Mind over Matter

I'm dead because I lack desire, 
I lack desire because I think I'm contented. 
I'm contented because I think I possess.
I think I possess because I don't try to give. 
I don't try because I procrastinate,
I procrastinate because I'm lazy.
I'm lazy because I'm not challenging,
Oh! Now, that I take it as a challenge,
I try.
In trying to give,  I see that I have nothing.
Seeing that I have nothing, I try again to give from self.
Trying to give from self, 
I see that I'm nothing.
Seeing that I'm nothing, 
I desire to become.
By having a desire to become, 
I begin to live.

It's all in the mind.
It's about what matters to us! :)

Mind it :-P (Rajinikanth Style)

She

 

It's an immeasurable driving force

That makes you insane

When you think about her

It’s like a dream-come-alive

She is like an uncontrollable passion

She’s a fire that burns you from within,

But with a healing power.

She’s a chill that makes you shiver,

But which warms you from within.

It’s like a jolt, a shock, an alarm, a buzz! ;-)

What you experience is

Exciting and Exhilarating  

It’s a complete state of happiness

You attain

When you talk to her

When you see her

There is no way you can describe

What she does to you

This is ecstasy, nothing less, nothing more.

She is incredible

Magical

Mystical

She purifies your soul

Hijacks your mind

Clogs your brain

Tingles your heart
This is bliss!!!

This is crazy!!!!!!!

She rips you apart

From head to toe

You’d never know what’s in her mind ;-)

Her glance might bring butterflies in your stomach ;-P

And make you weak in the knees! :-P

Her smile can kill you

At the same time

She gives birth...Enduring all the pain...
She's the mother of your child

She sometimes puzzles you
And gets you thinking about her! ;-)
She will cry her eyes out
And laugh her lungs out
Whenever with you!

She means a lot to you, and so do you to her! :-)

She might cuddle you to death
All she might expect is a kiss on the neck ;-)

A slightest of surprise might make her day perfect
She cooks for you with all heart and soul
She looks forward to see you when you come back home!

You love her, She loves you more!

She takes you on a high

Comforts you when you cry

She always supports you

with all her power and might

Emotionally and physically

Even when she’s unsure of her strengths

She mesmerizes you

Hypnotizes you

Keeps you captivated

And you love this feeling

You feel complete, she completes you.

She nurtures you

With her motherly instincts

She brings out the best in you

This is the power of a woman, Beyond imagination!

Have you ever thought about a world without women?

Im-mobile-ized life

Life and its complications….!!! Tell me about it…..!!! ;-P

In this fast moving pace of life…..Sometimes we ourselves add to the complications unknowingly, sometimes knowingly…sometimes the changing trends in our generation forces us to do it…!!!

It’s high time we get back to the basics…and cut the crap outta life..!!! And I mean it..!!! :-D

In this daily hush-hush we start focusing on the not-so-important-things!!!

Here, I compare our life to a mobile phone…. B-) :-D

[I know it’s a crazy idea….still :-P]

Like the good old days, where life was simple and so easy….and these days where even for a little stupid thing we have so much confusion on taking a decision! :-O :-/

The basic function of a mobile is connectivity..! Ain’t it ?? ;-)
The basic functions being messaging and calling!! :-D
Well, yes, right now I’m talking about a dabba phone( dabba- pet name for a basic phone :-P), and most of the time people using a basic mobile get a look from other people as if they were an extra-terrestrial creature! :-P (I have experienced it :-P)
But WDH!! Ain’t the purpose is served??! Ofcourse it is !!!

It’s simple, sweet n straight forward!!! :-D

Sometimes somethings which were never options for consideration become important options all of a sudden! Why? Why this shift in priority??

Addition of more functions to the basic ones most of the time end up adulterating the basic functions…Also true for our life… All these hi-tech gadgets are so useless… I just don’t get it why people are so mad about it ??!!! :-D :-O
The more the options, like in a touch screen phone, it has blah blah blah…. more is the probability of it getting hanged or whatever..!!
Same is the case with life….more options…more confusion…!!!
As I already said…. More unnecessary options imply adulteration of the very basic functions!!

(You are getting me now I guess :-P)

And this is how the whole system collapses!

*KABOOM* ;-P

Hi-tech phones….Invest more…!!...(not to forget the big hole in the pocket ;-)) Well, temporary happiness… Flaunting- shonting ;-) !! Might work initially…!! Then, the problems!!!... *buhaha*

Life, in comparison….is just the same…it should be simple like a dabba phone… "minding ones’ own business"..and not to forget…"doing ones’ own business properly and efficiently"…!!! Indulgence on unnecessary things is on the high these days…people just don’t get it…the real essence of life is not in these glam-sham things…but is with the basic things we have…!!!

