It's a Simple World..

We learn from the society that we have to be responsible. We should be responsible in fulfilling our duties and taking good care of our loved ones. All that we remember about ourselves is physical. We work every day with the intent of building a good personality which is acknowledgeable by the society.

A small child is pleasant and joyous. He has no responsibilities. The trees live naturally. It is not their responsibility to purify the air or hold the earth together. It’s a part of their natural living. For us working is natural. Having food is natural. We share this space on earth for living together. It’s all basic living. In the same way we get emotional, we fall in love, we become angry and this is all defined naturally in the life of man. Moreover we have designed lifestyles and mannerisms for living together. Hence it is evident that the world today was built through a natural thought process for sustaining our race with stability and balance retained in nature.

Today we witness complications in life. We seem to understand more than our ancestors. We understand compromises, fears, differences, profits and many more which are less natural for the mind. In a way we call this knowledge, wisdom or even intelligence in the process of evolution.  We try to gear up to stand first in the queue. In this race between ourselves we have lost the concept of goal and purpose in our lives.

We started living without the common awareness of what we want from our lives. If a person starts running in one direction, our immediate thought is to run faster than him in the same direction. In this way we are living without a goal in life. We called this competition. Initially we defined concepts for sustaining a peaceful living in this world. But today we define our lifestyles for sustaining the concepts we defined earlier, even if they are inapplicable to the present. If we continue to attach strings in this way, we will be no different from the puppets in a puppet show.

Finally I want to say that it’s a simple world and there are no strings attached...     

Boredom Detached

    Talks with Aditya Varma: The essence of the talk is to try something new in life. It is about the trust we should lay on ‘Change’. We should experiment new things to explore the hidden talents in us. In the process we’ll learn.

    Investing on the routine things of life, isn’t interesting anymore, please realize. What you miss out in the routine thinking is something worth more than anything in life. There is no fun in visiting the same place again and again. It’s the freshness of a new place that brings us joy and excitement in the journey of life.

    Opening the doors to the unknown isn’t always easy. But once we start the practice of exploring into the details of life, we realize the colors which we never knew had existed previously. So, let’s record what we observe and then sketch out what’s new in the things we have done. 

Tears..

    There are still tears in my eyes and today I wonder why.. I am sensitive and I don’t know what makes me cry. It’s all emotional but the only enquiry I hold is why??

    I don’t have reasons. The best part of it lies in the source that brings this creation to the stage. The gap between the bodies I hold and me is still not clear. I may exhibit many emotions, but there’s something I am looking for which exists beyond the visible. What appears right to me may remain a conception, and the only beauty that exists lies in witnessing it.

    All this knowledge leaves a person with the honorable designation of an actor. We can also call ourselves liars, if that sounds better. The only practice that life offers me, is now wet with tears. I call it sorrow which is but laughable for others. When they cry it’s me who laughs. However I want to question the validity of the happenings. There’s still a gap that I witness which differentiates me from all the pain I experience.

    Life isn’t the truth!! This is what I feel. It isn’t even close to something like that. What we see in this world is nothing but our own selves. So, what are you making fun of??

    I am in love with these words which come through me. It helps me dissipate the energy that builds out of emotions. It is the sadness today and the anger tomorrow, but I still question…

HOW DOES IT MATTER??

It's Precious

    I have some energy. I manage it wisely. Every activity takes some of it, but soon after we sleep, we are ready to get more of it. What do you think about energy?  If you ask me, I would say I would grab it as much as I can. But what about the uncertainty with which we lead our lives..

    I don’t know how much it takes to experience the next situation. I guess this scenario of not knowing is quite natural in this planet. Now, let’s talk about the dissipation of energy. Just think how much of it is under your control. If I am right, it asks for your awareness while carrying on with your daily activities. ...I know I can’t ask for more.

    Once you start this practice, your concentration improves. You’ll come to know about your improvements once your observation improves. Oh! It’s now chaining up.. So what’s next?

    It’s now that we embark on a journey towards the unknowing. We begin our experiences with the new steps we take. We sense the aesthetic. But all I can assure you is that, it’s not over yet.

    Our understanding of what we perceive reaches a new level. It’ll be a new platform from where we do our activities. The world has been there for ages, but it’s now that the time has come to kindle our lives. Never before has there been such beauty in the world around. So, what has changed?

    When I took my debut in this new level, I was excited, and after all these years of persistence, I can say that I am now joyous. Now it’s your turn to write, learn or experience, as you now have the one precious thing – Your Life!!

The Defying ISNESS..

    This article is dedicated to the one who believes that there is NO END. Yes it is dedicated to the writer of this article, ADITYA HIRAN.

    For, he lives as though  he is living around his physical self more than he does in the physical. As far as I know, from the worldly definitions, he is a human being. But his style is different.

    He knows that life is a choice but still stands out of choosing the reality. He believes that choosing something is equally biased in life as there is judgment. Being intellectually tuned as a realized soul, he stays out of it.

    As he sinks into the eternity, he honors himself by saying that suffering is out of his life. Let me explain his perspective, he believes that nothing is created unless we create it. And now, this holds for “Suffering” as well.

Hence his life is a joyous song, conveying the truth that there is NO END, as all is Eternal!!

MINGLED VIBES

    This brings forth a whole new perspective of handling vibes in the journey of life. Let's understand vibes as a culmination of thoughts, emotions and intentions we create. Referring to this idea, Man seems to work on handling these vibes as long as his material conceptions do not collapse.
    In similar lines power is defined sometimes as the ability to handle vibes. Even after witnessing a whole lot of coincidences and happenings which are never expected, people still seem to believe in this fallacy called power, in which man imagines himself standing and stabilizing these vibes. So at the end of the day if we question ourselves on our achievements, we find our own ways to defend our own selves. If we dare to look into ourselves even after all this we understand 'Why a bad carpenter blames his tools.'
    Associating with the eternity, it may be true to call life as suffering, but it should be well understood that it is we who create this suffering. Coming to the vibes, they needn't be handled but need to be controlled in the first place while being created.

