why is there so much sadness?
Hey there ,long time no see.........yes ! so much tension going on in life ,so much confusion,so much depression (depressed about how life has turned out to be for me ) and really anxious of what will happen or if i will any day be able to do something for myself and give back to the people who need more than me.............
Thats what i am going to talk about today ,"why is there so much depression in the world ?"or generally speaking ,"why is there so much sadness ?" .does any body know the answer ,if you do may be in 2000 years we will have churches/temples/monasteries built in your name where people will gather together to worship you...
Jokes apart, its man's thirst for happiness,contentment and satisfaction that i believe led to the creation of someone whom we can either give all the credit for our success/happiness or put all the blame for not making our life of some value,or we may accept whatever that happens to us as the will of God,He somehow seems to be the part of everything.
But tell me if God actually wants you to be depressed in the first place?if we are the children of god then like every parent, God will do anything for us to make us(his children) happy,isn't it?but that is not the case,we see suffering every where.
Let me start with a bit of my life story, i was once a intelligent boy who could only study like it was no tomorrow,was good in maths and had a good academic record until one day,when those talents mattered the most and exactly when on those very things he could have made out a career for himself,he realised that he couldn't study,couldn't do maths like he did nor get the good grades that he always got but there was a perk with this loss ,i was now able to do all those things which actually seemed impossible or what seemed extremely unlikely that i being such a nerd would do them,but which doesn't pay the bill....
So what happens next is as usual, a glory turning to ashes story leading to the same alleys of a counsellor cum doctor and life moved ahead with tremendous pace and now i find myself out of place.
Since then i have tried everything(almost everything) astrologers,wizards,people claiming to talk to spirits,different forms of prayers,different gods and so on but none worked,that's exactly why i am writing this blog.
My problem is just a fraction of what most people in third world countries face where you die just because you have no mosquito net or because you were born under weight and there was no incubator in the health centre to help you live or may be you were a brilliant student but has no food to eat and as such you were forced into the life of gangs or worse you end up being trafficked into some brothels where you are raped mercilessly everyday.
So,now where is HE,if we are His children then why does He allow all this,where is He when a mother dies during labour because there was no medical help nearby,where is He when a person determined to do something worthwhile in life is faced with the rampant corrupt officials who does not let his dreams materialize because he is unable to pay the bribe.
May be He listens but is too busy to respond or He doesn't care or may be He has just created us as a pastime.
Many have claimed to see Him,to hear Him or even being able to interpret the messages He has for us,even we who have seen life through the microscope of tough times feel that may be we have learned what is the meaning of life,the uncertainity of all this world,in precise words the illusion of this life,but as we all know life is full of ironies,its usually when you think that you have cracked the code of life, that life throws you the ultimate surprise by changing the whole set of questions/challenges that confront you and you are again back to square one,that happens because the day we figure out all the workings,patterns and way of life,we will become the ascended one which is actually the ultimate goal of this whole existence but our conscious mind doesnt want us to let that happen,the mind which is always searching for meaning in our day to day activities by analyzing the scenes and situations of everyday and learns from them and since time immemorial have kept us engaged in that learning and evolving machine,thereby giving time the ultimate power.
It is, in fact a reality that human being will evolve with time to be that ascended being but it might take an incredibly long amount of time before you can even have peace of the soul,that looks rediculous as human race as a whole is evolving and millenia after millenia of suffering, slavery and slaughter, not satisfied with all the illusions of the world,humanity is turning itself to the real one,who is untainted by all the illusions although he has created the illusions,who is the love of all loves,to whom every road leads to,one way or the other every road,every painful or pleasurable experience that is subconsciously being recorded is somehow leading us to him,and this new world wants to hasten that evolution through our own way,may be some one is finding him through his dance or her paintings or through serving others or through his/her sports,humanity is marching forward towards the society which every prophet or saviour wanted to mould through his/her teachings.
And,how the world is achieving it ?by being here in the now,living in the now,feeling ,breathing and being eternally present in the now.
If you have any doubts try watching someone intently while she/he is dancing /painting /or playing sports or for that matter reading something,he is in the now and in that now lies the genius creator,man is not meant to evolve into something,evolving means going from here to that point which eventually takes time but how can we evolve for we are already the evolved being,we just have to realise that and that can happen only if you let life to flow through you without analyzing,without judging,without creating any form of resistance,just allowing it to flow through you and you being alive in the moment allowing it to flow and just observing it and when you do that you will suddenly realise that the mental chattering stops and in that silence then the creative force might enter for that silence is the creative force and history has its proofs that a man /woman possessed has done wonderfull things ,spoken in tongues and so on but those gifts should not lure us when the giver of those gifts waits desperately for you,as the bible reading says that seek first for the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all those things shall be added unto you.
He is here as well as there,He is the seen and the unseen,our limited number of words that we as evolving human species have formed are still unable to describe Him as He truly is,"I AM THAT I AM!" rightly mentioned somewhere,He is undefined,incomprehensible,omnipotent,omniscient,,,,,,oh God ! words are really insufficient here.
My speaking here points to the fact that life is meant to be lived not to be analysed and brooded over on your death bed,life is not waiting for that illusive miracle to happen because sometimes that very miracle is you.......
