Thoughts are an addiction that has no answer

Today slept for 3.5 hour nap. Was feeling bit groggy after such long nap. Was thinking whether to do my practices since its late. Maybe have dinner while its hot.
Anyway, didn't listen to my mind. I did my practices, grogginess gone.
Actually meditation is much more restful than sleep. I felt refreshed after practices.

All suffering arise because of ur identification with thoughts. Thoughts have brought u nothing but unhappiness and suffering, but u r not even conscious enough to realise that all suffering coincides wit tots, and bliss occurs only in the state of no-thoughts.

What is sin?
What have u been doing in the past? You have identified totally wit ur tots, constantly turning them into action and this is sin.
Stand away from ur tots, actions will crumble, the doer will be lost and all connection with the past will snap.

The act of eradicating doing is witnessing and to witness means shravana.
If a tot comes, u come along with it; when tots are not, u r not. Since ego is the name given to a collection of tots, shravana also means the ego-less state.
Through shravana alone u know the yoga and the secrets of the body. Contentment is attained.

As long as u think, u r discontented, because tots lead to thousands of suggestions; do this, do that! Tots give rise to new desires and desires lead to discontent. It is all right to use tots, but if u begin to obey them, u r in for all kind of trouble.

Tots are like drugs; if u got addicted to them, u go astray and will be confused that you won't know what to do. Tots are an addiction that has no answer. Had there been answer, u would have reached home long ago.
A real answer can only be found in the no-tot state.

Mmm, today I wander why people have difficulty in decision making. For me, its quite easy. Once decided, I act and then it is passed off.
CEO cannot even make decision on her own PA, choosing one from two candidates. I am puzzled. And then this morning, another person called for info to make decision. I didn't like it cos I think people shld think and decide for themselves. Whats so difficult about making decision??

I started to write an article but stop cos don't the reason why it is difficult for people to make decision. I did pray for an answer.
Now answer came - it is due to too many tots comin. Everytime they say yes, a no comes in. I know CEO has many tots and she is not aware yet. No wonder she cannot make decision.

Shravika - one who has learned the art of listening; he know how to listen and understands what listening means.
There are some who must keep on performing sadhanas in order to arrive. This is necessary for those who are not yet adept at hearing, because if u can listen ---- totally --- there is nothing more to do be done to reach the other shore.

All gurus, all religions aim at one thing only; how to break the constant dialogue within.
Whether we call it yoga or meditation or repetition of mantra, the aim is to break the constant internal flow of words in order to create an empty space within.
When words fall into silence within u, u reach the place where all creation is born and where it becomes extinct.
