How to Meditate: Simplicity of Breath
Do not tangle it all up. Because each day that comes in your life is one of the most valuable gifts you will ever have, incomparable. Now for a lot of people that makes sense but it does not make sense and I will tell you why it makes sense and why it does not make sense.
It makes sense because you know how important each day is in your life. You know that. And so why does it not make sense? Because that is not the way we accept it. The importance of a day is based upon what we get accomplished. Our life has been placed on upscale and the weights that measure it have been giving to us by this world and everything is judged by failure or success.
Would you really give a gorilla a diamond right? Why not? Gorilla has fingers just like you, very similar. You will be stupid. Why would it be stupid, because the gorilla would never understand the value of a diamond ring? Give gorilla a diamond ring; it will try to taste it. Finding it an unappetizing, probably throw it away.
Why did I mention the diamond and a gorilla? Well, I will, I could be like a gorilla who has been handed the diamond right of life and we do the same thing, taste it: “My life if not good, I have got to do this, I have to accomplish this, I have to climb this, I have to be there, I have to have this title, I have to have this, I have to have that in my life!”
And what is forgotten, is the value of existence, the value of this breath coming every moment and blessing you. This is the blessing. But we do not know ho to accept it. Because in our painting, in our window, we have created a scene, for human beings we can not rely on the sun to shine everyday through the window, so you know what we do? We paint a sun on the window, so as soon as we open the curtains, there it is. There is the sun. Because we cannot rely for every day to be a good day, we will work very hard to try to make it a good day. When we do not really understand what it, to be a good day is.
What is it? What is a good day? People say that to each other. Have a good day! Good day! Good morning! People are very particular. I am very particular. A lot of time people say to me, good morning, I look at my watch. That is good afternoon. Good evening! Good night! Good! Open my eyes and let me see the good that is in my heart. Let me admire the beauty of my existence. Let me admire the simplicity of being. Let me admire the simplicity that I am because here is the unfolding of the most magnificent that is taking place.
