Witty and Me?
I admire people who can write consistently.
I mean, its hard.
Call it writers block, laziness, too busy, “I cant hold on to my thoughts to put it as words”, “too busy drinking to write”, one has to overcome all sorts of obstacles to write these days. There are way too many things distracting you away from writing. Of all the things you can think of not to write, I like this reason one of my friends, who is a pretty irregular blogger (not so unlike me) told me, “there is nothing worthy to blog about.” I thought about this statement and realized how true it was.
There is nothing amazing, exciting going around me to talk about. Every topic has been exhausted, annihilated or too trivial to talk about.
After typing this statement, I was stunned that I reached to this conclusion. Is it true that life has turned so mundane that I feel nothing is special or momentous to talk about?
It Sucks, the whole idea that life has become so “mudane” sucks.
The other day Vrutti took me to this movie called Finding Joe.
In middle of contemplating about this movie, I came to face with this awful fact that, If we give up on life, accept that nothing can go better for us, we will turn into something we always never wanted to become - a grumpy old muckraker.
Different philosophies influences one’s philosophy. So, what works for me will not work for you. However it can influence you. Campbell tells us that turning point in one’s life is preceded by chaos. I rather call it “mute period”, that span of time where you stop listening to what is going on in life and blindly accept that nothing good is going to happen, everything and anything you do becomes routine, you get bored with the things which used to interest you the most. Life in short becomes muted tv, where in bunch of hazy pictures try to tell you something but you can never hear them. The pictures are so enthralling that we forget to turn on the sound and hear what they say to us.For most of us this whole scenario is a reminder that we never heed to.
Confused souls like me are often victims of such “mute tv phenomenon”. Doing things which I am supposed to do is always right thing, or is it. No one ever teaches you to do what you like, they teach you to like what is right.
The day we turn on the sound, will be the day you find your bliss.

Boss, what 100 days 100 days? I don’t understand. We have seen so many centuries ok? We celebrate every time 100 is reached. So this time also we will celebrate. Agreed boss, Manipur has faced ONE HUNDRED days of economic blockade. So what?
After all it is in some stupid corner of the…
Amazing read after a long time.
Our gods are not independent entities. They do not have a life of their own. They exist and act in the web of our consciousness, our thinking and our myths.
Our gods, or divine beings we bow, are created by our consciousness. Our consciousness, in turn, is shaped by attributes and characteristics of our gods.
We are intertwined with our gods to a very large degree – even if we do not call these gods by their traditional religious names. People who worship science and consider physical facts as g o d - l e t s are intertwined with their scientific “gods”. So are the people who worship Mammon as their main deity and who are obsessed and mesmerised by their fat bank accounts.
We cannot live by bread alone. We need some celestial nourishment to be fully human, and thus spiritual. Hence, we invent myths and “devour” them and are continually nourished by them. Myths are an essential substratum of all religions and all spiritual creeds.
While we are considering this vast panorama, let us not forget the main focus of our discourse, which is the liberated God. And the question is: How do we distinguish gods or divine forces, which are liberating from these, which are not liberating or even constraining? This is not an easy matter.
There is a strange circularity in the whole process. We are not liberated because our gods are not liberated. Our gods are not liberated because we are not liberated. How do we break this flawed circle of unenlightenment? We can do this by simply observing that gods and human beings are on the same journey of liberation. We share the same project of ultimate liberation until the end – until the cosmos realises its ultimate spiritual potential.
In this journey of Self-realisation, the most important two vehicles are freedom and creativity. They work in tandem, in both human beings and gods. The increased creativity helps to increase freedom. And the increased freedom helps to increase creativity. This works among gods, too. A truly free god must be immensely creative. At the same time, this god must be generous to human beings – by helping them to become more creative and free. The cosmic process of liberation is going on regardless of the vicissitudes of organised religions.
Freedom is an attribute of divinity. If beings are constrained in their freedom, they cannot be divine. If gods are restricted in their freedom, they are not sufficiently divine. If traditional religions are restricted in their freedom, and are restricting freedom of others, they are not divine and are not helping cosmic evolution.
The liberated God is the One, which, by extending His freedom and creativity, enlarges the scope and depth of the intelligent universe. At the same time, this God deepens and broadens the human mind so that the mind helps the liberated God to become more liberated and creative. The liberated God needs our help as much as we need His help. Without our consciousness, the liberated God cannot make it. Our liberated consciousness is part of the liberated God.
The Tao of liberated God is this stupendous liturgy and epiphany of light, which helps liberated God, as well as the liberated human, in their quest for ultimate Self-realisation.
Amazing zing…..
