Life as it is…..EPISODE 20 : Life is an enigma

2010-09-07T03:17:00.000-07:00

Life is an enigma. It is an eternal flow. Life is creation. Creation, which masquerades under the subtlety of an elusive energy, has always remain a mystery for many. Life, construction, death, destruction, expansion and constriction are not different from one another but life manifesting at its fullest capacity. Each breath of ours, each step that we take, each word that we utter, each thought that passes through our mind and each experience we go through are all life, nothing but only life.

Past always remain hidden; present is the existence; future is shrouded in mystery. As creation proliferates, we find ourselves a place in nature as the mightiest in wisdom and intelligence compared to millions of other species on earth. We have to do the necessary tasks to set exemplary actions in order to bring this earth to another high platform by raising the level of our consciousness and upliftment of life by means of positive networking and values. But, along this journey called life, something dreadful happened and humankind contaminated with many negative values such as jealousy, anger, hatred, racism, religious bigotry, lust and selfishness, all that threatens to uproot humanity at any time. The joy of living misrepresented by qualities that are not inherent in our nature, but the rush for survival has turned human beings into materialistic creatures thus killing the essence of their oneness with one another. Of course, we do not have a yardstick to measure human values and other qualities in us, but the mannerism of our interaction with the environment and people can explain a lot the type of persons we are. By means of constant self-analysis and efforts to inculcate positive and generative values, we can gradually ascend to become better persons.

Nature veils and unveils itself every second for humankind to observe the intimacy and secrecy of creation, and subsequently attempt to comprehend the meaning of life. But, only a small group of people able to comprehend the greatness and meaning of creation and life.

Life as it is…..EPISODE 19 : DEPRESSION

2010-08-31T01:43:00.000-07:00

Silently it lurks in the corner of our minds. Some of us choose to shirk it from the surface, but keep it active down deep. Depression is a natural and illusive killer. It kills the whole person alive, before it finally laid to rest by suicide. Be it mild depression or severe depression, both have the same impact on a person. In most cases the symptoms of depression maybe visible, but not in all cases. Most often than not, mood changes is one of the primary symptoms of depression.

A depressive individual usually does not like to do many things, which were routine for them. He or she may stop eating, sleep disorder, mumbling alone, talk about same things repeatedly, or withdraw their selves from the world around. They are many factors that contribute toward depression. The common ones are love failure, dead of loved ones, job pressure or financial loss. Only a well-trained psychiatrist can determine the root cause of depression in a person, and that very much depends on the patients. Some individuals do not like to discuss their personal matters with other people, thus it is not always easy to draw a line to pinpoint the actual cause of depression.

To avoid triggering the worst reaction in them, one must always be very tactful in handling a person diagnosed with chronic depression. Since we may not know the underlying causes for depression, gentle and broad-minded approach is very much preferable compared to harsh and direct methods. Apart from medical personnel, a person working towards helping a depressive individual must be someone who has gained maximum trust and is in closest relation with him/her. It is not as easy as one may think. Depression can occur repeatedly over the time and those closest to the person must always be alert of even slightest changes in them. Prolonged unattended depression may result in severe psychological disorders and increases the risk of the patient inflict physical injury to themselves, become mentally disoriented or commit suicide.

However, various modality of treatment is available. But, it all depends on the patients mental strength or will power. Administration of drug over a long period is not advisable, but most often physicians are left without much choices. The patients usually advised to take a long rest in the company of the loved ones or to be actively involved in their favorite activities to keep their minds from distracting thoughts.

Life as it is.....EPISODE 18 : PARENTS'S FOOTPRINTS

2010-08-24T09:57:00.000-07:00

Silently secrets of life unfold. This universe and perhaps countless others beyond the reach of our physical sights are undergoing tremendous metamorphosis. The perpetual rotation of earth on its axis plus countless planets and stars synchronized in this play of ‘silence’. Irrespective of size and speed, each moves on its own path performing the action relevant for creations to go on.

