IS IT DESTINY:




Are we all destined to take our place on this earth, to be born, scientifically we do know, how we are conceived, but then there are thousands of healthy couples who are capable, but still they are unable to conceive a child, for which science is having no definite answer

as to why this happens, so are we really ordained?


If we yes then, should we not construe that, “If life is by accident then death is imminent.” There has to be someone who is writing our destiny, over the tens and thousands of years, the sages, the philosophers do have called this creator of life, as God, a Super Power.


Down the ages, mankind has got divided in various religions, sects, each having their own versions of God, ultimately the Creator was also destined to be divided in different forms, with diverse names, man divided his own Creator.


Was this also our destiny, or was it a mistake on part of our Creator, how come God was fallible, was He? Or was it His own way of teaching us, that what you are doing is the wrong thing, do not divide yourself, that you all are same; all are equal in His eyes. If that was the case why did we fail, was our personal ambition, our greed as overwhelming as to, not pay heed to our very own Creator’s teachings


It is but obvious that few adamant, greedy, over ambitious individuals, turned into radicals, decided to play the role of god, they were not satisfied in splitting humanity on grounds of religion and took one step further towards the nadir, by splitting the masses into classes and sub classes, different factions, castes and creeds, spreading a wave of hatred, pitching men against men, brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters, up in arms against each others.


A process started by fanatics, today being fuelled by preachers, by politicians for their own personal immoral gains, without any compunction, these very handful of unscrupulous elements are ruling the world, somewhere drastically something has gone wayward, or is that God has taken a back seat, contemplating what destiny should be written or is the era of godliness over, has God gone into hibernation and Satan taken over.


Looking at the chaos all around us, the mayhem that is taking place, the bloodshed in the name of religion, power and material gains that has been let loose, as some wild dogs on the scent of blood trail and hounding behind their prey, it seems understandable that, God has taken the back seat, so as to rewrite the destiny of mankind and in the meanwhile, allowed an open field to Satan.

LIFE AND TRANQUILITY



Please someone return back those bygone days, those days filled with moments of eternal harmony and ecstasy, please someone come forward and return them back, those days from my early childhood filled with nothing but raptures and innocence, Oh! Where are those days, when I used to run about and hug and smother my parents with kisses, or for that matter my granny and grand pa or my siblings, or even the near and dear ones or my nanny, Oh! Why and where, how and when, did I ever leave them behind? Those innocent moments filled with raptures.


I am sure thoughts similar to these kind, might be traversing through the minds of nearly all the grown ups, all over this planet irrespective of their beliefs, color, ethnicity, status and sex, equally I am sure that their respective gods, will have no answer to this question, nor the power to grant them this wish, only if one could go back in Time, then and only then, it would be possible, am I right? But no I do not think so, just think about the implication this thought itself carries, I leave it to your fertile diagnostic brain. At least it makes me shudder.


In the first place, why-WHY, is such a inconspicuous and a single word, but when asked to the right person, with proper earnest, in reply, it will open floodgates of, innumerous words- yes why, did we leave them behind, that today we are in search of them, did we outgrow of our innocence, or did we get carried away on this road, which we are yet traveling, but then where to are we traveling?


Was our quest so big that it overshadowed everything around it, that in its wake, we forgot to hug, to love, to smother the very people with kisses, without giving any thoughts to their feelings. This quest created innumerous things, amongst them, religions, gods, goddesses, preaching one thing in common, ‘herein lies your way to salvation,’ all had the same agenda with a different approach and route and somewhere down the road the way was lost.


Instead of interreligious tolerance, the ugly head of non tolerance crept in, people on religious lines started hounding and baying for each others blood, wonder in these moments of crisis the gods, where they were, or the preachers of religion where they vanished, the loving arms meant for holding and hugging with love and compassion, took up arms to kill each other in the name of religious fanaticism.


Loosing our way was easy; retracing became difficult, this is where we must have lost those moments, of which we are in search of today. The Bible, Gita, Koran other religious scriptures, written by men over a period of thousands of years, teaching one thing in common, of love compassion, tolerance, sacrifice and unison, lost out on the greed of a few handful of preachers, our world, mankind stood divided, maybe this is how we lost out.


For whatsoever reason we lost out we forgot that, the road being traversed by each and everyone of us is leading to one single destination, yet we are baying, yet we are intolerant, yet we are incompassionate, devoid of love and respect to the feelings of others ideologies, their beliefs, how come, we the intelligent race, the superior race fell in this rut.


Do you know the difference between a rut and a groove? The only difference is the dimension. Grooves are good; you can slide along the path in the way you should go. Ruts are so deep you can't get out, and can't do anything different.


Let the one fallen in groove, get up before sliding into a rut and extend his hand to the ones fallen in rut, help them to, get to their feet, irrespective of who they are, pull them out and hold them, give them a long hug, which will give them the assurance of everything not being lost, giving you the much needed reassurance, that everything is yet, in the right perspective.


Maybe nothing is lost yet that it can’t be retrieved, you don’t have to search nor beg for those lost bygone days, those days filled with moments of eternal harmony and ecstasy, for those moments are still within you, because, you are searching for them, they are imbibed, in the most sacred recess of your heart and your mind.


To start with, go ahead stretch your arms, draw someone from within the family, first thing in the morning close to you, give a hug hold tightly for at least ten to twenty seconds, feel the flow of positive vibes, see nothing is lost. Let us not forget the stream of life for each one of us, will take us down the river of humanity, to ultimately merge, within the sea of tranquility, the eternal peace, the death.

THOUGHTS & MOMENTS.

Do we ever give thoughts to our surroundings, or do we just take them for granted, on what kind of road will you prefer to travel, the more often used or the less travelled and pursue your dreams, your ambitions, have you ever wondered, that without movement one would not have known stillness and without thought, one would not have understood the importance of moment and of course, one should not forget, without thought, one cannot, learn, create, grow, build and ultimately develop.

Moments are the building blocks of our lives, the moment which comes our way, is a passing one, laugh and smile with it and only if necessary, shed a few tears with it, but…, but don’t ever, be a passive onlooker, then you wont achieve anything. They are the links in our invisible chain of life, nurture them one by one, so as to form a strong chain, let them come to you, caress them, don’t try to outlive them, but try to live within them, so as to get a lifetime out of them.

Many of us want to create something-to do something, but do they ever give a thought, as to what they want to do, it is pointless to day dream, if you want to really create something, than the first and foremost criteria is DIFFERENCE, without something different than the usual, how can you create anything, to implement new ideas you have to relinquish old habits, you can’t have a difference, by doing the same things you have always been doing.

Over the years thoughts have formed a tendency to flow in one direction, they are patternised, we have to recognize this habit in advance and the effort required, so as bringing about the changes quickly, after all time is the factor, it does not wait around the corner for you to catch up with, it relentlessly marches ahead, it is up to us to keep pace with.

Yes the road less travelled does make all the difference, pursue your dreams, when you are no more, let people say there was someone who lived and enjoyed a rich life in every way. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and spirit to spirit. All returns to from whence it came.

To quote:-

“and we’re free from the thinking, feeling body that some people seem to regard as an anchor weighing them down from “true enlightenment”… when, ironically, because of our limited state on this earth, it’s that very body which allows us to experience enlightenment in those previously mentioned moments — meditating, or walking through the park or on the beach.”
