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.
