Try to find logic in that

Three types of love.
Sex is beautiful it and it makes the world go around. Just like any other need in our life, we should not neglect our physical sexual needs. Physical intimacy and love work in tandem, increased sexual activity helps increase our love. This is a cosmic process embedded in our nature and part of our ongoing evolution. Sex deepens and broadens our minds; it elevates us to the next level of consciousness. Sexual activity like spirituality improves the overall mental and physical health of both partners, to give and to take pleasure for the joy and gratification of our partner as well as ourselves.
It is the vicissitudes of culture, society and the prejudices, of those obsessed with the myths of religion that impede our progress of sexual awareness of our self. We are not truly liberated because our society is not emancipated. If we break free we can realize the celestial potential of the love within us.
We have to question our religious and moral beliefs conditioned over the years, injunctions about the worship of god’s, sacrifice, sin and penance which were laid down by people who were not as evolved.
The vanquished skepticism lives on fully preserved in the body of the established theological texts. When sex is in a normal healthy state, one’s appetite will be infrequent, it must be treated as an act of love & bliss and never of shame, if one has to get out of “the lower” joy into a “higher” bliss. The process starts with falling in love with the physical beauty of your beloved and then it is transformed into intimacy. Physical intimacy can happen with other beauties that will then become your object of attention. Attachment is an illusion and therefore everything physical is less real than the ideal or true form of love, which can be attained only if you are detached. When the cycle repeats many times one finally reaches the ultimate form of mental love which is referred to in different terms, i.e. “platonic love” or “spiritual love”. In this state the physical and sexual intimacy does not happen.
From a dualistic perspective both are possible at the same time. Since physical love is strongly linked to procreation it can take on an ephemeral quality, a sort of eternal love. The real understanding that one must realize is that there are higher joys before which sex is a mere distraction & no longer an emotional or physical necessity. Spiritual or platonic love is the high road to bliss and is much more sublime, but to attain this state one must be satiated and have no more desire for physical sex. This is then the higher realm in the ladder of evolution

Wall Street Journey!
Break down the great Wall Street and occupy their wealthy homes.
“There have been tyrants and murderers and they seem invincible , but in the end they always fall, think of it, always” M.K.Gandhi. Under Gandhi an entire generation dedicated itself to the cause of freedom; ironically another generation has driven the country into the morass of crime and corruption.
Gandhi’s statement succinctly sums of what is happening around the globe. From the Arab spring of dissent against tyranny and dictatorship of the Middle East to Anna Hazare’s revolt against corruption in India and the clarion call to “Occupy Wall street movement. The specter of revolt has ignited the minds and imagination of all the people in the world.
Anarchy all over has sparked and grown these revolts into an amorphous global movement. Justice has always been blind and is a paradigm of people frozen in the past. It is interesting to note that in these movements there is a heady mix of intellectuals, blue collar workers pacifists, Marxists, idealists, pragmatist’s ; men and women cutting across, class, race, religion, countries to form an egalitarian group unified in spite of their differences. Often the truth and the intent lie in our perception, rather than facts. Perpetrators of these evils are divorced from ethics and good governance, dispensing justice is reduced to a mere technicality, just like the fine print in their marketing texts. The Greek tragedy of large chunks of sovereign debt, the tottering Italian government, the lobbyists, dictators unemployment in the USA, the recession and corruption are now in the collective cross hairs of the people who are taking aim to set in the reforms needed.
Along the course of history we all believed that it is morally correct to repay debts, but the debts of large companies and governments which are never repaid are passed on to unwary individuals, whose debts, loans, mortgages and credit card out standings are foreclosed with a vengeance. The influence of money in politics has created the financial crises, leaving the inhabitants of the of world to fend for themselves in the wake of the collapse.
Risk is a pet commodity in Wall Street and an extremely dangerous commodity when it falls into the wrong hands. The villains of corruption are investment bankers, big business, politicians and administrators, recently the lobbyists have also come into the limelight. Like the wicked witches of Halloween, whose insatiable greed has caused the meltdown. The results as seen are foreclosure, unemployment, homelessness and poverty; while most people toiled day and night to make a living and cared about the poor and unemployed, many exploited this naivety and wanted to profit from human weakness and misery. The shenanigans of these evil super villains are now out in the open and even their Armani jackets or Saville Row pin striped suits have been stripped and like the emperor’s new clothes they all are now naked. In times of evil the laws is a mute, deaf and blind spectator and in the shadow of Mammon all business practices are heretical, till the motivated vigilantes take over center stage. There are no easy solutions in the fight against tyranny, corruption and greed. Those fighting ruthless opponents with no moral scruples in chaotic times deserve all the support and luck in this cruel world.
Real prosperity comes only when common welfare for people is built into the system and happiness becomes a by product. Until then like the born again skeptics we all will be misguided at the fate of humanity.- Vinay-

