my birthday gift
Ashtavakra Gita By Osho Talks about “free spirit”.The books on philosophy have always fascinated me beyond imagination. I find them carrying not only explicit truth about life, but are motivating enough at the times, when one feels like standing on the cross roads.
There is nothing more powerful an approach to life, as silence. Not only do i find it enriching, but it is something that helps me be in touch with myself.
Who am I? What is the purpose of my soul on this planet ? Is spirituality actually a reality or a term used by people which is paradoxical to today’s life. Human beings are so obsessed about making rules. If life is a discipline, then why do we have identity crisis with others and ourselves? These were some of the thoughts grappling my mind on my birthday. Which year? If you are interested, well, Every Year !!!.
Why do we have to restrict ourselves to a specific schedule for Meditation? Morning or Evening hours……. Meditation should be in all the actions. Why are the boundaries of this boundless energies limited to certain postures? Well while my mind was wrestling with all these thoughts, trying to find an answer about the myths and mists of life that a message flashed on my mobile….wishing me loads of fun ,faith and fire on my Birthday from a friend. Gaurav, is a young technocrat from U.S. Having spent few years in U.S, equipping himself with a good education and job, his professional achievements are seebing an alternate life, away from mobile messaging, e-mails, punch cards, targets. He is an engineer with a difference now. A course in Inner engineering by the Isha foundation has given a different dimension to his life. I wonder, how many more youngsters would understand the true essence of life or at least try to do so. Optimist or Pessimist, the goal of all the living souls is the same- Reaching the higher.Yes indeed!! Every soul on this earth is seeking!!!! What is spirituality all about? As my mind was in waves about this phenomenon, Anju, another friend called up to ask the significance of ‘puja by a pundit’. Bina’s life is bit better, Gargi, she said. There was a relief in her tone. Bina and her husband have been going through intense personality clashes, since the last two years. Bina, I am informed has gone to a pundit, who has some mystical powers. He has promised that for the next twenty days he is going to perform a ritual for her husband to make him understand her better. Bina would be able to “control” her husband, I am told.Does human mind have a control?? Listening to this wrong sense of perception, I wonder what is the deal like? Money leads to puja or puja leads to money.
Bina definitely finds a change in the behaviour of her spouse. The pundit has given her same ash to be mixed in the food to have better results.
What are we trying to control? Destiny, Karma. Is the sense of insecurity so strong that it attracts us to practices, which are an illussion.
Just wondering, why cannot we follow our intuitions and accept our life? Is it very hard to accept our failures. The agony of human mind is, it goes on seeking health or wealth, wine or divine.
