Enlightenment (Adapt..)

When your mind is liberated your heart floods with compassion: compassion for yourself, for having undergone countless sufferings because you were not yet able to relieve yourself of false views, hatred, ignorance, and anger; and compassion for others because they do not yet see and so are still imprisoned by false views, hatred, and ignorance and continue to create suffering for themselves and for others. Now you look at yourself and at others with the eyes of compassion, like a saint who hears the cry of every creature in the universe and whose voice is the voice of every person who has seen reality in perfect wholeness.

Everyone in this world can be happy. No matter how awful the experience you had as a child, it is all in the past. If you stop replaying in your head the video of the past, you can be happy at any moment. The moment that you are alive, breathing in and out, is the present. If you concentrate on the present, you will be free from suffering.

If you can concentrate on the present, all the things you experienced in the past become valuable assets. Whether you failed in your business, or got hurt by someone, if you take all those things as precious experiences that help you understand your life, they will enable you to deal wisely with whatever comes your way in the future.

You must learn to get in touch with the innermost essence of your being. This true essence is beyond the ego. It is fearless; it is free; it is immune to criticism; it does not fear any challenge. No amount of money or success will solve these basic problems of existence; only intimacy with the Self will bring about true healing! 

star gazing!!

 

Gazing at the stars in the Midnight

Disclosing our secrets, knowing that they'll not talk

wondering if they talk....

they would be the best messangers for introvert Feelings

passing them right from the sky!

For the Lonely souls' they be the therapist

giving Hope to shine in Dark''

If they talk....

All the 2'am talks would be with them, expressing our emotions

But they just Gaze 

with a twinkling smile....

but imagine how wonderful it would be 

if stars could talk?!!!

i wish it could be real.

the serenity surrounding it gave us inner peace a bit and strength

back by shinning in all black......like stars 

all alone in the Dark heaven...

and still shine bright

so,

Let the stars speak by twinkling

and let us gaze together❤💫

 

“Fate’ and ‘coincidence’ are the mythological derivatives authored by those who refuse to see a ‘greater purpose’, because such a conclusion would naturally suggest a ‘Greater Being’.”   

𝖆 𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖊𝖑𝖞 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖍𝖊𝖗 𝕸𝖔𝖔𝖓

    

 A lonely star,

And its lonely moon.

both were Cursed forever,

By a lifeless boon.

The star wanted to share,

His pain, his sorrow...

but the lonely moon was afraid, Although they have been sharing,

a bond profound.

They scream, they cry, they laugh

But make no sound:-)

Then comes the day,

The Sun shines high...

The star and its moon,

Lost, in a corner of the sky❣💫........!!

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT(Dylan Thomas)

Do not go gentle into that good night,

  Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

   Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

   Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

   Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      And you, my father, there on that sad height,

  Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. at close of day;

      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

             

             ~Dylan Thomas, 1951

Wings of Solitude

THOSE WHO FLY ALONE HAVE THE STRONGEST WINGS

"The hardest walk you can make is the walk you make alone, but that is the walk that makes you the strongest.

That is the walk that builds your character the most"

Ever feel lonely even though you have friends?

Emotional Isolation is a psychological state where one has properly functioning social circles but still feels emotionally saperated from others.

Feeling of a lack of connection with friends is mentally paralyzing.

One feels down all the time and does not even know why.

Sophisticated thinkers often find themselves lonely and isolated , not because they were excluded from social groups against their will but because of their mantal make up and circumstantial requirement to choose solitude on their own. Others often consider people like these cold and emotionless but that is not true.

They are capable of great compassion and love but they are victims of their circumstances.

These people due to their overly analytical outlook and objectively assessing behaviour often find themselves in contradictory emotional situations, like when one wants to express how he really feels but on the other hand he also knows for sure that the next person will never understand and then instead of expressing he buries his feelings and chooses to keep it to himself because he doesn't want to be perceived as weak and emotional .They do not find their emotions reasonable and in line with logic so they suppress it.

For people like them only two options are available, they can either be real and be alone, because they know it is very difficult  or maybe even impossible to find others who will understand them, or they can pretend to be someone they are not and try to fit-in and deny that they are actually still alone.

They are emotionally vulnerable and hence they choose solitude to protect themselves from possible exploitation, a natural response embedded in our psyche due to thousands of years of evolution.

There is an innate craving for intimate social-bonds in human psychology and it is a part of our biology.

Self resorted solitude can quickly turn into feelings of rejection and self-worthlessness and even depression when one fails to cope with a solitary lifestyle.