1st Noble Truth: Life is suffering. (Ref: Buddha's Eightfold Path)
2nd Noble Truth: You create your own reality. (Ref: Brahmarshi Patriji's Talks, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne or well known as The Law of Attraction).
Inference: Have a check on what you create before calling life a suffering.

INNER PEACE

    On being asked by my friend, I am writing this article. It is about inner peace. If you believe this article to be the answer, it will surely be.
    At some point of time each and everyone of us arrive at this quest. But having a question in mind is not enough. Moreover it is very different from embarking an exploration towards inner peace. When there is enough strength in you to be persistent in your quest, it is only then that your journey is said to have begun.
    What does it take to begin this journey? The answer I give is "You"!!
    Is there a way to know what we really are? I give a Yes Yes to the question. For further clarity I would like to mention ways to satiate your materialism. We believe ourselves to be physical entities which is a conception in the first place. We tend to believe in what we see which needn't be the truth always. For the dictionary to hold a word that can explain this exploration of the self, we have the term MEDITATION.
    What is meditation and how do we practise it? Meditation is a "NO-THOUGHT" state. To achieve this state we inculcate a practice called ANAPANASATI. This practice was first given by the Buddha. It is a simple practice yet so powerful.
    Anapanasati means "To be with the in-breathe and the out-breathe". Closing our eyes and practising this technique gives a revelation of what we are looking for.
    Over time, we come to an understanding that there are no questions. We realize that our questions were never needed. The vitality of living in the present is understood and experienced.
    Hence Inner Peace is said to have been found. 

Through the Basics

    In the ‘Now’ of time, let’s introduce the reader to the journey that absorbs the benefits from sheer exploration of the self. Let this be a key to the door of unresolved miseries.

    Life has started. Every co-ordinate in the limits of birth and death has to be experienced. The time has come to start the exploration that pulls the roots of knowledge. We term it as the process of learning. Life can be perceived from the two dimensions i.e. the limitations and the esoteric.

    Let us understand limitations as the human characteristics that are responsible for the disturbances in life. These stand against the natural existence of a human being.

    Relevant to the present context let us talk of Energy. It is defined as the capacity to do work. Behind every activity there is this requirement called energy.

    The disturbances imposed by the human limitations can be moderated with the help of energy. For example patience requires energy. The chances of getting irritated are high when a person is exhausted. But this relation may not hold in all cases. That is eating food which is believed to be the source of energy need not calm down the irritated man. So this puts us back into the search that can satiate man in the realms of life.

    Thinking of the energy and the art, that can bring peace to life’s continuing disturbances help us arrive at a practice called MEDITATION.

    Through meditation we find inner peace. It also helps in dissolving the limitations and touching the esoteric. Finally we get associated with the cosmic energy that leaves us complete without any requirements attached.

The Theory Behind CHANGE

    The validity of change remains an argument in this plane. Its nature is bold and promising when witnessed. But many argue from the other side of the view. So the truth is.. what?

    Is this a question of many disheartened souls, tired exploring over life’s deepest truths? Let us find out through this medium, of words.

    From my experience I believe in the philosophy of change. To put down in words, change can be defined as a process of melting beliefs. With time and effort, rigidity establishes itself in the way life is led in this plane. Some term it as ego. Now when the space is occupied with such beliefs, it is then that an opportunity is born, to break it...

    Breaking the rigidity, associates the self with the emotional experience that the present offers. Not so easy is the immediate next, for someone who is on the onset. It is but a spec in the journey of life that offers such magic in the form of a situation. Critical are its operations over mind. At the expense of energy, it takes a lot of courage for designing happenings such as these that lead to Change.

    Much energy is consumed. Now if there is still something remaining to continue in the direction offered, then we talk of the change that is witnessed. So I call it rare and valuable. But it is a choice left to us, to witness it as it is. Again to do so require a broken man or a man with the rigidity dissolved.

In Search of Truth

    This is not me. Running behind things is not my way of living. If my present is occupied by someone who is not me, then my life remains an experience. I don't want to choose this kind of life, with many precious moment being wasted as experiences. I want to be with my self. I want to be with the Truth that I am, and hence I choose...
    The reason behind all this confusion was the expectation I carried. I was in search of truth. When I failed to find the truth in one job, I changed to a different platform. Being fickle as it appears, was only a disguise. Not anymore do I need to run, as I now believe that the truth lies in the inner world and not in the world outside. Experiences were good in that, they show the path not to be taken. They show things not to be attached to. The journey into the inner has begun long ago, but there was a deficit in the strength required to commence the journey.
    The time as it is said has come, to start from where I have left. It takes huge devotion to continue in time and the term used to describe this Isness is...

Sadhana

 The Practice

Ambitious

    A little curiosity has popped in, towards observing life. Watching the river flow has been my daily routine though not in stringent terms. Peace has been a natural phenomenon as I go ahead experiencing the sounds of silence.

    Stepping out of this paradise is the reality that we create. First we split the world into two, setting ambitions. Each moment we take out time to define destiny in terms of these ambitions. The routine in the walk of life adds the flavor called 'Faith'. The hand behind all this creation is not remembered anymore. But the thought put into it has now strengthened and takes the name 'Belief'. We now believe in ourselves, and trust the power behind such spirited existence. Occupied with the vibes of fury, we start witnessing emotions.

    This battle of ours, continues till the day when the second world comes into sight. Slowing down in pace, we watch the reality it offers. It is then that we realize what we have created.
