The blindmen and elephant - story of our lives!

I am sure all of us remember the story of blind men and the elephant. How each blind man comes in contact with a part of the elephant and starts thinking the elephant is like a tree, or a snake or a fan etc.

I sometimes feel that our life is like that. At every stage in life, we are coming in contact with an aspect of life and we start thinking that this is life. As we grow older and when we have played the roles of all the blind men, we tend to put it all together and start figuring life as a whole. We get the whole picture then.

So till we are there, where we are ready to see life in full from every perspective, let's continue to play our role of the blind men and let's have the faith that life itself will reveal to us and we will experience life in full.

We will understand the whys and the why nots. We will get answers to all our questions and may be stop questioning the answers we have.

We will be truly and fully alive, living life on all engines gunning in full blast.

Till then, let's enjoy the journey. If the journey is beautiful, the destination will be even more stunning!

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!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

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!
