More Thoughts on Thoughts and Awakening !

More Thoughts on Thoughts and Awakening !

Yesterday , My blog was that there is no one really known as Amarjit !
It was like giving a big jolt or simply dropping the concept , idea or belief from a height !
Sometimes a big shock is all that one needs !
Such shocks are useful , as they wake us from our sleep !

Let me try , or attempt to express my point .
Take a group of people . Can be a family , business group , nation or a religious group .
All is going fine . Things are looking very good . Everything is just wonderful .
Then , suddenly , out of the blue , most unexpectedly , the key person or leader dies !
All are left shocked ! Feeling lost , empty and not knowing or understanding what to do !
In the midst of a peaceful good life and living , you are now shocked and lost !
That is a real shock ! Nothing makes sense ! Nothing can be comprehended !
Have you not experienced such moments in our life ?!

That is a real shock ! We are really shaken and woken !
Life makes no sense now ! We grief and feel hopeless for sometime !
Then , slowly we come to terms with death and sort of accept it and move on !
Do we really know what happened ?! Do we really know that we are going to go too !
Do we wonder or start to wonder what is all this life and living ?!
Almost , always NO !
After an initial shock , we just pretend that is okay and move on !

The founder of Buddhism , Gautama Buddha , got such a shock early in his life !
He saw that all life and living is only a temporary passing show !
He , being a royalty was protected from the harsh reality for quite some time .
When he saw that we all are ever



changing , growing and finally going he was shocked !
Sometimes we get ill or sick ! Other times we get old and then finally we ALL die !!
That shock was enough for him to leave everything behind and go searching or thinking about our life!
All life is ever changing , temporary and will pass away !!

What does it mean ?! 
Do you want to go on pretending and living such a strange , deluded and illusive life ??!!
If you are happy , enjoying and feel is is okay , then please go ahead and just ignore my writings !
They are not for you . It may actually appear crazy and writings of some weird nutter !
I am quite happy to have any labels given to me ! I have lived long enough now to enjoy them !!

If , you think or feel my writings are meaningful , then they are meaningful and action must be taken now !
Get real ! Keep living and enjoying what ever you are doing , but , start to or just get up !!
This will do for now .
Take care .
You are welcomed to comment , express or say whatever you wish ?!
Enjoy. Love.
Amar.
