THE BOOK OF LIFE
Daily
Meditations with Krishnamurthy
Synopsis by Vimal Kodai
A year, with 365 days (or on leap years,
366 days), a year with days to count on by being meaningful and sensible, a
year with days to count on as being days of wonderments, and a year with days to
count on with fulfilled joys and true joys as such – what does it signify?
The Book of Life,
book by spiritual leader and prophesied spiritual sage, Jiddu Krishnamurthy
studies, meditates on, combs through and surveys various detailed segments of a
human’s daily life when taking into account what he/she has to put in practice
in order to be truly equipped with so that his/her full potentials can meet
daily living norms.
Life, with its detailed guided requisites
in words are hereby being divulged in this book entitled The Book of Life.
To start with, here are the
essential parts that make The Book of Life, the book of life as its
title stands for.
Meditation – what it stands for? First,
meditation stands for a practice being carried out by a mind possessing
virtuous qualities embedded with goodness and purity. Righteous words are
always words that pacify the mind. Righteous words are always words that are written
and spelled out on rightful times. Chosen words and choice of words caricature
and characterize a man’s portrait – his true portrait, a man’s attitude – his true
attitude and a man’s behaviour – his true behaviour. Ignorant
minds, wishful for non-ignorance, need to be fully accountable of sins and
sinful pasts before acknowledging and admitting daily meditation as a practice.
Otherwise, their meditating practices speaks for fakeness and pretentious habit.
Generosity of the heart is another aspect of a pure-hearted being who generates a meditative spirit in the purest of forms. Generosity of the
heart comes from a heart that insights on generosity born from without abstaining thoughts,
or without secondary thinking given to any good intentions. Generosity gives
rise to idea of giving with no grudge or ‘holding back’ ideals.
The meditative spirit finds
silence as the key to prospects. Silence, as the medium of peace and tranquility.
Moreso, this meditative spirit finds silence as the one entity that does not
betray or ruin. This type of silence is a pure silence that yearns for only
truth and sincerity. It is the rightful silent notion meant to generate
goodness all around. Thus, it creates an even better harmonious atmosphere,
filled with even more peace and tranquility.
The Book of Life
targets specific themes that are meant to fit in a human being’s life while
allowing life to feel lively with the solemn understanding resonating from
self-awareness and self-knowledge. Just like life is continuous living process
with a life journey carrying on its course, self-awareness and self-knowledge
are also constructive with phases developing ongoingly in every step of the ‘stepping
stone’ laid at rest to build strong foundation for a peaceful, tranquil and
serene mind, also capable of being undisturbed by outwardly wickedness and evilness.
Therefore, being tranquil and peaceful tallies with a human being capable of
maintaining a quiet and pacifying environment whereby infectious and tormented incidents
or individuals can’t harm or inflict pain on the former.
The Book of Life is a book that even spreads a message, instigating keeping one away from all noises that prevent inner-peace and inner-tranquility. These noises can take various forms of variable degrees. These can be anger, reactive words, unhealthy words, outbursts, overreactions, and subtle forms of unrests deriving from a disturbed mind.
In such ways, The Book of Life delivers lessons that are pure and truthful by allowing one to keep one’s sanity in good hands.
