Destiny

Do we know the future, can we control the destiny, can we stop something ...why is it hard to surrender to his will, why is it hard to accept the truth, why is it ...


Why is a question, whose answer lies deep within us, I think we know it's inevitable, but it's just something that can't go as per our plan, it's the destiny that we all have, we can try as much as we can to drive it the way we want it, but it's still destiny...accept it gracefully that's all that we can

Trust is like a glass

Nithyananda means joy for ever. Never knew that swami could take it literally.

Not that it's something unnatural for a man to indulge in those activities. And specially a young handsome man. It's the way a person wears a mask from the society.

In the spiritual world it's hard to understand how can people remain celibate for life.

In case these celibate's are caught celebrating the natures forbidden fruit, they come down flat and face the wrath of media, people and their own worshippers.

Surprisingly, I still feel that I've learnt some great things about religion and practices, yoga and meditation from this person and other deciple swami's of him. Maybe it's because the practices and preachings were straight from Vedic scriptures.

It's a situation of a teacher who did a great job but at some time he lost the regard because he was caught in a compromising situation.

Well, I wrote this thinking I'll rest my mind by putting my thoughts here.

One more thought though... Why are our beautiful and powerful Vedic scriptures missing from our school syllabuses? Do we need a Godman from around the street to preach 'em all the time?

Life is a train journey

If we could treat life as a simple train journey we would be rather blissful than what we are today.

Think about it, the analogy came to my mind while I was discussing with my brother; some general challenges we face in ones personal relationship and specially at a workplace.

So here is the thought that I had:

When we board a train we meet strangers, we then slowly accept them as companions and make short term friends. Most of the times we have a great time and enjoy ourselves sharing views on various worldly topics, cultures, how people should live. All this is done without any fear or thought of any good or bad future implications. We are respectful to them at all times, and share with them whatever we can. So they do, there is a very short-term happy bonding that builds up. And, all this is until we finish our journey. As soon we get down of that train, we get into our daily grind, our regular goals and objectives takeover from this point and govern our schedule and activities. And, we forget these short-term friends and relationships that we made in the journeys.

We hardly have very strong memories from such journey's in past. If we recall we can see that we were almost detached and yet so attached during these journeys, we were not intruding in any one's privacy yet sharing a lot of ideas and thoughts without personal inhibitions. Overall we were very happy and were enjoying ourselves.

But, on the contrary in our personal lives we are cautious, have inhibitions, we are highly judgmental in our approach. We either love or hate people around us. We have high expectations, unfulfilled desires and lots of alases and could be's.

Did we ever realize that all we need to is - live this life just like another train journey. And, with this simple mantra we could live a happier life.

Are you ready for a new journey...if yes then just...

"Drop your baggage and board a fresh train"

We all carry baggage from our past, baggage of worries, fear, guilt, anxiety, pain and even pleasure. There are more that can make the list long, baggage come in all colors and sizes. It depends on how much can we carry. Well the fact of how much we can carry makes us proud of ourselves, or rather builds that ego. Well these are the facts as the master says, so these baggage's are mere facts.

And, the Truth is that we need to be free of them and should board a fresh train, a train that will take you to the most memorable trip. the trip of your lifetime, the trip where you won't need any of these baggage. Rather, to put it in ruthlessly truthful words these baggage are not allowed on this trip.

Now, you are already wondering what is this trip about; this is a truth trip. This is a happy trip, a trip to visit your conscience, see and meet your spirit. And, who knows if you could see the glimpse of 'The God' in this trip. Who knows that you'll realize that the 'God is You' and only you. But it is possible and only if you have none of the baggage :)

Inspired by my master, the engine driver for this train Parmahamsa Nithyananda.

Idol worship is better than human worship

You don't have to really read this one...

Just saw a movie that starred a famous rock star, we couldn't recognize this rock star so we started googling the images. We got a match and then related articles of this rock star's worship. This person was a drug trafficker, but that does not dither the worship he was bestowed. It's like worshiping someone like Hitler :) So how fair is 'Human Worship'.

And probably some of these human worshipers are not much in favor of idol worship. Do they know why the idols are worshiped. Just trying to know that would be still better then trying to read about a drug traffickers autobiography.

I don't know why I write this, just thought to vent it out for myself. You don't have to really read this one.

Killing Sleep

July 23, Killing Sleep

It is over 2:30am in the effort to upgrade my MSN meessenger it has taken an hr extra...I am killing my sleep, reading random stuff...
Am I objectiveless, am I thinking something, My Ipod is charging. I ran 5 miles today, was pretty slow, can do better, will run tomorrow - don't know, let tomorrow come. I have important stuff to complete at work, should I initiate my boss's work, let us see. Is it raining tomorrow. Who knows what will happen in Cricket, is India going to win, well who cares, would like them to win though...

It goes on, the mind never sleeps, it is difficult and rather challenging to make it sleep, I am thirsty. you see we get multiple thoughts but all in a sequence, I am thirsty, I need to get up, I have been contemplating to get up since last 60 mins.

Well the ipod ...I need it.

Not too sure if I sign out from MSN will it sign me out from here. I wish I learned typing...

Random thoughts have no connection and still we are "Slaves of our Minds" it rules us... The information is the food for mind and in today's world this mind is obese with infromation, content and ideas...it can do anything , can go to any extent and has redefined achievement, ecstasy etc.

Nithyanad Swami is correct, if we could be unclutched and let these random thoughts pass by like we would do when we were young...listening from one ear and letting it out from the other...if we let these random thoughts pass by and not collect them like we collect the 'raddi' and stuff athome, our head will be clearer and the soul will have space to live and at the end we will get an opportunity to listen to our soul instead of our mind.

Good Night...that is what my soul , my being says to you right now. Well same to me I guess :) I am thirsty , now I need a rest room too :) need to go.

Fear of death is a Cup of Coffee

It is true, the fear of death is our state of mind.

No one dies, only our body does. The soul is set free to clinch a choice to rebirth or if powerful enough would be able to see the choice to attain Nirvana.

Well these thoughts are not mine, they are from Vedanta teachings and someone who recently gave me this information.

So coming back to the topic, how is fear of death related to cup of coffee then?

This is derived from the sequence of random thoughts we have ...and this is an example...You have to imagine that we could have these thoughts too, in a similar sequence.

Thought 1 - What if I have an accident
Thought 2 - Will I die
Thought 3 - What if I die
Thought 4 - Who will take care of my family
Thought 5 - I see the gas station
Thought 6 - I need a coffee, I think I am sleepy
No thoughts, the focus is on pulling the car to the gas station parking lot
Thought 7 - Let me lock this before I get in the station's store
Thought 8 - What coffee I should have....

and it goes on...

If you noticed the Fear of death translated in a Cup of Coffee :) Funny but real.

We have random thoughts like these all the time, and it is upto us to leave them and let go, if we clutch on one we start building on it, thinking relatively and a story is soon up...I mean probably the driver was sleepy and suddenly thought what if I sleep, I'll have an accident ....and then the driver saw death and it went on until the gas station and the cup of coffee saved him :)
