CHANGE

This greatest reality of life is we are all headed on an unseen journey. We are born to finally one day mingle with the cosmos and be a part of the infinite .The transit journey from seeing the light of the 1st day to the final destination is the scenerio of life.

Yes we all realise that every day actually heralds a possibility of change in everything we possess. Nothing is permanent. Be it our health, relations, position, belongings, assets everything is always vulnerable to the greatest constant in this universe and that’s the law of change.

The being who can soak into this reality and live every day with this consciousness can attain peace in all pursuits.

Today I am in this position which yesterday was someone else’s and tomorrow again some one new will slip into it. That’s the ground reality of life. The illusion that we often get gripped in is the belief of ownership of situations and circumstances.

This feeling of owning, accumulating, securing and hoarding is the cause of all our stress and uncertainties. The fear of losing what we have today often grips the happiness of what we hold. The moment we realise that, the present situation is the blessing I have and the best I can do is live it well.

To roll out pain or sorrow to comrades is an identity of the unfortunate witless. A person who’s indebted for all his chattel can find peace every where.

The sapient realises that vanity, pride and arrogance are baggages that mean heavier to the carrier than anyone else. In the pursuit of a happy life the earlier we nurture humility, empathy and satiety our pleasure of living starts to galore.

The fear of the unseen and the insecurities around what we have is a huge equation of anxiety. Yes, easier said than done, we have to keep reminding ourselves that ” Change is the only constant”.

Everything we hold on to is liable to transit as life itself is always in the process of transition.

On womanhood

It’s best that the concept of gender bias should be allowed to fade away. If each of us reflect within ourselves it’s easy to perceive that there are very few absolute gender dedicated pieces of accomplishments. Woman should not take pride in jobs they imagine are not meant for them. So also chores at home or in office are all equally neuter.

It’s time to realise that except for our biological differences which makes us mothers and men fathers there’s no reason to believe that a woman is in anyway weaker and as such needs a be highlighted or appreciated only because they are competent. Till the day we hang on to such perceptions women can suffer greatly.

I would agree that females often look at things from a different angle. Awareness about aesthetics or emotional sensitivity are commonly more female centric, but it’s important to note that the best creators of fashion and grooming are excelled by men. It’s time for us to seep into the concept that we are in spirit and reality no different from anyone.

Most parents these days teach all life survival skills to every child they nurture. Every child gets to groom with the outlook of their parents up until they develop independent thinking.

It’s a weird concept that there are a section of supposedly enlightened people who blame crimes against women on entirely the male gender’s mindset. The fact is black sheep are in every herd. Whether it’s a man or a woman, it’s time to reflect that most crimes occur out of insanity / imbalance in belief or perceptions. Woman need to be vigilant and men should be morally sound as much as every women. Inspite of that crimes will continue to happen but to wrap up with a belief that all men are the same is actually unfair.

The important message that we should soak into is, women run the same race of life and living today. They have limitations and also skills in various facets but men also have their constraints. To blow the whistle too much in favour of females alone would actually mean we need more focus which is not always assiduous.

So lets live deligently
