Today 20th, July 2023 marks 50 years since Bruce Lee's passing on
1973. My father had told me about Bruce Lee, his speed, his efficacy
and his life when I was a kid.
</p>
<p>
Only at the very recent I started digging through his style and his
teachings by reading about him and watching his videos.
</p>
<p>
If there is one thing I learned from this spectacular teacher, that
should be - There is no limit in what you do, in what you pursue.
</p>
<p>
There is a blog post I wrote about him last year -

Human brains are tentatively complex for many to write articles, do
research and ideally use it. So, pertinently Im tentative to think
that I know of a small bit of it which Id like to take a small bite.
</p>
<p>
Often, we see and hear of where creatives come up with something new
to the fruition for which they dont tend to acclaim that this is done
by them. This is because of the play of unconscious mind in their
doings. The mind that collects and stores inadvertently. In other
words, without knowing that we are observing that.
</p>
<p>
This part of processing thoughts from unconscious level thinking has
helped many artists bring fruition to their work that leads to
different interpreted projections from people who perceive that.
</p>
<p>
And this elevated thinking takes courage. We see, like Bob Dylan
mentioned, that one can process at the unconscious level. But how long
we can survive in that state until those drains are a matter of
another topic (possibly researched at the scientific level, that Im
not sure of).
</p>
<p>
Society and the system do not pertain to this way of thinking because
it is structured way of thinking, hence people has to go out of the
way to see themselves in a creative state where they can access things
that cannot be done at a conscious level. And this system conceives
that manner as a freaky state of mind. In short, the person is a
freak.
</p>
<p>
The awareness and the happenings at the presence at the unconscious
level is more abrasive, where you notice things thats happening at
that moment in a state that doesnt often show to others that you are
observing that. But for you, you will do that, and you notice that you
are doing it in a state of mind where you are totally out of it. There
is no "Me" in there.
</p>
<p>
The unconscious mind is like the tip of a double-edged sword to you
and to others with you. You play there, you live there as long as you
are able to keep up with that state of mind. And you better feel
lucky, if you can come out of it when you desperately want to.

My mother told me this word "declutter" yesterday, pointing out that I
need to de-clutter my room sooner. It has become a mess recently with
lots of junk that I dont need.
</p>
<p>
It was quite a surprise for me that she knows this term. Probably
she'd have gotten it from watching YouTube videos which she watches
often whilst doing her work.
</p>
<p>
Suddenly a thought came to my mind now, I mean right now. It is not
only about decluttering, but it very much proves a pertinent recipient
for creativity. The points that Im going to mention below regarding
creativity will also contain more attributes apart from declutter.
</p>
<p>
Creativity links to our emotional intelligence, even for a
mathematician who solves with logic does have one or other forms of
emotional intelligence nevertheless of the disagreement if there is
anybody who disagrees with this. This much is certain for me.
</p>
<p>
Now coming to one of the nuggets of creativity, that is decluttering
your mind. By doing that, we put out the standing thousand elephants
on our head and lit the fire that brings us onto more new
thought-processes.
</p>
<p>
This also means forgetting, by which I mean - forgetting the
happenings that trouble you because this often keeps you in a state of
turmoil with fear and worriedness. In order to do this, you need to
enter into a space where the things that trouble you is not within the
reach of your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind will act as an
agent for you to get into this space where creative freedom evolves.
</p>
<p>
This could mean eccentricity to some, like the usual talk goes. Who
cares about that anyway if you want to have some kick in life that you
could share with your grandchild later, I mean if you could live up to
that stage. Alright, lets come back to the point this way of
tricking your habits and bringing it into force where you play
yourself with your subconscious mind, we de-clutter the unwanted
happenings at the subconscious level. And that will lead you to the
phase of creative freedom.
</p>
<p>
Note that this phase of creative freedom has a threshold from person
to person. It can stay for a longer period of time or at a short term.
But rest assured when you can lit that fire in you, you will not be
yourself to worry about this.

Here, I'm going to write whatever thoughts, feelings and information

<p>
Our societal norms is not only filled with people pertaining to the
attributes of materialistic life, it also contains this false
appreciation of superiority to the ones who makes the noise more than
others.
</p>
<p>
I would characterize this as materialist voice. A materialist voice
fame oneself onto the glory of power by falsehood perception that
everything belongs and pertain to the ones who put forth the voice.
</p>
<p>
Whereas, the silent voice doesnt crave this mania, since it doesnt
wave about the perspective or motive towards the falsehood of oneself
or the others. The silent voice belongs to the self which doesnt know
to part ways towards one or the other. There is no separation in
itself.
</p>
<p>
The perseverance of silence is silence. The words of no words is
silence. Silence touches beyond the realm of words. It determines the
aspective towards clarity in life. Silence cannot be suppressed, it
can only be witnessed.
</p>
<p>
In the world we live in where the masters of the materialist voice
perceives that there is no accordance to the nature of oneself is
within oneself. They think the actions that they take regards to the
wellness of others or for themselves are based on external happenings.
The silent voice exemplifies that the worrisome of these external
happenings is the source of not being one in harmony within oneself.
</p>
<p>
The proximity of silence can get others awareness directing to their
cause and transform themselves onto the path of seeking for oneness
and harmony.
</p>
<p>
Henceforth, in praise of silence, I try to say that in the connotation
within the realm of words -- it prevails.

