what if wanting, doing Good is a desire too?

A question propped in my mind probably from seeing the world affairs. And my mental and physical state of helplessness about it all. Nature holds creation and destruction. A volcano when it erupts doesn’t stop for a village or trees. It has a purpose or existence equivalent to anything else of similar magnitude. A lightning strikes wherever the conditions are right for it to strike. Nature presents creation and destruction equally. So why must humanity choose morality? why good is a right choice? In War or conflict there are two sides. Both are right according to them and both are wrong according to the other. So what is good; a relative perspective or is it a moral absolute? How can anyone shamelessly strive for moral absolute when they are ignorant of theirs? Like I eat meat, I also love my pet, how can I have or deserve a moral absolute ? How often do we even retrospectively ask? And does it even matter if good is a baseless choice, a favorable desire, a mathematical higher value but far from an absolute value? what if wanting good is a desire too, an opposing ask?

Mind goes into an inexplicable silence, part fear and part bleak emptiness. Does good matter?

All seekers of truth

All seekers of the great truth have two trials to overcome. 1.Overcome unbearable mental suffering and 2.Overcome unbearable physical pain.

These two will push you to your limits, break you beyond your known limits. Consider yourself lucky if both occur simultaneously. You will at times desire ignorance over truth. Means to numb all the pain and suffering that you are experiencing.

You will be tempted and perhaps even find the average lives lived by so many around you more enjoyable, more manageable.

And yes man can start to seek from comfort, but he will not know the depth he ought to see. But when he journeys from pain, he will know. That is the test, that is the construct to understand the dichotomy of the universe, creation and destruction. Enjoy this truth, yes laugh at your pain, Mortality is greatest equalizer. Marvel at what you conquer. It is the only way to a wholesome understanding. APTTU.

Emotional Ride – Ride light.

In any and every moment you cannot let your memories and emotions from the past grow, weigh on you uncontrollably. This will derail and waste your days. Focus on only the few thoughts of action and movement absolutely required for the moment you are dealing with. Execute without a ton of unnecessary emotion and internal self expression.

Operate with minimal internal baggage. Be nimble with thoughts and emotions first.

Positivity and happiness are conscious intentional choices one makes. You can choose those when you drop the unnecessary bags you carry. Ride light!

Understanding is Not

“Recognizing is not Understanding, and Understanding is not Surrender.”

Let me; Recognizing the concept of god is not the same as understanding the presence of god, here we lose most people, most are unable to discern this. Religions stop many here. And next; Understanding god, god’s presence is not the same as surrendering to god. The hardest. Here we lose all including myself. All Praise to The Unknown, whom others call God.

Your Journey

Your Journey is always alone, but keep good company.

Humanity actually resides in consciousness not in our outward appearances and senses. Because in those we are no different than animals. None at all. We discern life and shape our outlook internally. Even the greatest of relationships between war generals or between lovers has limitations and boundaries that are impossible to overcome. It is bound by the laws of nature. Joy and suffering for instance can transfer without contact, it’s a feeling, a radiating feeling at best. We care, love, feel for others and ourselves. But there is a difference, a degree of separation between the two individuals, there will always be. It cannot be forgotten or ignored, as that lands in ignorance and foolishness. Your pain or joy, your realization or ignorance is ultimately yours alone. You may impact a lot of people, but even in that the greatest impact will always be within you first. knowing this sets truth free yet helps set guardrails. APTTU.

Brilliant and kind is secondary

In purpose and pursuit, being brilliant and kind is secondary, it will get you in but not stay with you. Additionally rather more importantly, one must be committed, intentional, disciplined and courageous. For the path continues to unfold only for those few. The rest add weight than value.

Because in purpose and pursuit it is not the timid who survive, it is the bold, the relentless who do. Who are not afraid of defeat, not afraid of darkness, who raise again and again when they fall, because they have died once already, they are fully committed, they have unwavering rigor, it is they who force the unknown path to yield, to unfold.

The timid and immature who don’t understand this no matter how kind and brilliant will only slow progress, merely can spectate the path forward. For they don’t understand the agony, the struggle from defeat, the pain, the loss that was all suppressed, surpassed, fought within, from which emerges the singular focus of one’s purpose and pursuit. It’s a gnarly process the timid never have the mindset for, they cannot even sample it. The path is never easy, while there is always room for kindness, that doesn’t move things forward. Commitment does, discipline does, intentionality does and the will and courage moves the needle. In this game, Defeat is your best friend who is ready to stay any day and achievement is your lover who keeps moving away.

Be Kind, But be More Disciplined and Intentional. Be Well.

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.

