Need of Spirituality in the Current Society

              When i read daily news paper everyday we found the similar things like a new corruption issue or one continuation of some Scandal or some rape victim's interview or some criticism-article of one leader on the similar Scandal or Price-rise issue. These issues have become so familiar to the modern public that people started adopting these as very normal and robustly acceptable. The mentality of this kind of unacceptable acceptance of the descendants of those Aryas who used to live only on values, is really pathetic. But the utter ultimate strangeness comes when we still know these things are wrong and unsocial but still we keep on watching it without trying to obstruct these unsocial and unpolitical behavior by any means. I had a deep thought on this topic and tried to figure out what made us so motionless and inactive and passive to these issues? is this the missing spirituality in our mind ? or just a habit of seeing wrong deeds ? or some other?

               I found the answer is missing spirituality among the people.Spirituality is the most subtle dimensions of our awareness, where we sense ourselves belonging beyond our ego image to a larger, more valuable horizon of the reality that impinges on all we are and do. Yes, as a human being we still feel we are in a certain amount of progress all the time, for which we call this nation as a developing nation.But are we aware of the exact trajectory of the competitive development we are going through. I guess in most cases the answer is "No". We are sitting on a racing train which does not know whom to chase and where to overtake. How can we be ensure that we are progressing. Progress is a very fuzzy idea which most of the politician and leaders talk about on everyday basis. Their talk is based upon economical development, educational system change, urban development,sanitation, transportation and blah blah. But no body talks about after so many talks, so many plans and hopefully so many implementations still we are "A Developing Country" but not a "Developed one". Until when we keep on saying this,is there any target? is there any specific target we are following? and what is the reason we are not getting the required pace, what is the friction that is making the progress very much tired and restless. I remember the very familiar "Snail problem" in mathematics, if a snail goes up 3 meters a day and comes down "X" meters in the night when it will reach the top. In our case we are unable to find out the "X", is it less than 3 or more than it. The answer to our tired progress lies in the value of "X". In our case X is nothing but the function of (overwhelming corruption,rapid reduction of trust among political parties ,compromise of values and unawareness of the society and most importantly passiveness of the society to the above problems due to lack of enough spirituality).

                       Why i am stressing on spirituality? The reason is this society knows what is right and what is wrong, who is corrupt and who is not. but does not try to stop is unless some push.The moral values is so much low that it seems it will become starvation of salvation. Until and unless the society is raised to a higher level of moral values ,higher level of spiritual maturity,higher level of humanity people wont understand the legacy of their political right and they wont fight for it. So the real flaw of the system lies in the "lack of awareness and lack of a push to fight" which is achievable by a mass spiritual development. It might sound odd to achieve but not impossible by any means.

A midnight dream!

Alone we cry for no reason,
pat on my back or throw me off the cliff,
Pull my hair or slap on my face
have some time.. but to explain in brief

Say in the silence, act with a blink
Do not close the eyes, until i something do ink

Neither do i leave , nor you will sleep
i am not the onion!can't see you weep

trying to write the midnight dream
pondering goes on, shit i finished a ream..

Hands are tired and mind is blocked,
allow me in the space and leave the door unlocked

waiting since morning, will wait till night.
this used to be useless, not is it wrong, but is not the right!

Watch the TV Series....

          In the last two month i have watched and followed a lot many variety of English TV series not because of keen interest but because of need. Some of them are a specific idea centric , some of them are a character centric and some of them are just for fun. But with all due respect the related episodes have one thing in common, and its the shuffling of relationships in a continuous manner. Some has this occurrence in a single blow and some has this idea in a very residual manner. The very idea is not to summarize the seasons i saw but to focus on the very fact how the series places itself to a position which becomes an addiction to the followers. Actually this addiction which is nothing but an wastage/utilization of time made me think over this idea very keenly.

