VIPASSANA represents insight in Pali language..a type of Buddhist meditation to get all your senses active..the power of acute observation and deduction.penetration and perception.Getting your mind along your actions.do we think about it??
To understand what insight is, be with them..the people who were once defeated by life with complete darkness!but later on defeating that life wiping of their parents tears forever!don't know how fast is the world growing!no time to argue with your neighbors or colleagues for your goodness..what they need is just LOVE!i feel they are the actual humans..
Even when our egos are growing higher and faster than us, we never realize how precious our life is, the value of our 6 senses..do we use them???
i got a chance to be with those partially and completely blind students of various age groups..their enthusiasm to get through colors,textures and many more were wonderful..when their hands follow each curves of the sculptures they give there innocent smile to show yes am ready for it..
we are tired seeing colors..we argue on paints to be washed on the wall facing our bed..we stare at it as a status symbol or some kind of other thoughts pass on..that's it..is that just what colors go to in our life...??but for them they had many things to do with..they didn't know which color is in their hands but pressed the clay to the sheet,sprayed paint on the canvas knowing nothing whats happening in front if them..but they know they are making their life colorful...
ready to dip in to the colors,mix the powder to clay..played in water..what you get is forms of satisfaction out of it..the idea of vipassana arises here..taking them to a sea shore, making them listen to the sound of the water and air...just making them meditate..listening to the nature..their legs touching the sand,breeze flowing between their fingers...fragrance of sea salt...they could realize some amount of light is in them..they could feel the rays are rising front of them!!
their sense of touch,smell,speak,listen,taste has sharpened their intellectual mind...developed a vision in them!!

ReplyDeletegood writing chechi...looking forward for more!:)
ReplyDeletethis piece really reflects how the kids touched your life!
ReplyDeletetaking the thought further...yes its all about opening up all your "panchendriyaas" the five senses. We kinda start becoming oblivious to all the sensory perceptions over a years as we grow up. Need to listen to nature...smell nature...feel nature...taste nature...touch nature and we will all achieve the state of "nivana"...
