The good life!

We all dream of the good life
The big cars, the big houses, the fast life 
and grand parties
Fuelled by the trash society throws at us
In the name of civilization.

And we start running.
Faster, harder like fools
Chasing dreams that are irrelevant
But most of us realise that too late
When we are totally spent, emotionally and spiritually

Then we get the wake-up call
From the hidden corners of our subconscious
Questioning the usefulness of the chase we wasted half our life pursuing 

And, the mind wakes up to see through the clutter and trash we have been seeing since born

We start looking for ways to be happy as that is not a skill we learnt at school.
But we learn fast. Because we are programmed to be happy. It's in our genes.

And then the life changes for the better
We start living for the greater good
For things that make us truly happy

Little things that we thought totally useless
Becomes the centre of our life. And we start living, in happiness with joy in our hearts and smiles on our faces....just as we did as children.

Remember the childhood days? The innocent laughter, the meaningless dreams and the crazy ambitions? 

When we thought everything is possible?

Those days are not gone. We just stopped us from living that way. Let's begin again.
Let's be children again. Let's relearn, unlearn and recreate the dreams we dreamt as children.

Because that will make us truly happy.
And we can all live and die with a smile on our faces.

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years.  Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...
