We Are Our Thoughts !
There is a tea shack under the big banyan tree . This dilapidated tea stall is just a place I like to be in !
The chai-walla ( tea stall owner ) is an old man who is the warmest person I have met . He knows most of us regulars and always greets us with such warm love .
Simple wooden tables , some rickety chairs and wooden benches are scattered around his stall . We sit around and feel at home !
The stall is a home away from home ! At the fringe of the city , in the country , towards the villages. I simple like everything about it's location and setting .
It is a no mans place yet belongs to all !
Villagers , city folks , rich and simple , old and young all feel comfortable and at home there .
While having tea , I always drift away into some far away dream world !
A world where we are connected in oneness , love , respect and value for all things big and small .
The fragrance of my thoughts from the dream world bring joy and a sense of contentment .
Thinking about the world I live in , I always start to ponder and reflect .
We live in a world of thoughts and feelings ! That is our true nature and form .
We have a character or personalty that is based on our thoughts and feelings !
We are a species of thoughts and feelings !
I will say that 80 - 90 % we are all about thoughts ! Non -physical in nature !
We look up to Nelson Mandela , Mahatma Gandhi , Mother Theresa , Abraham Lincoln
and all wise men not because they were physically attractive or the handsomest , pretty or beautiful ( they became all that with their noble characters anyway !! )
They were great because what they thought and expressed in their warm feelings !
They brought love , warmth , care and understanding that brought us together in Oneness !
They united us in a higher value that made us feel so much higher and better in our true sense .
All that is about thoughts and feelings !
There is a thought of love and a thought of hatred and fear .
There is a thought of love and oneness and a thought of violence and separation .
One thought expands and brings peace and joy to all . Another simply is painful and destructive .
All this is the world of thoughts and feelings .
That is who we really are !
A house of bricks and things is just that till love makes it into a warm home !
A physical human is just that until he/she becomes an expression of love !
Who is Nelson Mandela , Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Theresa to me ??!!
Nobody , until they become icons of the best we humans can be !
What makes us the best or worst ??!!
It is our thoughts ! How we think like we do and why ?!
We are Thinking beings !!
Let us be the best we can !
That is our reality !
That is all for now !
Take care .
Amar.
