just something...

To live life in a simple way is easy and difficult because simplicity gets difficult for people to comprehend ..Everyone is so caught up in their web of thoughts, ambitions, goals etc that they can’t see the obvious but love to read the fine text.

The space that we want to be "ours" is never in totality only known to us. Somewhere i feel there is a spill of external factors in this "our space". For instance, each time i have been spaced out, there is a deluge of what i have been through in the past; the past could be an earlier event in time, a just concluded incident which perhaps was the reason i was thrown into my space.

Now, i ask myself when i am spaced out and I'm not thinking about the existence, but I'm in a different world (yes, my space) then why does the existence enter my space, quite ironic.

For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.

Spiritual?

Spiritual is one who makes an effort to know what is beyond the obvious, delves deeper in to the purpose of living, does deeds that are honest and believes in the absolute and definite truth.

The definite truth that life and death, success and setbacks, joy and sorrow, highs and lows; everything is temporary. The transient nature of everything should never be ignored.

However, what is eternal is our soul, our honest intent.

Colors

Life believes in colours. It says there aren't just dark black and blinding white. There are colours in everything; changing every hour, every minute.

One has to be watching, to notice, appreciate and savour the myriad colours. The irony is that death believes in it too.

The common thread: uncertainty.

Musings

Conditioning stunts us. It makes us think from a filter right from the beginning. 

I think it's imperative for parents to give their children enough space and freedom to think independently so they have their own views on issues. 

It's very convenient and easy to pass off some one's view as your own. No intellect, reasoning and analysis is used; and most of us do it because who has the time to sit and ponder. Whatever works for one doesn't really work for the other. 

To simply be is a phenomenon. The Kantian Philosophy.

Deconstructing Religion

Time and again, the purpose of faith, the reason to follow a religion. Issues, questions that stir and shake the very cores of our conscience rise. I have no incisive knowledge, no great awareness to sermonise. All my faculties of reasoning, analysis, understanding and sense, morality and ethics, can gather is that religion is what one is. It means an individuality is religion, one's sensibilities, one sense for justice, one's compassion, all of this comprises religion.

I don't think one needs to study religious scriptures, The Quran , The Holy Bible, The Vedas, The Guru Granth Sahib to understand religion. A pure, noble, just conscience in every human being is that human being's religion.

Act versus Thought

An act of faith, a thought of faith, an act of love, a thought of love, an act of infidelity, a thought of infidelity, an act of honesty, a thought of honesty.

So it's act versus thought. An act has riders like regret, resentment, anger whereas a thought transcends all these emotions.
How can anyone find out/ discern/ know what goes in a mind. A thought in a mind is as innocent as the statement in Law which clearly says that "a person is innocent until proven guilty."

So the person inside each of us is guilty or not guilty because the outside person has the keys to the door of that house where Guilt may reside. What he inside person intends to divulge is what other people get to listen.

Powerful and uncontrollable like a mad Stallion is the inside person.
Beware yet beloved.
