Choked by a Crab!!! « THE ROAD TO ETERNAL BLISS!

A ‘desire’ to quote it, just right!

Last week’s questions and discussions on the current spiritual scenario: On youth, desire and spirituality:

“Desire is the root of all evil. Ancient wisdom says, stay away from desire”

Now this line caught my notice which said, Desire is the root of all evil.

Desire is never evil. What you desire and the approach in which you desire might lead you to evil. The issue was uncomplicated and yet had lot of depth in it as the master’s quote read: “I may always desire more than I accomplish – Michelangelo”

So, now the person, who had laid this query to us, perceptibly did it with an intention to set off something in me. Probably a nerve which was tickling my funny bone or may be a nerve that held my tolerance level high.

In any way, I thought of jotting this down by asking the same question to few others in the last 24 hours in the Q n A session on – current spiritual scenario: On youth, desire and spirituality.

An overall gist of people’s response was like this:
• Desire, if you do not, there is no need to live.
• If you desire more than you can, you will always be unhappy.
• If I do not desire, then nothing in life I deserve.
• Divine and spirituality is for old and retired people.

Ok. So there was a slight repairing or oiling required may be.

This is for all our youth out there today, saying ‘another day, another dime earned.’

First of all, desiring something is the whole basis and idea for survival.

Reason, the person who asked me the question had no job putting this personal question before me. But he desired to do more than his job profile demanded. So he asked.

I desired more, to know what people had to say, even though I am going to jot down at the end and express my views on the same, because I desired the need to bond and get in touch with all of them and get into their minds. And at the end still hold the power to speak and express….. hey, it is my blog!

On a more serious note, I did it to know and feel their pulse on the same.

So when we take a look at a term like desire, we see that desire is nothing but convincing. Convincing others or yourself. But this time, convincing that, there could be more to life. Convincing that this is how it has to be or not to be.
Desire is why a society stays alive. Desire is why we have grown beyond a religious or spiritual round table conference and are able to do this online today. Because someone desired to do more than there was.

Now coming back to the divine part, Desire is never bad.

The holy books have always shown us the technique to get what we yearn for. Being spiritual does not mean giving up on worldly pleasures. It means understanding what the earliest knowledge has left for us to learn and be paramount in whatever we ‘desire’.

I have been born into a very religious family. But luckily I never followed or obeyed the customs nor was I asked to. I chose to follow them by choice. I am not religious, but definitely spiritual. It helps me concentrate better than I can, which is fantastic.
Believe it or not, religious customs and traditions are what gives us more discipline and focus in life. People tend to take it in the wrong way.

A person who reads and is able to understand the books of such immense knowledge, can accomplish whatever he or she wants out of life.

You want to be rich, you want to be a superhero, you want to have a castle, you want to get a Ph.d.?

It’s all in there.

But, you take it and drink it as a whole. Do not try to take the gist of it. You cannot just smell your food and say whether it is perfect. You have to taste it and eat it properly to know.

I feel hilarious when people say, spirituality means giving away worldly desires or when I hear that these things are for those who are old. I feel sorry for both of them. Not because they do not believe in it.

Each of us has a choice to lead a life that we want to live, as we ‘desire’ (no pun intended).

I know that those people are already brilliant and talented enough to such an extent, that these disciplines if they acquire, each of them could have what they desire or seek out of life faster than they would.

And like one of my management lessons quoted: ‘A dime earned today, is more than a dime earned tomorrow’. So let us build our passion with the words of the wise and use it in our foray.

And mind me; it is also not something that is gained over just five to10 years. It’s an on-going process. It’s like having an MBA and applying that to work for 10 years to become the CEO instead of just doing it with a bachelor’s for over 20 years and ending up being a manager at 60.

At the end of it all, it’s each one’s choice and each one’s way of life. But it is always good to know, that there is something out there for us that can help us reach our goal faster than we desire.

So desire with spiritual knowledge or self-realization is great. Is victory. Is success. So let us desire and stay alive, kicking and winning. There are no regrets when you desire and dream.

So let us Desire, Dream and De-stress!

Happy reading.

STRESS RELIEF!

Life is too beautiful and By god :

LIFE HAS A WAY OF BALANCING ITSELF

Trust me on the above. All get what they will but meantime to pass our time out here we need to live with an ATTITUDE. An attitude that will get you by anything and everything in life , which is made up of these factors , so easiest way to live up to YOUR EXPECTATIONS from life is follow them and I swear life is going to be more simple and beautiful.

All of us are here for a reason. All of us have a dream. We are here just for a minor period of time, so LIVE it such that you know you have made every moment count. We are Human beings, the most superior form of energy on earth and we Have HOPE to achieve all that we want to in life till we are breathing, so no man is a failure till he is forever gone. We cannot choose how , where and when we were born , we cannot choose when we will be gone but yes, we can choose how we will be remembered. IMPACT. Thats all that matters. What we did for ourselves and for others and how much have we influenced the world by our actions in the years to come that is our REAL FAME, Fortune and destiny. That what we finally leave behind is our LEGACY.

