'Be focused on me with your mind' or 'Manmanabav'.
As described in the Mahabharata,
one of the greatest Indian scriptures, this mantra or 'seed thought'
was the essence of Krishna's teaching towards the Pandavas, during the time
of their great struggle.
Although Pandavas and Kouravas were considered brothers, they could not avoid
war ; the 5 Pandavas choose to be guided by god Krishna, the Kouravas
choose
violent, secret and very powerful weapons.
Being focused is a very good practice to face every days' challenges.
This practice could also be resumed as the practice to remember the 3
dots: having and holding the awareness of 3 simple but most challenging insights,
3 points,
which we had forgotten and now need our constant attention:
I am a point of consciousness - 'be a dot' and see 'the dot' in others.
Each moment of time is a point and contributes to the huge wheel of action
and interaction. 'Putting the dot' implies approaching each moment as completely
linked to the past and the future, but completely separated at the same time
- each
moment forms a 'now'.
The Supreme is a dot of light - each step I
take is connected to and 'pointed towards' the Source of light.
By remembering the 3 dots,
the Mahabharata's promise of Rememberance
is realised.
And you become your highest self.