Like the creation, in a corner of the dilapidated building, a teenager silently goes on doing his daily chores unperturbed by the busy lives around him. His parents abandoned him there when he was a toddler and some kind souls helped him to get into a Shelter Home for the neglected children. At eighteen, he decided to leave the Home and returned to the same spot where his parents left him years ago. Someone might have told him the story about where and how his parents abandoned him, without least realizing the repercussion resulting from it.

The place looks dirty with all the trash, animal carcasses and rotten woods scattered around. He was squatting amidst the rubbish and gently trying to remove the pile of rubbish one by one, in a very meticulous manner, as if handling pieces of broken glasses. I stood by the electric pole adjacent to the old building and stared at this strange yet interesting character. In my mind, I was asking some questions of which I never get the answers until now. I asked some of the passersby but no one gave me good answers. All that I hear from them is, ‘He is mad character’. But, I don’t think he is mad. A clear separation differentiates him from the sane and insane. Still I am very much disturbed to see a young man spending his time in the middle of piled rubbish. Occasionally he turned and stared at me before resuming his interest.

The curiosity began to well up within me, and finally I decided to approach him and find out what is that exactly he is looking for. Perhaps I could help him to find that, thus save him from cruel heat of the sun. I moved towards him slowly, very much aware and prepared to face any untoward reaction from him. As my feet wade through the muddy soil, I could smell the stench of carcasses, so strong, unbearable. Once I am closer to him within the distance of a meter, he stared at me. There was a deep longing in his eyes. I did not open my mouth yet, when he suddenly burst out crying. I placed my left arm on his right shoulder, while my left arm was wiping his tears. After a brief moment, we exchanged a few words and he was certain that I am not an enemy but a friend. He continued the search again, and I interrupted with my question.

“What are you searching my dear boy?”.

His answer rooted me to the earth.

“I am searching for my parents’ footprints. I want to go back to them”.

My tears rolled, and I retraced my steps with a silent prayer in my lips, not knowing what to do at that instant of time.

Life as it is...EPISODE 17 : LIFE ETERNALLY SANCTIFIED

2010-08-23T10:24:00.000-07:00

Life flows on. Irrespective of weather condition or catastrophes, life flows on. Yeah...it is an undeniable fact that life is always in motion towards eternity. The perpetual flow is a game given to us to play it well, but we are at fault most of the times. We violate every principle in this game called life.

There are so many rules that is required of us to follow. Our little minds tend to shrink and break all the rules at the expense of everything pleasantly divine. To speak of some of them, we can say we try to follow gratitude, but soon to be replaced with ingratitude, we try follow honesty, but soon to be replaced by dishonesty, we try to speak the truth, nothing but the truth, but soon to be replaced by untruth etc. etc. Some of us might say that no one can follow the rules 100 percent as sometimes circumstances may warrant us to go the other way round. Well to an extend, this scenario might arise, but let us exhaust our avenues for positive judgment before we go the other way round.

Endowed with strongest ability to discriminate things in life, we are the one making most mistakes and committing most errors. And, the concept of treacherous minds, exists only among us, the so called human beings.

Religions and moral code of conducts were used since time ancient, as tool to mold the minds and lives of the people. But now all these are fast becoming destructive. The wrong interpretation of religious verses and practices which are out of time and convenience have resulted in many violent activities between the followers of every religion. Mere understanding of a religion and claim to profess one will not help to unite mankind, unless the essence of the religion is practiced and manifested in our daily lives.

Thus, we can say we are the designer of our lives. Whether we want to follow the righteous path by absorbing more good values in our lifestyle, or to follow the unrighteous path by violating every rule there is, all depend on us. The whole life is placed in us. We create the concepts and we erase the concepts. We were created in the image of God, so says many scriptures of the world. Alas!! We have deviated far from remaining the image, what to say of getting closer to God.

The world is in our hands. The future lies now in our hands too. In the parallel context of time, the past, present and future is one, and never different. Time heals, thus we too must attempt to abide the rules in time, to be healed.

