The power of mind
What is not seen is ‘talked’ so much! What is seen can have multiple ways of looking at it. It can be described in so many ways. But what cannot be seen has imagination—the imagination which goes beyond the very perceptual reality through which we understand things.
What this human life is
It is such an advantage to have this mortal frame, what we call body; and we all are mortal beings. We all have the immense capacity to know life as it is and beyond. There are no ‘any other’ creatures, other species than human beings, us, to know life beyond the physical perception of reality. All others have been endowed with instinct-driven life, but we are not, and that’s an absolute advantage to being a human. Mortality, as we call it, is the law of nature, but that is not something to be taken so seriously. What is to be taken more seriously is ‘what we do with what we have’. And what we have is unimaginable, unfathomable, beyond the description of anything what your mind can think of. The travel, the journey, itself is the most sublime. That’s why the life of a human being is sacrosanct. This piece of your body that we have is sacrosanct. It is the most sacred temple of the universe because we are none other than the universe itself. This body represents the universal consciousness in itself.
Kingdom of heaven, kingdom of hell
To instill fear into the minds as it may at times seem mandatory to do so, which has been done in the past, just to create a structure, a frame, where people would be compelled to conduct themselves in a certain way as at this moment if things are not so pleasant, so to speak, but if I could just carry out things that are more aligned into creating something which will benefit me later, much later, only after the demise of this body—so the idea of Heaven comes from there. So, all the great deeds that you are doing right now, you will enjoy the fruit of it once the demise of this body happens. So, does it mean to say that as long as you have this body, you won’t have the fruits of your great Karma, good Karma! —you won’t have that level of enjoyment. And the same thing is said for the counterpart that if you are not able to conduct yourself in a certain way, then you should be ready for the results but that too only after the demise of this body. So, in both the cases, this body has to drop, this body has to go missing.
Way to reach God
God is just a word, nothing else. In the name of God, so many things have been done, so egregious, so deplorable, so inhuman. The last thing in the world that you want to utter is God. At times it feels like that.
An evil act is not an evil act
Anything that does not involve mass killing, let’s say genocide, should not be termed as evil. If there is a threat to ‘existence of mass population’, that’s a different thing altogether. Someone has committed an egregious crime by killing people just indiscriminately, without any sense, of course, is an evil act. But apart from that if you think that psychologically something could be evil because someone has defrauded someone in a big way, someone has cheated on a faithful partner, someone has acted on things which has only to do with human psychology, with the human mind, the emotions, that could be termed as an evil act and should be abhorred, deplored? It could be a ‘deplorable’ act. Shall we emphasize much on it? Hem it up? Exaggerate it? Blow it out of proportion? Is it needed? Will it resolve the matter? No way! It will not.
LIFE: Is it an opportunity, or is it a tragedy?
Human life is the most sacrosanct. It is the wildest life ever because there is no instinct that could drive us to do a specific thing in a specific way. We have absolute free will to do just the way we would like to do things, and that’s massive empowerment. We can just do whatever we want to do at any point in time. If a food is given to other species than human beings, then it may be rejected: by a cow or by buffalo, by dog or a cat. But human beings can do everything with what they have been given- because they are not in tune with ‘the nature’. They don’t have to be in tune with ‘the nature’; if they could, that would be great, but they don’t have to be. That’s also a power—to tap into something which is beyond them—that signifies that they can go beyond what has been given to them through ‘this’(body) only.
What could actually change your life – Vision of Life
Clarity is like tapping into the unknown. It gives you the vision of life. What has blurred you is the confusion and ‘confound-ness’ of what you have gone through. Something which wasn’t expected has happened. Now we cannot make any sense of it. Or something unjustified has been done to you or something that you cannot deal with. You have been duped. You have been cheated on emotionally or financially—the ones whom you did not expect.
How to reveal the mystery of universe
This planet has had walks of many great ones. Few of them have achieved things which is just unimaginable. There are things which go beyond the very perception of human mind. Today what we see is something of the same nature. People going to a different location away, far away from the earth. This earth, which has always been the habitat of human beings, seems a place of alienation for few of them who aspire to reach a different planet altogether. This is really mesmerizing to most of us that there could be life on a different planet than the earth. This earth seems like the mother earth and as we rightly say so at all times that this earth is our mother, we belong to her and so does she, the Earth. And the most spectacular thing is that few of them have landed on the different planet altogether. But the very concept of having habitation there is still in doubt. The life cannot be envisioned even though we have successfully landed on that specific planet. Or there are many other planets also where humans are exploring the possibility of making their own homes, the houses could be built there.
How to grow out of the situation
If you are beset with challenges in life, the ‘growing out of the situation’ involves doing better than the situation; that is the mantra.
So, if you are totally traumatized by the circumstances that you may be undergoing right now, the only way you can actually turn things around for yourself is to better yourself. Grow better with your own self first. And it means ‘behaving well’ than the situation that you are going through, behaving better than what is traumatizing you, behaving better than what it feels like—’so much’ of excruciating pain emotionally or any other way. Growing out of the situation involves only one thing: behaving better than the situation that you are going through. That is it! And it’s not so easy.
