Spoilers - Curious incident of a Dog in the night time

Below I present a few excerpts from the book, which is a must read -

Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about it.

I do not tell lies. Mother used to say that this was because I was a good person. But it is not because I am a good person. It is because I can't tell lies.

Mr.Jeavons said that I was a very clever boy. I said that I wasn't clever. I was just noticing how things were, and that wasn't clever. That was just being observant.Being clever was when you looked at how things were and used the evidence to work out something new.

I am going to find out who killed Wellington even though Father had told me to stay out of other people's business. This is because I do not always do what I am told. And this is because when people tell you what to do it is usually confusing and does not make sense. For ex.. people often say "be quiet", but they don't tell you how long to be quiet for. Or you see a sign which says KEEP OFF THE GRASS but it should say KEEP OFF THE GRASS AROUND THE SIGN or KEEP OFF THE GRASS IN THIS PARK.

RED HERRING - is a clue which makes you come to a wrong conclusion or something which looks like a clue but isn't.

What actually happens when you die is that your brain stops working and your body rots, like Rabbit did when he died and we buried him in the earth at the bottom of the garden. And all his molecules were broken down into other molecules and they went into the earth and were eaten by worms and went into the plants and if we go and dig in the same place in 10 yrs there will be nothing except his skeleton left. And in 1000 yrs even his skeleton will be gone. But that is alright because he is a part of the flowers and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now.

Integrating mathematical science and spirituality

I happened to attend to a series of discourses from renowned researchers and some amazing speakers and leaders in their fields and in leaders in their experiences of pure consciousness/Brahman. The talks were a part of Workshop organised by Dr. Sunita Singh Sengupta, a marvellous seeker and human being, who is a part of Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), University of Delhi. The inaugration was done by Sheila Dikshit and she does have substance, a soothing voice and a magnanimous presence.
There were talks of Zero, Shunyata, Infinity, Supreme consciousness, Global Consciousness project, ranging to Vedic mathematics, states of bliss, and pouring of knowledge. I was personally impressed and in awe when people like Shree Shraddhalu Ranade, Mr. Gaurav Tekriwal, Dr. Dinesh Singh, Dr. Vivek Suneja, Dr. Venimadhavan, and Dr. K K Agrawal talked.
I would try to pen down a few points discussed that left me in awe and inspired me a lot! Its difficult for me to represent the magnanimity of what I listened to, but I will give it a shot to verbalise it.
____
Mathematicians would agree that there is no such thing as an exact number, say 1, 2, or 3. Its always infinity approaching to that number, but the number itself, purely cannot be grabbed. Which can be related to what Shri Krishna tells Arjun in Bhagwat Gita - "I am neither This, nor That. Neither Truth, nor Falsity."
____
Ramanujan said - " An equation in itself has no meaning to me, unless it expresses a thought of God". Its known that he was an avid spiritualist, had firm belief in God and the creations of him, as he describes himself -Emerged/poured themselves from God to his conscious self.
____
THAT from which everything manifest emerges, is WHOLE.. THIS(that we see, or we are) is WHOLE. THIS emerged from THAT, even then, THE WHOLE remains a WHOLE - Esha Upanishad (Dhyana padam). Can be related to a series of numbers going to infinity. If we take out all the odd numbers and make them stand in a separate series, even then - the original series remains INFINITE, as does this extracted series. and THIS infinite is no more no less than the original.. or at least there is no way of determining that.
____
What can you say about the location of, say, tip of a mountain? Is it west, east, northeast.. As you can see, it depends upon how you approach it? The tip of the mountain is that SINGULARITY that represents all sides of a mountain!
A causeless indivisible ONE, out of which everything emerges.. (to know it, one has to jump out of the system)
The unmoving one - always ahead of time, even though the Gods chase after it, it goes ahead..While everything else is rushing, THAT exceeds all, without running.
____
The moment there is one, there is two.. and so on.. In the manifest time space, one can never get singular One. All the otherness is inside itself. All the Universe emerged into within itself. Inside the ONE, the ONE manifests. How is it possible? Well.. When we try to feel it, the mind goes blank.
I am identical with whatever I see. Each part of multiplicity is the WHOLE, the ONE.
Everything is an expression of that ONE -indivisible. Every single object is - wholeness represented. If you want to know that ONE whole, do not see things as separate. In seeing the totality, you will find a complete interdependence. No single event can happen if the other events in the Universe doesnt shape to make it happen. Like the whole ocean moves to manifest a wave.
_____

