Who or How do We Judge Anything In Life ?

Who or How We Cannot Judge Anything In Life ?

Judgement seems so natural to us in life .
We so easily  go about throwing our judgement at everything as though we know the whole story or the truth or reality .
In a complex system where there is no beginning or end , how can we judge ?
We all assume that we know and go about passing our opinion , advice or judgement .
What is happening now and what is going to happen in the next moment is not known to anyone .
If we can understand this mystery , we will be so much more peaceful , loving and gentle .
Life will become so much more pleasant !
Life is a hugely complex system where everything in interconnected in so many ways that it is not easy for us to comprehend .
Here is a short stories to illustrate my point :
1. A wise men who was a prime minister in an ancient court always expressed that whatever is happening in life is happening for the better . The king used to get annoyed and irritable.
This went on for some time .
One day the king accidentally cut his finger while sharping his arrow heads . He asked the minister if that was also for the better ? The prime minister replied that it was indeed for the better !
The king got very upset and called his guards to place the prime minister in prison . He , again asked the PM if that was good too ? The PM replied that that too was good.
The next day the king was going for a hunt into the forest. He went with his other friends and soldiers . While deep in the forest , the king got lost. While walking about and searching he was alone as he got separated from the rest of his people . In the same forest , there lived this wild cannibals who were also hunting for someone to eat. They managed to trap and catch the king. They had no idea of his kingly status nor were they bothered. Further , the king looked so juicy and well built. The cannibals were over joyed with their luck. They brought him to their village to cook and eat him .
However , before doing that , their medicine man always inspected the victim to see that it was worthy for their eating. The medicine man inspected the king and found that his finger tip was missing due to the cut he sustained while sharping his arrow heads. Immediately , the medicine man  told his people that the gods will not be happy with their catch as his body is not whole . They realised the king back! He was so relieved and joyed with his good fortune and the missing tip of the little finger.
He saw how he was saved because of that . He found his way to his palace and rushed to meet his wise prime minister . Getting him out of the prison he apologise and asked his PM how did he benefit from this incident ? The wise PM told the king that not for he being imprisoned , he would be eaten today as he was whole ! Then the king realised the wisdom of his wise PM .
This simple story illustrates how every event is interconnected and linked .
There are no isolated events in our life and Universe.
At some level we are all interlinked and connected.
We must understand the Oneness of all things . We are judging from a very limited and narrow perspective . We have no idea of the big picture .
When we can become aware of this reality or truth , we can accept everything happily .
Everything is unfolding for the better!
This vast Infinite Universe is always unfolding and expressing for the better .
Life and the Universe are One ! There is no separation . We have created such a belief and now are struggling in our separatedness .
Let go of the illusion of separation and enjoy the endless blessings of One and All .
Take care. Love . Amar.


Think Inclusive ! Don't Exclude Anything !

Think Inclusive ! Don't Exclude Anything !

There are 2 ways to be peaceful and contented .
Either I am all that is and nothing is excluded ! I Am complete ! So , there is nothing excluded and all is within me !
I am nothing ! Nothing belongs to me ! So , everything is here for me to use , enjoy and then just let go ! Even , my very body is given to me for my use !I am completely nothing !
Any other situation inbetween is going to create a sense of incompleteness ! A sense of lack !
Just watch around and you will see the great drama of struggling and atempting to complete our lack !
It can never ever be completed !! 
We are living in an infinite Universe !
All these sense of completeness or incompleteness are mental states ! Thoughts and feelings .
Have you seen that most people are always wanting more and more of this or that !
There is always a sense of lacking something or another !
Where is the lack ?!
Is it real or just imagination or thoughts ?
Which ever way you look at it , it does not matter !
The end is the same !
Struggle and do all sorts of games to create business empires , make billions , political power bases and other methods of reality games , only to leave them in mid way , as we pass on else where !
Don't get me wrong ! I am no Domesday coward ! Go for what please you , but, just keep remembering that nothing is going to go with you ! not even your own body !
Enjoy life to its max.
Take care.
Love. Amar.



Living life and loving it !

Living Life and Loving it !

