Medi Object choiceless awareness
Intention to remain alert and to practise metta
Afternoon
all! A brief post during lunch. Today again the mind was full of bad
work thoughts and I am struggling to focus on the task at hand. The
couple in front of me were quite interesting (nice chit chat), as were
the two Japanese women (not talking – looked as though they had had an
argument) who stood in front of me on the District line. Metta was
fragmented although reasonable for about 10 minutes.
My
equanimity is being stretched to the limit at the moment as a colleauge
is being particularly pernicious to me for some unknown reason. I’ll
have to accept it as their sense of humour although my sense of humour
is waning quickly. It’s good that I have been reading Salzberg’s book in
the Chapter “Liberating the Mind with Sympathetic Joy”, the next
chapter is called the “the Gift of Equanimity” and skimming through it I
have seen a good quote…”All beings are the owners of their karma. Their
happiness and unhappiness depend on their actions, and not on my wishes
for them.”
Ommmm…..
