions can growth and keep away us for what is really important

I played this to my 10 year old who is fascinated by warriors & swords etc... I asked that he grow up to be strong in the mind, body & spirit. He acknowledged how the warriors mind took him over & only when he stopped slaying the flies & allowed them to be..... he 'won' ~ Returned to peace :)

This video has given me inspiration to meditate. Perhaps one day I'll be able to ignore the fly and see only great beauty.

She is obscure as an octobers
day
when wind and rain are in harmony with grey skies
and one fails to look beyond
the obvious and see
Autumns beauty painted on a
maple tree
it has the power to lift the heart momentarily
like fallen leaves gusting towards the head-lights of a car at night, or
a bright pink express lorry
emerging from a hoary mist
and one wonders why all vehicles are not painted this way
she does not shine on a summers day
nor among others does she feel at home
but when wind and rain are in harmony with grey skies
on some obscure octobers day
lovely as the maple tree
she stands alone.
Venkatesh
awesome
