A comment about:
Why ‘Truth’ (God) cannot be achieved with intellect?
Glass is always FULL.
Some portion with WATER & rest with AIR.
Clarification:
It
seems that perhaps I was not able to explain it clearly. The example was not
about the technicality ......of glass being filled with air or vacuum. It is
psychological; an intellectual view of two different people who are looking at
the milk. They are only interested in milk. One is sad because there is only
half a glass of milk while the other is happy because half is better than
nothing.
Obviously your view is optimistic, that the glass is always full,
since there is air also; which is an excellent practical way of living a
happy life. But it is not a reality; since we are looking at the milk,
nothing else.
Similarly, we have to understand and face the reality in life;
the reality of ‘Truth’.
This is what I had said:
<<<"It makes us chose
to believe if the glass is half full or half empty.
An optimist will chose to believe the
former and the pessimist will chose the latter.
A realist however sees it in
totality; half full and half empty, and accepts it as it is.">>
(From: Why ‘Truth’ (God)
cannot be achieved with intellect?)
The
point I was trying to make is that God or nature cannot be understood or judged
by any intellectual point of view; whether it is optimistic or pessimistic.
Truth
is the ‘whole’ reality which must be understood and accepted as ‘whole’, and
that is only possible with faith and devotion, not by intellect.

Instead of rushing through each bite, savor them. Notice the smell of the food, how it looks, and the complexity of its taste. Bring your awareness to what it feels like to chew and swallow. Give yourself permission to be fully present in eating or conversations.
