Retaining the energy!

I have been analzing the concept of equanimity since the day one i was out from the 10 days camp.

Initially i laughed at it saying,' apagal hain kya? Poori zindagi yeh hi karte rahenge kya? '

Very Childish and quiet obvious also. The type of consistency and seriousness required is pretty nut cracking. Nevertheless, I have realized the attitude required for living my life in sync with natural laws.

Coming Back to the topic directly, i would like to share with u people that the concept of Equanimity in Vipassana is multi dimensional. It acts like a Cluster bomb, few of the fragments bursts when you dont expect them to.

Well, i know this thread is about Retaining the energy. I have recently realised that the process of maintaining equanimity actually increases the energy level in the body for progressing in Wisdom. The way Sheel is needed for meditation for increasing the energy level of certain kind, same way, maintaining equanimity every moment, mediating or not meditating, adds on to the energy level in the body.

The moment one looses equanimity, tends to exhaust a load of energy out, further creating weakness in maintaining the equanimity.

Same thing happens with sex. While having sex, at the time of orgasm, if a person practices to maintain equanimity, distinguishably notices that he has retained the energy even after having orgasm. Considering the fact that men tends to loose considerable amount of energy everytime they ejaculate contrary to this women gains energy everytime they experience orgasm. So, evrytime they make Love, women gains vitality and men looses.

I have tried to maintain my equanimity in other acts as well. What ever you do, where ever you do, if you are not equanimous then you r loosing energy every time you do it and when u r equanimous then you feel more and more vital.

It is all funda of Energies. My thoughts are energies, my samskars are energies, my memory is energy, my karma is energy.

From today itself, try experimenting every time u react, u shall feel some type of energy lost out of you and if u maintain equanimity then, u feel srtonger everytime.

All the very best!