Life as it is......EPISODE 16 : LIFE A CONTINUUM..LETS GO THROUGH PEACEFULLY

2010-01-29T03:28:00.000-08:00

The moment of birth speaks loud to proclaim the continuity of generation. The seed is here now. Whether the generations will flourish or not, that is another matter. Humanity wears a proud smile at each birth that comes by. Birth is just a marvelous philosophy that life produces continually everywhere at all time.

With birth comes relationship and a birth may result in change of status and relationship between the newborn and the world around. A man becomes grandfather or father, a woman becomes grandmother or mother, a girl becomes sister, a boy becomes brother, others become cousins, uncles, aunties etc. The list is endless. In some culture and society, the importance of birth is joyously anticipated with some celebration in store.

Gradually as time passes by and everyone enters childhood, teenage years and adulthood, the interests and passions too undergo changes. Most of the time it revolves around sports, courtship, education and job scope. Not all are born with silver-spoon, nor a good health to ride them through the life. Those fortunate ones sail through life with less obstacles, while others have to fight against poverty, health and family problems.

Some one said, life is what we make of it, so let us together make something positive out of this life without wasting this life with frivolous stuffs.

Life as it is......EPISODE 15 : IMPENETRABLE GAZE

2009-12-14T21:03:00.000-08:00

My eyes staring far unto the eternal gaze of the universe. I wonder and marvel at the power that generates, preserves and sustains this universe from its macrocosm part of the visible worlds and microcosm part of the invisible realms. Though science is slowly unraveling both aspects of universe, I believe we are still nowhere closer to a nanosecond of achievement. The manifestation which takes many million years to form a feast to our eyes is still hasn't reach its height, for every second there are still billions of layers unfolding silently in some unseen corners of this universe. Inconceivable indeed the power that lies encompassing the entire universe.

My eyes entangled amidst the mysteries that speak of this majestic secrets of preservation and dissolution. It gives me an euphoric sensation as time slowly let me mingle with the universe in my own meditative mood. I see the universe is always beckoning me to bare my soul and be part of her. I know, my experiences with the outer world keeping me at a distant from becoming the universe itself. Whatever experience I gain from my senses, can never take me closer to my own self, because they draw a lot of my mental energy towards the outer world and keep my inquisitiveness confined therein. I wish I can slowly minimize the sensorial experiences and be again with my own self basking in silent bliss. Universe here I come.

Life as it is......EPISODE 14 : OBSESSION

2008-11-09T16:14:00.000-08:00

What is obsession? Obsession is a state where one become extremely self-centered and in continuous state of wanting to entertain or entertaining his/her impulses which is inexplicable to reasoning. It is an impulse that people do not want to ignore despite knowing the ill-effects of it in term of time, health, money and relationships. When there is a chronic recurrence of thoughts or impulses, which at times may lead to extreme behavioral changes, we can call that state as being or becoming obsessive.

People can be obsessive of many things in life. At times people just do not realize that they are obsessive with many things in life. People can be obsessive of love, beauty, food, health, status, lifestyles, relationship, sex, clothes, studies, work and the list will go on endlessly. Obsession is not a healthy state of mind because it keeps on harping on the same need for a long period of life and may make one lose their focus on other aspects of life.

If an object or subject of obsession is not met, a person may experience three levels of feelings, which are resentment, anger and fear. These are not healthy feelings. They can leave tremendous damaged and impact to our nervous system. Persistent and increased degree of manifestation of each feeling may result in long term depression which at times can be fatal or suicidal.

Resentment provokes bitter memories of past experiences. Harboring on these bitter experiences makes one kill the life instantaneously and fail to live the present. While, anger arises from immediate after effect of an argument or misunderstandings in the present. Anger is not serious and can disappear within hours or days. But, if prolonged it will turn into resentment and this can be very complicating. Out of anger and resentment fear arises. Fear is always related to future. Past experiences create the trauma and this lead to fearing of a repetition of the same.

