To be born in India exposed to its mystical philosophy is to wander 
throughout your life – free with a metaphysical certificate, as Karma is
 embedded in you DNA.
 No matter how intolerable the situation, you 
accept it with the stoic nature of a philosopher. Sometimes it also 
happens that instead of joy you will encounter pain. It is again 
attributed to Karma as explained in Eastern Philosophy.
 
 There are always exits, compensations, ameliorations, people, religious
 rituals that create a chaos when order is beyond human comprehension. 
There is no sharp separation between vice and virtue – neither joy nor 
sorrow can be connected to form a holy chain or a narrative of life.
 
 These expressions emotional as well as intellectual are all about the 
present moment of awareness. It is indispensable to understand this 
transition to achieve bliss and liberation. So go ahead, step on the 
gas, physically, mentally and spiritually. Drink the wild music of the 
noisy sheets; hear the bird song in the quiet woods to find the balance 
between what is pragmatic, materialistic and meaningful in life. 
 
 Streets may be ugly, dirty, life full of frailties, but don’t mind 
anything that happens – both the good and the bad have to co-exist in 
life. A perpetual spree, there are no exceptions because this is 
reality. Whatever is not in the open street is false; now work the 
calmness into your soul like an anesthetic.
 
 Even the Deistic 
creator who designed the world keeps aloof, an absentee God who is 
indifferent to their plight. He is not willing to step down from his 
Ivory Tower in Heaven and eradicate the problem of evil -that envelopes 
this world in the form of sorrow, suffering, injustice, exploitation and
 sickness. Why should god make some people more privileged than others? 
This is not so in the animal world or plant kingdom. The all powerful 
omnipotent god is silent or remains a mute witness. It would seem he is 
not existent.
 
 There is always a darker perception unleashing 
negative emotions – fear pain, jealousy, all distructure and the source 
is a gap that inevitably exists between the haves and have nots. Their 
aspirations are lost in translation and it triggers the thought process 
that their expectations are unrealistic.
 
 Theirs is a world 
where all of us would be thrown into turmoil because we can barely 
imagine it. Yet they have the audacity to define their own lives. The 
poor always view situations with more sensibilities on a deeper 
philosophical plane.
