~ After All...Its Life...~

The Complexities of life are simple…it is us who have made it uniquely complex to a phase where we can’t handle it…

Sit down a bit and go through the day – ponder how you start and plan your day…many a time you would have made big aspirational plans and achievements which you want to accomplish…just out of the blue…

As night falls and you get tired to the brim, you contemplate your whole living past 24 hours…what you had planned and what you actually realise or did… you will be flabbergasted many a time to see the variance in the results… That’s the summary of life in a day…!

Well, living over a considerable number of days in my life, what I have summarized…. Live situations as awareness….and accomplish them day by day...not grandeur plans…not big hopes and aspirations…Afterall , you were never here to accomplish BIG FAT things…but to remain happy and what all is needed to do it….it is not ONLY titles, money, power , fame but family time, health, a soothing tea cuppa, sitting idle watching nature, birds , flowers , street dogs, cats…they are all around you to make you realise…that .. when you would be gone and your time is up …it is just these fond memories which you will take along…your karma will accompany your soul to the next birth….Just remember You are who you are in this birth. Your titles , fame , accomplishments are here for this time not for eternity…

Life’s not that complex and complicated…we have made it to be…as we have to make a mount hill  first and then make efforts to achieve it throughout our life…. As I give a real life example of a man I know who is very fond of playing soccer and wants to accomplish a feat of hitting every goal for his team…. As we play, we finally give him a pass to just shoot at the nets…instead he takes the ball away from the goalpost and then tries to hit with a 45 Degree angle like Ronaldo only to be missed!!!!

That’s all what we do…. Life’s simplicity is not very complex… live it with all the resources you have…your family ,friends, acquaintances… animals …what not… and see for yourself your happiness quotient makes a tangible mark in your living… your face shines with all ear to ear smiles always and in all situation…as you now have started to live in tandem with nature’s laws and have correctly understood your presence as to who you really are and for what purpose and that is to be Happy…..!!!

~ The World We Live... ~

 We live in an uncertain world where everything is uncertain and ephemeral – your best of efforts may go in vain without any applause and recognition.

Anxiety is now inborn in our living – we are seldom calm and in comatose state of our living , fearful of our future and what lays ahead – so what is the problem that engulfs us which make our life pitiable? – it’s our overthinking! 

We create scenarios which in all likelihood would never happen – in all probability, we create demons in our heads and engulf ourselves in continuous negativity – to the extent that we take drastic decisions – even ending our lives!

Sit down with a calm mind and ponder over your past, what you thought and what happened … you would realise that more than 90% of the happenings didn’t happen as according to your thoughts – the amazing part of our cognitive mind is that we think worst for our future ..what if this doesn’t happen or what if that doesn’t materialize….

Quite inversely to this, we never are exceptional optimistic about our future outcomes…

We ration our positive thoughts but fill our cup till the brim for our negatives…that is nature of the mind. It pre-empts negative thoughts and creates a world around them.

Many of my friends who are at pinnacle of their career are facing bouts of anxiety and uncertainty – even after having achieved much, the level of fear and opaqueness of future takes them to bouts of anxiety – this is the cruel living of today – nothing is surely certain, alas it never was!

The only way to get out of this whirlpool is “Bhakti” and prayers and complete and a whole heart submission to God…as HE knows the best what is going to happen – though it seems a cliched thought but that is what has gratified me! Your best of the plans and efforts will go in vain and you remain clueless of its outcome – inversely, your half-hearted efforts reap stupendous results with all praise by your peers and bosses – that is the irony or rather funny part of life…We all have to live with it…

Just observing the people’s life around, you, you will see that it is all happening without one’s expectation and control…job losses, business failures, stock mart downturn , relationship failures, health standard declining…everything beyond one’s control.

But, once you sit and start to meditate on HIS form – whosoever you pray or whatever religion or sect you follow, immerse yourself in all unison – the peace and the calm that follows will give you eternal happiness and your zeal would be uplifted to do new and creative things – The adrenaline rush would turn you to be a go-getter and you will always feel “Someone” or “Some Power” or a “Guardian Angel”  guiding you and steering your life for a better purpose.

“Life is like this and would function in its own trails and travels and you have to adjust yourself with time…” – this noble advice about living life has ever been a staunch day to day philosophy and sooner or later many of you will fall in line with this idiom of wisdom…till then …Live Free…