Where ever THE WHOLE expresses itself, it might appear to be finite owing to our limited vision, but it is in effect infinite. Say for example, consider a A4 sheet of paper. It appears to us as if the length is more than the breadth. we can mathematically prove it to be wrong- Consider a point on the length and diagonally connect it to a corresponding point of breadth. For all the points on the length, one can find a corresponding point on the width. Hence proving that the infinite present in the length is no less, no more than the infinite present in the width! Appearances do deceive. :) This can be related to MAYA/Illusion of finite-ness. It is just because of our ability to Measure out from the unmeasurable.
____
We are all an expression of THAT. Within me is the same 0/0 potential of the origin as much in others. The Big Bang power is in all of us. Evolution then, is nothing but that potential decompressing. We are meant to awaken to become co-creators of manifestations. HE grows as we grow. HE grows through us.
_____
Regarding the evil. if all is THAT ONE.
Everyone has RAMA, SITA, HANUMANA within her/him self. Say if I am an actor, when I am acting out the character of RAMA, I am pushing behind hanuman, and sita or ravana in me. When I am acting out Ravana, the others take a back seat. Explaining that everyone of us has the potential to act out good or evil. The concept of Karma jumps in here. Brahman is its own subject and the object.
As an example again- when a father plays arm wrestling with his little kid. Though he can win the game as he has the potential, he let himself lose pretending to the kid that he actually cannot win. He chooses to be good, where he can be evil too!
_____
When I as a limitation meet you as a limitation, Conflicts arise!!!!
_____
Atheists exist because of God.
_____
All physics equations involve a singularity.
I can see the stars today, because there is something common between them and me. THAT INFINITE ABSOLUTE
____
In the game of hide and seek. There is no fun hiding if you are not found/sought after at all. You hide so that you may be discovered.Awakening process is a delight.--Finding of himself by himself, from himself.

Concept of Sickness- An excerpt from "The art of listening" by Erich Fromm

Most people today have lost their subjective faculty. They can only see things as one says realistically, in the first sense, that is to say they know the world very well as it can be manipulated. But they are not capable of seeing something whether that's something in nature or person, fully subjectively, without any other purpose except the experience of this sight, this sound, this picture.
The concept of sickness is essentially social. If somebody is an idiot, is an emotional idiot, an artistic idiot, he doesnt understand a thing, he is not capable of seeing anything except the practical value of cents, then we call him today a very clever man. And these are the men who are most successful, because they are never distracted as Charlie Chaplin is in the film by the pretty girl who comes while he is working on the machines, and so he loses his grip on the machine, on the endless belt. If you feel nothing, if you have no subjective experience, then you are best fit for society in which everything that matters is to perform, to perform practically. But you are for that reason not any healthier.
The question is open who is more sick, the so-called psychotic person or the so-called realistic person.

A story of her

Well how could one describe her. She was vibrant, full of life, could make friends with any stranger she would meet, would connect to any person she met as if she had known them since ages. She would laugh and enjoy life as it came. She had no big ambitions as she had awakened once and there was no turning back. Everything in the Universe felt connected and everything seemed a fact, yet she could not erase the illusion that life of humans today was, from her memory.
In her childhood years, She was a nerd along with some interests in Arts almost all through her teenage and; was almost the most favorite child of her parents until just recently. She managed to finish her studies abroad and united with India, her native place, whose colors, life, earthiness always called her while the time she was out.
She was convinced that most of her family, friends, and relatives considered her a fool as she decided to leave a lucrative career in research which could have brought her good bucks and a luxurious life abroad. But the fire of the passion inside her heart was such that she went ahead and felt free to explore whatever she wanted to.
There was a remarkable paradox - She connected virtually with every living being around almost effortlessly, yet when it came to follow her instincts, and dreams, she did not fail to be oblivious of the social/peer pressure so overwhelmingly present all around. Even after several warnings from her friends and family she could not help but trust anybody on earth. She just could not do that.

She appeared to be a very confident, charming and friendly personality, but at the core of it there was something which hardly anyone knew. She had no goals except to take care of people and animals around; and it was very difficult for her to have long term memories that are needed in any areas of research or to have long term goals. Her interests were in line with this particular characteristic - she would love to take photos from very different angles, as she was very much present in all those moments she captured, BUT, she could not easily make up stories on those photos, as that required long term memory application.
She often consciously was present to this thing happening to her, and was the only one who knew the origins of it, to which we shall dig in later.
Well, for now she was no more a favorite child of her parents. Reason being her failure to FOLLOW ONE PARTICULAR PATH IN LIFE. She was helpless and no words could describe what she had experienced during awakening, but she only knew it to be true. She spoke less and less, as things she said did not make sense in the world where she deliberately chose to come and live in. At times she did regret her coming back, but at the same time, knew that she was needed here..

