Let's become Crows

7th July 2011. It was raining heavily here in Mumbai. I was looking outside the balcony. I saw 2 crows sitting and taking shade under something to avoid themselves from getting wet (though they were getting wet partially, coz the shade was not enough). I was just watching them. The 2 crows looked here and there.. they look at each other.. again looked here and there.

The Crows were just witnessing the moment. This moment - Ok its raining, ok we are seated. They are not thinking - Oh when this rain will go, Oh why did it rain, where will i go now! or Oh god I am getting wet. Neither were they enjoying, Ohh wow its raining, I am loving it! :P You know, you could actually figure out looking at them, they are relaxed and just witnessing the moment.

This is the quality we need to adopt. Just be in the moment. When the above thoughts come to your mind, that is when you are not in the present moment. You are suspended - from future to past, past to future!

Just for some time, whatever you do - just be a witness, no need to have opinions, just be a witness. You hear a song - for some time just hear it, listen to it - Don't have any opinion that its a good/bad song; just listen to it. You see something happening around you, just witness it; even if opinions come up in your mind, like oh what is that noise, stop it! or What is happening, I don't like it or wow that's a lovely fragrance - just witness them.

When you become a witness, that is when you are 100% in the present moment! And where is happiness? Its in the present moment :) So what happens when you are in present moment - You are happy! :D

See its so simple, Isn't it?

Lets all of us become crows ;)