I was just sitting and looking at the wall . The old paint work was fading and crumpling .
As I just stared at the wall , I could see faces emerging out of thin air !
My clever mind was creatively creating images infront of my eyes .
I am sure many of you have experienced what I am sharing .
At other times , as I am having a drink or eating , suddenly I am having a flash back of some past experience . Nothing very important or significant actual . Some scence that I lived some 30 or 40 years ago ! 
Many such very ordinary things fascinate me and keep me wondering or thinking .
At other times , out of no where , I feel very joyful , happy and blissful ! I have no idea why ?
It was as though some divine grace was just pouring from some paradise !
Life itself is just awesome and fascinating .
Just being aware of the many things that are always happening within me and with me .
My body is not just living , but it has it's own mind too !
Calling it my body too is not really that correct .
I don't have much control over it .
I am enjoying just being alife.
Getting up , moving my arms and legs , walking , running and doing endless activities are just awesome . Smelling , hearing ,  tasting and seeing are just so magical .
As most people have taken all this magical senses for granted , they have completely forgotten to appreciate them .
I am just enjoying being .
This beautiful feeling of being empty of purpose , drive to achieve is slowly fading away .
I am here just to be aware of everything .
A feeling of being connected and a gentle breeze of lovingness .
Love for no reason .
Living for no reason .
That to me is the ultimate joy and happiness.
Thank you for being patiently awaiting for my return.
Love you.
Amar.

Can I Really Help Anyone ?

Can I Really Help Anyone ?

Today , I want to share this topic with you .
Can I really help anyone ?
I have been in the helping business most of my life !
Added to that I have a personalty or character that simply goes out of the way to help or guide 
anyone .
After much thought , I think we really cannot help anyone !
Until and unless the people want to be helped or really want to change , we can do nothing .
Most people just become comfortable to sit around and enjoy the attention given to them .
They will go and attend some talks or go regularly to so called religious or spiritual talks .
They enjoy or feel good hearing those talks and look forward to more such talks !
They are not seriously listening to what is being expressed by those learned teachers .
If they are listening , then they are not making the needed effort to take some action .
We are all creatures of habits .
Further , we are addicted to certain patterns of behaving .
Both of these require some serious effort to change .
There are some beliefs that we have been holding for a long time , even if we are uncomfortable
with those beliefs .
It's about being comfortable in our comfort zone .
It's easy to go on living with the devil I know then go out looking for the unknown angel .
That is the way most of us are .
We keep repeating the same mistakes because we keep doing the same things or ways .
We have to get real if we really want to change for the better .
We simply cannot do the same things and expect change .
As strange as it may sound , people actually believe that they can change doing the same things !
Change must come from within !
One must feel the need to change .
It must mean something to them .
Otherwise it is just a futile exercise .
Just felt like sharing my thoughts today.
Take care. Love.
Amar.

Our Human Drama : The Craziest Game that we All are Trapped in !!

Our Human Drama : The Craziest Game that We All are Trapped in !

Imagine that you  are from another planet , Universe or Spiritual level where you are a spiritual entity visiting Earth to experience human beings ,their cultures , religions , races or everything about the human civilisation . 
You watch them and like some advanced anthropologist , are attempting to understand the humans . Just as we are attempting to understand apes , whales or dolphins or even ants !
Humans are all the same across the planet in spite of  the differences in skin colour  and other minor differences . One can even call the differences like a sub species of the same major species . 
The basic brain capacity or capabilities are about the same all over the world . In other words , humans are born at about the same level as any other child in any place on the planet . The physical bodies are all about the same . Given the chance , any child has the potential to be anyone . 
So , the basic physical bodies are not a problem or an issue any where on the planet .
The human species is governed or controlled by a very intricate and complicated device called , The Mind .
This mind is where all the drama is being created and played out .
This playing field is really very complex and fascinating . 
The program's and games are such that each new born is programmed by a group of care takers who have all the methodology inbuilt in their systems . The reality that is created is based in ideologies , thoughts , belief systems , emotions  and high levels of electro chemicals . 
When you are within this reality , you are so much of this world that you cannot even conceive anything beyond what is your world .
Your cultures , religions , values , beliefs and thoughts are all well programmed to make that as your reality .
In the past , as the cultures and tribes were separated , they saw that as the highest truth or reality .
Now , as we are getting closer in a globalised program , our differences and similarities are getting exposed . 
We can see many simple contradictions that don 't make much sense . We can see many beliefs  across the planet that were simply crazy or down right stupid . They were simply going on or forced upon people who had their own agenda or some other benefits . Child marriages , strange rituals of growing , religious rituals at every turn of our life for some unknown agenda to a controlling group. 
Women in India were forced to jump into burning fires after the death of their husbands ! 
Women in Europe were burnt  as witches by the then church . 
The patterns of behaviour of all humans across the planet over all the times is a most amazing and fascinating phenomenon that simply defies intelligent understanding !
We are all aware that as humans were are conscious and aware that we are born and then we can die due to a million causes or reasons anytime after that . There is simple no form of any protection for any human ! One could be anywhere on this planet and in any level of the social standing . 
This life and death of our species is enough to make life uncertain and unpredictable . 
We almost all either deny or push this reality aside and cover it with all sorts of counter beliefs and have created a fabulous after word belief .
In the name of beliefs , ideologies and cultures , we have gone further to entrap ourselves over and further into this maze of total confusion and craziness . 
We create wars with a flip of a coin even to this day and give all sorts of legal or legitimate  stamp .
We have this rights and that rights of everyone until we have totally confused all issues .
We have a council of nations yet some have more power and rights then others !
The Geo Political issues are such a pile of confusion .
It all appears like a field day of conspiracy theories .
I will end my writing to this amazing human drama .
Take care. Love.
Amar.