A task for us -Giving

Okay. Lets see. I have a task for all of us, my readers (a couple I know, and rest-if there are any- I don't).
Now what we have to do is to be generous. Many times we dont feel like doing something because we think that we personally dont like it, or dont care. The challenge is to do at least THREE givings in a day, consciously. In case you do not find clients, FIND some. In case the client knocks at your door, just go nuts to do the work he/she wants to be done, ignoring the fact that you dont like it, or dont care.
If you are excited to share after it is done, I am here at your disposal !
Love,
monica

Let us question our Beliefs ..

An excerpt from "The Mind in Making" by J.H. Robinson
The "real" reasons for our beliefs are concealed from ourselves as well as from others. As we grow up, we simply adopt the ideas presented to us in regard to such matters as religion, family relations, business, property, our country and the state. We unconsciously absorb them from our environment. They are persistently whispered in our ear by the group in which we happen to live. Moreover, these judgments, being the product of suggestion and not of reasoning, have the quality of perfect obviousness, so that to question them... is to the believer to carry skepticism to an insane degree, and will be met by contempt, disapproval, or condemnation, according to the nature of the belief in question. When, therefore, we find ourselves entertaining an opinion about the basis of which there is a quality of feeling which tells us that to inquire into it would be absurd, obviously unnecessary, unprofitable, undesirable, bad form, or wicked, we may know that that opinion is a non-rational one, and probably, therefore, founded upon inadequate evidence.
`````````````
The spontaneous and loyal support from ourselves, of our perceptions- This process of finding "good" reasons to justify our routine beliefs- is known by modern psychologists as "Rationalizing"- only a new name for a very ancient thing. Our "good" reasons ordinarily have no value in promoting honest enlightenment, because, no matter how solemnly they may be marshalled, they are at bottom the result of personal preference or prejudice, and not of an honest desire to seek or accept new knowledge.
In our reveries we are frequently engaged in self-justification, for we cannot bear to think ourselves wrong, and yet have constant illustrations of our weaknesses and mistakes. So, we spend much time finding fault with circumstances and conduct of others, and shifting on to them with great ingenuity the onus of our own failures and disappointments. Rationalizing is the self-exculpation, which occurs when we feel ourselves. or our group, accused of misapprehension or error.
````

I seriously think that we need to spend time in solace to actually get to know what we say and what we do..

ये हूँ मैं..

रोज़ फिरू मैं बंद सड़क पर,
फिर भी हूँ मैं खुली खुली.

चलते चलते कहीं भी जाती,
चाहे हो कोई गली- वली.

देख राह में वो रफ्तारें,
मैं ना पग से डिगी कभी.

जानू ना अपनी मंजिल मैं,
फिर भी हूँ कुछ सधी हुई.

Kuch yaadein/कुछ यादें

सोच रही थी के जिंदगी में,
क्या हो रहा है ख़ास?

तभी दूर कहीं से, कुछ यादें, भूलीं सी,
आ बैठी मेरे पास.

चलो अच्छा लगा जान कर,
के थीं वो आसपास,
वरना ढूंढते ढूंढते कुछ वक़्त से उन्हें,
ले चुके थे हम संन्यास.

...

Whom shall I share my sunsets with,
since you are gone..
It was only you my friend,
who could see the same poise and truth in the sunset
that I captured,
Only to share it with you.
Now what shall I do ?
I dare not look at the sun setting,
as I know I cannot share it with you!
I know I am avoiding the pain
that I will feel on feeling the sunset without you!
Whom shall I share my joy with,
the innocent joy, that came out of that shared feeling of One-ness,
with WHOM? Oh my friend, now that you are gone!

barsey badal..

Jamke barse hain badal wo jo -
madhya ratri se hi bane huye they.
Hum kya jaane krodh mein they wo,
Ya prem se paripoorn huye they.

Getting in touch with our real selves and with all beings and non-beings around us

Around 42% of Indian population has remained below the poverty line since decades after independence. Reason : Over-consumption of resources by the other half of the population. People, especially in the metropolitan cities of India have become so habitual to excessive consumption, whether its clothes, shoes, accessories, vehicles, Indian rituals, marriages or property and saving money that they now cannot even imagine a life without maid servants, without generators, without air conditioners, and without bank balance.

