He he :D .. It has always struck as a very complicated concept to me Ravish. Something way distant and something I am not sure if I will ever be able to relate to but at the same time something very exciting to strive for. Such a mystique aspect!
Truly quoted – Nirvana isn’t doing but being and it kinda takes an elevated stand over life and being unperturbed by the happenings around. Phew!

Hahaha…… Nirvana isn’t achievement. Who tries to attain nirvana will always fail. The irony is you are already that you strive to be. The key isn’t effort but remembrance. No effort works, how much you pull your hair, in remembering something. You can only remember in state of calmness & peace. Nirvana isn’t doing but being. :) Happiness doesn’t lies in achievement but journey.

Welcome aboard my friend. Thank you for the metaphor for the quote, we sure need a bell right on the top of our head to announce where we are and to reasess where we want to be. And it all works so beautifully well to make it count..

Thank you Roohi :).. He he, I think we all have done really well under pressure to be where we are today. Along the way, we have never been taught to appreciate the deadlines cos we are so busy fighting them to win over them. But they too have a very important and an elegant role to play, just like this one :)

Thank you Somali. Indeed, the fear of disappointing someone works right through us and we rarely do disappoint someone else as compared to ourselves. Thank you that is a very interesting perspective to this post and a great value add for the thought too.. Cheers..

Same here Maniparna. I have the attitude of waiting till the last minute of the deadline before finishing something. I have come to believe that I am at my best a couple of days before the deadline and I have come to enjoy the pressure associated with it. It makes me feel more alive :D

True Ravish. This really works for the current day pressures and stress levels. For a yogi, he is a man living beyond the limits of time and its pressures, for him the approach towards neothingness is to stand up for the test of time than finishing something within it.. Or maybe even he does have a timeline in the aspect that he has to achieve his nirvana or nothingness in the limit of the time he has been provided – maybe thats his deadline..

Oh even I love them Archana. So close to life and I guess he was one person who never let the child in him die.. I love his other quote – That’s the real problem ,too many people grow up :D :P

Indeed Srinidhi :)
