Going with flow

“He or she goes with the flow ” is generally seem to refer to an amicable, low ambition comfortable person, not really very complimentary.

Quite often it is a pleasant way of calling someone lazy. In terms of river navigation it means someone who goes with the current and not against it. Going with the flow is not about throwing your ore and hoping for the best its about awareness.

The presence and ability to blend ones own energy with the prevailing energy. It means letting go of our peson agenda and noticing the play around us.

If we can tap our energy and flow with it we can go where we need to go a whole lot faster than resisting or going against the current. When we go with the flow it does not mean we do not know where we are going, it only means we are open to more than one way of getting there. We are interested in the goal and not rigid about the nitty gritty path.

Going with the flow is to let go, modify and reinvent as the game calls.

Going with the flow means we are aware of an energy that is larger than our small selves and we are open to working with it.

May be we do not trust the flow to take us to our goal. So we cling to our plans and routines that don’t work. we cling to relationshiips and pattersn that are against spontanous flow of our individual nature.

May be it is time to do ourselves a favor, trusting the current of our lives to take us to our destination. we need to raise the anchor that weighs us down, let the flow of the universe take charge and welcome life with open arms.

I like the kannada song that says,

doni saagali, munde hogali, dooratheerava serali

beesugalige yeruthilliyuva therayamelgade saagali.