Most of the parents today are overwhelmed and totally taken away by the obsession of having their children in reputed schools, whether they have time for their kids themselves or not. Result – Kids have money, they have all the luxury in life without any effort, they are not grounded, they go to so called good schools without any warm chats with their parents, as their parents are busy in earning excessive money for them, and the kids are now found to be disconnected from their own selves!

Many of us desire to end this excessive use of resources, but where is our target located in space and time? Shall we just make an awareness wave and request all of us to wake up? Is that going to ring a bell, and hit our soft spots? May be for a day or maximum, a week we try to consume less. But this hardwired program of consumerism will not just go away like that!

Why are we consumed in consumption? Why are we, so called Warm and friendly Indians, not sensitive to the needs of rest of our country/planet mates? What makes us tolerate crime, corruption, indifference, on a daily basis? What are we afraid of? Or are we just shackled by LOOKING GOOD, and we fail to even realize that each and every one around us is trying to look good to us, as we are to them! Aha .. We are in the same prison. We are inmates, but we still are afraid of each other. And guess WHY am I scared of you touching my insecurities? Because I myself don’t dare to confront them. They are like forbidden places to visit, which remain forbidden all my life and I leave my body without having those places adventured.

Why aren’t we so confident of ourselves that we are not scared by others’ (WE all form the category of OTHERS) success or competence? Why our past is governing our futures in such a auto-pilot way, and we are not even realizing that we started the journey ourselves, that we were the directors of our lives, not the victims..

We have become hostile people and we are in denial. We would pass by people waving hands to give them a ride, our car would be having a lots of space, but our hearts so scared and constricted with fear that we cannot even think of such a small support to our fellow commuters. We don’t like machine like lives, but knowingly we are plunging ourselves into a machine and our heads are cracked, and hearts left unloved, unexpressed when we get ourselves out of the machine for the night. Something is missing, we feel it daily, but dare not express it, as it is going to show OTHERS our vulnerability. Ha ha.. We are nothing but a bundle full of pretense, of show off. The biggest fool we make out of all this is no other one but US.

Now, HOW DO WE CONNECT TO OTHERS and FIRST OUR OWN SELVES? Because its only then that sensitivity might appear from the ashes of our egos and we naturally become minimalistic creatures living in harmony with planet mates and the Planet itself.

In her book, WHY PEOPLE DON’T HEAL AND HOW THEY CAN, author Caroline Myss beautifully and vividly describes how we create our own Cancers and many other chronic diseases and how the healing is lying dormant within us itself. We live in past grudges, past resentments, past non-forgiveness of mistakes, and past mis-conceptions and our interpretations. All our energy that would have been available to us for present and creating a new future lies tangled in the past, and we wonder why do we feel lack of power, self-worth, creativity and enthusiasm.

Another book by the same author (INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER), is a series of real life stories on how we regain our power unknowingly and then unknowingly spread it by touching others around us. The book leaves us with tremendous insights on Faith, of which we have traces left in the machine World.

WHAT does it take to get ourselves back into FULL SELF EXPRESSION and let go of LOOKING GOOD mask? One pre-requisite condition is Willingness and the other is Courage to face our selves.

Are you ready for it!!!

We assume ourselves for the personality people think we are, and what we think we are! But we fail to Realise that we are something more powerful and beyond imagination than what our minds that think about us. We ascribe the running of our lives on some GOD other than us and then feel the lack of power and feeling of being helpless, but it’s time to realize that that OTHER GOD is just a separation, a division that our mind has created for us, and the real KRISHNA is our OWN HIGHER SELF. This KNOWING and BEING cannot dawn otherwise, except in confrontation with one-self and in Silence. This silence is not a separate time for meditation or observing quietude, but is an inner presence within all of us, on which we have constructed the present day mess.

Lets be an Archeologist and dig deeper into finding our omnipresent silence, the Source and platform of self-expression and creativity.

Only then, can we even look towards reducing exuberant consumerism and getting back to our powerful connected selves, which are not many but ONE.

Ek raah ..

Pakadna to bahut chahtey hain hum koi EK raah magar,
baaki rahein kahin humaari raah naa dekhti reh jaayein,
yehi soch ke pakad nahi paatey, hum wo EK dagar.

Aaj Fir ..

