Walking on an endless road called “Life”

The road was getting constructed when my entire family was celebrating and expecting me to be out on this road for nine months. It’s been 8609 days I have been walking on this road (except the initial days where my family was walking on my behalf), a path which no one can guarantee where it would go, not even me and no one can in their lives. Don’t know what to call it; a highway, a lane, a road of just turns and twists or an illusion of a path to heaven (ultimately).
My childhood has just been a faded memory now and can’t recall much about it. Even though the world is with me (family, friends & my better half), I know I have to walk alone. We walk alone, so as we walk along the roads of our life, we experience many things. Life experiences, that will hopefully, make us stronger and wiser people - kind, generous, understanding, unselfish, forgiving, loving, and that what we do in our lives, we will leave something of value behind when we pass on and our life ends on this road we call life. I have felt great joy, love, peace, exhalation, satisfaction, and thankfulness. I have felt great sorrow, loss and betrayal, physical pain, spiritual pain of the heart and mind, anger, retribution, resentment, and sometimes even hate. I am a human being.
I sat in my balcony and felt the hot May winds, just sitting idle and nothing to do was getting over me, the wait was way too long for the next step and the patience word was just getting disappeared from the dictionary. Then I thought where am I headed to, is this the right path or is that the right path, should I give a listening hear to what other people have to say or just believe my heart and continue walking. Going back the memory lane I remember how passionate I was for the field that I work. Walking, falling, again walking sailed me through the industry, all I could face was challenges and more challenges and here I realized it was a highway; A fast lane where I could just see people passing by me at a great speed and I felt as an amateur driver. Days, weeks, months passed and I got onto this intellectual highway.
Going through this highway wasn’t easy as on its way there were lot of diversions, some going to other paths and some to dead ends. As driving with the world I ignored all these diversions and finally reached a lane where I had no other option but to either choose a right or a left. Standing alone at that diversion board on my head all I could see was people waiting there and choosing their paths. Still confused and a question to myself, Am I on the right path or is this a wrong highway???
Few time spent there and choosing a path got me to different places. I could see people rising high and on the other hand I could see someone just falling off like dry leafs. With moving ahead I faced the up hills which were difficult to climb, some paths were still not constructed completely and were difficult to cross. All I could feel was a wrong decision in choosing a path. To add on there were turns which made it all the more confusing in choosing a right path and here I was on a path of twists and turns. Life was just getting a living hell, where all I had was complaints about me, about others. But little things change a lot of your perception about life. Some great person said, “I had no shoes and I complained until I saw a person who had no legs”. All I could perceive is it’s not always what you get but we should be thankful of what we have.
Again falling, trembling and taking couple of twists I reached a lane which was so beautiful. Guess Life always gives you a break and unexpectedly takes you to a lane which is quiet, beautiful. Here I met my better half; someone who unexpectedly brought the best in me, my inner self. Now walking along with that person seems every path has something in store for me. Don’t know whether it was destiny or what, that I had to meet her and always keep my best foot forward. A strength to just move ahead, it’s something that can’t be described in words. (Wish I could describe her here but I need lot of words to do so).

Enlightenment is not about ‘never having a desire again’ but knowing how to fulfill it.Many people believe that Buddha said that ‘desire’ is root of pain and suffering – he never said that. For even desire of enlightenment and desire of no-desire is desire still. Instead he said “The unfulfilled desire is cause of pain and suffering.”
And sure we do agree; when what we want is not fulfilled the suffering begins.
Enlightenment is feeling which makes Jesus say, “Seek and you shall find.” It is beingness from which Krishna says, “All your desires rise from me and are fulfilled in me.” It is that knowing from which Buddha says, “Lotus grows in a pond of mud.” And it is same place from which Abraham says, “You are that which you call God.”
In nutshell, enlightenment is feeling which comes from knowing that which Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, God, Abraham, Ram, Nature, healers know. And if you will ask of me, “What is that they know? I want to know it too and be enlightened.” A question raised by someone,I answered, “If you are not ready to listen yet, then it will sound like most stupid thing to you, but if you are ready then it will make most sense to you.”
Enlightenment is not a degree that which once attained is yours forever. It is a state of mind constantly reached for.It’s a feeling that comes and goes but since you know way back home – you go there again.
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

“All you touch and all you see is all your Life will never be” - Pink Floyd.

We never comprehend the reality directly but come to know of it only as it appears to us filtered by our cognitive apparatus, postulated by German philosopher Immanuel Kant. Let me make it simple for you, here Kant means or I think relates to Advaita Vedanta in some sense.
All that you touch may not be real. At some extent World and its content is simple illusion. What happens when you give a thought that, your head banged on the wall??? First thing that you feel is the pain; second thing that you see is blood. But this is only if you banged your head. It’s just an illusion that is created in your mind that gives you more pain, a wrong illusion of self-pain. I would just like to go off this topic for some time, Do you feel the same illusion of self-pain when you think about someone else or someone you don’t know who you see sailing through or drowning in seas of hardships??? Well this question is just for yourself, no one cares what you think on this but what matters is do you want to give a thought on this (I know suddenly this question doesn’t fit in the topic, I am not a writer so please don’t expect a story telling thingie). It just rose in me and I was confused of the answer myself, so thought if someone else would answer it.
It entirely depends on how you presume things. Either you think the space is an extension of the world you live in or let’s go reverse; it might be a possibility that our world is an extension of space. The place I worked had mixtures of different minds working for a goal. But yeah I don’t know whether they were achieving personal goals or Company’s goal. Neither was I sure whether I am working towards my goal or a goal that my company was looking forward. It’s all about your way of thinking.
My Ancestors never saw this world during their time, neither could they think about it but still I am leaving in this Modern World, same way I can never see the world they lived in nor can I see the future of this place. My ancestors didn’t leave a fortune behind but they also didn’t leave debts and that matters more than anything.
As I said it’s the way you think!!! Let me give you one more example; Philosophy has no major effect or immediate effect on the majority of mankind, it only interests small numbers as for rest it’s beyond them. But in contradiction to philosophy, religion would have lot of followers it exerts its power over the strongest emotions of human beings.
“Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.”

