Fear of Losing

I am so intrigued by the word FEAR that I see almost everyone suffering from it . For some time I thought it was just me, but eventually it turns out that  everyone is either dealing with it or have already dealt with it. 

My larger question is, why do we fear ? What is it about that we are so scared of losing, Is it money, fame , family , friends or Life. Whatever it is that you fear to loose is anyways lost because it has already crippled your mind .

Just like any other form of emotion fear too, is a product of emotion. Like happiness constituents to confidence, sadness  constitutes to loneliness and anger constitute to bitterness fear constitute to losing your self. Living life in the fear of unknown will always restrict to reflect your true self . 

When your start to listen to all  the noises around you and  in your mind, there  will always be something occupying your mind, never allowing you to think anything beyond the greed of being happy. Not that there’s any problem in it, however, the problem arises when the greed is social , physical or material. Its difficult to let go because there is a motive to be satisfied and derive pleasure out of the object of your affection and even after obtaining what you want , you are still not satisfied because you fear losing it . It is this endless nagging desire for more that leads to trouble.

So when you think about it , you are left with only a few choices, live in the fear of all that which is in your mind or live with the hope of fulfilling your life, whether the fear of losing is important or losing your life over fear is important . It is a choice only you can make. So learn  to fight your fear  because  when you fight something which is within you , there is a chance of liberating your self.

Much Ado About Being Positive or Negative

I am a Learner. Everyday is a Process of finding a new perspective & new realization. I wish to share my thoughts that comes from my experience of being Me, and my pleasure of wrting gives me an opportunity to share my words with you !

As much has been said and written about the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude, however in our world we hear too much about positivity and negativity, not that it does not matter but how much should be enough to break free from the catastrophe created by just these two words. Positives and negatives do exist and we generally associate these words with either people or situations surrounding us.

Since both these words are a process of thought driven by our emotion and when we tend to over do on our emotion we make these  words magnanimous in our life, that is when we really loose the sight of sanity.

Business’s have forever been harnessing our lives based on these two words.  Self-help pschyclogy and motivational talking or reading teaches us many ways how best we can depend on these words but what they don’t say is, not every situation or people in life can be judged by just these words and neither all situation can be applicable or limited to these words.

Everybody wants positive outcome and not worry about the negatives, stressing enough to only think positive, but positive thinking alone is not the secret of success, but only the result of success. The nature of mind is such that when we say we don’t want something its then we are thinking more of it, so the more we think about not being around negativity the more we are in.

So why in the first place even talk about positives or negatives ? Why cant we try to be there as a whole . If we are going to limit it to a person or situation our conscious intelligence will not work.

A person or situation is neither positive nor negative. They just exist and If we are aware, we can perceive a situation just the way it is. When we  perceive a situation the way it is, we  can act to the best of our intelligence and capability.

 

 

 

 

 

BUSINESS OF LOVE IN RELATIONSHIPS

I wonder often why sometimes we feel there isn’t enough love in our lives .
After satisfying all our cravings and appetite for worldly affairs we still find ourselves short of love. Unconditional parents, loving family, supportive spouse, satisfactory education, amazing kids, good job and still more cravings … Why it is never enough for us to be satisfied forever, and even once in a while if we manage to be satisfied still we look for more love outside. How to bring more excitement in our lives have become more important than who can bring more value into our lives .The confusion is between the excitement and value content of a relationship , not that the former is not important however the latter is more satisfying . Relationships as it is, is very tricky to define, since it has many names, many types and many pattern but one thing we know for sure is, it runs on Love. Another complicated emotion and when combined with love in relationships it becomes even more challenging .
I am not a relationship expert but i think there isn’t anything as enough love to keep a relationship going other than the desire to keep it going . Relationship full of love and based upon best values also sometimes tumbles and fall . So to say relationships are never perfect to begin with , sometimes we complain about not finding love, sometimes love dint stay as long and sometimes even after all that , love is still missed !
So is it really about love not being enough at any given time or is it the feeling of love that keeps changing with time ? There is always someone who’s hearthbroken, but should the pain and suffering be the reason to define the low’s of life or the purpose of life should be to breathe again and live life with all its highs and lows.

My understanding says, Relationships does not define love, rather love and its values defines the destiny of a relationship as desires and choices are often limitless ,but value is limited by the choices we make .So i think, one of the  ways to sustain Love in relationships is to know how to forgive without which it is difficult to carry happiness forward.

As quoted in “Bhagavad Gita”

“If you want to see the brave, look to those who can return love for hatred. If you want to see heroic, look to those who can forgive.”

