Early this morning I suddenly imagined seeing a feather flying in the air. And it reminded me of someone saying that we should not burden ourselves with so many things - so many thoughts burdening our mind/body/soul. Burdening our soul means adding more karma to the soul. Keeping the soul light, makes our soul karma free. I am no expert about karma and soul's journey. But this makes sense. Imagine keeping everything light - a light heart, a light mind, a light body, a light soul! Just the thought makes me smile. Who really wants to carry heavy burden?
Whatever we do, we do with full energy, and forget about it. That is the only way to sail through life. The number of things we dump on our mind, imagine the brunt it takes. Hats off to our mind right?
How do we keep it light? Someone had said that we should live like a snake. A snake sheds old skin, a whole layer of skin is shed and it moves on. All the burden we carry are mainly based on our past memories. So if we start shedding or throwing away all the past thoughts that are accumulated in our brain, our mind will become light. Consciously, every single day if we can throw away unwanted thoughts just like the way we clear up garbage everyday from our house, our mind will feel so much lighter, as there is nothing in our mind other than the present moment.
Let us shed away our old everything and feel light like a feather :)
