Being
Human in this world, Gosh! One of the biggest task given by the God. Sometimes
I think we are walking on a very thin rope and time bombs are fitted on the
ground. One wrong turn and we are OUT.
Going
through the life day-by-day, learning new lessons and contemplating and
experiencing it, this is the only practical wisdom gained by personal knowledge
or action.
Life
today, as it’s changing with the growing demands of modern day, is making
people more envious of each other causing hatred and violence. Its difficult
for a human, who only relies on honesty is forsaken by others. Having relied on
the teachings of Bhagavad Gita, an honest person is unable to understand the
ills of the society that believes in falsity and snatching the happiness of
others.
I have many times pondered
upon the state of universe, how we all are a tiny part in this cosmic beauty. The
planets, Earth, land, countries, states, people; we all are so tiny and far
away.
I have always thought
about being on the Moon. Through internet, checking out the splendid pictures of
the moon from the earth, I have always wondered how beautiful it would be to
see the blue earth from the moon. This small, blue and beautiful earth on the
internet and watching moon everyday fascinates me. And sometimes I imagine
being on the moon. It makes me think of the growing population and demands of
the people living on the Globe.
Dreaming of walking on the
moon makes me at peace. Thinking about it makes a soothing moment. For a moment
it takes me away from the noise of the earth, where people knows the language
of capturing (lands, properties), snatching and killing.
“When you’re finally up at the moon
looking back on earth, all those differences and nationalistic traits are
pretty well going to blend, and you’re going to get a concept that may be this
really is one world and why the hell can’t we learn to live together like
decent people.” - Frank Borman, Apollo 8, December, 1968
Off course, this doesn't only
go in for countries but with the homes too. One is not able to understand the intentions of the people sometimes.
Intentions are not just the words put in through messages written or spoken;
but the person’s deed behind a particular thing.
Other thing is, Formality. Generally seen as a person’s
personal motive behind it. These types of people don’t go by emotions rather
than just expressing their not-so required formalities. So many things need not
be taught, but things and views/ideas that come naturally or are acquired. Formality
defines a casual nature of the being.
Well,
time changes but people remain same.
I guess Manipulations has become a synonym with
bad intentions. People manipulate victories. There will always be the battle
between good and evil, courage and cowardice. It’s the weak people who try to
show the world that they are strong, superior and good by heart, but their
deeds (a secret from the world) will come out soon. In short, these people are
losers.
They will talk sweet,
please everyone around them will try to help others, basically jump into a
situation without being called for and giving unwanted advises. These fake lads
life is itself a LIE.
There are people who try
to impress others. That’s their sole
purpose in life. The main reason is that they lie to gain attention, to
impress, to feel important and superior, and make others feel inferior. Some
have done it for so long, that it just comes naturally to them, it becomes a
compulsion.
Sometimes people lie, just to go along with others,
because they fear conflict and want to solve their motive first. Some do it to
boast, so they will be accepted by others, to appear more liked and admirable. They
feed upon their own pride. These people will never accept TRUTH and criticism.
One of the major sins,
according to Garuda Purana, is lying. People lie so plainly that the other
person will not be able to notice it. These liars become an expert in the job.
These hypocrites put on the fake appearance and even disrespect people who are
pure and wise.
American psychiatrist
M.Scott Peck describes an evil person who is consistently self-deceiving, with
the intent of avoiding guilt and maintain a self-image of perfection. Psychologically
projects his/her sins onto very specific targets, scapegoating those targets
while treating everyone else normally. These people maintain a high level of
respectability & lie incessantly and have a covert intolerance to criticism.
Think about it - The
crocodiles, fishes and others, which from birth to death, dwell in the water of
Ganga- do they become pure?
It will be hard if these
people do not change themselves for good.
I
feel pity for these people. Being a rebel in front of them does take time and
patience. These people are hungry for everything be it respect, love or
material possessions. They can easily steal away the things ‘deserved’ by
others.
As
truly been defined in the book ‘Manuscript found in Accra’ by Paulo Coelho;
these people are like the pack of hyenas. They eat the leavings of a lion but
don’t have the courage to fight with him. These enemies are the cowards who are
put up there to test our weakness & not the courage.
These
people generally works in group and by hook or crook including trickery and
also black magick, and try to show themselves happy and grateful. I sympathize
with these people, their parents and their environment that teaches them to be
victorious by, literally, climbing ‘on’ people.
Their
same behaviour/attitude, their mistakes will be repeated for generations to
come and will be strongly condemned by he society one day.
Fooling people through
trickery and plotting will have its repercussions. It seems that these people
have a paroxysm of worry if they don’t fulfill their way of showing somebody
down.
I
don’t understand why people forget that their misdeeds done today may have its
effects on their children in future. If they are powerful today, they should
remember that Time is more powerful. And, today is not forever.
Cause
& Effect through KARMA plays its role someday. God never, ever abandons
those whose motive is pure. These true beings are only abandoned by greedy
society.
Tables are turned on and
there is BANG!!!
And the losers are swept
away and there they go vanished. BOOM!!!
Can’t everyone live with
purity in their hearts? Why do you need to conflict? Why are you not content
with what you have? With hard work, patience, determination and time anybody
can possess anything in its pure form.
Grace, good fortunes and
blessings never goes in vain for the brave and honest person. He/she may be
condemned today cause of her honesty and courageous nature but time will be her
success result. As said truly “courage is not the absence of fear but the
triumph over it”.
Everything happening in
the world is part of the divine plan to restore Dharma and order upon earth.
For a second, God does give us clue to choose between right and wrong. To
remain on right side of the thing and not being tempted into evil ways. Being
ignorant & egoistic, God drowns these wicked people through their self made
selfish actions. These people use the name of God only with a selfish purpose
without ever acknowledging it. These people take credit for the work done by
others and rarely appreciate the things taught to them by others, therefore
showing no gratitude and humility.
In the end, it’s the
victory towards attaining Wisdom and Liberation, then to be a poser and
attaining petty things. These people never EVOLVE. These posers exhibit
themselves naked in heart and mind in front of God.
Beautifully defined by Devdutt
Pattanaik in the book - Sita(Retelling of the Ramayana)
'Fear is a constant, and Faith is a
choice. Fear comes from Karma, from faith arises dharma. Fear creates Kaikeyis
and Ravanas, streets full of gossip, families with rigid rules and fragile
reputations. They will always be there. Faith creates a Sita and a Ram. They
will come into being only if we have faith that the mind can EXPAND until we
donot abandon the world even when the world abandon us. '
