Will To Protect

So many are lured towards where quantity is. They think the more quantity there is of anything, the more quality it is. Quantity equals quality for them. It's not true. Quantity can be discovered easily as it is gross and right before our eyes. Quality is hard to find but could be found everywhere. We just need to focus our attention on finding it. Quality is a speciality, it's a miracle. It takes years or maybe comes spontaneously but it is a wonder and I think we just need to fix our eyes on quality rather than quantity.

They both took the same path to reach the destination. One guy, eager to get to the destination, ran. The other guy, however, walked, enjoying the views. The first guy reached the destination fast and unaware of what to do next waited for the other guy to come. The other guy came dancing to the destination. "What do I do next?" the first guy asked. "What do you want to do?" the second guy replied asking a question. "I don't know, I've reached the destination." "Then just simply sit" "Simply sit? What do you mean?" "I mean what I said. Simply sit" "I can't. I want to do something." "For what." "I don't know. To accomplish something." "You've already accomplished. You've reached the destination." "Yeah. But I am not satisfied." "It's because you were fast that you missed the point of the journey. It is to enjoy the views. And n...

The process is vast.  It is so massive and unpredictable that we cannot spot its steps. Yet it journey's through our own thoughts and decisions. Those who live truthful remains successful. It is a devastating process. It is so devastating that we almost get destroyed in the process. If we could know the process prior to its accomplishment then we probably would give up. But we could understand the process only after surviving it. The process filters everything around us. People, places, actions, ideas, concepts, beliefs, everything. It filters everything around us and the remaining would be the genuine remnants of our life. This is natural filtration.

You are the seat of fragrance. The fragrance is what you wish for and yet you fly around everywhere to discover the seat of fragrance. Like the musk deer. You will get stumbled upon things that you consider where the fragrance comes from. You name it and give a form to it, and you consider it to be the seat of fragrance. But you have to understand that you yourself gave the fragrance to the name and the form. The truth is, you are the seat of fragrance.

There is an endless reverberation to the river water that flows. The ruffling sound of the river water seems chaotic yet it's rhythmic. But what's the magic of the ruffling sound? It speaks a language of its own. If we can listen, it speaks to us. When you take attention into listening to the river, the river speaks the language of the Gods. Or it seems. It takes you into the realm of the unknown. The realm where the human intellect cannot penetrate. A realm when touched, does not want to let go off. Then, know that the river becomes you. 

A war is waged to acquire something, its purpose. If the war is rightly waged, then it's half the winning chance. It is half the chance of victory only in the outer world. If we can turn inward into ourselves, the inner world, the dwelling place within us, if there's a war, it's not half to victory and half to failure. It's a hundred per cent chance of victory. Win the war, where it is not a chance for failure, then victory will also be yours, where there are chances for both victory and failure. 

Some need drugs. Some need alcohol. Some need sex. Some need television.  Some need work and for me, it is music that makes me blissed-out. Nothing other than music could make me blissful. I was wondering why this happens to me and these to other people. When I listen to music, I get completely immersed in it. I lose everything. I lose me. Drugs, alcohol, sex etc. all makes people lose themselves. I think this is the alchemy to get blissed-out.

"I've discovered a gold mine," I said, "and I am going there right away." "Why are you going there?" he asked. "I've found a gold mine." "I mean what are you going to do with the gold mine?" "I am going to make money with the gold." "How?" "I will extract the gold and purify it, remove the impurities, process it and make pure gold out of it. Then I sell it, maybe even make ornaments out of it." "My son, if you know this much about turning mine into money, then no need to go anywhere because understand that you yourself is the Gold Mine."

There is a letter for you. In the letter are full of statements. You are asked to either agree or disagree with each of the statements. If you agree, it's Yes and if you don't, it's No. If you say yes or no, then it becomes your problem. The statements become your concern. You get identified with the statements. I say renounce both, yes or no. So we become untouched. By the way, no need to agree or disagree with this.

There are two stones, or two flowers, or two roads, or two processes or anything two. If you choose one of the two, then consider that one will be pleasurable the first and disastrous at the last. The other one will be disastrous first and pleasurable at the last. Which one would you choose? If we choose any of the two, it doesn't matter. Let's be equanimous. Equanimous to the first and the last. 

The desert is arid. The sands of the desert are radiating and reflecting heat. The waves of the heat are dancing all around the atmosphere. Not even a single sign of life is seen. I know that I am stranded in this desert. Miles and miles of pure golden sand are stretched across in front of me. The last drop of water that I had had already finished an hour ago. With this scorching heat, I know that I will only live for minutes. I am getting thirsty and if I am not able to find water soon, then it's over for me. I came to the end of my last bit of potential. I see, forward of me, a pool of water. The unknown joy hidden inside of me came to the surface. I came to the pool, sat on my knees on the bank. I took the water on my palms. But it was just a heap of sand. Then there was another pool, right in front of me. I came to the pool. Again a heap of sand. I fell down on to the sand. Before I closed my eyes, I saw another pool. "A mirage," I thought and closed my eyes....

"I am ecstatic" "Ecstatic?" she asked. "Yeah ecstatic. Simply ecstatic." "I don't understand" she said. "Tears of Ecstasy, don't you know?" I asked. "No" her answer came fast. I became perplexed and sat in contemplation. I reminisced about 'tears of ecstasy' that happened. The love made me ecstatic. When I love, I lose. I lose the questions, the answers, the things, the world and even myself. I lose everything and tears of ecstasy happen. "What is love? Why tears of ecstasy?" I asked to myself. I don't know. It just happen. I think some things should rather be experienced than questioned.

