Life Experiences by Tilak

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!

It's strange! In the last 10000 years, humanity has found a zillion ways to consume and plunder this planet. But has not found a single way to find happiness. Everything that we have done as humans is to make us unhappy by desiring for more. More pleasure, more money, money things, more showing off and more disasters We are moving away from the nature. We are consuming food that is more and more artificially processed. We are living in environment which is artificially controlled with ACs. We are trying to create a man made paradise when we still can't create another human What's the point of trying to be god when we are so hopelessly dependent on God for every need of ours? I don't understand I want to be happy. Happy and content. Content to have just enough of everything that will take care of me all of my life. I want to be free. Live life on my own terms and not just be a slave of the society which I have been ever since I'm born. Why? Why can't we choose fr...

God has given us all an inner light. We all have a responsibility to use that light to show the path to others who are travelling the journey of life with us, and due to some unfortunate events, are unable to find their own inner light. It is our duty to help them find the inner light. That's what makes us human. We are like candles, the more candles we light the happier we get as a society and we don't lose our light in the process, but get to be part of a brighter world. And, may be at some point in our lives, when we struggle with our light, someone will help us too. Let's glow. Let's light up others around us. Let's live in a paradise on earth. The world is so beautiful with God's grace. Let's enjoy it all together. Happily and with gratefulness in our hearts😊🙏

The whole universe seems to be conjuring up moments for us to be happy...but are we giving happiness a chance? The birds are singing their songs and the trees are offering us their shade for free, but we are so busy with negative selftalk that we fail to notice it The rivers are giving us free breeze and the oceans are humming their rhythms offering us the joy to take a dip of pure bliss...but we are too worried about getting sunburnt and not being in shape The forests are giving us free adventure trips with the trees and birds and wildlife but we are more focused on the adventures on dating sites We are not giving nature a chance to make us happy. As the famous song says it's time to return to innocence. We must turn back and give life a chance to heal us with its abundance and joy It's our only path to redemption. It's our only path to salvage us from the mess we have got ourselves into As a race we are dying and we are the ones building the coffins to bury us....we expec...

Everyday there are soany stories about men getting richer, buying faster cars, marrying prettier models, starting companies from scratch etc etc But what really turns me on are the stories of seasoned men giving back. Giving back to their communities, to their people, to the world. Giving back is the only way to start the karma of getting it back with interest. The universe is like the biggest bank you can think of and what we invest it returns to us with big interest. So people who understand this give freely. Give with their hearts. It's not just money. It's all we have. It could be compassion, love, humility, encouragement, support, smiles, generosity anything.  The reverse is also true...the negatives come back with returns too. So next time you want to send out something to the universe be mindful. You are starting a chain reaction more powerful than the nuclear reaction. Be kind. Be humble. Be good. Afterall all we have is a gift from God and will be gone from us when we ...

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...

An actor I love, Morgan Freeman, has done something unique. He was concerned with the disappearing of bees, hence he has converted his ranch into a giant beehive and has become a beekeeper. So what we may ask? We all have the power to make a positive difference in this world. May be all we can do is say thank you God! And try to make our surroundings a little more livable in the little way we can. It may not do any good. But it won't do any harm either. And it might help us find our IKIGAI. Our purpose to live.  Not a bad tradeoff!