or the others. The silent voice belongs to the self which doesnt know
to part ways towards one or the other. There is no separation in
itself.
</p>
<p>
The perseverance of silence is silence. The words of no words is
silence. Silence touches beyond the realm of words. It determines the
aspective towards clarity in life. Silence cannot be suppressed, it
can only be witnessed.
</p>
<p>
In the world we live in where the masters of the materialist voice
perceives that there is no accordance to the nature of oneself is
within oneself. They think the actions that they take regards to the
wellness of others or for themselves are based on external happenings.
The silent voice exemplifies that the worrisome of these external
happenings is the source of not being one in harmony within oneself.
</p>
<p>
The proximity of silence can get others awareness directing to their
cause and transform themselves onto the path of seeking for oneness
and harmony.
</p>
<p>
Henceforth, in praise of silence, I try to say that in the connotation
within the realm of words -- it prevails.

<p>
One of my friends whose name is Hari Krishnan had shared me this video
today morning. Like me, he was interested in searching for the truth,
or maybe we could say as a spiritual wellness. I told him that I had
his final talks edited by David Godman as a book. He had come to
notice this video interview on YouTube and he shared it with me. No
doubts, I was delighted and thanked him.
</p>
<p>
So, I just watched the whole video. What Annamalai Swami talks in this
video is very simple. But maybe I could say, my mother tongue being
Tamil could be a reason for this.
</p>
<p>
What the interviewer and the interpreter could try to ask makes much
more sense to me, they were trying to see and perceive what made a
Jnani like Annamalai Swami could delve into the self and how did they
continue to stay there in that state their whole life.
</p>
<p>
Interviewer seems to be an American trying to perceive that how could
we live such a life say for example living in New York or Los Angeles.
Where people constantly looking for the other way which is an
illusion. By which I mean, the materialistic life in this samsara.
</p>
<p>
I was taught in an English medium school. And I came to be in touch
with many people from western countries for the last 10 years by being
in ashrams and traveling around. I particularly or firmly established
myself in their way of thinking to achieve something which was - I
need recognition from this world. That said, I don't want to say this
is the fault of the westerners. This is of myself. Maybe I could say I
was thinking I'm the mind and I'm the body as Annamalai Swami puts
constantly in this video.
</p>
<p>
Annamalai Swami asks, when you are in a deep sleep, do you know who
you are? Then the conversation goes like this, we dont - So, we are
not the mind and we are not the body. Who else then? The Self which is
known as Atman is a revered word in this philosophy. I cannot say it
clearly because the irony is that I'm like that interviewer who
sometimes can feel that but it fades away because of this society that
we are living in.
</p>
<p>
One more important question regarding the point Ive mentioned above
which is fading away, Swami says that constant inquiry is Jnana which
resonates with me deeply.
</p>
<p>
It seems like reading, watching and understanding is all few
percentages but the thing is we need to stay there and inquire
ourselves the question that Swami says.

Just went to a tea shop, the FM Radio played about doing smart work

Every smartness that comes in you is the hours and days you put your

A pertinent thought arisen me due to the recent events of death and
war is that how much could we lose? There could be many like this guy
in the article who absents away this world without seeing others
lives happier through their art or by any means and remain unknown
forever for us poor remains.

Many generations come and go and as an individual you most likely have
few people in the past to admire and learn from them and try to
incorporate the working some of those characteristics for you.
</p>
<p>
And for me, Bruce Lee is one such person. I'll try to explain how and
why his life had impacted me on my professional carrier and more so
with my personal life. More importantly, I'm going to convey this in
my own style without formally reading his books or books written by
others about him.
</p>
<p>
We all know that Bruce Lee is not just an extraordinary martial artist
but also a deep thinker. So, that much I know from watching videos
about him and some resources and his quotations that I learned from
the Internet. Hence, I'm going to give a brief of what my perspectives
about him are.

