~ Who did it..~

For Centuries, the search for that mystical being is on, various civilizations have perished leaving their signs of what they perceived HIM to be, that unknown source is our fall-back buddy, especially when we get tired and cant get a reprieve from our day to day challenges whilst we seek our aspirations.

Do we really need HIM? and if yes for what? Just to materialize our demands every now and then or to just thank him for such beautiful life he gave us to see his creation. He manifested us in our thoughts – always remember you could have born into another family or for that matter in another life form i.e of an animal species but why you were born as a rational human with brains – answer to this question is out of reach for almost everyone and very few achieve that ultimate goal of life.

Here everyone is a seeker and is adjusting to life’s ever changing situations – We all have things to achieve and have huge demands and aspirations from that grand design -,once one target is done and dusted, we cling on to the another one – this cat and mouse game lasts till the very end of our living , in between comes the calling – “Who created this whole creation? And who is controlling it ?, why our best of the efforts don’t pay heed to our wants?” – These intriguing questions come to everyone’s mind as many a time in life things don’t go as according to our wish – It is then that we fall back on concept of Almighty – that supernatural force beyond our existence.

Religion comes in the picture and various scriptures and texts follow suit. Many of us have had the tinge of religious writings and stories which we might have read ourselves or have listen from our grandfather and Grandmother, the concept of GOD originated from the books which form the core philosophy of our Religion. Having gone through such scriptures or stories, our belief system got cemented and now we are ingrained in believing that GOD is someone who does ALL the happenings and mis-happenings of this world.

Whatever answers we are seeking or whatever accomplishments we need to conquer – after doing our bit, our final prayers are “God it is in your hands now…”? Just because most of the intriguing and complex questions of this universe and of our living are incomprehensible – we don’t find answers to their complexity – Scientists, the best brains and mostly who are atheist’s stop to a certain point of research beyond which they are not able to see compelling answers to their research – Who created the stars, galaxies and how come they are moving in a perfect harmony? How did life began on earth and how come so much water got formed?

For the spiritualists, the question becomes more intricate – who created the soul and where does it go after it leaves the body – scientists are still searching for the scientific proof of the spirit. When one leaves the body, what goes out that does not come back - though with the best of the medical brains and equipment around, you cannot make a dead man alive...There are zillions of questions with no straightforward answers – just assumptions, as beyond a certain point human mind does not comprehend for an absolute answer….

It is this mega fact that brings us to the proof that there is some perfect grand design working in tandem with the universe and controlling the situations and scenarios of life… be it ours or other animate or inanimate objects… so much of perfection and perfect placement of things around us cannot be done without someone creating it… after all everything cannot be a beautiful coincidence. and much of thought and belief resides in “God” …thus for many of us …the search is on… the lucky ones would find where he resides… be inside or at some distant place, the question remains so “Who did it?” … the search is on…

~ Just Write...~

Have you every thought of communicating with yourself and writing your thoughts on a piece of paper and revisiting those after a while... Just pen down the various vagaries of life you have gone through – obviously you can hide the no show events and the gross mistakes that you made in your earthly journey unless you are incisively honest like The Mahatma’s Autobiographical “My Experiments with Truth!”.

Because telling your story is essential to your close ones, of course, people around you will more or less live a life just like you, in many cases have the similar circumstances and rock up the same situations and struggles, happier moments that you have gone through.

As someone said Blessings come in many Disguises, this idiom is so true in your living – spearhead the events of your life with full throng – tell people what were your best achieved moments and what were not – where you faltered and where you achieved the triumphs – of
course making mistakes in between – the multitudes of life remain more or less the same for many of us.

Writing can be conversationalist, the thoughts churn from within – certainly there is another you in you whom so certainly you talk with just often! There are moments that you want to show to the world how you feel about this living – what have you achieve and what not – what have you observed and what according to you is right or wrong – writing is the power to broadcast to the universe of how you feel while you live – don’t succumb to the thoughtful injuries within, after all you are a human being and capable of taking plus and minuses of life at the same GO!