Maybe comparing our life with a mobile is not a very good idea…!!! :-P

But, it’s again one of my crazy ideas which drives me to write crazy stuff…hence I thought of penning it down :-)

Infact, left to me, I would never recommend using a mobile! It’s an utter waste of time and everyone knows about the harmful effects the radiations cause! Nothing to beat meeting a person in person ;-) and saying hi! Nothing to beat playing a game with a friend rather than angry birds on an application! Or even a conference call? Why not an outing/ picnic with all those friends! With the increase in innovation, we forget our roots, get back to the basics guys! It’s worth it! :-)

 

     

And time flies! Doesn't it!!! I hope its not too late before you realize that you have lost it all. Go home, spend time with your parents, grandparents! TALK to them! Throw away your mobile for a while! Feel the real essence of the people in your life, and get down to the real mode of communication!!! :-) :-) 

P.S.  No doubt that the more options a mobile or life gives, the more is the flexibility and we have variety to choose from, but at the end of the day, simplicity is what wins the show, and no one wants a flop show!...Ummm...Do you?? ;-) ;-) :-P

I am free

What is your goal in life ?

Getting your dream job?... Or.. Wooing a girl? :-P
Contribute financially to your family??
Social service?... Or.. To join the Armed Forces?
Abolish corruption???
To serve the needy?...Or...Bring about a revolutionary change in politics???
A breakthrough work in research???
Act in a movie?? .... Or.. Walk the ramp? :-P
To meet SRK or Katrina Kaif??? :-P

Leading a contented life ???
Or being a good person, doing good karma?? (that’s mine :-D)

Aren't these earthily- goals?? :-P
What is the ultimate goal of a human being…ever thought about that??  

Do you believe in eternal-liberation ? 

I do!!!

*I’m toking about your post-death goal! :-P*

There are other temporary goals which act as stepping stones to eternal liberation!
I guess you know what I’m talking about:

Moksha- the highest goal- liberation from the viscous birth- death- birth circle! :-)

“A drop of water in the ocean”

The soul is compared to a drop of water and liberation to its merging into the vast ocean represents the Supreme Soul (God). It is a state of unity with God! The Advaita traditions say that moksha entails annihilation of the soul’s false sense of individuality and realization of its complete non- difference from God.

“A green parrot in the green tree”

The individual soul is compared to a green bird that enters a green tree (God). It appears to have been merged but has its own identity.

The dualistic traditions claim that God remains ever distinct from the individual soul.
Union here means to the realization of one’s spiritual nature through surrender and service to the Supreme Bramhan- GOD!

Liberation involves entering God’s abode, though many schools teach those souls who have become free from material contamination are already liberated, even before leaving the material body.

Without conquering qualities such as lust, anger and greed, and without control of the mind and senses, there is no question of being liberated from the entanglement of the material world.

Moksha is when you find a deep relief in life, from miseries, sorrows, cravings and aversions. 
- Sri Sri

A Misconception…
Some people consider the desire for liberation to be selfish and advocate a “fifth goal of life” by their prema (love for God) or nitya-lila (entrance into eternal pastimes of the Lord).

In Hindu religion, self realization (atma-gyana) is considered to be the best means to achieve Moksha. The Hindu Dharma preaches the path of Karma and Bhakti. Well, there can be different ways of achieving salvation. In totality, there are four paths of attaining liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth, namely, selfless work, self dissolving love, deep meditation and total discernment. Different schools of Hinduism attach importance to different paths. 
Bhakti teaches people self realization, by raising their conscience and making them aware of the power of God lying within them.

The Hindu religion teaches people the art of self dissolving love, which paves way for harmony. You are said to be deeply in love with God, when the depth of your love cannot be measured. At that point of time, you attain total bliss, as self realization dawns upon you.

When you meditate and try to concentrate on the God, the creator and preserver of this universe, your mind becomes empty. At that moment, there are no thoughts in your mind and you can only think of the almighty God. It directs your way towards attaining salvation. Another thing of prime importance that will straightaway connect you to God is service to mankind. Be sensitive, kind and compassionate towards other living beings.

There are believed to be four Yogas (disciplines) or margas (paths) for the attainment of moksha. These are: 

• Working for the Supreme (Karma Yoga) 
• Realizing the Supreme (Jnana Yoga)
• Meditating on the Supreme (Raja Yoga) 
• Serving the Supreme in loving devotion (Bhakti Yoga). 

Different schools of Hinduism place varying emphasis on one path or other, some of the most famous being thetantric and yogic practices developed in Hinduism.

In Buddhism 

The concept of liberation is Nirvana. It is referred to as "the highest happiness" and is the goal of the Theravada-Buddhist path, while in the Mahayana it is seen as a secondary effect of becoming a fully enlightened Buddha (Samyaksambuddha).

In Jainism

Moksa and nirvana are one and the same. When a soul (atman) achieves moksa, it is released from the cycle of births and deaths, and achieves its pure self. It then becomes asiddha (literally means one who has accomplished his ultimate objective). Attaining Moksa requires annihilation of all karmas, good and bad, because if karma is left, it must bear fruit.

In Sikhism

The Sikh concept of mukti (moksha) is essentially that of jivan mukti, the one attainable in one’s lifetime itself. Sikhism rejects the idea of considering renunciation as the vesture of a jivan mukta. Contrast with it, for example, the Jain view according to which “The liberated persons… have to lead a mendicant’s life, for, otherwise, they cannot keep themselves free from karma”

The ultimate mukti is a continuation of jivan mukti, going on after the shedding away of the corporeal frame to the final absorption into the One Absolute—the blending of light with Light (joti jot samana).

Some believe that moksha can be achieved by people only after death, others claim that it can be achieved even while they are alive :) :)