Aaj fir thake haare wo kadam,
aasrey ki taraf hain lautey.
Aaj fir wohi anjaani si najren,
hazaaron raaz fir samete.
Aaj fir wohi aaj kyon hai,
Wo Kal kyon nahi hai aata?
Aaj fir tum aaye nahi kyon -
Kya raham nahi hai aata?
Aaj fir naye khwaab kayi,
humne palkon par hain sajaye.
Aaj fir apney aap ko, sanwaarey,
hain chaley hum aaye.
Aaj to weh baat keh do,
jo hai abhi tak naa kahi.
Aaj to wo aansoo baha do,
rukey hain abhi tak jo wahin.
Aaj kuch to wakt tum nikaalo,
Ye aaj kho naa jaye kahin,
zara, aaraam kadmon ko bhi de dein,
aaj to hum bas yahin.

kash-m-kash

Bheed bhaad ki iss duniya mein, hun saraaye main dhoondhta,
kabhi yahan, to kabhi wahan, hun sukoon main dhoondhta..
Kabhi farz karta aisa koi raasta, jo khud hi ek saraaye ho,
par thumm jaata yeh soch kar, kahin na paaun apne aap ko,
bheed bhaad main dhoondhta.

On Listening ..

We most of the times think that we are not being listened to .. and most of the times we don't even realize that WE are the ones who is not listening .. I got to know about a wonderful joke from a very humorous friend .. here it is ..

One day Santa feels desparate about a Problem he thinks his wife has..and goes to a Doctor. Santa tells the Doc. that her wife doesn't reply to his questions, or concerns ever.. She never listens..
Doctor suggests Santa to check out for the distance after which his wife loses the power of listening.
So, there Santa is.. at home and asks her wife from a considerable distance- "Sweetheart, what have you made for dinner today?
No reply.
Santa goes closer , repeats the question - "Sweetheart, what have you made for dinner today?
No reply.
Like this, Santa came next to his wife and asks- JAANU (My Love), what have you made for dinner today?
The lady turns back, gives Santa a tight slap on his face, and says -
(in Hindi- pandrah baar keh chuki hun, daal-chawal banaya hai, sunaai nahi deta kya?)
I have said 15 times - i have made rice and lentils, dont you listen ??

