Zen Stories

The True Path

Just before Ninakawa passed away the Zen master Ikkyu visited him. “Shall I lead you on?” Ikkyu asked.

Ninakawa replied: “I came here alone and I go alone. What help could you be to me?”

Ikkyu answered: “If you think you really come and go, that is your delusion. Let me show you the path on which there is no coming and going.”

With his words, Ikkyu had revealed the path so clearly that Ninakawa smiled and passed away.

fragrance of a rose

The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu’s dictum:“Those who know, do not say;
Those who say, do not know.”

When the master entered,
they asked him what the words meant ?

Said the master, “Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?”

All of them indicated that they knew.

Then he said, “Put it into words.”

All of them were …… silent.

love all.

yoga = science of oneness

yoga means plus so there is yoga of body senses ….. yoga of mind ….. and yoga of soul and yoga with cosmic spirit … and each one has its multiple paths ….. it is for us to make a choice and remain what suits to our body , mind , soul , and cosmic spirit …. 

yoga of body is like keeping the car clean from outside …..yoga of mind is like keeping car clean from inside …… harmony of car and driver is yoga of soul …… in oneness to travel on the road of eternal happiness is yoga with cosmic spirit what many refer as enlightenment ….. 

and enlightenment is conversation with God …..

…..love all.
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamt yourself to be.” -`
