Art of Breathing


People who commit suicide do nothing but STOP THEIR BREATHING.

Why..??

May be because they do not have courage enough to face the LIFE and the challenges, the problems, the sufferings which life offers them not to destroy them, punish them or kill them but only to make them realize their own hidden potential which lies within them but needs individualistic, authentic, thankful & meditative efforts to know their real true self.

Self-actualization, self-realization or enlightenment is what worldly or philosophical people term it but factually it is just total acceptance of life - as it is.

Thank God then, that breathing is something that goes on in spite of us.
Thank God, that we are not required to breathe, because it will be very difficult to live if we were required to breathe.

Someone might forget to breathe for a while and then nothing could be done.

Some other person suffering with egoistic belief that S/HE is the GOD of his life who controls each and every aspect of his life and its events therein might go through some disease or fact of life which s/he dislikes, hates or feels uncomfortable to accept in totality may then commit suicide in that single moment of life wherein s/he lost confidence in not only natural justice that life offers in some or the other way but also lost hope or trust in ALMIGHTY who gave him/her this life to live.



Yet another devil minded person might just try to rule on other people existing on Earth to live a life as per his/her wish or will. Dictator s/he might turn into. A tyrannic individual so to speak, who furiously forces people with his/her money, post or some other power to not only dictate his/her terms & conditions of living a secured life but also makes it compulsory to follow his/her rules without questioning his/her authority to do so. Complete devotion for him/herself is s/he seeks from us or else terrifies us to face untimely barbaric death.



SUICIDE then is not only a cowardly effort ( as heroine of bollywood hit film Aashiqui 2 terms it when she finds her lover has committed suicide because of some lame reasons) which makes suicider's family, friends, colleagues & all those who were directly or indirectly linked with the suicider go through a depressive, disappointed lifelong suffering but indeed is also the biggest disrespect, atheism or naastikta shown to none other than the Generator-Operator-Destroyer of life called GOD.

Yes...it can take us from nowhere to now & here provided we pay due attention to prana......provided we don't keep on thinking, believing & trusting that living a blissful LIFE is not just about breathing consciously.    

Man is bad case....isnt it?

Breath: Doorway to a New Dimension 
We are breathing continuously from the moment of birth to the moment of death. Everything changes between these two points.

Everything changes, nothing remains the same.
Only breathing is a constant thing between birth and death.

The child will become a youth; the youth will become old. He will be diseased, his body will become ugly, ill; everything will change. He will be happy, unhappy, in suffering; everything will go on changing. But whatsoever happens between these two points, one must breathe. Whether happy or unhappy, young or old, successful or unsuccessful – whatsoever you are, it is irrelevant – one thing is certain: between these two points of birth and death you must breathe.

Breathing will be a continuous flow; no gap is possible. If even for a single moment you forget to breathe, you will be no more. That is why you are not required to breathe, because then it would be difficult. Someone might forget to breathe for a single moment, and then nothing could be done. So, really, you are not breathing, because you are not needed. You are fast asleep, and breathing goes on; you are unconscious, and breathing goes on; you are in a deep coma, and breathing goes on. You are not required; breathing is something that goes on in spite of you.

It is one of the constant factors in your personality  that is the first thing. It is something that is very essential and basic to life  that is the second thing.

You cannot be alive without breath. So breath and life have become synonymous. Breathing is the mechanism of life, and life is deeply related with breathing. That is why in India we call itprana. We have given one word for both: prana means the vitality, the aliveness. Your life is your breath.

Thirdly, your breath is a bridge between you and your body.

Constantly, breath is bridging you to your body, connecting you, relating you to your body. Not only is the breath a bridge to your body, it is also a bridge between you and the universe. The body is just the universe that has come to you, which is nearer to you.

Your body is part of the universe. Everything in the body is part of the universe – every particle, every cell. It is the nearest approach to the universe. Breath is the bridge. If the bridge is broken, you are no longer in the body. If the bridge is broken, you are no longer in the universe. You move into some unknown dimension; then you cannot be found in space and time. So, thirdly, breath is also the bridge between you, and space and time.

Breath, therefore, becomes very significant...the most significant thing. If you can do something with the breath, you will suddenly turn to the present. If you can do something with breath, you will attain to the source of life. If you can do something with breath, you can transcend time and space. If you can do something with breath, you will be in the world and also beyond it.

Breath has two points. One is where it touches the body and the universe, and another is where it touches you and that which transcends the universe.

We know only one part of the breath. When it moves into the universe, into the body, we know it. But it is always moving from the body to the “no-body,” from the “no-body” to the body. We do not know the other point. If you become aware of the other point, the other part of the bridge, the other pole of the bridge, suddenly you will be transformed, transplanted into a different dimension.

One has not to practice a particular style of breathing, a particular system of breathing or a particular rhythm of breathing – no! One has to take breathing as it is. One has just to become aware of certain points in the breathing.

There are certain points, but we are not aware of them. We have been breathing and we will go on breathing – we are born breathing and we will die breathing – but we are not aware of certain points. And this is strange. Man is searching, probing deep into space. Man is going to the moon; man is trying to reach farther, from earth into space, and man has not yet learned the nearest part of his life.

There are certain points in breathing which you have never observed, and those points are the doors  the nearest doors to you from where you can enter into a different world, into a different being, into a different consciousness.
