Universal truth

When you want to be photographed, you are asked to present your best angle or profile. Today, everywhere, we must project our best selves too. No one really wants to know what lies behind or beyond with side effects always.

I have seen the most socially successful people who match the above description to the tee, very lonely behind closed doors and sometimes, very depressed because there is no one to bear your heart to. That is sad, don't you think?

What happened to "everyone needs someone”? There are so many empty spaces in the hearts of so many. These manifest in many different ways; often in an obscene display of wealth or in "one upmanship” trying to fill the empty spaces externally to compensate as it were, for those within. But can you ever accomplish that? I doubt. And you also stand alone in the bargain. You might be the object of sycophancy but may not be that of a heart connection.

The ultimate is to fill these spaces with spiritual thought and study and thus, to become grounded in the universal truth.

Quote of the day

IT IS WHAT IT IS

When you don't talk about yourself much, people feel you are alright. And you have no burning issues. But, actually, some just don't have the habit. Some are too private. Some don't see what this will accomplish. Some feel, "why bore others? How does it concern them?" Or even, why it should concern them, Kind of "not done" kind of feeling.

There are some who feel a part of other people when they talk about their personal issues. But often, I have seen that many also go through life's journey managing it as independently as they can. I wonder if being vulnerable to people's attention is viable in the long run. It is difficult to put yourself in the opposite type of shoes from those which you wear.

The final word of course, is, IT IS WHAT IT IS until it isn't that anymore.

Depressing thoughts

Unobtrusively, we start to become what our thoughts are made up of. At first, we are taught to think like our parents. We imbibe our environment. Everyday actions we see around us speak of the thoughts that inspired the actions. And we emulate and emulate.

Later, when we see ourselves from the eyes of others, we realize that we must look onwards into our thought patterns which are seen by people in our speech and action. You cannot separate the people from their thoughts.

Depressing thoughts! Thoughts of envy and sadness or happy thoughts, thoughts of love and goodness. Every thought will manifest if given importance.

We foster the thought and then it festers. That's it! Many such festering thoughts create who we are.

So, think before you think! Meditate on what you think before you give the thoughts the pride of place within your mind, because they may enslave you. And what will that make you? A slave to your thoughts instead of the master who has command over them.
