“ROUTINES.”

For routine matters, simply let the body do.

Because the body remembers routine activities, so the body can do anything to be needed to do.

Sometimes, however, you thought you may reach for the shampoo to wash your hair, but only to find later that you have washed your hair with something else (your hair was so squeaky that you checked to see, and found that it was actually just soap, not shampoo), or you may have tried to put sugar from a container into a cup of coffee, but only to find that you were about to open a thermos bottle nearby.

However, such happenings are like a comedy that suddenly fall into our daily life and take them as given to us for a necessary laugh for health of our body and mind, so we should just savor them from the heart joyfully.

In fact, if we fully surrender the mind (ego) to the unknown, and always abide at awareness of consciousness, even such happenings will not cause us to feel ashamed, or to be trapped in thoughts as if they are proof of our inadequacy as a person, like when identifying with the mind (ego) and the body.

However, if the some of effects by identification with the mind (ego) that we haven’t realized yet appear within (emotional turmoil, attachment to certain thoughts, etc.), then we can deepen our self-inquiry on that point from there.

In this way, if we can truly savor our daily life, accepting it as it is, the happiness of simply being will not be able to be disturbed.

In this way, happiness is something that never comes with any conditions.

Furthermore, if we can let the body to take care of the routine in this way, meanwhile we will be able to focus on deepening our connection with innermost stillness, and devote ourselves to deepen self-observation and self-inquiry.

In these casual moments of self-observation and self-inquiry of each day, universal wisdom, what we really need to do, or what we need to be aware of at the moment that can be clarified.

Therefore, there is no need to make a decision or habitat of special time for spiritual thing, such as “meditation” or “yoga” at all.

Even in our daily life, it is most important to surrender all of the mind (ego) to the unknown and savor the present moment to the fullest, without any intention or effort.

To savor the moment to the fullest does not mean to live in a playful way.

Rather, it means a spiritual practice of not bringing any judgement to the emotions that arise, whether negative or positive, and not resisting or controlling any thoughts, and being grateful for the precious “now” as an observer through it all, while learning about the mind (ego), not as something that belongs to an individual, but as one of illusions, a mere sample, and consciously choosing the path of alignment to the essence.

For it is in only this “now” that there is for each everything we need, not in another place or time.

The “now” is everything in the moment in which we live.

In this way, every moment becomes a sincere meditation, and naturally living like doing yoga, is to be always very attentive and fully awake spiritually to the now, without ever getting serious.

In fact, there is nothing within being the present moment that requires us to get serious. (OM 🙏)
