Two men meet on the street.
One asks the other: “Hi, how are you?”
The other one replies: “I’m fine, thanks.”
“And how’s your son? Is he still unemployed?”
“Yes, he is. But he is meditating now.”
“Meditating? What’s that?”
“I don’t know. But it’s better than sitting around and doing nothing!”

If one day I say I am a Buddhist, the next a Christian, the next a Hindu, the next a Jew, the next a Muslim, and the next something else, has the “I” actually changed, or only the opinions of the mind? Who am I? That cannot be answered with a mere opinion of mind. It can only be experienced in the stillness and silence of direct experience, wherein these divisions evaporate.

Life is pretty simple. Love, serve, remember seems to work pretty well. Oh, yes, and I meditate, like the fellow above is saying about his son.

My website is http://www.swamij.com/ and my bio is at http://swamij.com/swamijnaneshvara.htm.. I’ve also made over 30 videos on YouTube, at http://www.youtube.com/yogabindu.
Some of us have started the Center for Non-Dualism in Florida, with people from different traditions, religions, or lineages, but who share the common perspective that there is one reality without a second, and that we are like waves with the ocean, not just “connected,” but literally of the same absolute reality. The site is at http://centerfornondualism.org.