SEX, LOVE AND MYSTERY.
Everybody wants to understand the secret of handling the sexual impulse. It is one of our profoundest mysteries the wild beast of our evolutionary heritage, a great mystery. Physical intimacy is undeniably one of the strongest instincts of human nature. To make love is to taste delight, to know the beloved by entering and being entered, is to join our desires with compassion.
To give and to take joy, to trust, to make ourselves vulnerable, to be generous, it takes precedence over our finer feelings and perceptions. Misery is because of our inability to control a perfectly normal impulse and when we treat it as something base, instead of a holy force.
And yet this primal function of our nature is the constant butt (pun intended) of jokes and method of debasement……
To screw, (a bastardization of the noun) is to sexually couple by conquest, to undermine the will, or take something away from the partner, if only for a momentary release. A kind of violent masturbation, flung upon another member of the human race, a loveless task, and one who screws to defame is called a seducer, a rapist. Sex is always viewed from a subjective experience; biological, physiological, but never from the spiritual. Love cannot exist by sex alone; we need some higher form of emotion or feeling to sustain it.
When the fireworks of sex are over, the embers still smolder beneath the surface. The complex realities of our emotional and psychological selves have to absorb the multidimensional consequences of sexual intimacy, which can have both positive and negative fall outs. Life comes out of it……. Sex has tremendous beauty; you cannot repress it or defeat sexual energy. It should be respected; life has happened out of it, if one understands it, you can evolve and use this diverse universal energy correctly, then the possibilities are infinite.-vinay-

A Pilgrimage in to the heart of nature!.
Many people as they grow older undertake pilgrimages to holy places or shrines based on their faith. It is a journey in search of moral significance, as religions attach spiritual importance to such places.
It can be a shrine or place of birth/death of a saint or founder of a sect or even a holy land like Jerusalem; which is now the cause of dispute between the abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All these popular shrines are so crowded that whatever divinity that existed must now have been trampled into the ground below.
When people set out on the quest for the meaning of life, they forget the fundamental premise and search for the non existent forms. What is my role in this universe? \
You try to seek the answer by visiting a shrine, but do not explore the earth. I always wonder why when the universe is as beautiful, none of us attempt a slow lingering pilgrimage through nature.
We are missing the greatest opportunity to seek the truth beyond our mundane life. If we do this we would be mesmerized by the beauty, variety of fauna and flora.
In the deep woods the mighty Oak, Banyan & Rosewood trees mysteriously beckon us to listen to the sounds of music, while offering shade from the heat of the sun.
The serene ambience is broken by the monsoons and the frogs croaking in unison while leaping in and out of limpid pools of water, with their melodious mating songs. In the romantic moonlight crickets gather like a choir and chirp a harmonious devotionally orchestrated music.
The lush green paddy fields the willow trees the resplendent flowers, the soothing breeze, the warbled and trilling sounds of the birds, usher in a serene ambience to still our minds. The azure blue sea, the salty sea winds, chasing the rainbow, seeking the elusive blue bird is part of the splendour of nature’s treasure trove.
It is a deeper spiritual odyssey more fulfilling than any pilgrimage can evoke. The lofty mountains, the verdant forest, snow capped hills, waterfalls the dense foliage, the sound of frogs, squirrels, or crickets and birds is the essence and spice of life, where love, music family and nature are seamlessly connect with the universe.
The lazy lakes with its still waters inspire supreme peace without even meditation. Connecting with nature is like blending with mysticism. –Vinay-

