Time is the culprit

In the crazy maze of finding the things that pleasure us, what have we not done. Expectation and hope have become our second nature, we sleep with the hope of seeing the sun again, why should everyone of the nature's components do thier job, and we just sit there expecting.



isnt it ironical, for a moment, if we consider ourselves as just another component in this entire vast creation shouldnt we too be doing our duty. What happens is, in the process of searching for this happiness, we lose our entire lives to the mirage of time, the great culprit and the doyen of deceit.



The true nature, the virtue of the human being to search for happiness is by itself a viable proof that the search for all transitory objects around , and all man made elements will doom with us unto grave. We are caught so much with each other's false ideologies, that the true happiness that we are trying to acquire is lashed with so many transitory chaotic situations that we sway away from the original goal.

as a child, the impressions that is borne by the mind, via multitude of modes and channels, are the seeds sown. If the seeds sown is carrying methods, or even aspirations to acquire for the real happiness then it would bear its fruits. Unfortunately, what we do is provide all materialistic objects to the child to attract, impress, and control it, what happens next is as easy as anybody's expectation. The child forfeits each material object for another, in every step of its to the grave, trying to succumb to desires attached to each material object.

Where is this eternal time, that has been there since the BC, 0 AD, where is this scale the big scale that decides everyone's destiny, standing a mute witness to all the atrocities, good things, that happen. rightly seen, there is no future, it is only the present, every moment,even as I write is what is true, well not really true, but let us assume that it is the one that can be experienced.

we either keep thinking about the future, or the mistakes, good things in the past. Why do we take so many photographs for every moment that we enjoy, without enjoying the moment, we try to capture a moment in picture format / video format to keep rejoicing on this in the future. Because, we know that happiness cannot last long, if it did, do we need a photograph !!

Utilize the present effectively to draw essence out of the search for eternal happiness, not transitory happiness attached to any material object.

Existential reality

It is widely discussed that there are three states in which a human being exists, waking state, dream state and deep sleep. The funniest part is how often do we get up from a racing motorbike dream, or our favourite fantasies with our most favourite heroine, and yet gasp for breath, or heave a sigh of relief "oh its a dream"


we do have godly dreams, wake up to find that god was the same mainfested image of our perception as the fantasised heroine. you fight so hard in your dream against a villain to save , or you run away from some thug, do you really run... do you waste the energy that you derived after a good hearty dinner, no not really.


the concept of this dream state is realized only when you come out of this, into the waking state, but who will tell you that waking state is real... why should it not be another dream for you to realize about this in another state. Hold on... am i going jibberish... surely not.


Who empowered you to inflate your ego to think that you are living? your idea of living is conceieved by the fact that you know your hands are working, legs are working, you are able to feel yourself, others, by the sense of touch, vision, etc... but wait a minute... this sense of touch, vision... is it just a manifestation of an energy innate.

Is this life real, what is the essence of this life? We toil hard for our family's happiness, and realize that the family is the not the one that provides or nourishes happiness. Happinees is a funny concept altogether, it is a mirage, visible, yet untangible, realizable yet un-sustainable, it is a state, like the different states of matter. It is the mind's perception, or manifestation of congnitive ego inflation. Every action we do, the outcome ought to bring either pleasure / pain inturn happiness / grief.

This waking state is the only means for us to realize our essence of life. It is not the means to search for wealth, go crazy behind it, or lust, sex, greed, hatred or for that matter anything ephemeral. Utilize this body to cross the mystery of life.

Mon(k)ey

consider the word Mon(k)ey, just happened to scrutinize this more closely. It says it all, the monk with money becomes a monkey. Who is this monk, what is this money and finally the monkey

Human beings are blessed with free will, and yes it is a curse too. We all feel that we should have taken the other road, thinking that the other road would have been better, but the road or the cross roads you see are most of the times, behind you. How much of visibility do we really have when we march into the future? If that visibility is there, then why do we even exist? Our existence is obviously turned into living by riding on hope to accomplish this visibility. Monk is the heart that is inclined towards serving others, forgiving others, seeing the good, thinking and doing good. If this monk that is in us, clings on to any materialistic aspects of life, our heart is controlled by the mind which is the monkey. Money is the lure in whatever form, money was created by man, now man is being ruled by money.

Crazy, fast life do we even have a moment to think and do good to others. Just imagine for a moment, if everyone cultivates this as a habit to do good for someone every day, no feud, no worries, no hunger... we will achieve global brotherhood. Even in our own families how much of tolerance do we have on our own relatives, do we forgive them for thier misgivings. If there is so much feud in people belonging to same family, where are we going?

God has enabled us to utilize this human faculty to realize "HIM". He has brought out this analogy in every single act that happens in this world. Consider, basic school science, atom is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons ( I am not touching the quantum side for ease of understanding), now any compound, element is made of these very atoms. If we use an electron microscope that is also made of these atoms, dont we use that to view the atoms ( electrons).

we need to relate this to using human body to realize "HIM". What is this realization that we are talking about? realization that our basic aim in life is not going behind this materialistic muck but to ponder on why we are here, what are we doing, is this the real pursuit of happiness?

That is why god is so good a designer, he has given free will to everyone, never interfere's in any one's decision, every action including the microcosm to macrocosm follow this newton's third law, every action has equal and opposite reaction. So true isnt it, we call newton invented this... I would say he meditated on this fact.

Crux --- Dont get lured by money and lose the monk in you to become a monkey. Our sole ability to analyze is the key to our holistic development. Spiritual development automatically showers all round development, turn towards your heart, think why you are here, what are we doing, how we do things better to serve others and evolve to a higher state.

Money

Men are puppets in the arms of money,
with greed lurking in the hearts of many,
They long for position and power,
and the sure way to get within the hour is money.

They feel that once they have wealth,
they possess mind and souls by bribe or stealth,
one important thing they dont realize is,
they themselves are possessed by money.

life is a fragile canoe,
striving to cross the sea of desires,
but this life is sweetest with money,
with a portion of chiffon-pie and honey,
than greed that conquers the hearts of many.
