There is this scene from the movie 2012 – a Buddhist monk sits at the top of some mountain overlooking many other huge mountains. A young disciple sits beside him trying to find an answer to a question. All the old monk does is start pouring out tea into a cup. He continues to pour even after it starts to over-flow. When the young monk points this out, the old man says – we all have lot of things in our mind like the overflowing tea cup making it impossible to take in any more useful knowledge. Clear your mind first.

Thinking along the above I was eating grapes standing in the kitchen. As I am alone at home I do not get to indulge my appetite as it normally does when all are home J. Each grape tasted so good. I was thinking to myself – eating the usual stuff when you’re a little hungry taste completely different.

Adapting the old monks teaching to my case I’d come up with the below:
Leave a little room for hunger (in anything). Do not over indulge.
Have that what is required to just satiate. You’ll experience that fine thing which usually gets cloaked.

Like Leo says, learn to be silent even if it is for a few minutes in a day, so that you can hear your life speak to you.
