Does a hand need to know how much work she needs to do this whole life?

Does a person need to know how many things it needs to endure?

Does anyone deserves honesty if they are not ready to accept it?

Why this urge of knowing, if it will bring only suffering. Where is the mystery of life in knowing everything?

How to approach things, in order to do “whatever needs to be done”

Knowing the future it is not necessary, it will just damage the process which has to be fulfilled, the ultimate plan of creation, of matter, of all this ilusionary  world.

My grandmother is known in her village as a workaholic, whenever we would go to the fields to work the earth, we would just wait for lunch, the first sign ½ of the day has gone and the beautiful moon, the time to go home.

But she is a stubborn one, even if the moon would come, she would say “We can still work, there is still light from the moon, we are  able to see”. Everybody was needed to convince her there is still another day tomorrow and it’s time to go home.

Now if we would start the morning by her telling us “today you will work 12 h, in the sun, probably no wind and very little break”.

That would be a terrible way to start the day! But she had her way of taking everything in small steps.

“Now we wake up, now we eat, now we prepare the stuff for working, now we march, now we settle down, now I explain, now you try, now I correct, now you try again! “

Like this hours where just flying by. We were yogis on the field!

From time to time I would raise my head to see how, many rows we still have to work and OMG It looked impossible, still so much work to do, it is useless, we would never finish.

I just wanted to end things! Go home and just sit and rest.

But she had a way, she always had somethings to say “The eyes will scare you, but your hands will bring you joy!” .Or she would just start a conversation to take your mind of things, with laughs we would work, remembering things from childhood, by the end of the conversation we would just focus on what needed to be done, step by step, meter by meter.

Sometimes with thoughts sometimes thoughtless. We would appreciate the wind, the fresh air, the food, a good rest and by the end of the day you would go to bed, with a feeling of having a purpose, that everything was done, you did your best, yogis nights.

I say some of the people are natural yogis, they have no knowledge of scriptures, no mantras to chant, no breathing exercises , no regime to watch over. They are just doers. Naturally in them in their behavior and actions, there is yoga all written.

Whenever unhappiness arise, just get your attention, focus back on the moment. Where you focus, attention is that is, what will get amplified.

Being sorry about yourself, will just amplify that feeling. Thinking how much you have to do, will amplify that feeling. Being angry, will just hurt yourself. If not you ll make sure you hurt others 🙂 So focus your attention on what you want, not on what you are avoiding. It is like changing the frequency on a radio, you don’t like the music, just change the station.

If you would know you have to work your whole life, you would just resigned  before you get the job. But you only get 1 task at a time. Don’t look at how many things has to be done, just take 1 at a time. For every change step by step.

This is the attitude to perform anything.   

Day by day, moment by moment. 

Most of the suffering we have today is because we think of doing things, not actually doing them. Is like thinking to walk, but not walking. Of course it is frustrating. You are just looking at the tons of paper you have to do. So much stress, stress in not coming, from actually working, but from your thoughts, by you projecting all the work you have to do, by you imagining the future. It is your thoughts that create suffering most of the time, not the situations you find yourself in.

Just do! One thing at a time, one dish at a time, one task, mono tasking … and see ““The eyes may scare you, but your hands will bring you joy!”

Have a wonderful day :*
