Existence, Religion, Faith

Drawing conclusions is a gift we have been endowed with, having being created as the intelligent species that we are. As to how creation in entirety came into being is a question that has been asked since time immemorial...and answered too, depending on the answers received and accepted (or liked) by the one who answers. And this shall continue...and continue to contradict or corroborate depending on what an individual’s perspective leads to and where it leads to. 

As of ‘faith’, it is distinctly different from belief...as far as I perceive. And if one has to relate with respect to a religion, then, true and absolute faith would never incite the ‘faithful’ to denounce all other religions...or bring harm to followers of a different faith. True followers of faith (any) realize that as their faith is true for them, so is true the faith of ‘others’ for ‘them’. Religion that we 'see' today is less about faith, but more about rituals and 'teachings' depending upon the interpretations of the interpreter...man-made...with impositions implied, "What is good for me is good for you as well" or "It is so, so it has to be so". True faith is accessed within...and without being essentially within the framework of any particular religion. Faith in itself is a religion...

When we have faith, we do not need anything else...as it is our faith that guides us to 'be' and 'do'...how and what we need to 'be'...and do what needs to be done to unravel the truth...and the answers, the answers that we seek...primary being that of our being, origin of our existence…and the reasons for the very existence of existence…

A Book

A book is not merely pages filled with words...showcasing an individual's reflections and realizations...irrespective of the subject. It is a potent tool in the larger perspective of life...having infinite potential to make you access your infinite potential.


A book becomes a part of your life...as it redefines your life by making you to redefine your own self...and recreate your self... 


If the intention is so behind its being written...so it is realized...even though at times it feels likes the book of life has too many pages of 'time' to be flipped before the book becomes 'a book'.


But if one has booked a time with one's destiny, consciously, with full faith, 'the book' keeps its appointment as a reality...by becoming 'it'...

Choice

'Be' your own choice...

Following

Intently followed is the happening in the lives of friends...and foes alike. Though the intentions behind these 'followings' are not alike. They being about the people liked and disliked, respectively. But whatever be the intentions behind the following, the following is there...

But is the time taken to follow one's own self earnestly...and find out what is happening in one's life truly...and why is it happening the way it is happening? And if so, by how many? It is wished that this 'many' trascends from 'only these many?' to 'innumerable'...

Everything Is NEW

We ask ourselves and others, "So, what is new?" But let us ponder over our own question...and we would invariably wonder as to why we asked this question. Because as we introspect...give some time to ourselves in silence we realize that everything is new. If we look at the gross, we find it unchanged. Yet 'the moment' as it gives way to the next...and a new moment is birthed, we at the core level too are re-birthed. 

No two moments are same...and as we live through these moments we too change, with our perceptions changing. Each new moment renews us...consciously or unconsciously. Our 'different' reactions and responses to 'similar' events bears testimony to this fact. It tells us how 'far' we have come...and that 'distance' traversed, is a measure of the evolution of our consciousness...of the being that we are. 

Though we usually term it as "coming of age"...it is actually the evolutionary process and its progress... that we are referring to...

It is thus this very "coming of age" that is wished for...for only then peace would envelope each and all in its sublime embrace...Our Creator's Grace...

Control?

Controlled or uncontrolled, it is our actions that control us...by shaping our life.

To Create Or Not To Create

When we have been blessed with a gift of creativity which gets termed as a specific talent, it is our sacred duty to express it...and thus share it...instead of worrying as to who would appreciate it. That includes everything and excludes nothing. The journey of expression in itself is sheer bliss. A desired outcome is just a garnishing...an icing on the cake. And the bonus comes with the applicability the creation finds. It is a continuous process...as life in itself is. We cannot compartmentalize it as effort and result…as result goes well beyond that which is apparent as it takes into account the satisfaction quotient of the ‘recipient’ as well as the ‘creator’. Not to forget the already mentioned joy while the creator is in the binds of creation bound by unbound joy…

Just imagine had our Creator thought before Creating us whether we would cause our Creator to be appreciated or otherwise what The Creator would have done?

As Far As We Are Concerned, We Are To Create From The Domain Of Our Truth… As We Have Been Created …All Unique… And All Blessed With Unique Creativity…And By Doing So We Give Meaning To Our Own Creation…