<p>

>Bruce Lee Interview by Pierre Berton</a
>
</p>
<p>
Bruce Lee's simple philosophy of living is his explanation of "Be
Water" portrayed in his The "Lost" Interview in Pierre Berton show.
There is a catch in that which is very important where he says "be
formless and shapeless". It means that if you are too rigid on
yourself; you cannot grow and mature in your life. It can be seen in
his fighting style that were changed and adopted during different
phases of his life and coming up with his own martial artform called
Jeet Kune Do.
</p>
<p>
It doesn't end there; he also puts one more important point in that
interview which is the yin-yang philosophy. He portrays that as - "You
cannot be too natural or too unnatural, the ideal solution is natural
unnaturalness or unnatural naturalness".
</p>
<p>
This is what they say in Buddhism, walking the middle path or to put
in other terms, the way of life is to change what you can, but never
lose to go with the flow as well.
</p>
<p>
One of those many thoughts of Bruce Lee that was said by his close
knits and his students is he wants you to live by your own goals with
your own principles and not just being a mere follower of somebody or
himself, but expressing yourself honestly to others and to the world.
</p>
<p>
There are many players in this world, who inspire by talk. But the man
in the arena guy for me is Bruce Lee. Because his very living in this
world is an example that one can succeed with hard work, determination
and deep focus.

<p>Nothing can beat this - there could be lot of books, videos, documentaries on life and well-being, spiritually
and philosophically and even others' lives if you consider to follow but Learning from one's own experience is
the most powerful one of all.</p>
<p>If you find that way, you will find the way.</p>

<div class="content">
<p>
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2 and Social Anxiety disorder when I was 17 years old. I remember when I was doing High school, the 2 years I did, my disorder became intense, and I succumbed to psychosis heavily. I remember that I could not wake up from my bed and particularly could not go outside of home. It is very hard to think about those happenings again now. I felt that everybody was acting against me and at one point I thought my mother was poisoning me with my food.
</p>
<p>
Im very lucky, I got a treatment from a psychiatrist at the end of my 2nd year of high school. My mother noticed and took me for the treatment.
</p>
<p>
We can name many disorders in a patient by doctors and till now to be honest I do not know whether Im diagnosed correctly including the meds Im taking continuously for the last 9 years. It does help to some extent where my mood swings are not very worse. The anxiety I have when I go outside is a bit tricky to handle though.
</p>
<p>
Again, being on medications does help and ease certain things. And as always there are side-effects to this. My nerves seem to be getting weirder, and Im noticing that my fingers start twitching now and then.
</p>
<p>
But I worry less about this, and the reason is why below content.
</p>
<p>
This is one part of me living with Mental health disorder and I know that this is certain that I cannot get a cure but that doesnt mean that I cannot live. I will now come to the other part, which is a portion of mine, I see as a good thing, which is handling when I know when I get into it. Because I know when you are living with this sort of disorder for a longer period, you can predict and feel when you are down and depressed. In my case, I can do that, and I often be conscious about that. I never hesitate to share what I want to share with others, because there is nothing there to hide and nothing there that is non-universal. Everything has its own purpose.
</p>
<p>
So, in those words I feel that life is not alone. Because I feel we are not alone here and after and more so, I can go ahead and say - the universe is not alone. Everything is an embodiment not one of either but both. There is both good and bad, there is both negativity and positivity, there is both silence and sound. Thus, there is both presence and absence. The presence when you are in the comfort of a person can also be felt in their absence if you seek it.
</p>
<p>
I feel this understanding and it is there to move further and keep breathing, that I am not alone here and after. This is not just a thought that I keep motivating myself. I do not want to motivate and get motivated; I just want to live and walk the walk. If I do this, life will take care of it by itself. It is very simple, keep breathing. How worser can it get, I do not know I just need to keep on breathing and thats all.
</p>
<p>
My master “Fr. Korko Moses” who is a Christian Priest but teaches from all the religious texts and embrace the self-experience of oneself. He is more of a seeker than a religious person I would say. He told me this quotation quite strongly when I was with him. He did not put God in it although the original quotation has it; maybe because he might have thought that we didnt come to that point and likely our interactions were lasting only for few years till he became ill with Parkison and moved to a place farther away where I could not travel to see him up until this point neither speak with him on Phone because his voice had become weak and he is feeble. And the quotation is:
</p>
<p>
“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference”. It is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer" target="_blank">here in detail</a>.
</p>
<p>
This is a beautiful one and the trickier thing is the wisdom to see and understand the difference, particularly for a person with bipolar disorder, I would say.
</p>
<p>
All those 3 things come through practice and practicing is what life is about. I take one step at a time: Acceptance is what when you realize that in life certain things are the way as it is. Courage is when I see that I can help make the difference in others lives and do it by helping; by sharing. Wisdom? I let it come by itself.
</p>
<p>
The last thing I need to share here is “Training your mind”. There is a Tibetan traditional teaching called “Lojong”. It basically means, “Mind Training”. And I saw a speech online from one of the people who does this teaching. And that person is “Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo”, if I recall now on all her sayings in the talk, she calls it and portrays the Mind training, a Jewel. And I say here and now that this is the Jewel I am seeking for by practicing and I hope you too!
