All you have to do is to listen and follow the meaning of the words.

And give her an X.

This is a meditation.

When I have an apartment with myself.

The luxury of being with myself.

It is a great luxury.

When I am free from all engagements.

I have no agenda.

I have no duties.

I have no responsibilities.

It was here it was given up.

It was really a little busy.

Because I have many things to do.

I was satisfied with my people.

I got to achieve many goals.

I have to gain a point of my people.

I have to put on myself.

This is how I am usually busy.

Trying to prove myself.

Trying to please others.

Trying to gain little approval.

Trying to read with more objectives.

And as usually very busy.

I have a little time for myself.

Even if I have some time.

The way I design a timer.

Or worried.

Or anxious.

Or unhappy.

And ever.

In my own time.

I am not in any way with myself.

I need to engage my mind.

In one activity or the other.

Because even when I am with myself.

I am not comfortable with myself.

That is that inner discomfort.

Which drives me from one activity to the other.

Right now I am free from all of that.

This is the time meant for myself.

And there also a little agenda.

Right now I have no expectation for myself.

I want to remind myself that I should be different from what I am.

I accept myself as I am.

I accept my shortcomings.

I accept my limitations.

There is a thing around in being a limited person.

Who is born is limited.

The body is limited.

It has many capacities no doubt.

It is a wonderful gift from Yashwara.

It is a privilege to have this body.

I recognize that the body is limited.

Limited in its strength.

Limited in its capacities.

The body is beautiful and still limited.

That is how the body is meant to be.

Whenever I accept my body,

I happily and lovingly accept my body.

With its virtues and limitations.

I have no complaint against my body.

There is meaning of human.

Young or worsening.

Strong or not so strong.

Healthy or not so healthy.

However long the body is.

I never accept my body.

Acceptance means free from complaint.

Satisfaction.

Believing.

I gracefully,

Lovingly,

Happily accept my body.

I am comfortable with my body.

I have no agenda over the body.

When there is graceful acceptance,

Then there is comfort.

I am comfortable with my body.

I don't compare it with others.

I don't judge my body as superior or inferior.

No judging.

No bending.

No complaint.

I have no interest in this graceful acceptance.

In fact that is the meaning of the word nirvah.

I owe nirvah to Lord Shiva.

I gracefully accept whatever the Lord has given me.

This body is a gift from the Lord.

All nirvah means a graceful,

Loving acceptance of the body.

I wish the Lord has so kindly given to me.

I am not too incongruent,

But I am happy with the body as it is.

I am comfortable with my body.

I am comfortable with my mind.

I am comfortable with the mind which has the capacity to feel,

To perceive,

To learn,

To remember,

To explore.

The mind has these wonderful capacities.

It is true that the mind is also limited.

Each of these capacities is limited.

My capacity to feel,

Capacity to perceive,

Capacity to learn,

Capacity to retain,

Capacity to remember,

All these capacities are limited.

I am comfortable with them because mind is a limited instrument.

The awareness of how great it is is still going to be limited.

However,

I let go all my demands of my own mind,

Peacefully,

Lovingly,

Excepting the mind as it is.

I allow comparison,

Allow judgment.

I allow my mind to remain the instrument to perform various tasks.

And I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

I am happy with my mind.

Nothing free from all reason.

There is nothing to achieve.

Nothing to accomplish.

Nothing to change.

Because the scripture is told to us.

That everything is alright as it is.

I am alright as I am.

The world is alright as it is.

There is a luxury of being with myself.

When I am comfortable with myself.

When there is no dissatisfaction,

No complaint about myself.

When there is a graceful living acceptance of myself.

Of my limitations.

Of my shortcomings.

Of all capacities.

A graceful living acceptance of myself.

Then the mind is quiet.

When there is self-comfort.

When there is self-acceptance.

Then there is no conflict.

The mind is quiet.

It is silent.

As you read,

I am also a silent conscious being.

There is no attempt to become something else.

No attempt to change.

A glad,

Graceful acceptance of what is.

Then there is harmony.

There is silence.

There is joy.

There is joy in self-acceptance.

In self-appreciation.

Appreciating,

Enjoying what is.

Then I see myself as a silent,

Joyful,

Conscious being.

In self-acceptance.

When there is fear from all attempts to change.

Fear from all attempts to become something else.

Then I am in the present.

And present is beautiful.

I am a silent,

Joyful,

Conscious being.

Happy with myself.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Appreciate.

Shanti Shanti Shanti.
