we had a very mesmerizing knowledge session with Bawa n Dinesh da and in one of them Guruji asked everyone to write their own knowledge sheet. so promptly that night i wrote this. enjoy and share your views :)

GO BEYOND THE SENSES
Humans have a tendency to possess. it can be seen in simple involuntary actions, which when we observe we realize that this urge to possess anything that we see or eat or drink or touch or feel or smell is such a impression.
When we were travelling from Venice to Switzerland every turn we took we were in amazement at natures hand in creating this place so lavishly and with a lot of attention. But our small mind wants to immediately posses and capture so out comes the camera and we attempt to capture desparately by clicking pictures.
But there are limitations, the wow happening inside us cannot be captured by clicking thousands of pictures. so after a while we just let go and relax and settle down. this is when you can enjoy the nature and beauty around you. when we go beyond the senses then AHO happens inside.
in this trip i have realised how much a sadhak and someone on the path can truly 100% enjoy the nature and the world around them as a part of one big conciousness. thank you Guruji for this wonderful gift.
NEWS FLASH:
the whole group went to Gstaad and had a very FULL dinner at Realto. the Italian owner was more than happy to house and serve 30 young hungry souls. the whole party will leave for Paris the next day and celebrate Guru Poornima with Bawa n Dinesh in french :)
love,
Jai Gurudev!

I have ssooo experienced this urge to just take with me whatever i like. Honestly, i havent really experienced to just relax and enjoy, i still keep feeling the want to somehow take that view or wtever it is with me somehow. But wen most knowledge sheets i dont understand :P this is a cool one that i can actly relate to :)
Very insightful.. :)
Europe trip was quite an experience.
@ manisha: yes the urge is there because we are still humans and not yet enlightened... :) more sadhana will help is guess...me too fighting the urge every now n then but atleast we are aware of the urge and can do something. that is the god thing about sadhaks. others don;t even know that it is a urge which can be curbed and they get caught up in the event and never look beyond :)
it is sooooooooo true.. it was told me when i just finished my baisc course..and i had a flower in hand ok..A rose.. and I told my friend Abhishek I wouldnt give it to him..and he said, I can enjoy it better by looking at it in your hand..and i felt so dumb and foolish..which is why when ppl click guruji s snaps somuch, i feel they are not actually enjoying the presence you know.. but veeery true what you said and super cool too:) put on fb..
Aho parashare...nice post...!!