Life a bewidering saga!
Life is totally bewildering saga in a simple and profound sense, we have been tortured and threatened for almost 30 years ever since we finished graduation. The bright ones went to Harvard and Stanford to become investment bankers and screwed up our lives from the confines of Wall Street, people have lost faith in government, god and leaders.
They pin their hopes on their children, despite recession, unemployment and national debt; we shower all our money on them with designer clothes, I-pods, mobile phones and other expensive stuff. They are our last bright hope to turn dreams into reality, heaven on earth is a concept often invoked, but is difficult to define in these volatile times. Fate has become an unpredictable road and is still - a work in progress, and may degrade our dreams of the future. In the last two decades the chase for luxury goods and materialistic pleasures has increased in an obscene manner, consumerism has reached obsessive levels.
The anguish of the souls comes gushing out like a saga for the whole global community that is in transition. Knowing the truth is different from living it, when the only visitors we have are the milkman, post man and debt collector. Though we try to turn to each other in emotionally detonated moments of catharses, it is difficult to share our inner turmoil and disappointments. I am haunted by a collage of visions and recollections about family and past. The occupy wall street movement is a sort of meditative journey as seen from the perspectives of all men and women , searching for the truth in a deserted world. It is a sort of intense thriller set in a world of financial wars and reveals so much of the depth of its characters; no heroes, villains or leaders, just real people, and many of them hurting as they seek justice which

Atheism has no Church/Temple or Mosque; no prayers, no holy looks, no scriptures, no dogmas and no preachers. You have to make your own path and way of life. It has no prophet and does no make profit by deluding anyone.
In the festive season there are ads or exchange offers, where you trade in your old refrigerator, washing machine or television set and walk out with a spanking new model. I looked in vain at all the advertisements and offers even in the matrimonial columns to see if I could trade in my wife, for one of those Russian women, whose awesomeness and attractiveness is only surpassed by their ability to consume copious amounts of Vodka!-Vinay_
Listening to soulful music like Bach/ Beethoven/Mozart or birds chirping is like embracing spirituality. In total silence the mind is stilled, like a beautiful opiate, where you don’t get addicted yet, you attain a deep sensitivity and receptivity to nature. As ego dissolves it penetrates to the core of your being, this is the essence.-Vinay-
A great person is someone who turns adversity into a creative endeavor that shatters the mundane limitations and grasps the spontaneity of opportunity to deliver the marvelous. Vinay-
I am not on talking terms with my liver and wife, due to my nihilistic lifestyle including dawn to dusk drinking on the Sabbath.
99% of women are beautiful the rest 1% are working in my local Post Office.
The Islamist clergy "misguides" its zealous followers and uses them as "guided missiles" and weapons of mass destruction to wreck terror, violence and devastation across the world
Harold Camping the evangelist preacher from USA after mis-predicting May 21st as doomsday has used his left over evangelical fervor to pronounce October 21st as the end of the world. After proselytizing his religion for 89 years his end will surely come soon. And god will ask on “Judgment Day” what happened to the prophecy you made that day.For Camping “thy doomsday Kingdom will come down soon, when his will do him in” as a final curtain call, while the heathens will inherit the earth. _Amen_ Vinay-
As I drive to work, the message on my wing mirror "Objects in the mirror are closer than you think" makes me peer into the rear view mirror to check on the grim reaper. One gets a unbelievable sense of our own impermanence, we don’t have forever to set things right and enjoy life.
The “Indian rope trick” is nothing but a metaphor of how to deal with life. The rope is our ascending mind (kundalini), which is our love knotted by fear, envy, hate, and negativity. When we unknot these our life will spiral/rise up to the top with bliss, peace and love. - Vinay Tweets-
The Bible, Koran, Torah, Geeta, and other holy books are best sellers, fiction written by ghostwriters of yore!
It is a sad commentary that many of my College friend's gave up drugs, alcohol, and sex; got married and worked very hard to make a lot of money, but never got a chance to enjoy it or life!
When I am plagued by anxiety, fear, and negative emotions, I let myself be quietly drawn by the pull of the women who love me.
Every cultured and aristocratic family has one insane member, and in my family I am the chosen one!
The Universe will always exist, it is eternal, it is within your" nature" to accept it, you do not have to unravel it. The world is my abode, I don't try to understand it; I just accept and enjoy it.-Vinay-