Our Importance is Self Created

Our Importance is Self Created !

Have you ever thought of this possibility that whatever we all think is importance is only at the level of our  own tribe , family , race or nation .
Does it matter to a hungry lion to be selective in choosing  some animal or human to consume  ?
Will a hungry lion leave the ruler of the nation or tribe and go for the common person ?
Of course , it sounds crazy to have such thoughts .
For a hungry lion , it just wants to eat !
Be it a poor deer , a wildebeest or some poor human at the wrong place at the wrong time .
Does it matter who ?
You may be a king of some nation on a tour or a poor cowherd from the local tribes .
To a lion it simply does not matter .
There goes our self importance .
Let's go smaller and see what happens .
To a mosquito , it is the same story.
A female mosquito just needs blood from any human . It is not selective who that person may be .
Let's go even smaller and see how important we are .
A bacteria or a virus too is not selective of the person it chooses.
Even at the level of humans , our importance is relative !
My mother is really very important to me . Do you feel the same sense of importance if you knew her as a woman living in your neighbourhood ? Most unlikely .
So , if we go by this kind of reasoning , we soon can come to the conclusion that all importance is self created.
Your religion is important to you . Your nation is important to you .
My this or that is important to me . That too goes on changing from time to time .
Nothing is really important permanently .
Time and place will and can change that always .
Some event or person is very important to a certain group of people and not important to others .
Eventually all importance is relative in time and place.
We sometimes over grandiose this self importance .
Ethno-centric is a word where we think and feel we are the centre of the Universe .



People , religions and nations all have this tendency towards self importance .
It is a human trait .
Nothing more and nothing less !
Will end for today. Take care.
Amar.

Some Reflections on Life and Living !

Some Reflections on Life and Living !

It had been raining for most part of the night . 
Every now and then the loud thunder kept announcing that it is going to unload the water from those dark clouds that were full of water !
The lightening , light , thunder and the rain all has it's own language !
I enjoy the pat , pat on the roof as the rain come down .
The sound of the rain , the cool room and my warm bed is just the right composition for a wonderful sleep !
Sometimes the rain is so heavy that I keep wondering how the clouds can store so much of water !
When I let curiosity and wonder walk me through things , I am always amazed by everything !
When we stop wondering or getting fascinated with everything around , then we have become robots and moving in life in auto mode !
The child in us is what gives joy and colour to life .
The adult in me is good as a functional part.
There is a parent or social principal that keeps reminding me what is right or appropriate in my living .


Life is wonderful when we can understand and realise that we are all of the above and much more !
We play many roles in our life time .
All are fun and can be funny too when you are aware of your true nature .
In life we are so focused in all sorts of identities , roles , forms , ideas , beliefs and concepts that they have totally become our reality . We simply cannot see beyond that .
Yet , we all can see that all the above are ever changing entities that are temporary and will not last too long .
If we are able to sit back and think , we become aware that there is something within us that is not changing !
This changeless aspect that is within us is always aware of all that is going on in our form .
It is witness to all yet prefers to remain in the background .
Life and living becomes fascinating and a real challenging adventure to explore who or what we really are !
It is so much easier to go outwards in the world . go fishing , climb mountains , swimming , rock climbing or driving fast cars , making all the money or even enjoying relationships .
They are constantly changing and will not last .
There is the inner Self that is waiting to be explored !
The inner world is a Universe in it Self .

Invest in Yourself .

What I mean by that statement is that I like to keep some time for myself .
Just sitting quietly . Going for walks .
Time to reflect . Read and think . Wonder and ponder .
Watch people . Like to see what they are doing .
Sitting still . Exercises , Rest .
Basically just to have time for myself .
If I don't take time for myself , what a strange thing that I am busy wanting to know people and other things and yet have so little information about my own thinking or feeling . I don't know myself but am busy wanting to know everything else !
I want to know why I think or feel like I do .
So , I really feel that I need to invest space and time for my inner self .
The more I do this , the more I feel and understand human nature better .
I have come to realise that most humans are trapped  in their minds .
They are victims of their own beliefs , concepts , ideas and thoughts !
Without being aware they are going to keep living their whole life in that drama !
Addicted to silly and destructive habits that is going to destroy them !
I see this daily in every form .
From Geo political to petty and trivial  issues that are destroying most humans .
Very sad and indeed soul crunching !
This will do for now .
Take care. Love.
Amar.