How much do we understand about GOD

Well, it’s a very common question I hear almost every seeker, scholar, believer , devotee or an atheist asks at least once in their life, Who is GOD ? Not that i have an answer to it but i have a different understanding about what leads to believing in GOD.
As you dig deep in History with various types of Ancient Civilization unfolding itself, there’s one very common believe that surfaces each time and that is the devotion in GOD. There’s no denying that megalithic structures and magnanimous monuments were constructed in every advanced civilization to prove their believe in prayers and worship but as mankind has progressed and so is science we like to have an answer to all questions related to science, history and everything far and beyond. There have been theories after theories coming up with all kinds of explanation and suggestions. Alien theorist would like to believe that God is an Alien, Religious theorist believe God as a Divine Person and Atheists believe God is non existing .
The further advancement in technology is undoubtfully helping us find our answers and proving to be very beneficial for human race but not so beneficial for spiritual race , because technology can prove the existence of energy but it cannot prove how it decides to manifest itself. So if you only go by the concept of science and technology everything in this Universe is a cosmic mix of energies which is self-generating , self-propagating and self-destructing
as per Hinduism (Brahma ,Vishnu ,Mahesh) even so, still there has to be an origin , if that origin is even vaguely thought to be like a black hole, still there is an existence which is not yet completely understood by humans.

So my believe says, every civilization comes with its own limited understanding of the unknown. Whatever they think at that point in time either becomes their theory or hypothesis and gets a place in our textbooks. Since no civilization has existed throughout time there is no way to prove they have known God. Therefore, the question still remains Who is GOD ? A Person , an Alien or a Believe !!!

Though for me he is the infinite, yet if i have to express in words this is how i would like to describe

He is the Eternal Truth and yet an Unknown,He resides in every being and yet He is invisible, He whose eyes open to the daylight and closes to darkness, He who is the Knowledge and also the Ignorance. He who is omnipresent and still invisible .
He who existed before anything else existed and He who will exist even when nothing else will. He is the ultimate truth who exists in our hearts but not always in our minds. He who supports and preserves all the creation in the universe, He is the witness of all Occurrences, well-wisher of all beings, He is the one imperishable, indestructible seed from which all beings in the universe are cultivated.

The Gita – Chapter 9 – Shloka 18

गतिर्भर्ता प्रभु: साक्षी निवास: शरणं सुह्रत् ।
प्रभवः प्रलय: स्थानं निधानं बीजमव्ययंम् ।।१८।।
As quoted by LEO TOLSTOY
“God is that infinite All of which man knows himself to be a finite part ”

 

Going Back to Basic

 

Sometimes I wonder how simple words have become so over rated these days. Like this very simple word ORGANIC, Seems to have become extremely over-rated . Every market,every seller , every conversation is using this big word . Seems like its become a trend . For some reason we always adapt simple things quicker but perceive complicated things better. No wonder why we are the humans of 21 st century. We love to complicate everything, at first we mess our selfs with too much pesticides and later want to wash all off . The same goes with todays trend of knowing much about YOGA. Its an ” IT” word ! So many variations of yoga but have not yet come across anyone who can even differentiate between YOG & YOGA, limited with the knowledge of postures and feel good factor & chakras etc etc is the definition today . How long can we keep following the trend ? There is a need for understanding the basic’s as it is … Instead of trying to swirl and twist and talk, I would say stop the mind that thinks too much, concentrate on the simple things -that’s what we humans are made of, Simple elements of Nature .
My understanding says simplicity is the trend Be it food, lifestyle , communications or relationships.
In Fact, the centuries greatest discovery also started simple , Like a drop of an apple.  So why go for big words when being simple can fix everything .

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAVEL

Well, i have always been a traveller. Good old days when i was in college and coming from a culture where traveling alone for a single girl was forbidden, it was my Dad who came to my rescue. I  have always loved traveling. The purpose of traveling those days were different from now, earlier it was for the purpose of exploring career opportunities . Never the less what i was always awestruck was the fact that no matter where u go what u see and how u see if it amazes u for whatever reason then you are a Traveller !
Not to mention Traveling and Vacations are two different concepts but when merged together can give immense experience of peace and tranquility .
The big question is – what should be your destination? Every traveller have their choice of place they like to see or people they like to meet or a culture they like to explore. When i was traveling back in INDIA  i myself was not sure if one country can have so many colors , traditions and culture whether it was meeting family members or random people as it has always contributed to my memory list. Likewise, every place has its own color, traditions and culture and when we feel and share their experience with ours its then our destination comes to perspective. We don’t explore Traveling, it explores us !

Quoted by St. Augustine

.“People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.”

In-depth Scientific knowledge hidden behind our Religious Texts

Two lines of the Hindu Prayer “Hanuman Chalisa “compute the distance between Earth & Sun with great simplicity.

