A small Zen story:
A king went to a Master, and asked: ‘Master how can I become enlightened? Tell me about all the practices you do. What did you do to become enlightened? Please teach me’.
The Master says: ‘Oh! I eat when I eat; I sleep when I sleep. That is all I do’.
The king could not understand.
The Master explained: ‘When I eat I only eat, I do not do anything else when I sleep I only sleep I do not do anything else’.
I read this story some 15 days before , thought of blogging that time only. But thought that I will try myself first and write about it. I put a remainder in my mobile like "I EAT WHEN I EAT , I SLEEP WHEN I SLEEP" !!!. Every day i was remanding about this 6 to 7 times :). When ever I seen this remainder I use to start work one thing at one time and concentrating. Concentrating on one thing at time and giving 100% of my effort on that is really its working great and i am enjoying task also. I am able enjoying the every moment of that work. I was distracting with so many things , but my mobile use to keep me reminding about this "simple thing".
Multitasking , parallel work, this are all good for machines not for human beings. We should involve ourself in the act, which we are doing. This will set your inner soul in motion. It is not the only the work ,even any act you do, just concentrate on that and do. Simple act like brushing your teeth in morning :) . Involve totally yourself while talking with some one, it will make your relationship with that person strong.
Really its a simple method for great success in our life. Just "Do One Thing At One time".
Thats why I Blog When I Blog :)
