Intermiscence - Kena Upanishad

Gerade komme ich von einer Andachtsmeditation zurück. Es ist der Jahrestag von Sri Aurobindo. Er hat vor 72 Jahren seinen Körper verlassen, wie man hier sagt. Ich habe die letzten Tage viel über seine Kommentare der Kena Upanischad nachgedacht und gesprochen. Ich stieß da auf das Wort ‚intermiscence‘. Es wird fast nur von Aurobindo verwendet. Ich fragte alle Menschen, die ich traf, was das Wort heißt. Ein Freund hier fand als eine Übersetzung ins Deutsch ‚ineinanderfließen‘ (es beschreibt im Deutschen…

What to do?

Das letzte Mal, dass ich mich ernsthaft gefragt habe, was ich tun soll, war während meines Studiums. Ich habe Philosophie studiert und ich wurde oft gefragt, was ich damit tun möchte. Was für eine bescheuerte Frage, dachte ich immer. Es ist ein innerer Drang, fast ein Zwang, dem man sich nicht entgegenstellen kann. Jeder solcher Versuch muss scheitern, es gibt nur ein Vorwärtsdenken. Es war also gar nicht wirklich die Frage, was ich tun soll, oder was zu tun sei,…

Empty

For many years now, my mind has been filled with emptiness most of the time. My memory isn't good either, and I often repeat words or sentences in my mind without knowing why. Often, it's simply experiences in a word in an endless loop, so to speak, like a mantra. This worried me for a long time. I tried to find excuses and justifications for it. For example, that I've done a lot of mental work and my mind is simply exhausted, down to...

I didn't take much with me to India, just a backpack full, mostly clothes, books, and electronics. However, I did pack good headphones and recently bought an external Hi-Fi sound card from Tempotec for my USB-C port. It wasn't cheap, but it's excellent. I was really happy when it arrived today, and of course, I tried it out immediately. What a mixed experience. The music immediately brought back memories; I remembered listening to it in...

Meditation notes - 6.10.22 Matrimandir

Today, I finally went to the Matrimandir for the first time. Six years ago, I had a guided tour, which is a prerequisite for going alone later. It also makes sense to have a general idea of what kind of place it is, how to behave there, and what would disturb others. During my Monday meditations in Zen-Kreis Bremen, I was often drawn here. It was a place of peace and strength. Sometimes it seemed as if it wanted to tell me something. Well, it has...