        In a character-centric series people expect the involvement of the character with a relationship more than required. And what happens is the relationship break or vanishes due to multiple reasons and actions and here the Story becomes nothing but the drag and drop of various scenarios which supports the up and down of that relationship. In an idea centric series what i saw the idea of the team and the opinion of the team members play a very crucial role for the run and success of the series. Because in general the flow of the series always depends not much on the idea but on the conflict of opinions , race for position and sometimes building and breaking of relations. Not to say here, its very difficult to judge unless and until you see a lot of series in a row :)

      But I am totally confused on the idea of the relationships in Hindi series and the English ones. Interestingly in general hindi series always keeps the important idea of making up the relationships of the Hero. But in the other way  around the same thing matters to a very less extent - as in the central character can sleep with any number of girls even he is married or in a relationship. But it is not even little awkward for the spectators. Not because they are used to this idea but because this generation starts accepting the flow which they see in the western culture. I never denied they do not appreciate the great indian culture but the difference is between the ideology and the fact! Which means respect the book but follow the trends. The bridge between the theoretical thought and the practical deeds is yet missing. Its not a mistake, but a fact that everybody has accepted to keep them with. 

            

             

         

Greatest things do not come So Simply..

           There is a saying when you are happy you listen to the music and when you are serious you actually make an ample effort to understand the lyrics, a precious creation of the poet. One day I was a little bit high and i listen to the famous creation of Pink Floyd " Coming back to life.. ". I could not believe how wonderful the creation was, how unique the thought of the composer and how realistic the music is when it comes inside. May be it wont happen for all  for all situations for all time.. it is not at all expected. but yes the synchronization of his bits and the music tells the level of highness of the piece.

          I started thinking at what point of time this unique creation may happen. Might be in deep sorrow, might be while chasing an unconventional dream, might be while feeling the loneliness while being together with someone, might be while emphasizing on the past that  was never truthful, might be while drinking to avoid the fact of an unfinished journey, might be while feeling quite disabled even if your organs are fine.. might be while smoking a piece of cigarette on the balcony imagining the failure of the flights to chase a bird.

Human nature is to think almost all possibilities of an outcome from all possible reasons and i am making a small effort to analyze the same.So many fantastic possibilities, so many uncomfortable situations..so many undesirable thoughts.. so many unwanted crazy times.. but one fine creation that makes the world feel great. Is the peace is the result of so many sacrifice, is the satisfaction a result of an fake encounter of some valuable past time, is the ecstasy the implication of dumping the old and appreciating the present. The idea is not to make puzzle of the poem, but to analyse the state of mind of the creater. :)

such Graceful..

           Here opens an unconscious library... to start with a random wizard...  random Questions and random Answers.. unexpected explanations and unproven arguments.. unimplemented facts and blissful lies.. speaking turns to listening and to fro. All happens just to enrich the graceful moments to an extent that teaches you to walk in air and never look down. the storm seems like a breeze, summer becomes autumn, water becomes irrelevant.. noise becomes music and you started loving Metallica when you used to close the doors when it was playing. Illusions makes you create a mystery.. some precious times makes you a poet.. some moments of joy makes your unwanted dreams very admirable. denial becomes insistence..your bike driving turns into a healthy-unending walk..a walk to remember! you bath with a handful of strawberry crush and you look obvious pinkish.. you heal each other.. you restore the grace.. you find grains to harvest your upcoming.. you prevail the rest and you advise the needy.. you gain confidence you deliver the quality. And the most importantly you start smiling every moments without reason without any external force. you feel you are generating a lot of pleasure and you are under photosynthesis... you have all reasons to live to like to love and to fly.. you become an embrace of ideas- an acceptor of words and advices.. 

And hopefully not.. a small twist and all boomed.. 

A Lesson from my dream

         After a very long time i had an afternoon nap today and came across a very dangerous and fearful dream and i was so much frightened with it i roared literally in my room. Three pink dressed girls killing me inside the lift very brutally on the first floor of my building. Think of the state of mind i had at that moment. And it is not usual that i have this kind of dreams very often. Again I have a very deep thought on how and why this happened with me suddenly with me. I don't want to describe the scenes of my dream but i can share what i need to do to avoid these situation. What I will write now may not be quite logical, but from some point of view I have experienced these. Everybody in the world has experienced the similar feeling at any point of time. And normally we ignore or let it go as we can not waste a ample amount of time on a thing that has a quite less chance of existence.

       Here is the idea..

