sometimes people ask me, "what is being?" on this journey through INdia I came across situations that might help you to understand a little more about "what is being". Let me first tell you something different; sometimes in the past when I had a toothache I went to the dentist and the moment I enter the dental room somehow the pain was gone. Well this is not being.
For me one of the most easy ways to feel being is related to people or nature. On this journey I met some people and the minute we sit together somehow everything disappears - what is going on in the world disappears - the heat disappears (of course it is still hot but the heat doesn't bother me anymore) - starting a conversation disappears - and also any kind of question disappears.
-There is simply being at ease in that particular situation. In that situation nothing is to be done, nothing can be done no doing is needed, there is nothing to solve and all is as it is. Not even "all is good as it is". In these moments there is no good and there is no bad, both simply do not exist.
Another part of recognising these moments of being is when you are "out of being". Than the world, thoughts, emotions, idea's, all come back and the mind starts working. An example of experiencing Being when in nature.
Sometimes I came across a tree or a river and without trying to relax, all of a sudden the mind is not there and there are moments of just "Being There" - another way to describe this part of Being a little more; it is like being connected on the phone without making a phone call, no number is dialled, there is no talking, there are no words and there is no conversation. There is only connectedness in that moment.
Being absorbed into connectedness and in that connectedness, the mind, the person, the tree or the river disappears and yet something is present in that absence
Love to all from New Delhi, tomorrow I fly to Dehradun and after that a long car ride to Rishikesh