Religions

“Religions are like your mother’s favorite chicken recipe. Each a bit different, but all about the chicken. Yeah, some are vegans.” -KG

Robots with human form and shape

Throughout time, only males desired to create robots with human form and shape. Because males are void of divine motherhood. Before in time, they perfected human forms out of stone that stood still, and now they discovered they can articulate such inanimate limbs for actions. They have resorted to real and virtual humanoids. Woman seldom are inclined to this madness as they carry the power of creation. Designing robots to look like humans is one of the most idiotic natures of mankind. Mankind’s propensity for chaos is an understatement. It’s like he always resorts to pretend play god. he marvels in his accomplishments when he is supposed to marvel at the grandeur of his creator. And like how he continues to defy god, his creations are bound to repeat the same. when you have two hands, you need both hands to worship, holding immature pride in one and god in the other never reaches god the unknown. I seek forgiveness for my simple mind. APTTU.

Here to take, very few are here to give.

Most of us on earth are here to take, very few are here to give. Those few were gods intentional act of kindness. Sit with that for a moment before your uneasy, uncontrollable mind, wanders off to your path of decline. If you wore your ego to read that you might proudly claim you are giver when its unfathomably untrue, or you may question what’s wrong in taking, isn’t that what the rest do?

If you ever connected with your inner being, your soul, it will reveal the truth as always. In anyone’s path, knowledge is revealed first whether with or without ego. Knowledge may allow you a glimpse at God, but it is no where near the infinite. Knowledge is insatiable for many; they build their proud sandcastles upon it only to be wiped in due time. But knowledge that is revealed is finite itself. Many resign to this first pit stop in their journey, simply for their hearts are seeking fame and fortune. Knowledge seeking is no different than our busy screen scrolling or doom scrolling, in fact it is the interior cause to such digital decay in human society. Hence in the past and the present when it came to seeking, out of fear of self or social misguidance; great ones who sought God abandoned fortunes for they knew what was received was finite and meaningless. Human’s hearts’ are like Wells, all were meant to carry the water of hope and truth. But many fall short in their depth, and many run dry too soon. Any one who understands Wells knows, you have to tap into the water bed underneath and there are layers that one must dig to keep the well with water of life. And those few who are here to give, are like that eternal well of hope, they do not care for knowledge or fortunes, they are the reason why flowers blossom. If you are lucky, you may come across one of them. Hold them tight, show them they are loved and you are filled with a duty to honor them, and their life. God will smile. Written by a taker. All praise to the unknown

In a Society

If a society’s core values are vanity and materialism, Good is never good enough.

Everlasting Covenant with God

Sin and suffering is born of man and his deeds, not the unknown (god). We have all heard of this but here’s the thing; Humans chose a degree of separation from god to have dominion on mother earth and the cosmos on his behalf. But humanity as a whole broke the covenant upon creation, in this new found independence. The unknown is like a primordial being for all visible and invisible that provides through the intent of creation. Like a toddler desiring to run away from loving parents unaware that there is no life giving power beyond them, humanity has taken its present path.

It’s up to a few to reinstate the covenant; restore humanity as a whole. However, there are some who indulge, and are accustomed to selfishness in the independence. Those who wish to worship the decaying flesh and pleasure, who have amassed resources in conniving ways for this very worship, be weary as they may abundantly create suffering as it is the shadow of such worship. But in yours or after yours, let there not be dismay but only discipline, caution and gratefulness.

As those who seek to restore the covenant were all inherently empowered to be custodians of this earth and all living beings, and meant to traverse the galaxies. Experience the many realms of creation in their lifetime or through the generations that come because of them. Through you and within you, as per your penance and inner alignment the unknown will always perform miracles, you must be finely attuned to see it all, for they are beautiful gestures of everyday grandeur.

If you have not witnessed such grandeur keep seeking peace from the unknown. Choose to be a river of hope not a just a selfish receptacle. As some of those miracles are meant for you, and some meant for others through you. You will know when you get there. That’s the path ahead. Shared as received, and perhaps this is the elaborate definition of hope and eternal virtue. All praise to the Unknown.

Dads will understand, moms too!- from a dad.

Dads know how messed up it can get out there. Especially the current Dads, they have gone through a great recession, and a pandemic shutdown. No matter what, they will do their best to provide, care for their children. They will sacrifice their needs for their children, their new tribe. Not expecting anything in return, they, day after day pour it out for them. Dads start with a deficit, they know it, they honor motherhood something they can only conceptualize.

In the eyes of Dads; no matter how much their children fall short they are good kids, good sons, good daughters just figuring things out. Kids need the help they can get. So dads give it unconditionally without any expectation of reciprocation. A thanks will do but not expected nor guaranteed they are always okay with that. They teach them to be grateful, not to them, but in life towards people and to god. Why, because they are your budding family fighting against all the odds society throws at them. Something dads know all too well.

