Pain

Why me? Oh no! I don't believe it's happening to me ! Such situations makes one ponder over the reason behind the situation.

One way to think is - Am I undergoing the situation because of my past deeds? Is it my destiny? Can't I chose my own destiny? Am I forced to undergo it ? Is there someway to bypass it ?

One can also think as - is this pain teaching something to me? is it popping up an alarm to alert me about something which I ignored to appreciate?

Interestingly Can it be tagged as "My Pain" or "Pain"? is the underlying reason behind pain of each and everyone of us has something in common? I think one feel pain when something goes NOT as expected. Pain may differ in weightage but underlying reason is the same - "Expections NOT met"

So, what do we do in such situations? We have to look beyond the pain! Ask yourself - What is this pain teaching me? What should I learn from it? What should I correct within myself? is it demanding physiological changes or psychological changes ? What changes need to be adapted in my daily routine? Unless we look beyond pain and rectify, it doesn't leave us. Pain is a strict teacher who doesn't loosen the grip of backbenchers! Best way is to acknowledge, introspect, learn from it and move ahead!

How does one gets the strength to look beyond pain while undergoing it? Being centered! Being connected with oneSELF! Shifting focus within! - these are the ways in which one can gain strength from his own SELF.

How to be centered? Meditate! - that's the one word answer. Does that mean Meditation prevents pain? May NOT be totally correct! Vitally, it gives us the strength for having correct thinking and right understanding. With Meditative mood, one can be centered to look beyond the pain and grasp the teaching!

What are you waiting for ? Just Meditate!

Miseries

People expect you to be calm, clear and withstand situations. They expect the changes to come up in you with their suggestions, words and ideas. Some of them leave you in confusion amidst jungle of life and expect you to figure out the way to come out of those disturbances. They feed your body but doesn't care to strengthen your psyche. Fortunate few teach you about existence of your Soul but very few show you the way to experience your Soul. All these are challenges thrown at you. But for what purpose ? Sometimes you may feel Why Me ? Is it normal ?

I think it's completely normal. Unforeseen situations make oneself to ponder over his existence and purpose of life. It diverts you to look within and have an appointment with your own SELF, with your Soul residing in the innermost core of your Heart ❤️💜 And who is the one who can catch your hand and lead you out of the Jungle of life and make your mind calm and show you the way to follow your heart 💕? He is your GURU. None can nurture your soul except GURU. His grace alone can uplift your consciousness level to have a complete view of the happenings around you without being swayed by the perceptions. Only with his grace and attention can the deadliest poison - Prejudice be thrown off from your energy field. Only HE and HE alone is your Saviour!

Questions Galore !

What is that which makes an individual burst out of emotions ? Do we have control on it?

Do people fight with other or they do so as they don't knew the way to fight with their own emotions ?

Does war start from situations or thoughts within oneself? is the purpose of war for war sake or for peace sake ?

For what we are living ? What do we really want in life ? Whats the purpose of life ?

From where these questions come up? From where these thoughts come up? PanchaBhutas - From where it got originated ? And for what purpose ?

If some supreme power created us with Body, Mind and Intellect - each of it might have a purpose. What the Purpose ?

Is it NOT true that a person know that he is doing wrong when he attempts a mistake? Even after knowing it, why does he do it? What provokes him to do it?

Don't we know that HE who is afraid of Sin will definitely become HOLY one day! Why people are NOT afraid of Sin?

Why people discuss more about gossips, evil happenings instead of dwelling upon good thoughts ? Don't we know that the only way to get rid of Bad habits is to repeat Good Habits often!

Its my experience that intention behind the discussion among many people is the basic necessity to seek company of other people and seek attention. Most of them don't care about outcome of the discussion. They just feel happy in others company. Why so ? Why can't we feel comfortable with our ownself? Isn't this way more simple ?

Energy

Two persons in my neighbourhood began shouting at each other aloud, all of a sudden.  Vibrations produced by their yelling touched my heart, while I was resting at my home, watching a beautiful sunset through my favourite window spot. I thought - They shout at each other as they realize that they don't listen to each other, they don't get convinced with each other's logic but they fail to understand that they yell at each other because they subconsciously know that their hearts are getting  distanced apart. As the distance between their hearts increase, their pitch of yelling also increases. They speak aloud to make the other listen. Their voice tremble. Their body shivers out of anger. Their energy gushes out in an attempt to make other understand their perception of the subject. They attempt to point out others mistake to make the other feel low and surrender to them.  In an attempt to achieve victory over the other, they display their foolishness to each other by calling the other with dirty names referring to their relations. Even though they know that they are hurting each other by shouting at each other, they don't have control on themselves. It's all the play of the energy accumulated within themselves. 