Write , for it is therapeutic and surely a stress buster – every time you don’t have anybody alongside but YOU yourself… talk and jot down the talking’s and see how beautiful you feel form inside… as they say that the best friend of you is ‘YOU’, then who else can describe your inner self via jotting down few words of how you feel – after all you are Destiny’s child – what if you are not a millionaire or insanely famous – you are human like them sans all the fame BUT with same level of feelings and emotions.

Writing can take you to that supreme level of thoughts and ecstasy to prove a point that there lived You in flesh and blood and that you thought the way your writings gesture – you live beyond your death and so is the case with famous men and women who live through their writings and the words they penned whilst they lived

Write for it is the most beautiful gesture and the gift you can give to your near and dear ones and to let them know how you thing about this grand design of life and situations around you –  how you thought of your family the unknown people  you might met only once and would never meet again – you can freeze the situations through the ink – after all , You have every right to “Write” for everything we do in this life demands a note…

~ A Contented Soul...~

Everyone has his own definition of God and living – and it is so ingrained in our subconscious mind that whatever we do, we are in constant conversation with our inner self, reacting to varied situations and believing that all is being done by HIM and that he is our doer – after all, this is the baseline of all the scriptures of various religions and decree.

Satinderji was no different, he is an autorickshaw driver and owns his prestige which he tells with humility but proudness, you can sense this oxymoron when you elongate your conversation with him. From a trip back from Himalayas, one is in a different perceptibility of Mind-Body-Spirit and his immense knowledge about the ‘Other World’ – one may feel at first percept that how can an Auto-wallah have such thoughts and wisdom of life and its living, but having chatted with him during my short stint with him made me change my thinking 360 degrees.

“Bhaaji, we all are descendants of that Supreme being and have thus come to this form of life to do our Karma and pay back in honour to his divine will – now that much materialism has occurred and everyone is running to be something in life, we have lost our track – our endless struggle to achieve the greatness of life has steered our path and that for sure has turned us in the wrong dimension that we are now living.” – Only a man with hardships and true test of time can exemplify this thought as him as most of them have no time to sit and beguile the goodness of what life has offered us.

Satinderji was certainly a man of interest and that he is on the road ( in this hot weather of Delhi) but still reminiscing his creator and also balancing his act of feeding his family and be a father, son, husband, brother – this certainly is not less feat in itself, especially when we see broken families and secluded parents left to fend for themselves – this is life of modernity that we have created for ourselves!

He also has a different perspective of life and death and about all the places of worship, for he thinks that HE resides in one own self – believe me, out of endless spiritual books that I have gone through, such wisdom comes after connecting with your inner self and acts of meditation and being in solitude, but Satinderji has learnt from life – for him Life on road is the best teacher, you meet so many people with different vicissitudes and problems – juggling and making ends meet – with different philosophies but at the end have one commonality – i.e. their belief in someone out there who created this chimera of life and death…. Just coming from a spiritual journey myself and still with the tinge of meditative stance, these words felt like pearls of wisdom from a man on the road – he was not much educated and had no standford or Hardward degrees but had the understanding of life – doing his Karma without much expectations.

As finally my short journey was going to end and it was time to pay him – I asked him two questions

“Satinderji , are you happy from life? To which he smilingly replied “Sab udi Marzi, jo who Chahey!” [Whatever is HIS WISH and whatever HE wants…]

The second question was “What is your expectation in life….?” To which he again smilingly replied… [ Koi Chah nahi hai …mein khush haan, mere toh vi neeche bade log ne…Bahut Shukurguzar haan udda [ I have no expectations from GOD, I am happy whatever he has given me , there are people much in struggle as I see them and I am thankful to HIM for whatever he has bestowed on me!]

The moment of truth had just arrived for me as I passed thinking about what I had conversed with a common man but certainly a very satisfying soul….!!!