Life as it is......EPISODE 13 : SPIRITUALITY

2008-11-07T20:33:00.000-08:00

Life evolves around spirit for survival. A person without spirit is worst than a dead man. To expand across this mystery of spirit, religions and sectarian beliefs were created, and I believe still being created by mankind. To become subtle and receptive to world man began to explore nature from different aspects, one of it by placing him as an object of experiment. Mankind places themselves under certain kind of restrictive orders which refrain them from harming themselves and also others. These restrictive orders gradually converted into moral codes of conduct which do not apply to all simultaneously. A lot of do's and don't's applies here. Each accepts the manner that suits their temperament and adjust themselves accordingly. Under the cloak of spirituality people still have the opportunity to chose what they like and ignore that which do not fit unto them. This is human right. Let each choose their own path(s) and live rightfully, right to the fullest, so long they do not trample others. But, what is this term 'spirituality' exactly means? Quite often I repeat the same question to myself , only to leave the question to remain where it was, and walk away within my mind. I feel spirituality is a most misunderstood concept when it comes to talk about God. I am not saying that there is no God. God for some, consciousness for some, nature for some and nothing for some. This belief in a God doesn't serve any purpose if one fail to understand and relate themselves to what is wanted in the name of God. God do not ask us to surrender everything we have, nor God ask us to keep everything we have. God says, 'share' what you have. Your compassion, tolerance etc.etc. Most often, from my personal observations people mistook spirituality as an act to correct and moralize others in the manner they think and behave. But, never to correct themselves. Anyone with common sense can tell that spirituality cannot be a blind concept to continually justifying others on various grounds. Failing to understand that each is created with different mould, many going around telling people to jump into one same mould, which is theirs!!

What one does in the privacy of one's life is none of anybody's business. Spirituality is not pointing one's finger at others. Spirituality is unconditional acceptance of entire creation and being one with them. Spirituality is not curses in the name of hell and Satan, but continuous unbreakable love and tolerance surpassing human faults. Spirituality is a dignified state where one sees all as being part of oneself. When one is able to see all as being part of oneself, all the differences and judgmental attitudes will cease. Then, life shines eternally for them. A heart filled with compassion is the abode of the Lord. Let us together pray that this wisdom dawn on us, so we will be able to love all impartially. Until then we travel together, with compassion.

A life full of religious codes and conducts are meaningless without an iota of compassion for mankind, especially for one's so called enemies and the suffering lots. Peace be unto all.

Life as it is......EPISODE 12 : WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

2008-10-28T18:50:00.000-07:00

Every day is another day in life. Life is cyclical. Yes, we can't deny that. Things may repeat many times at different phases of time. Yes, life is cyclical. What was yesterday's dream, may have become today's reality. What was yesterday's pain, may have become today's pleasure. What was yesterday's love may have become today's hatred. Things go on repeating in life. Yet, not many of us realize that. Why? Because, our mind deceives us to believe that every experience is a new experience though the taste, sight and sensation may just be the same as before. There is nothing wrong in repeating experiences if we gain some happiness and pleasure along the way. We naturally, try to avoid pain and wallow in pleasure all the time. Pleasure is just an interval between two sorrows. And, likewise sorrow. we may have come across this statement many times in our lives, yet its truthfulness and the reality it stands on, never dawn on us. Let us live life as it comes. Do things that we love. Show gratitude towards life. Every little things in life matters to us. Do not push aside anything nor take things for granted. Grab not that which belongs to others. Always learn to give for good cause. Set aside time for good things. Remember, life is cyclical. What goes around will come around. May peace be unto all.

Life as it is......EPISODE 11 : DEEPAVALI, JUST DEEPAVALI? NOT MORE THAN THAT?

2008-10-26T21:09:00.000-07:00

It is Deepavali day, the festival of light. This is one of the famous festivals among the Hindus. Well, every festival dwells on lights. Name one festival where there are no lights or fire to represent goodness and to ward off darkness. Hindus from every nook and corners of the world celebrates this event to mark the beginning of sunshine in their lives, especially in their minds. They pray for many things such as well being, wealth ranging from good family, good crops, good money, good partners, good children, good education, good good good and many many good things in life. It’s ok. There is no harm in asking for many good things, instead of asking for one bad thing.