The lightening strikes on Santa's head- when he realises that the problem in listening was with him, and not with his wife!!!!
~~~~~
Don't you think, we even fail to realize our own errors in a mad race to point out others' ....

Who are we without .. ?

What does it mean to be happy, delighted? Do I feel delighted all the time? Mostly.. But many a times, not!
Whats wrong if my plan is to be in a DELIGHTED state all through my life? I choose my way of being. I have the freedom to Be. But I understand that along with that freedom, comes enormous responsibility of respecting others' freedom too. And who am I anyways, if people around me feel that their freedom has been encroached. We human beings, although many a times fail to realize, are nothing without other human beings around. What is a leader without any audience who is interested in listening to him. What is a Father, without any children to take care of. What is a Mother, without any kids to pour out her love upon. What is a King, without a population of civilians who respect and honor him?
So, when we know we are listened to, we feel respected and powerful, we feel we should create something for common good. Without a miss, and many a times secretively, we human beings yearn to be listened to. But if we see the present World scenario, we are the destroyers of our own power, respect and worth. This is how it is carried out-
I take a position to which I have arrived through my experiences, prejudices etc. From that position I hear others, in a discussion. Am I able to actually Listen?? Or what is going on in my head is - how to make my position correct, and to prove others wrong in some articulate way..
Am I actually listening? NO way! My windows to listening have been closed since such a long time that they have started making noises, if opened, and rust has deposited on them.
If I now, owing to a sudden insight - open the windows a little - and try to listen to variety of views without any scratch on the plate of my mind, what am I making possible?
To be continued ......

isse kehtey hain hum babbar sher !!!

Hui hai baarsih aaj, jo bade lambe samay baad,
Hui hai Baarish aaj, jo bade lambe samay baad,
Kuch samay to nikaliye janab,
zara mil kar baith lein aaj!

Dikhe they jo baadal subah subah
Dikhe they jo baadal subah subah,
Kahin to wo baras diye honge.
Kon kehta hai ki saari zameenein hum si banjar rehti hain!

I know that I don't know!

After going through a lot of literature on philosophy and education, I got touched, and inspired to enter education, in an effort to change myself, and students for good! Ha ha ..
I entered a school with a lot of ideas in mind, no idea how I will manage. First thing, I start to feel claustrophobic in the system. Second, I came to know that I had no idea how to manage a classroom. Third, I have no idea how to put my ideas to action. Fourth, I got to know that I don't like documenting everything. Fifth, I got to know that although I have a B.Sc. Microbiology, M.Sc. Plant molecular biology, PhD in Immunology, I have no idea what is Science, and what is scientific temperament. Sixth, I did not know how can I coax others to develop Scientific temperament when I dont have one. Seventh, I realize that I have a tendency to go away from things that I start, without finishing them, in case I do not like it.. Well.. I am sure there are many more humbling events I shall be confronted with.. And I am looking forward ! Indeed.
Whatever I think IT is, it IS NOT... and that's it (Shh..no)
Learning, learning..

Unseen room!

Going through some old poems,

I thought ..

Was it me? Or was it you inside me, pouring the words out ..

Or may be I was too full of you, so that I had no space

for the words to stay inside me..

What is it ? I wonder ..

Its like there is moonlight filling my room,

sometimes through the half open window,

sometimes through the chimney,

else through the door ajar..

Will my room be FULL of this light.. 

Will I ever be able to see all the contents of this room?

Well, Why do I have to?

WHO has to?

WHO??

Fullness of Love

I witness my heart,

Melting away with the heat, the lava of your love

Inside me, outside me,

Its all melted, everything …

What flows all around is love, boundless love

It sweeps away my weak thoughts

My desires, my attachments,

Nothing remains but love

A rainy desert, Full of love..Full of you!

IS

My heart weeps, it cries in pain and it yearns,

When it sees the love in abundance Inside, and outside,

In this and that,

Its all you!! It IS you..

What a fool have I been,

How stupid, how ignorant

Not to realize something

Which IS the only thing that IS

Rest all foolishness…

Search

I have caught this flame,

I have got crazy in your love

Looking for you in everything

Weeping in pain over my foolishness

How couldn’t I feel you

When you have always been inside me

Why this torture ?

When you have always been around me!!

You are the eyes which make me see,

You are the me, which holds the eyes

You are this and you are that, everything that the eyes see

And all that what they don’t,

You are the ears and the sounds it absorbs,

You are the hands which articulate, you are the essence of the things they touch, they shape, they make.

You are in the words , still  you are far beyond them,

For help me pouring this feeling out, or let me just burn in your love..

To you , beloved GOD

You seep into my life as the Sun,

Floating through my window, you intoxicate my soul.

You come as the wind

Rejuvenating the air around me

You stand there as the Earth,

Filled with humility and power

Supporting me till eternity

Then you take forms, try to elude me

But your essence is visible in each living form I see

In each and every leaf and bud

Full of love, aren’t you?

It oozes out of you, no matter how hard you disguise.

So, tell me now, why shouldn’t I be overwhelmed

Why shouldn’t my heart melt in your warmth, your love?

When you touch and kiss my heart from inside,

What way am I left with, if not being a whirling soul

Free from the mortal body..

Be Free !! Let the bird out ..

We are living in a world full of fears, fears of death, fears of insecurity, fears of diseases, and above all we are fearful of living life to its maximum. We are scared to expand horizons, scared to leave things not charted all out but just take them as they present, to have some adventure in life.
Human beings have become money making machines, who try to enjoy life by going out to party, by losing themselves to these big shopping complexes called- Malls, Television, or rethinking and re-analzying past events, without any conclusions. We FOLLOW, we follow the latest trends, latest professions.. whatever. Where is the creativity in Us? Are we just robots, who are deviced to follow a mechanical routine? Are we human beings at all? Are we doing OUR best in order to cleanse ourself, before blaming other around us ? Are we respecting everyone around us?
I see there is a vast separation between our personal and professional lives. We have entered into this system of Life, where one has to separately EARN for a living, and then ENJOY living, using that money. Bullshit. This separation is the origin of dishonesty, of corruption and of shallow living, of desperation and of frustration. The result is a world full of crimes, distrust and distraught.
Why cant my life be ONE, ONE with the profession and person, ONE with my family and families people I meet. Why Should we treat some special ones specially and others non-specially. This doesn’t come from inside me. I don’t see a difference whether its my sister or your sister. Forgive me. But I refuse to live in this separation. We are one, and I cannot act but in One-ness.
There is a tremendous potential, an abyss of creativity in all of us. We have blocked it by following systems, by getting entrapped in our own, separate religions, nations, and schools of thoughts. We have dulled our minds by stopping enquiry, (Firstly, Self-enquiry), by being cowards and not asking questions to these things called rules or traditions. Isn’t it time, to take a step ahead, cross that laxman rekha, and be free, and let others break out the shackles too!
Love to all living and non-living beings!
