Just Before The Dawn..

All human beings have the essential urge to help the society and make a mark in the world before leaving. I believe we evolve through helping the community. Serving others as they try to move up the ladder of life, helps us ascend on our path towards the god.

Somewhere while I was trying to be kind and trying to help the society, I realized how messed up I am.. It was very depressing to know that the beggars living on the road were at a better liberty than me! All they wanted was some food, clothes. The whole world is their home! They are fearless.. Life is life for them. They just live and someday they just die.. I am not judging their importance or not even I am declaring that they are not a significant part of the community. I am not even sure if they have dreams and desires or not! These are just my assumptions that I have arrived at only in an attempt to find a better way to live my own life.. All I want to say is I wish I could do the same.. Simply live and then someday.. just die! No worries. No dreams. No regrets. No desires to achieve anything! Live. Die.

I think life depicts itself through the people who own nothing. People who simply live for today. Life reveals itself through nothing. Life follows acceptance of being.. just being.

Nobody has yet understood what life is. But everyone is constantly making efforts to make it better!

We all are super busy shaping up our lives, becoming something and making things better. Every day we solve one more problem and every day brings with it another challenge. That is what is life for us.. for me as well..! So again I ask myself.. is this not just the way of living life? Yes, it is! But eventually we feel something is missing. Sometimes wealth, sometimes love, sometimes enthusiasm.. but some or the other thing is always missing .. and the chase is never over.. is it ever going to get over?? And how!?? Because, if all of us stop chasing “whatever” we are looking for, the world will stop moving.

In search of the answers, we read books on healing life, read texts on all life related philosophies, watch videos on YouTube, attend art of living sessions or do meditations and yoga! One thing still keeps on revolving around you and your mind will still be confused and ask repetitively “WHY?”! You know you are doing everything right! The secret has been revealed to you and you are following it the exact way. You feel positive, you think positive, you also have faith in the god. I am sure you also must be expressing enough gratitude! You have attracted the best job, a lot of wealth, perfect life partner.. and still “it” is missing!

A familiar voice then says “Just close your eyes and keep finding your way through the darkness. Be assured that you are never reaching the destination. You cannot reach a place that does not exist. But keep walking..”

Words

There is a world Beyond imagination

Made up of words

There is another existance

Living around

In the pages made of the words

These words hold my hand

Drag me along as they flow!

I dive on the wave of the emotions..

Emotions I didn't even know!!

I walk in that world to find myself. .

Forgetting the real me..

I bother not come back

Cause there my soul and my mind is free!

I make friends there.. I relate to them..

I fall in love with all and they don't even know my name..!

In the world made of words

I follow my heart .. I say what my heart desires!

Words are healing.. they calm me down..

Just like a powerful elixir. .!!

The tangled words are artists!

They put my confusion on trial!!

When I speak them out..

I see a picture of me so clear..

Those words have an ancient school..

That teaches how to live..

they make me wise .. they make me better. .

I am glad that's all they have to give!!

when I start living there..

Far from the distance I see you waiting

Then I have to come back.. I have to come back...

Leaving all the words behind. .

The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times..

I will fall apart

When i am tired of being strong

Come to me along with all your strength

To prove my weakness wrong

So I tried not to shed a tear

I fought so hard to kill the fear

I am not left with any strength

That I cannot see you nor can i hear

Fear creeps in now.. Makes me cry

Once again I will fall

Then get up & stand tall

The pain will seem to be so small

I will grow grow up, I will grow up

Once more to fall!!

Freedom!

God gave him a bag full of freedom and said, “Now is the time to live life!” To enter this world, he chose the moment in which lovers meet each other and their love sets them free. He believed life is fusion of act and freedom.

When he opened his eyes he came across men following rituals religiously. He saw smothered desires of their hearts like a caged bird. He saw people trapped in relations that did not set them free but tied them to some illusion that they called to be their duties and responsibilities. He saw people being punished for following their hearts. He saw minds confined to the man-made ideas of right and wrong. Nobody ever spoke about freedom! They had meanwhile forgotten about the bag full of freedom! Freedom which they owned but did not have! Freedom that they wanted but could not have!

God has given us free will. He gave us liberty to choose our own way to live life. The only duty that we have is to be grateful to the god and only responsibility we have is to feed our soul. Doing good for others will make the world a better place. It will make us happy. But that is not exactly same as independence that our soul desires. That is just a substitute to nurture the soul. So at the outset lets do well for ourselves. Be free.

Let the only religion we follow be individuality blended with love and freedom. Let the choked desires till now be our purpose from now.

Life is bridging gap between freedom that we own and freedom that we have! Freedom is the food of soul! There is no life if the soul is not nourished!

Let the magic happen now! In this very moment pick up your bag full of freedom. Set yourself free. Only then you will fall in love with everything around. And then you will be free forever! That’s the power of love!! That’s the power of freedom!!

