The Overrated Existence!

We often find ourselves quizzing over the Meaning of Life.The mammoth creating this thought has burdened mankind for as long as we can remember, while the reality seems to be swiftly floating around, aimlessly…unacknowledged!

With the evolution came the need to compartmentalize our existence. Age,Stage ,Success & Happiness were all defined by some as per their need for existence, read power !

BLACK OR WHITE :

Deep lines are circled around the concept of right or wrong ,depleting the society of its colours.Everything was either black or white !!!

“What is chaos for the fly, is home to the spider”!

Who then gets to decide what is right or wrong ?

While trying to choose from the sanctioned colours of the society’s spectrum,too scared to play with the colours in between,to fill in colours in their own canvas of life .The herd is born !

The herd is easier to control!!!

Struggling,confused is the overated concept of black & white, while life happens ,wrapped up in the rainbow of experiences.

AGE

Another lame attempt at crippling the human existence by the so called exponents of society to clip the wings that adorn their dreams to fly. You take his dreams away ,you tie him down .

As they say ,” Without dreams life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly “!

Age is just a number not a deciding factor in what and when to Achieve. some may not be ready at the given time – span ,so once past that you lose your chance to do what your heart desires the most.Is that even justified to say the least?

Some may not have had the opportunity , the resources or even may not have been ready ,mentally …you take the very reason of his existence away by slamming a seal of an ‘expiry date’.

STAGE OF LIFE

You are at a certain stage of your life , you are supposed to behave in a particular manner.How many of us have heard this at least once in our lifetime?

You may be at this stage involuntarily, pushed or coerced into being someone you are not ! You are You ,how do you find yourself whilst the society is busy pushing you back into the herd?How would you then stray away from the cattle crowd and find your own path for each time you try ,you are whipped back into the suffocation.

Taking the road less travelled is seen as a threat by the ones who lack imagination.They will go all out to block your path that lead to the land of your dreams.

SUCCESS

Aha ! another overrated & misconstrued concept that has taken away more lives than one can possibly imagine.

How do you define Success? It tastes totally different on different palates.No,but wait! The heads ( of society) are watching ,ears plastered on your soul ,keen to hear not the heartbeats but the tinkling of coins collected in your kitty!

Collected a few : Rejected!

Bags full : You are the real Hero !!!

Money is directly proportional to your sucess as accepted by society .

You may have built solid foundations in coexistence , earned Love & respect,collected Blessings on the way .As you walk the dream path ,a dirt road paved with honesty,hardwork and sheer determination all that is left to accompany you is a fragile shadow.

You may then stop to ponder, ‘why the lonesome quest’?

Your name was never tattoed on the cold conscience of society unless you were loaded with the fake, blinding disillusionment of materialistic bounty that leaves you EMPTY!

HAPPINESS

“The long unending journey to find what was within “!

You try to fit in one shoe for all… it pinches!If only each one was allowed to choose his own course ,putting one foot after the other,slowly but surely getting a better understanding at what lies ahead.

Humans loiter half of their lives wearing the rose tinted glasses only to be poked and pierced by the thorns of reality falling hard from the pedestal of their own expectations called Life!

She never said she gonna be easy ,one must read the difficult chapters as one does the easy ones.

Age,stage,success are the equations so distorted ,that breaking the walls to find true happiness is the biggest struggle of mankind.

Happiness comes with the knowledge that its okay to break the stereotypes.Its okay to take the road less travelled, to get up at any age or stage of life and take the leap!

Happiness is the aura around the soul that is in total harmony with the deepest desire of finding its true calling and getting closer to the real Me in the equation of who truly we are and the journey where this ME merges into the supreme power… The Paramatma !

THIS IS SUCCESS ,My friend !!!

Expectations Or Emptiness!

“Expectation is the root of all heartache ” said William Shakespeare or rather he meant  Expectation roots from heartache !

Lets dive a little deeper into the human relationships that weave a web of emotions around its entire existence .

What happens when two people come together, as friends, as family, as lovers…they bond ! Some are chosen while the other’s  are bestowed upon us,either ways a bond is formed.With the passing of time very few sustain.Some are broken ,some dragged, barely breathing . The essence of every human relationship is to provide  emotional security to one another,a sense of belonging ,a team  you travel with in this journey called life.Then why do some connections end up being a  codependent bond where one loses his/ her bearings completely. The loss of individuality stems from the need to feel wanted,loved & nurtured. This need slowly catapults into addiction… addiction for acknowledgement, approval and acceptance ending  into the most unhealthy condition of a human existence. It creates a sense of emptiness, want and a never ending need for the other to fulfill us ,complete us….
This need ,urge ,desire ,the unfulfilled hopes is what we call EXPECTATIONS !

Expectations come in where either of the two people involved are not giving in their  100% to the relationship.

Now let’scheck out a 2nd scenario.

Here again  two people meet and feel an instant pull towards each other.The difference is just this much…the pull remains a constant.
The bond  formed here is in its most organic form, its a soul connect!
 One naturally knows what the other wants…without  having to beg or force it from the other.Its a gradual and unconcious process of one refuelling the other and vice versa ,an osmosis of pure love floating from one human form into the other. It is a continous process of an untiring  commitment where the two halves of the same key graviate towards each other to open the lock  , beneath which the universe hides their share.

The exchange of energy is uninterrupted and the human form remains undented &  hence forming a perfect circle ! The heart is gushing with love,pumping life and joy into the relationship.
The people involved nurture each other with mutual respect,admiration and work hand in glove towards a common goal.This unwavering support for each other becomes the backbone of their allaince built on a strong foundation of trust, honesty and respect !


So EXPECTATIONS arise from the feeling of ‘LACK ‘,the lack  of the aforementioned value system which creates codependency,emptiness ,loss of dignity  which are synonyms to a broken heart with dashed desires.

Where their is a dissatisfied  heart there is Expectation.

  When the heart is honoured  there is Gratitude
                                           &

When there is a Dissatisfied heart…there are Expectations!

So now we can  safely conclude :

Expectation roots from  heartache !!!
