One pointed Focus
6:05 PM - Posted by Rashmin - 8 comments

Last one week has been a week of doing nothing. the first few days I was down with viral fever and right now I am undergoing a Ayurvedic treatment called Virechana that basically detoxifies the whole body in a span of 6 days. The most specific instruction during this treatment is " Do Nothing". Do not sleep and do not meditate!

So amidst all the chaos created by all yesplusites in and around my room I have been contemplating just on this one thought," what is that I want in life"?

I observed that most of the time, actually almost all the time, the mind is occupied by superficial desires. Fleeting desires created by egoistic tendencies and likes and dislikes. Really pointless.

Progress happens when just one desire dominates, just one goal, one focus, one path, one direction. Only one thing to look for.

And that one thing would be realising that I am that! So ham... from where the journey began.

    During virechana, one is not supposed to sleep since that reduces the metabolism in the body.Same holds good for meditation as well.

    Ironically, when one is undergoing this treatment, he/she gets enormous amount of sleep since the body gets tired out of purgation but one should not sleep.

    Very tough situation but extremely effective treatment to drive out toxins from physical body.

    Jai Gurudev
