Circumstances

 There are many moments in the lives of human beings when there is so much pain it becomes a herculean task to even bear it, let alone find the courage to overcome it. And not always is there a reward at the end of the pain, like when a new mother forgets all the pain when she sees her little baby.

This pain is in return for the pain we may have caused someone in some life. Or we might be facing some circumstances which might be painful, and which just came upon us. But this is not an unsalvageable guillotine.

That’s life. You learn to cherish good times and be patient in adverse times, with an indomitable faith that times will change. Just one thing! Be sure to learn what lessons this adverse time is there to teach. Salvaging those parts of your affected life with wisdom and patience is the only way out to let the pain recede.

Transformation

There is no value in relationships where little things are constantly misunderstood and have to be sorted regularly.

It needs one experience of watching someone leave this earth, of the grief and remorse, even guilt felt by those around for what could have been , to wonder why we don’t treat relationships better in our lifetime.

There are a few landmark experiences in life which are utterly transformative. Make you accept and deal with life with more awareness and more grit. Above all, with more balance and respect for your soul.

Belief System

 A fact of life! You cannot unscrew the minds of those who have used ironclad screws to strengthen their wrong belief systems. Or have set you up as a target. Just step away until and if at all, sense dawns on them!

I have realized that learning is so individual and time resistant that there is no point in getting frustrated when you try to steer someone towards the right understanding but they just do not want to go there.

It is strange how people claim to care but on a day to day basis, they are all about themselves. I have stopped getting surprised at these observations in people.

It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t let the injustice of it all plague you.

Relationships fraught with disrespect cannot work.

Life does not stop for anyone and everyone has stories! We are just one among the many, oppressed by our grief and sadness.

Just get out of such emotions. It is not worth it! Let go of what is not in your control. Karma can be a tough call. It takes away but it also returns in different ways.

Continue living life, staying away from the circus and drama of other people.

Be strong. Be smart. And most important, never doubt yourself. Always believe in yourself when your conscience is clear.

Journey

 It’s funny how life comes a full circle. A crazy, fun loving child to a disillusioned, serious adult! Then, back to being crazy and light again! Thanks to god’s grace and exposure to spiritual learning early in life.

The hysterical laughter at silly things! Mocking life for even trying to invade my wholesomeness! The shadows that chase without any success until they disappear! Words and actions that used to hurt but have lost their power.

For I know we are not here to fall deep into SANSARA but to recognize its meaninglessness. But it is beautiful nevertheless! Just know how to navigate it. We have all the tools for an exciting journey!

Perspective

 You never walk alone. This feeling of being alone or of loneliness is just a huge lack of awareness. An illusion out of ignorance.

The truth is, I walk with my spirit. I am my own friend, my own genie who walks within me. And that wholesomeness never gives me a lack of anything.

Have you ever tried to work with this perspective? Love yourself first. That fountain is enough for everyone.

The sun gives light to all. It does not diminish if a cloud covers it temporarily. You know it is there.

Similarly, my soul is THERE, in the journey. Like the sun. And like me, all of us are whole and complete. We have to realize the presence of our soul in everything we do.

Soul realization is a shining reality. Filled with joy!

Truth

There are wheels within wheels everywhere. If you try to look for the starting point of anything today, you are likely to lose your mind! You can never reach the root.

Journalists are busy trying to unravel the truth about the webs of lies around political scenarios, the Bollywood gossips and sensationalizing the private lives of well-known people!

Every day, there are new stories about people, almost as if there are multiple people residing within one person.

How boring and humdrum our own lives must be, to even think of indulging in such discussions!

Although, some of the journalists -turned podcasters do open our eyes to some authentic news, at least on the surface if not in-depth.

Of course, the more people who know you, the more trouble there is for you! Fact!

Yet, the publicity machinery is more active today than ever! Fake / exaggerated / misinterpreted “news” have become common place. The more “infamous”, the more talked about. Others may well be relegated to being “squares”.

What a world!

Vibration Energy

Recently, I was amused by a definition of “masks”. It said, sometimes, people smile at you with their eyes behind their backs! A creative way of defining duplicity.

If we are not vigilant, the smile can mislead us big time.

I don’t know why it is so necessary to wear a mask in the first place. Why is there so much to hide? Would it not be better to be more simple and forthright? Evidently not!

I was good enough at math to know 2 and 2 makes four. Today, it may add up to an irrational number!

Today, simple math does not work. There are complicated calculations at work and the brain is overloaded, not to mention the heart and other affected chakras.

All these videos that tell you things under “wisdom” only teach you to fear people and isolate yourselves. If you are constantly being suspicious of who means what, and who is out to “get” you, how do you live a productive life?

If we notice, all of us have a lonely space within us already. And we are complicating our lives by desperately seeking crutches to fill that space. It is of no use! Crutches are, at best, a short term illusion.

The only thing that works is your vibrations with the universal energy. It is protective. It is light to dispel all darkness.

Apart from our karmic pain, we have the pain of integrating our shadow side with our light side.

People who embark on this journey face several challenges, those of the death of the old and beginning of the new. AND isolation! Because people still have the image of the old “you” in their minds to judge and criticize. You can’t win. There is a huge price to pay here so, many just live on the way they know how, as comfortably as possible.
