Cleaning

In our journey when we choose light we have to get away from darkness.

We have to clean each and each corner. More you clean, more light enters. More light enters, more garbage comes up.

This hurts. But remember this hurt is a signal, indicating the need of cleaning.

Every time something hurts you, try to recognize what you have to clean. Is that Ego, Fear, Lust, Desire, etc. etc. etc.

Whatever, clean it !

“Bow, Arrow and Target”

Do you read ‘Alchemist ‘ by Paulo Coelho. It’s a magical book ! I say magical because in that book many things are unrealistic.

For example : You see this wall. But this is not wall. You can touch it. But that is not real. If you believe this you can go through it !

Some years back I read this. I couldn’t understand a word. How can we go through the wall just by believing ? How can law of science can be ignored ? But that only Paulo is saying, “Believe ” and you can ! XXX I really don’t understand.

Each time when I read Paulo’s book I experience same. He always writes mysterious things which never fit in logic. Fairy tales also has magical things but Paulo writes beyond that. I stressed my brain. Try to find out, what is this ? But failed. Many times it turned into frustration. Why can’t I understand this ???

Another example is of ‘bow, arrow and target’.

In my childhood I read a story of Arjun from Mahabharat. It is about the lesson of concentration. When Arjun’s Guru (Teacher) Dronacharya asked all pupils, what they can see ? Many said many things. They can see tree, sky, birds, leafs and wooden parrot (that was target ) . Only Arjun said that he can see only parrot’s eye. Dronacharya get pleased with his answer and allow him to shoot.

I can understand this. Concentration on the target. We can do this. But Paulo says bow, arrow and target should become one. Ok, next level of concentration; can try to understand. Full concentration. Paulo puts concentration on next level. He says bow, arrow, target & you should become one. What’s this ? I couldn’t understand. How can it be possible ? I just laughed. Laughing is better than frustrating !

After some years I was in dance class. I was enjoying. Full concentration on steps. Then slowly something started, I don’t have to think about steps. That were done automatically. Rhythm and steps were synchronising. And I am part of that. There is no other things. Nothing. No realization of time, space. Nothing ! Now I was not enjoying. I was experiencing Joy ! No, . . . . . I become Joy. Because now Dance & I are not two things. There is oneness !

And I realised what is bow, arrow, target & you becoming one !

I take another Paulo’s book. Again same experience. Many magical things which you can not understand. But now I don’t get frustrated neither I laugh. I make a wish, someday I will be able to understand this.

Love you Paulo !

Beauty Standards

I was watching my favourite reality show. That day’s the guest was world famous personality. Host welcomes him. Show continues in its style. All are enjoying. At one point the guest says that his girlfriend is here in the audience. Camera shows her close-up. A young lady with very nice smile. The guest tells that she is a beauty contest winner of their country. Camera shows close-up of host. He is just starting at her. He doesn’t comment. Nothing. Show continues with the guest.

I was surprised by the behaviour of that host. The host was famous for flirting with female guests and praising their beauty. Off course all that is script of the show. Nothing personal. But he can’t say a word for that Beauty Queen. Why ? She was from totally different race. Her physical features were not matching with his cultural concepts of Beauty. His brain can’t accept her as beautiful. His brain can’t find any word to praise her. He couldn’t even follow the formality of greeting her. Nothing. I feel sorry for him. One of the most talented anchor – actor behave as a very ordinary person.

Remember the famous story of Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. Other ducklings tease him as ugly. He develops complex and floats lonely. Become depressed until he discovers that he is a Swan ! In childhood I felt that Swan baby looks ugly. That’s why other ducklings tease him as ugly. But that is not the reality. All the ducklings look same. And Swan baby didn’t look like duckling. He looks different. Because he is a Swan. That’s all ! But ducklings don’t understand this. They think as he doesn’t look like them he is Ugly.

Off course animals and birds did not think. And that’s good ! We, human beings can think. And what’s good in that ? If you can’t understand the Different . If we can’t accept the variations of nature.

Animal can show love for other species. We all grow up by hearing the story of cuckoo lay eggs in crow’s nest. And crow nourishes cuckoo’s babies with her babies. There are many real stories of caring and friendship between different species animals. Animals are learning to adjust their surroundings. In your house Dog and Cat can be friends. Cat and Bird can be friends. I saw a video where Mouse and Cat were eating in same pot !

And we human beings considers ourselves as highly intelligent in all species of this planet, can’t even understand the meaning of Different.

We are living in cosmopolitan world. People from different parts of the world travel, take jobs, settle down in different parts of the world. We are becoming used to meet people of different community, language, race, culture. When we will learn to respect the Different ?

All the hatred, fights, wars comes from intolerance. Not accepting the Different.

Think . . .

Accept . . .

Love !

Here I am reposting some of my another blog’s posts. That time, 4 years ago things were not working well and I stop writing. If you are one of those fewwwwer readers you might feel like you had read this earlier. So, it’s me !

Height of Good Karma

Some persons have larger than life image. Ordinary people don’t dare to talk bad about them. And when authority people say bad things about them; ordinary people don’t believe that.

Authority people try to erase memories of these great personalities. But Common people continue remember them in their hearts.

Authority people remove these great persons from history books. But ordinary people keep them live in their stories.

These great personalities can found in every culture.

How much authority people tried, common people continue to love these great personalities.

These great personalities have piles of good karma which is so huge that darkness couldn’t reach that height !
