Chapter 3 - Bubbles On The Water Day 24 There are three types of feelings : "I know," "I do not know" and third, "I cannot know." In Sanskrit these are called "jnat," the known, "ajnat," the unknown, and "ajneya," the unknowable.  To approach the unknowable, start wondering about the known and about the unknown. Yoga is the unknowable. While a child who has caught a butterfly is wonderstruck, we are apathetic even if a beautiful wonder is shown to us.  You travel to visit the Taj Mahal, glance at it while snacking on peanuts and say, "Oh, is this the Taj Mahal?" Then you start giving your opinion about it or complaining about problems or worries. Did you really see the Taj Mahal? Only a site-seeing ritual has been fulfilled. Others even see the Taj Mahal while sitting in a bus and say, "What is there to see? It is only a marble building."  Again, look at children. Take them to a beach or the riv...

*Chapter 3 - Bubbles On The Water* *Day 23* Have you ever observed a curious child around six months old? A baby examines its hands and fingers with amazement as if though it were seeing something amazing.  The baby is just looking at its hand. The moment you attain knowledge without wonder attached to it, that knowledge is worthless. You can even treat such knowledge as ignorance.  Only knowledge that creates wonder in you is real knowledge. What we consider as knowledge actually destroys our ability to be amazed.  What is left in life when there is no wonder or amazement? Life becomes dull. Wonder is a quality of life, and through wonder we can attain union and yoga.  Wonder is the basis for yoga. Anything you see around you is amazing. When a child sees a leaf it asks, "Why it is green?"  No sooner than you reply, he asks, "Why is the sky blue?", "Why does an elephant have a trunk?" or "Why does a horse not have a trunk?"  They may...

*Chapter 3 - Bubbles On The Water* *Day 22* Once, when I was in Ooty, India somebody told me, "There is one very brave saint residing nearby. His specialty is that he has dug his own grave.  He is such a great soul that he has given instructions to be buried in the grave he has dug for himself." What do you think?  Is he a great soul or is it arrogance? While you are alive, do what you want to do and leave the rest for others to finish after your death.  He has not left any work for others. They do not even have the freedom to build his grave because that has to happen according to his wish.  He has such a deep-rooted interest in living and the body. There is a feeling that I have done an amazing and shocking feat, which nobody else has dared to do.  Be patient and brave. Do not fall into self-blame. You are different from the you that experiences the three states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep.  It takes time to discover this. It does not h...

This was on the day after finishing the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the ART OF LIVING at Jakkur aerodrome in Bangaluru. My mom and dad were travelling back to Gulbarga in the Udyan express. It was a night journey, so the train stopped at a particular station after a few hours from the departure time. So my father stepped out of the train in order to stretch a bit, as one tends to become very stiff just sitting through a train journey. In just a few minutes, the train blew a departure horn, and dad stepped inside the train, but as he did so, a bunch of keys fell down from his pocket, onto the tracks. That bunch included our home keys, locker keys, office keys, and bike keys. But dad did not realize it. He did not notice the fact that the keys had slipped out of his pocket. He just went and sat on his seat normally. On reaching home next morning, dad started searching for the keys, as he could not locate them in his pockets. He frantically asked mom to look for them as wel...