After sometime, when their body got tired of evacuating their energy in a fierce manner, they settle down a bit.  And now they are at mercy of their mind. If their mind feed energy to thoughts related to jealousy, greed, selfishness, domination, power then they start again to shout at each other until they satisfy their individual ego. This play goes on as such till their body gets tired out, till their energy-clots are freed up. They even forget the reason in totality for which they got into argument. They end up in confusion, being lost in the words gushed out in those stupid arguments. When they get tired at yelling, some cry to relieve themselves from the remaining energy, some take a shot of alcohol to calm the raging mind, some participate in sex to divert the energy, some take a long walk or jog to spend energy for a good cause, some lucky people like me go to sleep all alone. 

At the end it's the play of the energy; energy gets used to perform different actions abiding the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It just gets transformed, reformed, retained and spent. Energy recycles. It's the ultimate power. It recycles through the invisible medium, transmitted through the numerous minds and hearts. Human body is just an apparatus used up by minds and hearts to let the energy flow. 

Secret lies in the technique the person chose to let the energy flow through him, without blocking it inside himself, without forming energy-clots within himself. And the secret is to be merely an observer of the situations, people and happenings around him. Secret lies in practising detachment at the back of mind while being attached with your near and dear. Secret lies in living in the present moment. 

The person who practice this secret, knows that he does so, not only for the benefit of himself but also for betterment of everyone around him.

Di*e*s*

At a moment in everyone's life, a realization pops up reverberating the fact that Life is more important than anything else in the world. At that moment seemed-to-be-normal things like breathing, walking, sleeping, eating, proper digestion and excretion will take up thier stand as miracles. At that moment, all the negative expressions like Jealousy, anger, greed will be automatically suppressed by thier own nature and calmness prevails over the bieng. Regret and guilt may popup realizing the fact that a lot of time had been wasted in life in lifting up all the negative emotions and expressions. At that moment, life seems to be simple and beautiful. At that moment, a decision, if taken will be in accordance with SOUL plan. Wise is a person who realizes the above fact and change his lifestyle and behavior in short span of time without ignoring or procrastinating the implementation of his decision. And that moment is when one knows that his body has been diseased. A mesmerizing fact which can be derived from above statements is that a disease is an alarm demanding a change for ones good. 

"Its time to realize and put forth an action for a change, buddy !"      - Thus says a disease.

Change !

On Sundays, it was my task in my childhood to get some essential items from nearby grocery store and it happened mostly in early mornings, where I noticed a shopkeeper giving aarathi repeatedly and doing some traditional way of praying GOD by mere external mannerisms. I felt his actions exhibited fear of something, instead of love towards GOD. Out of curiosity when enquired about it, my well wishers told me that he might got feared about the change in his upcoming business transactions. On that day, out of my childhood innocence, I thought when I grow up, i should chose a path for my livelihood, which doesn't change much or which should not be dependent on any external situations. 

When i landed up in informatique industry, it was my realization during recession times that I was in a well wherein i don't want to swim since my childhood, but had to swim for my financial survival; recession times enlightened me the dependency of inflation, commodity, earnings, jobs and expenses. As one of the factor changes, the other changes and most unfortunately disproportional. This fact dawned upon me that my childhood dream about having a changless livelihood is a mere hallucination and learnt the impacts of its transient nature. 

In my association with near and dear, I learnt that their perception on a subject changed as per the situations. It's nothing different than the economics concept of demand and supply; just for a matter of change, people termed the same concept as Perception. 

As time passed on, when i lost my mother, it shook me off and it took lot of time to accept that change in my life. 

When my daughter was born, I observed change in her facial expressions every day, as days passed by change is noticeable every month, every year and so on. This observation reminded me that I too had changed since my childhood, both physical and psychological, which I might have noticed earlier as well but never felt in such a crystal clear fashion as i felt at that moment. 

Sometimes, it happened that i noticed beforehand a possible impact of my earlier decision due to changed circumstances. In such events I quickly decided to change my earlier decision in accordance with changed situations; and in this process I experienced a progressive change in my lifestyle. 

Recently when I had to lockdown myself in a 40m2 flat for around 2 months due to coronavirus outbreak, I learnt the way the economy of each of the country is tightly coupled with a tragic situation happened in certain part of the world because of acts of certain group of maniac headed people. And during this lockdown period, the changes that i had to incorporate in my life for my survival was beyond my imagination. 

Now I have to admit the fact that after each of these changes in my life experiences, my HEART never failed to whisper to me softly the old saying - "CHANGE is inevitable !"

Thus says consciousness

On this day, 38 years ago, a SOUL has chosen a womb and descended down to experience itself. And thus I exist. But in the process, strangely, I forgot the purpose of my existence. Thus bewildered, wandered everywhere and prayed to know about the real purpose of this life. A remarkable SOUL heard my prayer, enlightened ME at the right moment and revealed the way to feel IT through HEART. Thus the real goal of human life is remembered and the path is laid down to reach the goal. Though the journey is troublesome due to my own indiscipline, this enlightened SOUL ever encouraged me from wiithin, with its inspiration and guidance. Every year on this day, IT reminds me vigorously about my duty and responsibility in this remarkable journey in terms of maintenance of vehicle_body, maintenance of purity in thoughts & actions. IT reminds me to be in constant remembrance of the divinity in HEART so that IT can be FELT by Me at all moments.