God is gracious. He gives and gives. But, a question we may ask on this special day, are we ready to take and make use of everything God given in a rightful manner? This means sharing the good things with our unfortunate brothers and sisters irrespective of race and religion. This also means willingness to sacrifice the good things blessed when there arise occasions where others may be in demand of those things. Are we ready?

Deepavali starts with early morning oil bath. Hey common guys…this doesn’t mean that we pour buckets of oil over us. In Hindu tradition applying some oil on the body signifies an act of purification, then they will wear new clothes; lighting of oil lamps, followed by prayers at home and going to temples. Festive mood is not over yet with all those activities. Now it is time to invite and serve our friends and relatives. As part of the tradition, some people would pack some Deepavali cookies to be given to the neighbours. Talk about Deepavali, we can’t run away from TV programmes, movies and also some cultural activities. Great. Go and enjoy yourselves. Get immersed in the spirit of Deepavali with fireworks. Let the children run free today. Lets everyone be liberal in thoughts and moods. Be positive. Lets initiate the goodwill and brotherhood among mankind.

Then, what? We forget Deepavali? And, wait for another year to come by? Together with the celebration, let us remember that this day act as a reminder as well. Reminder? One may start to scratch his/her head? Yes, dear friends and relatives, it is not just a celebration but a reminder to us to forego at least one habit which doesn’t serve well to us and also to society. So, every Deepavali is a moment to shed the wrong kind of habits and replace it with some positive ones. We can do that. It is not only during Deepavali, but also during every festival or every religion the followers must aspire to give up at least one bad quality in them. Then the meaning of true celebration will descend upon our arid mind. The significance become clear. We too can lighten ourselves from unwanted elements. God Bless. May peace be unto all.

Life as it is.......EPISODE 10 : Be PRACTICAL

2008-10-17T21:14:00.000-07:00

I go for jogging everyday. But, what surprises me is that it never tire me. I remain fresh as before. I wondered, why? Then, I realized I must be mad to jog in my mind. It just goes to say, that anything entertained by our mind will not come into fruition, unless it is applied practically.

Life is practical. Don’t spend money and time to understand imagination, resentment, religion or strive aimlessly to understand rites and ceremonies. Live a simple life with ample love and compassion. Thinking about living a simple, do we need to crack our head to profess a religion by cutting off ties with families, friends and the societies? Think simple. You need not strive hard to live such a live. It is our nature, our birth right. Many spend time in understanding the principles laid in the religions without least awareness that these so-called principles lie within each one of us. Try to understand and embrace more and more people within our fold of love. Render help to as many needy individuals in term of food and education. Live the life. Don’t spoil the life with extreme beliefs and cultures. Move on the surface and let your mind swim deeper. This journey is a travel from our little ‘self’ to the big ‘SELF’. It ends where it begins.

Don’t growl at others. Cool down in the hours of utter dismay. Spirituality has no religion. It is beyond ideologies and religions. Only LOVE speaks. Let us be the torch that lit up people’s life and not to burn them unto ashes. Peace be unto all.

Life as it is.....EPISODE 9 : MEDITATION

2008-10-17T11:22:00.000-07:00

People meditate. Meditation is a process. A process of being mindful of every little act performed consciously. To harness the after effect of mindfulness we need to find a quiet and clean spot, preferably close to nature such as mountains, by the river, trees or lakes. Nowadays, it is not that easy to find a quiet and clean spot, so one’s own private room charged with good aroma and aura can be used too. There we should sit and contemplate on every act of mindfulness performed during the day. As we consciously move our thoughts from one act to another, a profound and pristine feeling would arise. Of course, this need to be done on regular basis, at the same time everyday, wherever one goes to. So, if we take time to ponder over the actual meaning of meditation especially for the lay man, we will come to grasp that it is not merely sitting in a rigid pose by closing one's eyes and remain motionless for hours. Meditation, as mentioned earlier, is a process of consciously monitoring our actions and subsequently the thoughts. Assiduously practiced over many months, can guarantee one the pleasant effect of meditation. Like the leaves that fall during autumn, our mental agitations too will slowly give way as our meditation gets better and better. Once we realize the real purpose of meditation and its benefits we will realize that meditation is a continuous process of establishing oneness with nature. And, at the end of each mindful day we sit and contemplate to stream the energy of meditation. If correctly practice, we will see the harvest immediately. Happy meditation.

