Breathing is not being alive!

We are not dead when we stop breathing. We are dead when we stop living!

I see so many people around me having a bright smile but eyes full of sorrow. I feel so sad for them. I can totally empathise with the. For, there are days when I too am one of them. Being honest!

But, just like the moon waxes and wanes, just like the seasons change, just like high tide and low tide, we too must change. We must know in our hearts that good times are coming and cheer ourselves. 

But, how do we stay happy for longer times? How do we make happiness our true nature? How do we find inner strength to overcome outer adversities without losing peace of mind?

There are tons of literature available that helps us attain peace and tranquility but it needs our conviction and courage. The courage to not follow the majority. The courage to be different. The courage to stand alone. The courage to ask for God's help and forgiveness and guidance. The courage to face our fears.

I'm sure as Buddha said we all can become Bodhosatvas provided we are ready to make some changes in our lives and stay in control of our happiness.

May God help us all, find our IKIGAI and Nirvana. 🙏

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!

Humanity you chose wrong!

The caves were dark. Suffocating. But the journey outside the caves has pushed mankind into deeper darkness. It is because we have probably made the wrong choices as a race, together. We are all partners in the crime and the victims too. We should have been driven by 'need' but we chose 'greed' to drive us. The clear skies over our heads , bright sunshine and the twinkling lovely stars, showed us the way to eternity but we chose to hear our own self -doubts. We dulled our insecurities by preying on the weaker species in an attempt to feel powerful. We hid behind our science toys to take on the mighty nature. Look at us now! How miserably failure we have turned out as a race. We have killed the nature with our little experiments and excursions trying to justify as progress... Put you hand on your heart...have we really progressed...other than discovering better toys to keep ourselves mused, have we really achieved anything worthwhile, we the humans? We still can'...