So, why get troubled with all the things that bother us in – between. Why stop and waste our UNBELIEVABLE precious TIME on those which have been said and done. The loss of a loved one, the loss of fame , fortune cause us so much pain… but JUST think about it. Do we not slowly realise that we have so much more we can offer and so much better we can do in this world after every bitter experience. Thus every act is a learning experience to teach us and prepare us for something that would actually be our REAL lives. And that for every individual on this planet is filled with mysteries to unveil. Do we not see people who have been living in rags suddenly turn to millionaires, people who have had bad relationships having a great life filled with LOADS of LOVE. So , that means OUR PORTION of success , love , fame is right there… just around the corner. Just wait a little while more and you will be there, with all that you have dreamed and desired of. Still, if you feel down you can go ahead and try these out. I am not a doctor, I am a poet , a preacher an animator and have been the teacher. I have lived through life like everyone with ups and downs and I have a major part of my life to Still LIVE and I am SO SURE i am going to make the best of it as I follow certain priNciples and rules in life which help me keep my mind free most of the time and guide me like an angel to the path of enlightenment.

The Rules :

9) Exercise / Yoga / Meditation : The best way to drive away any pain or depression i feel is to go out for a real early morning walk or jog or a run. The morning air is so fresh and if possible do this in a park where there are flowers and fresh smell of dew, mud, as it helps one to think fresh and you end up actually giving that much time for yourself and also be one with nature which has over the past centuries given us solutions for most of our troubles.

Yoga is arguably the easiest way to fight any illness – Obesity, body ache, acidity, and a heart ache. Yoga helps you to get back your concentration and frees your mind.

Meditation is another way of getting back to your regular life as when you actually do get back only then will you realise that there are so many who miss you and so many you miss, so much you need to do and so much that believe me – only you can get done.

Family / Friends / Doctor :

If you are close with ’’ ANY ’’ of your family members, JUST TALK to them. OR

Same as above with friends OR

go and talk to a professional who can help you out.

To consult a doctor for getting out of depression is like getting medication for fever as he knows how to deal with that and he will and has to give you a remedy and just like you would consult your family physician for your flu, you should consult a psychologist who has specialised in HUMAN BEHAVIOURAL PATTERNS to guide you through, after all… they too need to survive and they are good with what they do just like any other professional. SO at least you can go for their sake !

7) Freak Out, in a good way : Just Get out and be where you want to be. JUST BE FREE. DO all that you had wanted to do, attend parties, host parties, visit temples , roll over in beach, do it all and you will unknowingly get a huge load out of your system.

6) DIET: PAy more attention to your diet : 2 reasons : Firstly it would keep your mind fixed on your health and looks and you would not think about anything else and secondly lets face it : You will look better. That matters too right !

5) DO YOUR THING : Listen to great music if you enjoy that, PAINT if that gives you relief , workout … just do your thing. we all have something that we enjoy doing the most by ourselves , something that is very true to our identity. SO just do that and you might end up finding out some art or talent hidden in you that might just POP – UP. Art and music are the best ways to fight depression as both help you not only to concentrate on that talent but also bring out as in output something very beautiful and inspiring.

4) SPEND YOUR TIME : When you feel really depressed, give yourself the maximum time and do not ever think you are idling away. Giving your self some time alone with no things to discuss or talk or DEAL with any more might be all that you need at that point and by buying yourself some time you will be able to enjoy the smaller and more important things of life like the sound of the birds, the first ray of the sun, the starry sky…….

3) Know your dream ,desire and Purpose : Everyone has a goal a dream a desire and a purpose in life. we are not like pebbles or tress who just remain there , do their job of lying around or say give shelter and one day just fade off.

we have a higher goal in life. Realise that. Know what your real passion is as in LIFE, FRIENDS DONT OWE YOU AND FAMILIES DONT OWE YOU, NOBODY OWES NOBODY NOTHING. YOU OWE YOURSELF. The moment you realise that you know that you need to get back out there and do what you can do because only then will you do better than you could have done.

2) Live for the legacy : we have had loads of problems in our lives and its gonna be more but then again ,its going to get finally better. Did you not fall before you took your fist step or did you start hopping right from day one. You learnt it STEP BY STEP, fall after fall. So why hurry on life. You are growing up, not GROWN UP yet as you will never be grown up till your kid starts wearing your shoes and yelling at you for getting him / her a bad and not what I expected Birthday present. Then, know that life is good and you have made it worthwhile. So live for your legacy, your kids as they bring more happiness and laughter and hope finally than anybody else on this wide and big and crazy planet.

1 : SO live with passion, not hope as there is always hope for all, but passion is whats going to get you out of everything thats holding you back and get you that one word in full positivity : IMPACT.

SO read more, learn more from life, preach more and teach more as the more you give and share the more you finally get for yourself to spare.

Remember :

Nobody will remember you for what you were, or what you will be. The only thing thats going to matter is the one question that you should be able to answer to yourself finally:

’’ DID YOU BECOME ALL THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BECOMING ’’ and if NOT… THEN DONT TRY BUT WORK ON IT TILL YOU BECOME AS ALL THOSE WHO DID WERE JUST LIKE YOU….. BORN FROM THE SAME MUD AND GO BACK TO THE SAME MUD, SO FOR THE TIMID THINGS IN – BETWEEN – ’’ WHY BOTHER AT ALL – JUST LIVE IT UP AND BE WELL
