Life Is Very Short, We Must Think About "How To Always Be Happy"
If you breathe the coolness of the air, how does it get you? Neurologically, it travels almost instantaneously. But there’s another system, beyond your neurological system. The pleasantness of the neurological system, once it sinks deeper, sitting here blissfully becomes a normal thing. Why do most human beings even struggle to know a little bit of peace or joy in their life? Why are most human beings not able to establish this as their quality? I know too many philosophies have been said, but let's look at it technically, why is it not happening, something so simple? So, all experiences of life, how are they entering us? If you breathe the coolness of the air, how does it get you? Neurologically, it travels almost instantaneously.
Pleasant, if you eat or taste something pleasant, or see something pleasant, or hear something pleasant, essentially, first it touches your sense perception. From there, quite instantaneously, the neurological system takes it up to your brain and creates a pleasant experience or unpleasant experience. This pleasantness of experience, and or unpleasantness of experience, is not entirely in the stimuli from outside. Partly, yes – it also depends on how you are at that moment. You are in a frustrated, disturbed mood, and somebody plays nice music “Mmmmm…” “Heyyyy!” Yes, or no? Somebody playing very nice music further puts you into a rage.
So, we must understand, there are two aspects to it. One is the nature of the stimuli. Another is how we are right now, which means what our impressions are, what our samskara is, and what our karmic substance is. So, when everything cooperates and pleasantness happens, you see the morning sunrise, and instead of being irritated “Oh god, one more day...” you felt “Wow... nice. Feeling wonderful.” Now that’s nice. Because the stimuli, when it touches the sense organ, from there, neurologically, it travels almost instantaneously and does things. But there’s another system beyond your neurological system, which is the pranayama kosha, which is as elaborate, if not more elaborate, than the neurological system, but it moves, I would say, 100 times or more, slower than the neurological system. If you hold on to the pleasantness of experience,
the neurological pleasantness that is happening because you’re seeing the sunrise, and you’re feeling pleasant, usually “Wow...” Or something else, or... something. Most people do not hold on to the pleasantness of the experience that’s happening. They will hop all over the place. So, if you hold on to certain pleasantness, of neurological pleasantness – I'm trying to separate these 2 things due to lack of terminology in the English language. What you... let’s say you watched the sunrise, and you felt wonderful for a moment; that moment is neurological pleasantness or sensory pleasantness. For it to become part of your life energy, you need to hold it. You need to hold on to that experience, you must be able to stay there because it’s at least 100 times slower – for lack of exact measure, I'm saying at least.
So, if you’re able to hold on to any experience, normally if you can hold on to 24 minutes, any experience of the sweetness of experience, even if it’s taste – taste, smell, vision, auditory if you do this to yourself, the pleasantness of the neurological system, once it sinks deeper into the pranic system, then sitting here blissfully becomes a normal thing. The sensory experiences, if you stay with it, will become your quality. It’s not something you have to do – bliss. The processes of ecstasy were never written down. It is only in the presence of a certain being, those things happen.
