It is also a ZERO with no value of its own, but if added to any other digit it adds value to that digit. In Sanskrit, it is Sat, Chit, Ananda – Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss for you and everything around you." Shoonya – is no-thingness, when there was no-thing it was there and when everything will not be there it will still be there. It is more like limitless presence of possibilities. Shoonya also is ZERO, which doesn’t have any value of its own, but added with other digits it becomes something. A ZEN master was asked by his disciple about it, Master said let us have tea first. He took a cup and started pouring tea in it and kept on pouring even though it was overflowing. The disciple said what are you doing the cup is full……
The master said if you can’t get your answer in this process how else I can explain it to you? When the cup was empty it could be filled with TEA, or it could have been filled with anything else but full cup cannot take anything more than the capacity of the cup. Let us take a look our bodies, how much emptiness is inside us? How much emptiness is outside of us and how much emptiness is in the universe??? A person is important within the family and friend circle, you expand it a little his or her importance will narrow down amongst so many people within the community, city, state, country and world, in the universal space that person will have no significance, then why do we get entangled in to subjects where we feel hurt because of non-importance given to us?. Deep down within us there is this sense telling us to create our presence. We get emotionally pulled towards subjects and get affected, dragged in to health issues and disturbance in our day to day lives. Getting in to Shoonya is like getting in to No
conflict Zone. Where you do not judge, you learn to accept, analyze and move on. Be above both the ends of any emotion. The moment you be there you will notice the inflow of new happenings, new possibilities, new opportunities. Why Mindfulness