Faded Memoirs .........!!!

As I look back over my childhood, I am struck by some postcards, ruined snapshots, faded posters which i can't recall. Dunno whether its 'coz of disguise or 'coz of truth that I can't accept.
Days, week, year, even ma childhood passed but everything is so faded . Did I wanted be like this, guess dunno that as well. Childhood friends passed like different seasons in the year, feels Global Warming acted early in my Life before even people could realize what Global Warming is !!! In school i learned about History, about those heroes but the question is, was i able to take MY history, the things that have passed, the falls from the mountains, the sky that was not visible ???
All I could recall is when my Life started when i was forced to see deep inside me and find myself, the soul had lost somewhere in me, but as the destiny blesses I was blessed with some soul mates who saw me finding myself and my identity.
Step by Step, constructing myself, walking with those souls, world seemed different. World, which is a common sea and has thunder storms, I felt like an island in it which was passing the extremes of the sea so it could create a beautiful thing in it. Years n Years passed and I feel strong when I look into myself, deep inside. Ready to face the extremes. But wouldn't have been possible if didn't have those visitors on the Island.

Not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced.....!!!

Step by Step......... !!!

It's all about taking a step n a step n a step to reach somewhere. The important factor here is the first step as it is decide that you not gonna stay where you are, there you a take your first step !!!

Remember, there is no elevator to success and even if you see one, its always gonna be Out of Order. There are stairs and for that you have to take steps one by one, carefully to reach where you wanna reach, Life behaves the same way.

The best things in Life - Love, Friendship, Opportunities all come but have to be handled step by step as Love would not last long if steps not taken to the others Heart, Friendship will never get strong if not cemented step by step, Opportunities will come and go but what matters is catching hold of the right ones and moving towards your goal step by step. Throughout the centuries there have been great men who have taken their first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but only with their vision towards their goal.

I see my path in front of me but can't figure out where it goes and where would it end. I have started my Journey and have already in for the first step. i know there will be lotta mountains in my path and all though it may not be seen from the valley of my vision but step by step towards the mountain,far from here I see my goal.

............Guess by this my mind has taken a next step already...........

The story has begun............I hope it never ends !!!

Life has never been as graceful as its now, it’s always that one thing can give life a chance to live brighter, same is the feeling that I am carrying around me. Everything is plotted as I have thought about, as if the block game in my mind which I was playing from a very long time is coming to reality. What eva work, the steps I wanted to take are right ahead of me and its just the right time am waiting for to take the next step. Someone has really gone in depth me to bring back the personality I had and has made me think about others before thinking of self. Friends, who are as per me the most important aspect of an individual’s life, have been around. But the important part is that, thousand cups of coffee or wine do not suffice when true friends meet, but half a sentence is too much when there is no meeting of minds.

The person I love probably will not be mine always (destiny decides) but it still gives me immense pleasure to make her happy as her gazed bright eyes makes me feel on top of this world and I realize that the love I have for her is pure with no expectations in return, what matters is she’s there with me with the same chemistry and one of my best person whom I always wanna be around with. Her smile reminds me of that innocent child who doesn’t care about the world and its pain; her gazes are like thousand stars shining together symbolizing peace and quietness, her physical appearance gives me a different strength and allows me to fight whatever I have in front, it’s like the Greek Goddess has granted me an aura of strength.

Its like the moon, million of people have a sight of it in the dark sky and adore its beauty, I can also look and adore her beauty but probably difficult to get those souls attached forever, it really doesn’t matter to me, till the time I look at her everyday and adore her beauty.

I have complete fate on destiny but really don’t know what it has in store for me; this gives me a chance to live as if I don’t have a tomorrow. You have only two options in this world; live by the rules the world has made for everyone, or make your own & live the way you want to.

It's easier said and done and I know am no different as life wasn't same few years back, where no one knew where am heading...Not even me !!!

Life...!!!

People say and crib that “Life Is Short”, I guess they need to come to reality and think that life is the only longer thing a person can have as everything else is over once you not there. It’s the only stretch a man keeps on walking at until HE (God) decides whether the journey is over.

One thing I do whenever I am in disgrace is I always stand in front of a mirror and try to look deep into myself ‘coz mirror always shows who you are, who you were and sometimes who you gonna be. It puts me across in the first category of people, as they say, there are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

People tend to give up when they think they gonna face failure, but why do you want to give up when you have been hanging on it from such a long time. Never give up on the thing that you have been always thinking and can’t spend a second of not thinking about it.

Life would never be the same as its now so live today as if there was no tomorrow. Never expect anything from anyone in return as it will give you ups and downs, only give love as it’s the only key to some ones heart.
