We are not here to please anyone, we are not here to take orders, we are not here to believe what is already there, we are not here to be actors who are a part of one big DRAMA. Our being here is a very special gift and we need to acknowledge this fact. Unfortunately our life has been scripted and dictated to us by different entities influencing us in every sphere of our lives. Just wanted to add, i am sitting here in my front-yard listening to some great music and there is some kind of bird making such a sweet sound that tempted me so much that i had stop writing for some time and feel the little fella singing the song, "melts my heart and brings sweetness to my life." And not to mention my mom is crazy about gardening and she has got all sorts of flowers blossoming here in my front yard. And i am sitting here writing this , makes me feel alive, makes me feel connected, i feel like that i am part of something.
Before i come back to what i started, i would like to say that these little things these flowers, the chirping of the birds, the blue sky, the green grass is what inspires everyone of us at some point or the other and helps us in finding who we really are. If it wasn't for that apple that fell-off from the apple tree when Sir Issac Newton was sitting underneath it, the laws of gravity would not have been discovered by Mr. Newton. There are signs that are helping us 24*7, all we have to do is look around.
The modern society, the 21st century inventions have made our lives easy and comfortable but of all the easiness and comfort that we have, we still wander and thrive for our own true existence. There are people blinded by myths,superstitions, religion and some of them even by science. The culture that i belong to does not allow us to go beyond the belief that one has to serve this life with truth and justice, there is a list of things that we have to do and things that we don't have to do. And if we serve this life well and our doings are justified we will be rewarded with fruits of heaven. Most of the cultures are based on these theories. But the irony is that nobody makes his own destiny going beyond the traditional ways of life. And to add the duality of it, Women are considered to be the source of life but when it comes to treating them good, the moral integrity is nowhere to be seen. In India, women are beaten, caged, sold, raped, murdered and even kept as sex slaves. If somebody finds out that the womb of a mother is carrying a girl child, they are bound to get abortion-ed and people like them are so religious and pure they say,
''AURAT DEVI KA ROOP HOTI HAI''
meaning "a woman is an avatar of the goddess herself.'' How disconnected we are, how much of duality is filled in our minds. Our doings in this cynical world that we are a part of won't do us any good attaining 'MOKSHA'.
What we see and what is pleasing to the naked eye is not always right.
It's not just the women who are tortured and tormented, we still believe in racism and caste system. And there are a lot more things that i don't even want to talk about.
Now the 21st century philosophy which says that lack of education is the reason for all these superstitious and mythical beliefs that have been carried out in different parts of the world. I ask all of those people who believe in 21st century philosophy, what about the self-respect and what about the moral integrity ? no one taught you that ? I inherited my moral sense from all the social elements that you and me share, i still believe that we could live together with peace and harmony, respecting the different ways of life. And from time to time i keep asking myself, am i doing the right thing, are my actions hurting some body's feelings and emotions. I am able to do this because i feel connected not just to myself, or the ones i love but i feel connected with everything that is there. What is it that we can owe, when we already know that everything out there is ours ! We are nobody's property, there is nothing that can owe you. The grass under our feet is ours, the sky, the trees, the meadows, the plains, the rivers and the mountains and the sun and the moon, everything is ours, everything is connected, we just have to open our minds and keep a friendly heart.
The disconnection of naive mind from its true self has turned us all into some kind of zombies who are working together in one big scripted reality series. The 21st century luxuries. the cars, the airplanes and those automated robots have made us lazy, life has been restricted to not more then a remote. The pleasure that we get walking the earth, cooking our food with our own hands, sharing all that we have and caring for everything that is there is an unexplained feeling, try it for yourself.
There is beauty, there is love, there is you and there is everything that you dream of. Life is beautiful, peaceful, colorful, spiritual and full of uncertainties, if you want it to be.
You don't have to believe what is already there for you. Everyone of us has to travel the far-away lands and make our life a beautiful journey filled only with peace, love, happiness and joy.
''If you are hit with TRUTH and REALITY very hard only then you understand it.''
So stop living in the illusion and make your own way.