The waves were gently touching the shore. He could hear the waves that were flowing through the sand. It was gentle, soothing and in rhythm. "The waves are in rhythm," he thought. His mind was blank and numb. He was lying down on the seashore, staring at the cloudless sky. He couldn't perceive anything. "No one, no one, no one" kept resonating in his ears. "Let me die." "How?" "Let the waves take me away," he thought He sat down, glared at the sea. It was gentle. "The waves are in rhythm," he thought. "Even the waves are in rhythm, what about life? Life is in rhythm too. It must be a play and I've got a role to play." He went back home.   

I was observing the candle for quite some time. Something in me got lighted up when I observed the candle. It provoked so many thoughts in my mind. But one particular thought struck me. The thought was haunting me. It was a doubt but could not be answered. The candle was melting away, soon it will melt away completely. The candle was nearing its end, its death. But what about the flame? Does it have an end? The last flame? Before lighting the candle, there was only the candle, no flame. The very purpose of the candle is to be lighted. By lighting the candle, time starts for the candle. It gets melted away to its end. But by not lighting the candle, the candle will not be able to fulfil its destined purpose. Should the candle be lighted and meet its death or should it not get lighted and live much time? I think we are like the candles. We could either choose to get light up, that is to live our destined purpose or to not get lighted up, to live many years inertly. I think we sho...

Death is not an end. Death is like an act of life which makes something ceases to be. When we say, "ceases to be," we denote about the perishment of the unity of something. The modern science differetiates things as living and non-living. We commonly refer as happening death to living things. When living becomes non-living, we say the living thing is dead. But we also say, death to planets, stars, etc. It refers about the destruction of planets and stars. We link death to destruction. The real question is; is death really destruction? To find that, we need to understand what destruction is. Destruction is a word which denotes the complete perishing of something to make it non-existent. The word, "non-existent" should be specially noted. Destruction denotes the complete annihilation of something from existence itself. But existence is a metaphysical thing. It is beyond the realm of our understanding. It could not be limited to our five senses understanding....

Time is a part of human life. Everything that we do is according to the law of time. When I say the law of time, I denote about the inseparable association of time and human life. It seems like the human life is governed by time. Time is always moving forward. There is past, present and the future. Scientists say this as the arrow of time. Time starts when the universe began with the big bang and then continues and dissipates at the end. Although we cannot see or feel time, this invisible phenomenon called time is always measured. We even create rythm to our life from this random world by coordinating with time. Time is a measurement. A measurement of change or moments. In 1905, Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity. From this theory, a new concept of space and time was introduced. Based on this theory, a geometric interpretation that fused time and the three spatial dimensions of space into a single four-dimensional continuum was presented. Time is considered as...

I wear an amulet around my neck. An amulet called "Linga Bhairavi." I bought it from Isha shoppe, a shop which sells energized amulets. When we suspend it with a thread, we can see that it vibrates, and after some time it will begin to rotate. It is said that the amulet is consecrated, that is, it is energized. For some time I haven't worn it, but now I wear it around my neck. Even though there are some incomprehensible theories associated with the amulet which cannot be understood by simple logic, I just wear it as part of symbolising the survival of my heart. Linga Bhairavi: As dark as the darkest eyes, a pair of glowing eyes that penetrate deep into the recess of your heart, a gloriously sparkling third eye that perceives a dimension beyond the physical, graciously giving arms that bestow infinite grace to all in need, a pure gold saree that reflects her grandeur-Linga Bhairavi is the most exuberant expression of the divine feminine residing in a triangular-shap...

The devastating Hurricane Harvey hits the city of Houston. The rains are still pouring throughout the city rapidly increasing the floodwaters. The death toll is estimated to have reached 30. A detailed report of the flood can be found in this New York Times report. Click the link to go the page:  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/28/us/houston-maps-hurricane-harvey.html?mcubz=0 What we can get from this situation is that of what we could understand from all the floods and hurricanes in general. We know people are all trying to live in a comfortable situation, which we call as getting settled. But we should ask ourselves honestly "Are we really getting settled?" The answer that I would say is a "no," since who could really get setlled. I mean everyone needs to work daily to get their security. Even if we get our security, we need to understand how, in what way, how long, and in what sense. We just assume that money will get us what we truly needs, bu...

This blog was usually about my personal life. Now that it is going to take a turn to include articles about almost all the general subjects like science, social science, religious studies etc. This blog, from now on will flow through the interesting facts of how the understanding of human beings will lead to the protection of their own species as well as of all the species that thrive in the planet earth. As we can see that all living beings, as well as their habitat, is connected to one another, so protecting one species or their habitat will eventually help ourselves in some way that we would not have imagined. So, the blog will still speak about the will to protect which have changed the world and the lives in it.      

“The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.”  ―  Aldous Huxley When I was a 13 year old kid my father put a book called "Unlimited Power" in my hands and said, 'take this as your Bible'. I asked him how this book is important as the Bible. He said that, 'people learn Bible in order to become better than they already are, that is to grow. This book also does the same thing, develop you. The difference is only in the approach. The Bible takes God, morals, values, duties, punishment etc. as its approach while this book "Unlimited Power" uses the way of science and research'. So ever since then I began to read personality development and self-improvement books. I have found out various ways and methods to develop myself...