One thing to remember is that solitude is never permanent. What remains permanently is the strength one acquires through self-development. Regardless of the times one has been through, their ability to persevere will define the path of their future.

Being alone can be a curse but it can also be a blessing, it is just a matter of perspective. 

If you are alone as a result of your circumstances then become strong alone. Put in the time required to develop skills and build you repertoire of knowledge and acquire strength to change your circumstances.

Fight till your circumstances are a slave of your actions.

It will not be easy to keep going alone, you will have to suffer setbacks and at times you will have no one to fall back on, but stay strong and keep going.

This walk is hard but the hardest walks lead to the greatest destinations.

Always remember those who fly alone have the strongest wings and those who walk alone have the strongest directions.

I am not saying those who have support are weak and everyone must go at it alone to gain strength.

This is just for those who have fought battles alone, those who have always felt like they don't fit-in, those who have never had support in anything they do.

All of those who feel no one believes in them, you do not need others to believe in you if you believe in yourself.

Everything will be worth it in the end, so do not give in, do not settle and never lower you expectations to fit into the world. You were born to standout and lead and when you will show what you are made of, the right people will show up in your life who will truly understand you and then you will not be alone forever

Breaking the Matrix of Ignorance

Breaking the Matrix of ignorance

Weak men cannot leave the shelter of comforting lies and false hope .

They do not accept the reality of world as it is.

Constant denial of subjectively unpleasant but objective truths of this chaotic and unpredictable world is the greatest sin of mankind.

Objective lookout for knowledge is mentally demanding and discombobulating for those who do not want to leave to their comfortable bubble of fake optimistic philosophy.They do not like to be shown what lies beyond the matrix of this fake, idealistic , made-up reality.

For them ignorance is bliss

Man's natural tendency to put seemingly unrelated but sensually similar things into context, even with a lack of reason, is a characteristic attempt at rationalization, to protect one's self‐image from feeling completely arbitrary.

There is a heavy dependence on unreliable sensory data and a strong preference for simplistic explanations of complicated things.

This sublte-looking flaw of human nature is disastrous in true sense

Trial and error is the only way for someone to reach the truth who does not know how to discover and discern real knowledge from a pool of infinite possible combinations of data and noise.

Unfortunately life is too short for that and some errors can make it even shorter

Our cultural motifs, our educational system, our communications media had failed most of the men miserably

Denial of irrefutable scientific orthodoxies like evolution and advocating the artefacts of pre-scientific era like creationism by a numerically considerable section of population is seriously concerning.

Denialism might look harmless and inconsequential at first sight but it is inevitably dangerous in the long run.

For example, our next generation will definitely pay the price for our denial of upcoming climate change and our reluctance to act properly and accordingly. 

Life will not only be difficult , it will be miserable for them. Even the last few years of our own lives might be miserable and unbearable, if that is what concerns you. 

Sometimes, even immediate negative consequences are seen too as in the case of anti- vaccination movement which resulted in the rise of almost extinct ,preventable diseases like measles in European countries .

Constant degradation of scientific values among general populous is damaging for the future prospects of our civilization , both immediate and far future.

Knowledge is what makes a species immortal as a whole ,connecting generations .

I always gaze upon stars and wonder what went on the minds of our ancestors when they were looking at the same stars and what our descendents will be thinking when they will be looking at those stars .

This sense of connection from the past through the present to the future is oddly assuring and mystically satisfying and yet most fail to stumble upon the real wonders of the world and they indulge in mysticism and pseudoscience to quench their craving for a sense of awe in their lives.

Science is the only glimmer of hope in a world drowning in the darkness of ignorance

Albert Einstein once said:

"All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have."........

 Yes, indeed it is the most precious thing we have in this Matrix of Ignorance

 Memories_

Memories never say goodbye....

We can only stare at our old memories through pictures and texts.

 This turns my eyes into waterfall....reminds me of the days that will never come back!

Memories are soothingly heartening like Sunshine in winters

Memories don't utter lies.....

They only get a bit distant and leaves us with smiles and cries.....but never say goodbye!!

Love to sit in silence 🙃

So, I love to sit in silence ......

There's something about myself that i can't explain to anyone.... despite the fact that the world is always a nice place with people around to lean on!....i know sometime it just hurts hiding one's feelings and pretending to be strong for far too long....but i really don't want to express myself at all in front of anyone; i just want to being alone with my own little world.....being tired all day is just apart of who i am!!🙂

     So I Love to sit in silence❤️ beneath the starry sky drawned in my own thought 💭... listening to those songs which is never mine❤️