       Each and every human being has two types of feeling. In one way they are "Confidence, love, inner strength, ecstasy, belief"- which shows a big amount of positive powers in it.  And some times we have some paralyzing states like "Confusion, depression, fear, sadness, anxiety and frustration" which in a way lead us to a powerless state. And every day to day life we interact with the physical world in various ways to face these very obvious emotions and we react subsequently to these, either actively or passively. And automatically the reaction becomes your behavior.  And in a long run the similar regular behavior becomes your attitude and nature for the 3rd person and perception for yourself. In simple language your own thought-feel-reaction becomes your own nature and perception. An example : You have anxiety in office for a very long period of time, then you become upset and inactive in your mindset for even longer period of time.. and that feeling defines your characteristic to the rest of the world. 

     what i feel we need to change..

      We will go to that point from where the emotions are really generated.Call it an Originating point or root cause. Most of the time we consider the root cause are some situations, some experience, some interaction , some discussions or some thoughts. I used to believe what i said just now. But for sometime forget these things and what can be the other things which actually affects your emotions and feeling directly? Many physical attributes affect our state of mind as well as our experiences, words, actions and even things like your diet. I believe some way or the other we can have a minor or major control over our mind by controlling such activities as below.

Breathing - Slow deep breathing does a lot of things for our health and delivers oxygen to the brain which ultimately changes the state of our brain.

Facial Expressions - if you are actually sad and you are still trying to smile.. there is a change that you will smile. But without it you will be inside a boredom from where it is difficult to be out. I got this idea from each and every person i met everyday. No offence some people really smile and make others smile and again smile. Ignoring the inner thought of that person we and he smile and we find a time where we become happy which is a positive attitude.

Energy - Whenever we have very higher level of energy level, we internally feel brave and confident. which directly affect your day to day life at the workplace and the other. And Normal energy level is enhanced by daily exercise ,yoga or therapy.I suggest never to ignore it. We always forget our physical body and mind are bound very closely with each other.

Diet - No need to explain the difference between a hungry  and full stomach :) And yes good and controlled diet always affects our mind. I have seen people discussing the food so interestingly after a very tasty food.( may be ice-cream, Halwa, ladoo,faluda,Paan etc..)

Body Posture - the way we sit while working, the way we walk to an interview, the way we give a hug, the way we shake our hands, the way we show interest to talk, the way we be involved are always part of the physical postures which directly affects your own state of mind as well as the 3rd person. Keep your head high and put your shoulders back , you can feel what i intend to.

Environment - The surrounding and friend circle  always have a great deal of impact on the state of one's mind and activity. So be sure about it, it may lead you to a place where you get heaven and may be to a place from where you cant return and you be in a temple of no doors. So yes environment matters more than we think.

There are a few more points i am still thinking of... will publish in the next one.. :)

Unavoidable Emotions :(

            It was a busy Monday afternoon. I was blessed with a small good news . After a very few moments I shared it to one my very close friends. And off course he becomes happy.. but after sometime he suddenly said "Don't unconditionally fall in love, do not get attached". I was totally shocked at this statement by a person who never had such type of obsession with unusual and undefined relationships. At that point of time my self formulated persuasion and words of assurance was quite obvious and intended to make him feel good. As I knew I could convince neither him nor myself. As a firm thinker i started thinking on this very unavoidable situations that come to our life even if we do not always want to face. 

       From my deep thinking i found the unconditional love usually happens with the parent-children relationship in a duplex manner.Obviously question can not be raised on the heavenly love our parents have towards us. There is no expectation.. there is no desire.. it is so peaceful. Secondly another instance of this behavior comes when you actually respect a person right from the core of your heart and he/she does not know about it. It is purely on way unconditional love. In this case there is expectation, there is spontaneous followups. But there is not at all any emissive intention. And there comes the rest where there is always conditional love which involves expectations. if these expectations are independent of three criteria like Acceptance, Understanding and Appreciation, we call it worship which is nothing but an example of "the Story of Mira bai". And usually the instance is not frequent but it is so beautiful and holy like the scene of the horizon of the sun-shining. The idea is not to judge the word "Love" but to speculate it on the basis of some real-unavoidable-constraints. Second thought is the attachment towards an undefined relationship. Every human being at some stage of life solely understands the meaning of "attachment" and vows to control it at some point of time. But As I see,for a normal human being it is not at all an easier task to block the emotion inside, but my personal perception is to let it flow naturally until you get something best or something worst.
