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.
