Notes for our upcoming workshop...

Jinan Kodapully. To be. How to 'be' with out making any attempt? How to hold a question without any conscious attempt to answer?

The foundation I set up is named EXISTENTIAL KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION. This in a way is about values. values belong to life. But we have turned that into a mere human, that too individualistic aspect. Anthropocentrism is the root cause for all issues we are facing at present. The value for me would be then to be! I am attaching a proposal of mine to set up a 'being academy'. The second question is what i call as the 'koan for modern man'. which is how to 'be' with out making any attempt or one could say how to hold a question without any conscious attempt to answer. Do you remember the Rilke's poem May for once spring clear without my contriving. If this is arrogant, God, forgive me, but this is what I need to say.

May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children. streaming through widening channels into the open sea.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

 I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
 I want to free what waits within me
 so that what no one has dared to wish for

 may for once spring clear
 without my contriving.

 If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,
 but this is what I need to say.
 May what I do flow from me like a river,
 no forcing and no holding back,
 the way it is with children.

 Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
 these deepening tides moving out, returning,
 I will sing you as no one ever has,

 streaming through widening channels
 into the open sea.
