Move on

Move on to the next day, next year, next chapter, next form of life, next level of consciousness, you are but a moving part, a part full of other parts, a movement towards the supreme soul.

These days are uneventful but I seem to have no time

Where are those days full of inspiration?

wandering

Have you wondered, as you age, that you have been wandering through beliefs, ideas and ideologies ? Is it a linear progress or does it all come around? Just remembered this Shakespearean monologue -


"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, 

Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. 

And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

XIV. all ye need to know ?

• Why do you worry without cause? Whom do you fear without reason? Who can kill you? The soul is neither born, nor does it die.
• Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only. You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future. The present is happening...
• What did you lose that you cry about? What did you bring with you, which you think you have lost? What did you produce, which you think got destroyed? You did not bring anything - whatever you have, you received from here. Whatever you have given, you have given only here. Whatever you took, you took from God. Whatever you gave, you gave to him. You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed. What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.
• Change is the law of the universe. What you think of as death, is indeed life. In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty. Yours and mine, big and small - erase these ideas from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
• This body is not yours, neither are you of the body. The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent - so who are you?
• Dedicate your being to God. He is the one to be ultimately relied upon. Those who know of his support are forever free from fear, worry and sorrow.
• Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God. This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.

XII. when you read it

You just read this.

XII. 8

Internet is a swamp. Never that deep but that isn't what gets you. It is a place for information, but not wisdom. Making friends with words and symbols isn't new. It is a privilege to be able to inflate your feebleness into something meaningful. Big things are starting to become meaningless. Small things are getting due credit. Lost souls are reconnecting, the futility of their attempts can take a back seat for now. They were never too far. 

Memory and Destiny

Graveland - Memory and Destiny

this album is epic .. enough said for now but might put up a review later ... 

XI. Existence

Going nowhere is a common term to denote a lack of progress or stagnancy. But really, no one goes to this place called "nowhere". Everyone/thing must be going somewhere. There is a destination for all of us, as persons/organisms and as a collection of atoms and molecules - we will  keep traveling. Nowhere is a logical fallacy. It is a place that doesn't exist.

Being a nobody is not an option. I may not be a great or a famous one - but I will surely not be a "nobody".  My actions don't count as nothing/ zero. I am an entity and my existence is real. It doesn't matter how I exist, only thing that matters is that I exist, even to the point when "I" simply becomes irrelevant.

We already are somewhere and we already are somebody - we may not exist in these forms in another 100 years but we will still exist someway or the other - as sub-atomic particles, atoms, molecules, carbon etc. Existence is so enormous - we can hardly see it beyond our little bodies, our little lives and our little world. Existence is not limited to consciousness or "life" as we understand it . Life is pretty insignificant so to speak - there are things more basic that life. The universe is much more than alive - its buzzing with activity. Its changing in a way that change is the only thing constant- what a wonderful idea !

knowing all this, yet I'm just beginning to find out .........something I can never fathom in its entirety, in my entirety, but  I am a part of it and am happy to be ..............

X. Mask of Sanity

We all live our lives either trying to be act civil. Often we wear this mask of sanity that hides our true feelings. No matter what, we are recommended not to take off this mask. But sometimes it does slip off showing the true side of us. Seeing someone's madness can help to know the person better. The ugly side is as important as the pretty side.

Being in an altered state of consciousness does reveal this truth. But the rules still remain the same..

IX. perspective

man - so you're a lesbian, tell me why do you hate guys?

lesbian - it is they who hated me first..for being what I am

It is just a matter of perspective, eh ??

VIII. Great Expectations

Disappointments can be prevented if you do not expect anything out of anything/anyone. Must be thankful to whatever you have- the air you breathe, the water you drink, the rain, the clouds, parents, friends. Great expectations can be castles made of sand. Disappointment is an unnecessary trouble. You are fortunate if you can realize this... .

Us and them - Pink Floyd

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fighting's all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

VII. Choice and Destiny

Sometimes you have to choose between two evils. Sometimes you've got to side with the devil you know. Sometimes you need to taste a bit of poison just to stay alive. Sometimes you have to settle for the easy rather than the difficult, the cheaper rather than the expensive, anonymity rather than fame etc.

Everybody makes choices that are seen to be life changing. But the most important choices are already made for us- our parents, place of birth, time of birth, home, education, opportunities etc. By the time we realize our power to make decision and strive for our goals, we are already on a path that has been arranged for us- not necessarily by anyone in particular, but by the course of events upon which we have little control. Then comes the question of destiny, fatalism and all those things that modernity detests.

Acceptance is the best way. Trust time to make everything clear. Sometimes you have to fall to rise again. No choice is wrong because knowledge is the greatest gain.

VI. Mellow

Slow and soft, soft and slow,
in cycles of boredom and contentment
Lazy days and tiring nights
may never be dimmed, these sparkling lights

Oh time so flies by mellow, yellow,
accept my gratitude for this vision
Though this will not last an eternity,
will gladly see you next season ....

V. Sunset of Age

The days are getting shorter. The gaps are getting wider. The door creaks open. The red sun sets. Where have you come? Are you gonna sit on your heaps of gold trying to get back the days of youth you wasted?

IV. Achievement

It is joyous to achieve something। Mere possession will not do. Success cannot be gauged in terms of material gains but in terms of achievement. No one can measure the level of your achievement but yourself. It measured by the level of contentment in your soul.

III. Freedom

I would rather not be chained to you. It is too much of a price to pay – anxiety, sorrow, jealousy, guilt. Love is but a confusing term. I‘d love you better if I wasn’t in love with you. Only selfless love is free of Maya. I would rather be free to love you, or not.
