The ultimate truth is "Change"

We always try to hold on to things...love, youth, beauty, money, relationships, position, recognition and everything which comes on our way or what we earn. This is a very common human trait, and the biggest challenge in itself. This is the biggest challenge of a human life as this trait in us takes us against Mother Nature. Yes, the Nature...change is the ultimate truth of nature. Being a part of this nature, change is inevitable to us, in every aspect of human life.

Change is inevitable...unstoppable...inescapable, perhaps this the truth each and every human being is fully aware of, deep down in his heart. In worst cases, the truth dwells in the subconscious and unconscious minds, bothering human constantly, making him build a strong resistance, a delusion, in his real life and conscious mind that he has everything under his control. After that, his ego and eventually his fear overpower him and make his life a total mess. 

Men struggle to accept this ultimate truth of the entire cosmos, “change". What comes in between? What causes the struggle? Is that ignorance? Is that our Ego? Is that the frailty of being human? Holding onto and letting go... the whole life, as if, a permutation and combination of these two phrases. What do we hold onto? What part we let go? Who will decide? Time or I? The processes, the struggle, the wait... all of it incur both pain and pleasure in our life span. This is the mystery of human life, makes it beautiful, interesting and worth living.

At the end, accepting the reality gives us freedom from pain… change is inevitable. Let us accept it and move on. J

The rootless me

A certain reflection on my inherent nature, have been bothering me at the back of my mind for quite some time now. 

This is a fact that I do not have a sense of belonging to any place, any human being, any idealism, any caste, any race… when I deduced the conclusion a few months back, I found the answer to many of my perplexing reactions to many important and trifle events in my life. I have never grown any root, never actually settled down…

It is not that I never felt the necessity of settling down in one place, with own house, a regular job and things like that. These are the so-called basic requirements of a secured life, which I have learned from what I saw around me since the day I started to understand the world.  But I did never learn to make a good bargain. Till date I have been very bad at the give and takes of life, so much so that I am considered a fool by the normal people around. It did pain me to realize that I was a fool. Yes, of course it did.

When I was supposed to settle down with whatever I had, and when I was to grow roots, I had to develop a sense of belonging, a strong bond of Maya that would keep me grounded in the society, yes I was doing so. I was developing all of that in me, to be considered being normal and do the expected. I was doing it all to be accepted by those whom I cared for and who counted on me.

The process of doing the expected, ignoring or not actually knowing what my own expectations are, is actually lethal. It suffocates. It kills you slowly when you have no clue. 

It is good that I accepted myself. How it happened, is not clear to me till now. Not that it is important. But finally I have realized and accepted the inner me. I am rootless, and I do not belong to anybody, anywhere. Or it can be put like that I belong to every single soul, and the whole universe is mine. 

Is it the Shiva in me? I wonder! Must be, isn’t it? :D

You Grow with Your Experiences When You are Living in the Moments

Life is to grow

Every day is an opportunity to grow a little more...  in pain or in pleasure...our existence is a long learning process. Knowledge earned from life experiences take us one step forward to eternal happiness.

The fact is we will not grow without experiencing each and every feelings of joy, grief, satisfaction, destitute, accomplishment, fullness, void, loss, wonder, cheer, stress, agony, ecstasy.....and many more 'unexplainables'.

Without experiencing each and every type of feelings, our knowledge is incomplete. This learning takes many lives....so it is important for us to be alive each moment. Open your doors to life, increase the level of awareness to experience life. When you are fully aware, you are here and now experiencing each moments with full awareness, you grow up intellectually, emotionally and thereby spiritually.

That is why in our life we will not find anyone who never had a moment of sorrow, or never experienced happiness. For each life has its own parameters, but they do experience, and learn and grow up intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.

Life is experience. So, never feel afraid of making an experiment. Successful or unsuccessful, every experiment in life is worth it. If you really are looking for something, never stop the search...

Bottom line is never be afraid of your experiences, never stop questioning and looking for answers yourself. When you stop, life stops, your growth stops.

I will come back with more realizations...till then

Keep the faith!