Life as it is.....EPISODE 8 : PRAYER

2008-10-15T18:36:00.000-07:00

Someone once said, "...in prayer I am talking to God, in meditation God is talking to me". Well, each person has something to share when it comes to God.That's good. Prayer is powerful. It gives us a sense of reliance upon an energy which is deemed as energy of existence or GOD in common parlance. In prayers we pour the depth of our happiness in the form of gratitude and splash the grievances in the form of bitter tears. Either way, Prayers help us to compose ourselves and identify the root cause of our desires and pain. I am talking about genuine prayers where one loses oneself in essence of the self. Genuine prayers helps to calm our mind by means of slowing down our breathing pattern, thus indirectly reduces the agitation of the mind, or some may call it inner chattering. We should not pray to get our prayers answered, but pray to be relieved of attachment to sensory pleasures which is the primary cause of every mental agitations. It is not easy, but it is possible. Prayers are known, if daily, to have created a state of mental balance where our physiological processes functions at its best and give us a better health. Pray not to get what you want, Pray that you may want what you get. It doesn't matter if GOD is there or not there, always remember to pray, for that is the very basic of our yearning towards non-attachment. That is life too.

Life as it is…….EPISODE 7: COMPLAINS

2008-10-14T17:21:00.000-07:00

The weather is pretty cold these days. It rains almost everyday and I feel my blanket is getting thinner and thinner. My bones are pulling my flesh closer, while the flesh is pulling my skin tighter. Can I blame the weather for that? Surely, I can’t. I can wear jacket to adapt to the cold and wear thick corduroy pants to cover my legs or use a thick blanket to protect myself.

It’s pretty much the same with many things in life. We can’t blame the external factors all the time. Instead, we should make effort to remediate, adapt and compensate the so called loss or negativity with some practical solution. Life glows in an expanse of spirit. In it we balance our existence with intelligence and ingenuity. Failing to address the issues in life intelligently and wisely, results in flawed perception and estranged relationships. How often do we complain about things going wrong in various aspects of our lives? I think most of us have something to complain about daily.

Can we avoid complaining? It’s like almost impossible, right? Of course we have to admit that we can’t escape from complaining, but we can always make complains become an effective method towards problem solving by focusing on the issue(s) and not the person(s); hence, it help us to disentangle ourselves from the cobwebs of problems. Complain without any ill intention. Complain with the desire to improve things. We should make effort to complaint effectively so that it won’t derail into back biting and personal attacks.

2008-10-13T02:30:00.000-07:00

Life is flimsy for many. They see everything but themselves. The point at everyone, but themselves. They see life as a transparent layer that allows them to penetrate the veil and condemn others all the time. Sadly, along the process they ignore the mess implicated on them by themselves. This can happen to everyone. You and I are not immune to this. We see things according to our own perception. Place ourselves into another man’s shoes and see what is actually going on. Take time off from the stress and arguments, then you will realize life is bubbling with joys and divine laughter. It takes less than a second to change our perception.

The safest routes to cross the bridge of life is by picturing ourselves daily in the analytical mirror of life and do our best to be mindful of our thoughts and action. Every soul is a divine signature. So, respect each with due admiration and acceptance.

Come guys. Stop mourning. And, start moving. Don't let you be bugged by any, especially depression. Life is precious. It reflects wonderful things in a very beautiful way. Learn to see life from all angles and study the possibilities of taking full control of it. You can, so am I. But, we always have low self-esteem and questions the validity of many things in life without even taking a step forward. Don't mourn over lost things, especially girlfriend(s) and boyfriend(s). They are best off, rather than sitting in our hearts and spitting at our minds.

