It's time to wake up the sleeping Buddha within

I truly believe that our spirits are thousands of years old. And the learnings of each birth is retained by the soul and is never forgotten. The knowledge about our past lives are dormant within us but is very much there. I am sure we have a Buddha within all of us that is waiting to be awakened by the right stimuli. 

I think the time is here. The time is now. As a civilization, in the last five hundred years or so we have lived like the Gautama the prince. Someone who has been born into riches and is distant from any kind of pain. We have science as the courtesans offering us all the amusements our mortal bodies seek. But the soul is left malnourished with our over indulgence in materialism. 

But now as we look around, our extravagance has cost us dearly. We have ruined our environment. We have poisoned the air, water and Earth. We have stopped thinking about our very existence. 

It's time the Gautama enters the cave within and prays long and hard. And emerges as the Buddha. All of us.

So that we have a society that is more just, more balanced, more happy and more content. We again become mindful of creating  society where everyone lives peacefully, in prosperity and with pride. 

Let's take a few steps back as a civilization to catapult ahead. Shall we?

The power of travel

We don't meet people like Columbus anymore. Someone who risked everything to travel and find Newlands. Virgin territories for humanity. Today we are so obsessed with our gadgets, that we are moving away from the real world. We are not travelling enough. We are not aware of our surroundings.  We are not one with nature anymore. I'm worried. Are you?

Plastic world!

We stopped being nomads ten thousand years back... And like stagnant water, our decay started. We formed boundaries that never existed before But we became the prisoners within them We let greed take over and we started finding joy outside us God was within us but we looked outside We became obsessed with winning We started killing for fun We chose to be cruel when we should have chosen to be kind We chose to kill when we should have chosen to collaborate We became a society full of plastic A society that glorified materialism A society that was dying from within A plastic world Will we ever come out of this plastic world? No one knows for sure Let's enjoy the nature what's still left Before we might start paying for the air we breathe We are dying as a race We are killing our own selves by eating junk and filling out minds with junk It's got to stop now We must turn back to nature and become free We must return to innocence For happiness and liberty

Warring for peace?

May seem like an oxymoron but that's exactly what we smart human race is doing. We need to look within ourselves to find light. We are all sinking the planet to depression with our fears, negativity, stress and greed. We were so much happier with little. We lived in the moment. Now we live in insta reels. We are going in the wrong direction as a race in the speed of light with no return  Only God can help us. We are so keen to destroy ourselves. May there be sanity to end suffering and may there be peace and happiness for all humans. Help us God. Bless us with your grace. We need you more than ever. Only you can save us God