Well, i was so intrigued after learning the fact that Hanuman Chalisa ( Hindu Prayer for Lord Hanumana) mentions the distance between the Earth & Sun and that too so precisely !

I am assuming on an average every Hindu /Indian at some point have read or heard Hanuman Chalisa & not many of us have ever noticed what it means completely, especially referring to these lines which says ;
” Yug Sahastra Yojan Par Bhanu, Liliyo Tahi Madhur Phul Jaanu”
“जुग सहस्त्र योजन पर भानु, लील्यो ताहिमधुर फल जानू”

Which simply means that Lord Hanuman while he was a little boy , thought the Sun (Bhanu) which was one shahastra yuga yojana away was a sweet fruit and how he wanted to eat the Sun thinking its a fruit !

Now, If you calculate according to the Conversion Practice as per the Hindu / Sanskrit Vedic Literature , it is;

1 yuga = 12000 celestial years
1 sahastra = 1000
1 yojana = 8 Miles

This means that the Sun ( know as ‘Bhanu’ in Avadhi Language) is 1 sahastra yuga yojana away ,i.e
yuga x sahastra x yojana = par bhanu
12,000 x 1000 x 8 miles = 96,000,000 miles away !

The distance between Earth to Sun has been defined as 92,955,807 miles AU              (Astronomical Unit-  space.com)

Now this is interesting, knowing the fact that Hanuman Chalisa was written in 15 th century by “Goswami Tulsidas “in Avadhi Langauge. The Question is how did Tulsidas calculated this distance or how was he able to know this distance.

And this is not the only thing which will surprise you, there are so many verses from the “Vedas & Upanishads” that speaks precise astronomical calculations & scientific method used during the Ancient Times .

I am certain that History is not what we know in today’s time. There’s a lot more hidden behind & unknown to our understanding which makes us skeptical of accepting the fact that the World what we see of today was not always the same rather,  it was way more advanced than our understanding ! Wether its the pyramids of Egypt, Sighting of UFO’s, mysteries of Hollow Earth, vanishing in Bermuda triangle, appearance & disappearance of mystical signs , so on and so forth….Also, Its very evident that great Physicists and scientist have mentioned their reference of “Vedas” in their work as a source of Spiritual and scientific knowledge including Albert Einstein, ,Erwin Schrodinger, Nikola Tesla &Niels Bohr .

I believe Knowledge that comes in any form is Divine and we must learn to respect our culture so that we can accept the Immense knowledge that comes from our cultures that existed hundreds of years ago and was far more Advanced than ours !

As said by Nikola Tesla
“The gift of mental power comes from God, the divine being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.”

DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR MOMENTS

Do we ever think how is it to live life in the moment ? With all the sorrow, grief, anxiety , dissatisfaction and stress around us we have become in-tune with these adjectives, overlooking the fact that its always the simple things that gives us more pleasure than all the material things we are constantly trying to achieve.
For example, have u ever thought why food taste a bit more delicious when you are eating out, why kids feel more joyous when playing with their parents, why drinks are more intoxicating when shared with buddies

Well, its mainly because these are the moments we are cherishing knowingly or unknowingly.
The happiness that comes from these moments stays in our memory forever whether its a memory of childhood or college, wedding or becoming a parent, these are the times we are conscious of our happy moments. So when the question comes of living in the moment our logical mind says where’s the time ? Don’t we have to work and do this or that, we will always have something to complete, somewhwere to go, someone to meet . There is always somethings in our lives that will always remain incomplete, therefore the best we can do is to make use of our valuable time by realizing every moment in it, whether its   working in the moment, laughing in the moment or playing in the moment. Staying conscious in all your moments becomes like being in the moment. Its when you start to live in the moments everything gives you pleasure. As they say ” You don’t have to know the destination to understand the journey, just keep walking , the smile on your face and peace in your heart  says it all !

Reason to Dream

Once in a while its important to retrospect our self’s. What is that we want the most in our lives, what’s our Dream & why is it so important to us, Can our dreams come true ?

Well ….. I think it can and it does !

“DREAMS can become REALITY because there is no such actual reality ! Our perception is our reality. What we perceive in our thoughts finds its way to existence & makes it real for our eyes. Every thought generated from our soul travels through the dynamic emptiness of space which truly isn’t an empty space but a space brimming with life and connections. We generate the events through Our thoughts that travels across this space & time connecting one soul to another and one event to another thereby projecting our own created thought into reality … and , we say ” our dreams have come true ” so the big question ‘who makes your dreams come true ? – its YOU & only You …. So keep dreaming , dream big , dream for your Health, Wealth & Happiness. Its all coming across …