Stand upright. Look at the mountains and the skies. Tell your mind that you are stronger than the mountains and broader than the sky. Nature will smile at you. Life is too precious to be spent in worries and depression. Cheer up. Life is bliss. The bliss is you. Get up and move on. If you are afraid of facing the life, tell the ants to show you the way to happiness and strength. Sing to the bees of their sweet honey and read a poem to the trees and birds about how they are making up with pains in life.

If you are really down, and feel suicidal, let me tell you this,you have to fight the fight. Open up. Open up yourself and talk to the trees, the wind, the earth and many more. See how they live and enjoy their lives. They bask in continuous pleasures. Life is yours. And, you are the life. Peace be unto all.

2008-10-10T23:01:00.000-07:00

Love, the basis for the expansion of this wondrous universe. Yet, it is the most misconstrued word and expression among mankind. People like many things in life. But, they can't differentiate between likes and love. People fall in love and fall out of love, yet they can't understand love as a spark of tolerance. Lust too has become love. When people are attracted to one another based on physical appearances, that too has been misunderstood as love. They hardly differentiate between lust and love.

The beauty of love is that it doesn't attach importance to anything but just to love and love. Purely unconditional is love. Love is free from many things, yet love is everything. When one learn to just love and love....he learns to forgive and forget. Resentment will become history and vengeance will vanish from his mind. Power of love is dynamic. Let us see love as the life itself and not a requirement or an aspect of life. Love. Peace be to all.

Memories saturated with honeyed experiences and memories dipped in bitter taste are all shadowing us right after immediate past. It evokes both pleasant and painful sensation. The wonderful memories, let us cherish and pray that they recur again and again in our lives and give us the hope for a peaceful survival ahead. While the bitter ones, let that serve some lessons and teach us how to walk the path of life with carefully guided values.

Don't live with the memories. Make each memory a milestone of experience to be anticipated or to be avoided as we breathe the light of life. What else can life give us in the hours of peace and also desolation....but memories.\

The problem begins just when we think we are perfect and we are always right. This is the most conspicuous thought every one of us entertain unconsciously. It can happen at any point of time and place in our life regardless of race, religion and culture. It’s strange that we choose to accept this as a norm. Everyone tend to point their fingers at others.

Perfection exists only under two conditions Firstly, when there is no God to believe in and secondly, when there is only one person left alive. Knock…...knock…I am not perfect. A person who is perfect is the person who can embrace and love all human alike, irrespective of whatever attributes one may place on mankind.

Life as it is…EPISODE 1 : DESIRES

2008-10-10T00:37:00.001-07:00

What is this thing called ‘desire’? Is it a monster of monstrous proportion? Is it GOOD? Is it BAD? Is desire a cure for all our needs? Is desire a path to problems? We can ask many questions and keep it rolling throughout our entire life. To understand, achieve and live the righteous desires at the righteous moment, and to understand, avoid and distrust the wrongful desires at the righteous moment are what we all should aspire in this life. We cannot go on craving to have a taste of everything that pops into the caverns of our minds.

We all have desires. Anyone claim they don’t have any desire, let them see the hell before they die. Desires propel our entire activities and lead us through our day to day lives. The extend we are willing to go to fulfill our desires determines the make up of our mind and our care towards the well being of the society.

While we can make every effort to achieve or fulfill our desires, we must at the same time be wary of the outcomes which may arise as the consequences of entertaining those desires. Money may buy us everything, and relationship may set our emotion into excitement, but peace and health lies beyond the reach of money. You are a leader if you know when to sacrifice, when to cut down and when to share your desires with others. Desires are not God given. God gave us the best tool to set borderline to enjoy this life, which is our mind, and let us not ask for more but learn to discriminate wisely. Just like we need a boat to flow along with the river, our desires too need to be guided at every seconds.

When entertaining every piece of desire, life may appear to be prosperous and glittering in the beginning, and for some time it may appear to be heaven, but remember in the long run, that intoxication can prove to be fatal and suicidal. Peace be to all.
