Digital Headsup

The more brilliant your mind is, the more likely it will be  negatively exposed to today’s digital platforms. Hence it runs the increased risk of taking higher damage. But if it is properly and thoroughly warned of this issue, it also has the higher probability of not being impacted.

Suffering and Joy are same to the Soul

All souls within all beings quietly rejoice in all of life’s movements, i.e. both joy and suffering. Yes. Because it’s simply here within each to experience all things. Like all the rides in amusement parks; some are fun and some are scary, and some are thrilling, all the more they are all used and present in the park. Most end up riding all kinds of rides.

Truth is the soul sees no difference between one’s joy and suffering. It simply observes experiences the magnitude of both without interference, through its presence within the body. We are only the sensor, our soul is the true experiencer and the god the unknown is the ultimate seer or observer and the final experiencer. This is a difficult truth.

This is realized in a moment or few moments because it is temporary and cannot be permanent. But when you are lucky enough to connect with your soul, in that brief moment you will immediately realize both suffering and joy is immaterial. And there is immense gratitude for your mere existence itself. That is a truly profound realization that can only be remembered after but cannot be continually experienced or sustained.

You can through strict meditation, and in extreme states achieve that reconnection and clarity again. This cannot be taught or formulated down. It can be spoken of like this, poorly! It is a self realization that anyone can attain and it is a true state. But our existential reality is the counter weight to this duality of life and understanding perhaps for good practical reasons of life. I have lot more questions too. I know it sounds ridiculous to conclude suffering and joy are same to the soul. But that’s the learning. Be well. 

Children

Kids. They give me the will to live and the courage to die.

I don’t mean that in a morbid way at all. It’s as though they give a new meaning to an old word.  They take something from you and keep it safe in them. You no longer have the  burden of carrying this unknown thing you carried all this time with you, as they have it safely with them.

I am a father of two now. I get it. Its work, is it rewarding, really I don’t know. Is it worth it? absolutely. I know the world is yet to part its perils and knowledge upon their lives. I know it may not be this way for long. I know they will grow out of us. But their innocence as babies is beautiful. And my love for them will be the same. If god were to come down and show you and me what unbound innocent love and affection is. It’s those little ones in your arms, quietly smiling at you, as though it was an unsung moment of  heaven and earth meeting quietly. Trusting your arms around them as they cuddle their love and innocence upon you. I have never seen god with my eyes, but I have seen them smile and that would do for now.
