AWARENESS HOLDS ALL
Man is very tiny if you look at his body, man is very foolish if you look at his mind, and man is tremendously vast if you look at his consciousness. Three things meet in man. The vast, the infinite, meet in his consciousness, in his awareness. That’s what you become aware of when you meditate: boundaries recede and disappear.
The body does not contain you; in fact, you contain the body. Ordinarily you think, “I exist in the body.” It is absolutely wrong. The body exists in you; you are vaster, you are bigger – not only bigger than the body, you are bigger than this whole universe. It is awareness that holds all.
There is not much to write about today. I feel still sick, my nose is running, and I don’t have much energy. At 09:00, I went out to have some breakfast at the Bodhi Cafe, which is close to my hotel. I had some muesli with curd and fruits. A Honey-Lemin-Ginger tea is probably the best to drink with a cold. I walked down to the main road and got some money from the Canara Bank ATM on the other side. There is always massive traffic on the main road. I remember five years ago the main road was under construction, it was even worse. After my short trip I returned to my hotel, right in my bed. Even little actions are tiring me. I was sleeping again for a while. I think it is good to sleep a lot.
I was just watching some movies or episodes of a series today. In the afternoon I slept again. Fortunately, I am at least getting a bit hungry. So I went down around 18:00 to find a place to eat. I have been to an Indian Restaurant the first evening when I arrived, the food was quite good. But today there was a TV running and I am not in the mood for this. So I just left. I saw other Restaurants with air conditioning, but I was afraid that might be to cold for me today. Again I walked up the road and had a tomto-egg soup at the Bodhi Cafe. I t was good to eat something, getting some energy.
The rest of the day I was in my bed again. Ambara was writing me about her plans for the day and if I needed something. It feels good when there is somebody who cares about you, although I didn’t need anything, just rest.