“No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it” – Paulo Coelho

Culture

In the process of evolution all the beings, lives and theories about living seem to be getting superior and powerful in their own reality. Notions that did not change with time have deceased. Few are blemished. And the worst of all, we are still trying the preserve what is already perished!

“Culture”, an ordinarily used word to describe predefined and well accepted characteristics and expected behavioral outlines of a particular community or a society.  Culture differentiates men from others based on religion, place, language, arts etc. In modern days culture belongs to beings. Where they go, they take their culture along with them!

The term "culture," is originally derived from Latin word “cultura”, meaning “cultivation”. Cultural means cultivation of the soul or mind. Culture is cultivation of free will and individuality under all the circumstances and in all the places with different surroundings that do not deviate from their inherent nature. It is beyond rigidity and detachment. Culture is to promote unlimited potential of man to grow. It is to create right environment for man to evolve. It is to set a way of life which every religion speaks of. It is not the same as social behavior.

Today, culture is perceived to describe behavior of individual in the community and not the free individuality. An individual is said to have deviated from his or her culture when he is living as an individual with free will without following man-made restrictions. The idea of wrongdoings has impaired the real culture which speaks about being authentic self and expressing true human emotions. The depth of human culture has been overwritten by the shallow myths created. It is mistaken for social behavior which is a narrow and over trafficked lane on which no human beings should be walking anymore.

But that is our culture nowadays. Unlimited limitations without any restrictions and free will to follow rules! Trying to fit into a society and familiar environment and striving to be different! Adapting to the old beliefs because they say the new ones are evil!

It would be incorrect of me to say that the culture has lost its meaning because I have my own culture. Culture that allows me to be myself and look beyond the limitations they have set for me, Culture that appreciates exploring free will and fulfilling my inner desire, Culture to which I belong that is beyond place, religion and language, Culture that says reality is just a myth and life is a dream!

So he asked.. “Why can’t we remain unaffected by our surroundings? What do we have to do to be indifferent to them? They hurt a lot! They make us lose our focus! Why not make yourself so strong that nothing in this world can shake you! Nothing can dare break you! We always remain calm and work towards the goal we have set for the day and never feel sad or low!?!”

Yes! That will happen.. Soon.. That moment is just around the corner…

The moment when you are dead!

They say there is nothing beyond life. On the other side of life you can’t feel because we all are one. So soon you will be indifferent! You will not be affected by surroundings! You will only be dead!

What’s the point in being indifferent if you can’t feel the pain of missing that one thing you want the most! Indifference will never let you work towards it!

Let me tell you, you will not hear the music that calms your nerves. You will not feel the touch of your own. The poem will lose it soul. Romance will starve. Ha-ha! You will not be scared of death because you are already dead!

Numbness is not as resilient as the zeal that will lead you to venture on the road not travelled on at all!

You still want to remain unaffected?? Go ahead..

You will not be affected! and soon there will be no creativity to express your indifference! Lack of creativity will kill the love for solitude and soon you will be again affected by the indifference!

When the flowing river receives affectionate invitation from the ocean that knows abundance it cannot remain indifferent! If river is indifferent the ocean will soon die.. River keeps falling till the time it reaches the ocean.. Rocks roll her way giving her a rough ride and she makes them only her companions but only till the time she meets the ocean. Without them she will reach before time. But she will not be as clear as she must be to know the sanctity of being affected by the surroundings. Rocks won’t make the best of their existence if they distance themselves and do not accompany the river..

They all go through ups and down.. and they are not unaffected!

They have accepted!

They now know the secret of happiness is hidden in the core of sadness which is indifferent from happiness! They create life only when they fall for each other!

Be..

The real problem starts when we try to become. We want what we don’t have. We want to become what we are not. Exactly that’s the same feeling and force that drives us to become a better person and make our life better. We see around, we fall in love with things and people. We desire. We start becoming compatible to possess them. We try to become someone who can have them. And then we forget what we are. We stop being as start becoming.

We are all fighting to become someone. To reach somewhere. I don’t know where we all are headed to but that destination better be worth. We have lost best buddies cause we were becoming! We have had worst heart breaks cause we were becoming! Worst pain has resided inside us when we were becoming. And we are still not sure what we are, who we are, why we are here! We are confused about many things! Cause we are still becoming!

Let’s wait for the day when our heart will be.. it will just be..

There will be peace when our feelings will be.. they will just be.. and we won’t try to make them become that they are not!

There will be abundance when we will know that every single thing in this universe is just going to be..

We will live when we will know that there is not time.. time is just an illusion. Death is just around the corner. There is not time to become.. so just be..

We will be in love forever when we learn that love simply is.. Love is not a thing to possess. Love is not a feeling. It is not commitment. Love is you. Love simply is. And love will be.
