Seeking Redemption !

What is right or wrong ? Who decides what is right and what is wrong ? Can our actions be objectively classified or is it subjective ? Can we afford to create a world where everybody is either Black or White and we sit and pass judgement on their morality ! Is it feasable ? Isnt it claustrophobic and suffocating and an attempt to curtail the mind which knows no bounds , our ability to learn - experiment with truths .

There is no right or wrong in this world . Barring a miniscule percentage of the people ( who are really abd i.e dont posses a conscience ) everything one does is circumstantial . We are the way we are because of our upbringing , our circumstances , what we have faced in life or what we will face in future - which is different for everyone . Then how can we justify a common code of conduct ???

All human beings are shades of grey with their own set of faults and weaknesses . But they do have something else too - A conscience . It is this conscience that tells us what is right and what is wrong . It is our own judge ! It forces us to seek redemption at some point in time - when ? cannot be answered - cause time is dimentionless !

HAPPINESS AND EXTERNALITIES !!

Many times I have wondered .. why do we feel let down .. by situations, by people - friends , relatives , parents , siblings , spouse ... Is it not expectations ... our dependance on externalities ..on others... is it sustainable .. although I have lived mere 26 years of my life ( which might be less than a second's worth in the expanse of the universe and the dimenations of time and space) yet I feel that whatever I have experienced has taught me one thing .. that HAPPINESS is internal ...Why should we be dependant on anyone else for our happiness ,, will it not lead to anething else but disillusionment .. OUR expectations like our desires are always insatiable and hence will always lead to conflict within because whtever is done will never be enough . SO what is wrong ..its our orientation - Happiness and sadness are a state of mind ... How GOOD or bad life is is how u look at it ...there are no gaurantees in life and rather than seeking gaurantees one should treat everything as a learning experience and move on taking it as God's will - neither being happy nor sad .

BEing Judgemenatal are U ?

A poem I really like a lot - but liking is just not enough one needs to emulate too (trying my best )..its like appreciating without putting in any effort ....its is like stagnation !!

JUDGE NOT ........

Pray , do not find fault with the person

who limps or stumbles along the road

unless you have worn the shoes he / she wears

or struggled beneath his / her load.

Dont sneer at the person who is down today

unless you have felt the blow

that caused his/her fall or felt the shame

only the fallen know .

Dont be harsh with the person who sins

or pelt him / her with word or stone

unless your sure , yes, doubly sure

that you have no sins of your own .

A stangant existence - a curse !

Anething in life is better than stagnation ... to keep on doing something anething ... however useless and meaniless it may seem to my unfruitul existence on this planet is better than stagnation .. its is like dearth of living ... its is worse than death ... ofcourse the best way to avoid stagnation is to constantly innovate urself... to learn ,to expand ur knowledge as well as horizons .. to live as many times in a day and in as diverse a way as possible ... to live all ur dreams in the form of hobbies .. that may range from hoping to be a writer / philosopher ( however amatuerish ...my immature attempt at blogspot is a realisation of that dream / hobby )....to being able to paraglide or better being a jockey ...in a horse race... !!!

a state of mind

What can i deny myself when nothing was ever mine !!!

Just now i was chattin wid a good frd..he raised a question ...he always does ( these help us think and introspect and hence learn which is wht life is all abt )...talkin abt my ambitions and drive he made a statement ..he said shruti dont use work as a means of denial..denial in thoughts ..denial in the perspective of what happiness really is....I asked him wht is happiness ,,, life in itself and happiness in particular are too transient to be given too much importance certainly not greater than the replenishment of the soul....

the question still lingers....and new ones arise every minute ..what is the reason for my existence .. eating , sleeping , working ,,partyin ..no tht cant be IT . my soul is always wondering searchin for an answer .. someday i will find the answers is my belief ... all / some i dont know ..

Atlast my dear friend sees my point of view somewhat ..he says time and space are illusive entities, it is the thought which pervades and prevails.. ours thoughts ..the level of consciousness which we attain in dis birth ..in this journey called life ..can never be destroyed .. dey will stay wid us ..forever .. beyond time and space ..beyond boundaries ,,real and unreal .. so my frd think .. think and introspect ... be a thinker not just a doer ,.. whu does for the sake of doin ...without questionin WHY ???

Delusion or Reality ??

Another day has gone by . A meaningless struggle against the forces of nature . What have I achieved ? Everyday brings me closer to my greater purpose in life ! Am I fooling myself ? Maybe . But it gets me through the day . Makes me want to live this life thrust upon me without permission .
