learn to live intensely
volume 4
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM
You cannot feel fulfilled by offering sense pleasures to the senses. Living intensely does not mean fulfilling your senses. Pairing pleasures into your senses or living as you wanted. Be intense, eat intensely. When you are eating, only eat. When you are sleeping, just sleep. When you are drinking, only drink. When you are making merry, just be merry.
When you live intensely, automatically you will be liberated. If you really want to experience life, if you really want to know the ultimate mystery of existence, then the way into it is intensity. Intense in whatever you do. Let you dissolve in it.
Do not be partial, be integrated in yourself. If you dance, dance so totally that you become the dance. There will be no dancer remaining then, only the dancer remains.
When the ego dissolves, the false sense of identity disappears and you can see the flow of the intelligent and total energy of existence through you. We can achieve bliss when we have intensity in our action, intensity in every moment. Intensity decides age. What matters is not the quantity of life, but the quality, the intensity of living.
