Namaskar Anu ji.
I am seriously making an effort to locate people who are to practice:
LIFE AS A CHALLENGE CROSS IT AND LIFE AS A BED OF ROSES EXPLORE IT.
Are you one, Anu ji? Is there anybody else?

Namaskar Anu ji. So Anu ji. May I conclude that you are neither with your sermons nor with me? May I then like to know the utility of sermons? regards

Namaskar Bala ji,
As you know, I suppose, neither do I challenge nor do I accept any challenge. If it appears as a challenge, then I am sorry. As I find a good deal of sermons on citehr, I wanted to know their utility.

Namaskar ("Greetings" if I do not assume the meaning wrongly) DrJi (if I may address you as such),
I am seriously making an effort to locate people who are to practice:
LIFE AS A CHALLENGE CROSS IT AND LIFE AS A BED OF ROSES EXPLORE IT.
Your statement caught my attention, and I would like to share some thoughts with you.
I think your statement holds more truth to life than most of us will know, and maybe a key to the path of enlightenment too? :wink: "Meet challenges with budo and then enjoy life like there is no tomorrow." will be my interpretation of what you just said. I apologize again, for I will again contribute my understanding to Morehei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. This little old man led me to understand more about myself and my surroundings and life than any other. The only regret is that I was not able to meet this great man. It is funny how sometimes we find that we learn life's lessons from the most unlikely places. :D
Nonetheless, I learned this lesson the hard way. Up to about a couple of years ago, I thought that I had died and gone to hell, but we just called it earth. I was tired and afraid to meet challenges, and the bed of roses was a fairy tale told to children before their bedtime. Through Aikido, I slowly began to understand that life is not complicated at all; in fact, life is the simplest thing that humans can experience. We are bound by chains of our own making, and the only one who has the key to unchain us is we ourselves. Many people are simply blind to this simple fact. Ask anyone around the question, is life simple or complicated? A majority will answer complicated. But if you think a little harder, ponder a little deeper, you will find that the answer is life is simple. (DrJi, is life simple or complicated in your opinion? :) ) It is either a do or don't. Nothing more, nothing less. But I had to trash, stomp, burn my ego (which I am still doing) to start learning this lesson. Letting go of set perceptions/beliefs is not easy. To start listening and unlearning is harder still.
I guess what I am trying to share is that we have to take up the challenges that life throws at us with a smile on our face and gladness in our hearts that we are able to meet such challenges. That we are able to learn, grow, and bring ourselves to a higher level of existence. And at the same time, appreciate our surroundings, nature, family, friends, love, companionship. Explore all things that are simple and in front of us, within our grasp and appreciation. Seek the happiness that is already all around us.
The quote you made is simple but not easy to do. It is a worthy task for humankind.
And to your question about who practices it? I do hope that at the very end of my life, I can proudly claim that I was one of them. :wink:
Love and peace, DrJi.

Dear Noel Ji,
Namaskar.
Three cheers for your commitment to your mission and the success achieved so far. May God bless you to take the mission to 6.2 billion. I believe I have addressed all your inquiries.
Namaskar is not exactly greetings. Greetings are applicable when meeting someone, but namaskar is appropriate both when meeting and parting. It signifies deep respect for seniors or equals. The gesture involves rising up, folding the hands in front of the forehead, and then touching the forehead with the folded hands. When performing this gesture, it is customary to say "Namaskar."

Dear friends,
Namaskar.
From the topic "Live life easily," we have discussed only the word "easy." In this context, some of us are challengers, some are bed resters, and some are fence sitters. Now, let's discuss life. Nowadays, you will find real age calculators as well as life span calculators on the internet. Some of you may have tried to check your current life force level.
However, we have a very simple exercise. Stand up on a soft ground. Hop to hit your buttocks with your heels. Keep hopping and hitting in a sequence as many times as you can. Now, make the following observations:
1. How many times could you hit?
2. Check daily. Are the number of hits increasing/decreasing each day?
3. Are you able to do this "hit the buttocks" exercise daily?
4. Are you enjoying the exercise?
5. After doing it, can you guess its benefits?
6. Can you say that it is an indicator of the force of your life?
7. After doing it, what are your further comments on the exercise?
