Is man truly unlimited?

On the lowest level anybody can eat and sleep. On the highest level anybody can eat and sleep  superficially both look same but how they eat and sleep matters a lot. If you can eat and sleep with totality you do it unified and fulfilled, then there is bliss. If you eat and sleep with a thousand splits or thoughts in your mind then what is the use... You don’t do justice to even that!
If somebody can perform the smallest of the work in a highest possible way, he truly can also perform biggest of the work in highest possible way. There by nothing binds him and so he becomes unlimited. Law of nature is simple, more the intensity, less the time. Complete intensity, no time!
Here intensity need not mean force; intensity would mean involvement and complete conscious attention. We can see more involvement when one does things that one loves to do, though involvement can be high by doing anything and everything. If one does anything with total involvement and intensity he goes beyond time and becomes unlimited. That how, complete action can result in enlightenment.

People with great energy and potential do many things at a time but collapse because of the split or thoughts and get entangled. Masters with unified consciousness remain unlimited and become multidimensional.

Integrity

Whole world is nothing but strive for integrity. In other words union with the divine or the absolute consciousness is integration or yoga. Dis-integrity is pain and Integrity is bliss. Jiva or the individual is nothing but a speck of consciousness that assumes duality and perceives itself disintegrated. It attains bliss or nirvana the moment it gets integrated with the divine. But the truth is it is always integrated with the absolute and the jiva fails to see it. The very doing separates it from being integrated.

Can effort bring us close to integrity? If you want to sleep will you put in effort? It has to come by itself, all you can do is lie down and relax and do nothing. Any effort you put in you are only going far away from it! Silence, can you put in effort and a chive silence? Your wanting to be silent is itself disturbing, its creating wave in the silent space of consciousness.

Same it is with enlightenment do absolutely nothing and see! But mind and ego wants to do something... always! That’s how people fool themselves saying that I’m doing this or that for integrity, enlightenment or whatever, attain this attain that so on, they end up being hypocrites.

If you really want to be integrated then,
Undo doing to get the doing done!

The art of meditation.

There has been too much confusion and complexity on such a simple thing! Simply close your eyes and feel your breath. There is no doing, no effort, no expectations. Let the point of attention on the feel of the breath move or be stationary, do nothing just OBSERVE THE FEEL of the BREATH as it is.

Remember to get back and observe the breath whenever you get lost in your thoughts.

This seemingly simple thing could change your perceptions leaps and bounds in geometric progression, for your expansion of the consciousness. But let there be no seeking for the perception of unexperienced altered frequencies. Simply allow it to happen!

Centering

Conscious attention can be confusing if it is just the mind that is attentive. Because mind can color everything even truth! that is right in front of ur eyes! So your whole being will have to be just that witnessing or seeing and not what you are witnessing or seeing. If you focus on the object then the witnessing disappears. Forus on witnessing and see the how you get enlightened :-) this is also called CENTERING
When you are totally centered the world dissappears! The circumference dissappears. Then, what remains is only pure truth, which may also be called Absolute consciousness, Self or TAO

Silence of the mind?

Opposites are used to define many things in our language of words, what is life? that which is not death.. what is death? that which is not life.But we are using the opposites to define each other! we are using undefined to define!

Without opposites there is no mind, because mind cannot compherend beyond opposites and divisions. So What could be the silence thats beyond the silence of the mind?

Mind?

Ofcourse i can hear ur mind.. and its noise. Best thing for you will be not to reject anything and not to crave anything. If you take sannayas u will have rejected the world (thats is part of you now) if you become worldly you will have rejected the inner side. So take both and go beyond both and you will have gone beyond mind.

Beautiful environment, budda's picture, cleanliness of the room, dhammapada all are also mind stuff.. that which mind likes. The rituals and environment definitely help, but they are not mandatory for your travel inside yourself. They are actually burdens for the mind! They at the most help you to snap you from other worldly things, but remember even these are worldly things!

Dwell in that "you" that can see all these things. Tell me which one is greater... the natural beauty or that which is able to comprehend this natural beauty? The buddha or that which is able to comprehend the buddha? Dhammapada or that which is able to comprehend dhammapada?

Mind will persue the divided duality, because thats its nature. Understanding the futility of all these worldly things will be the first step beyond mind.

There are only two ways for enlightenment.
Active and passive
Active way is extrovert way that involves in activity and world of action.
Passive way is introvert way that involves inner world and dreams.
example of active way is patanjali, sivananda, yogananda and other yoga and kriya masters
example of passive way is ramanamaharishi, lao tzu, chuang tzu and other zen masters

Active or the way of action is effort based and takes time
Passive way or the way of inaction is timeless and so its instanteneous

You dont have to choose just one and struggle, because the destination is beyond both. So you can choose both or keep shifting this and that and finally reach. The difference is only the time taken to reach.