Now the same can be said for many people isn’t it? About all the other good dads and moms out there. There are still many, perhaps a lot of good people out there. This is an undeniable fact, there are good people figuring things out like you and me, for their family, for their children, up against odds just going through it all. We can’t ignore them; they are family too. They did nothing wrong. They were just born and life keeps hitting them hard is all. We must take care of them one way or another, cos that’s what dads do, cos that’s what Men do. Humanity can use a little more from us Dads, we may not have the reserve to pour it, but we know to get it done.

Health Math

Improving Health is always an addition and subtraction formula. Never just addition or just subtraction. For example, you cannot take medications and expect everything to get better. Miracle meds beyond antibiotics are a rarity. The lifestyle, diet, exercise and other changes you are committing to equally matters if not more.

Kert Gunasekaran A obedient human’s challenge is this, a sacrifice, a prayer, a commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion are all the stepping stones invented by man to guide, train their inner compass towards the unknow, away from all the other distractions humans have invented from the occupation of mind. But it becomes a distraction when they don’t know where to go and start going in circles. Repetition is never the answer, but there will be some repetition needed for growth. There is circular movement in a spiral. But the path is a spiraling out journey not a circular one, though it feels like you are going in circles, your challenges will grow so will you. But if you keep falling into the monotony of repetition with no growth, it becomes your trap away from the unknown. You will practice sacrifice, prayer, commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion with no avail. This becomes your trap, others may follow you or find you disciplined, even noble but that’s irrelevant. Your covenant is to grow with the unknown not climb social determinants or conformities. That is no true bearing in your inner growth. I have found rich religious fools I despise and poor wise people I embrace with affection.

The Circular movement in a Spiral

A obedient human’s challenge is this, a sacrifice, a prayer, a commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion are all the stepping stones invented by man to guide, train their inner compass towards the unknown, and away from all the other distractions humans have invented from the occupation of mind. But they all become a distraction when they don’t know where to go and start going in circles demanding things and answers. Repetition is never the answer, but there repetition is necessary for growth.

There is circular movement in a spiral. But the path is a spiraling out journey not a circular one, though it feels like you are going in circles, your challenges will grow so will you. But if you keep falling into the monotony of repetition with no growth, it becomes your circular trap away from the unknown. You will practice sacrifice, prayer, commitment, a temple, a statue, a song, a chant, a ceremony, a religion with no avail. This becomes your trap, others may follow you or find you disciplined, even find you noble but that’s irrelevant like fools gold. Your covenant is to grow with the unknown not climb social determinants and tainted conformities. That is no true bearing in your inner growth. I have found rich religious fools I despise and poor wise people I embrace with affection.

The unknown (god) wants nothing from you, no sacrifices, no rituals, no prayers, no commitments, no temples, no statues, no songs, no chants, no ceremonies, no religious frameworks, not even a thanks. For nothing that is humanly possible can near the unknown. But simply be with the unknown, be in the unknown. Allow your heart and mind to be filled with the unknown, the trees have, the birds have, the skies have, mother earth has. Allow yourself to be filled with gratitude, grace and peace, there is guidance there, there will lie a path for you, you will not lead but be lead. I hope you experience it. You will discard you as much as you can, feel the blessing that was always waiting for you, for you doesn’t exist. And that will do. APTTU

Wants nothing from you

Give me hate, I’m used to it

Give me hate, I’m used to it all my life, that I can handle. But please don’t give me kindness, for it’s unbearable, I know not how to reciprocate. Heavy is my guilt to receive such grace, when so many innocent lives depart this earth without an ounce of it. Let my tears enter the ground before my body does. It’s clear to have come without knowing and to leave without knowing that settles the ego. But in between I hope to have tried with conviction to surrender to you unknown. I realize now, nothing I ask matters, nothing I give matters and eternally grateful for everything that was given. A fools peril is life and death its preordained destiny. This fool welcomes all as he welcomes you. APTTU.

Learn to Unlearn

I refrain from few dear ones not because our wavelengths are different, not because they are rude, but they have taken on their fair share of hardships and conformities of life, which has made many a shell around their minds. I withdraw from venturing too far with them as I sense a growing distance, an inner disconnect within them which can easily hurt others around them in their complacent oblivion. See the thing is we all must learn to unlearn, for the ways of the world has a habit of transforming our mind and soul into stone thats rigid and impenetrable. it keeps layering over and over us until we become immovable on its surface. Life when living becomes non-living, this a truth we often ignore for our definition of life is basic animation. It’s far more than that, but due to the majority rule we accept incomplete definition of living. But our ascension will quietly fade away from us no matter how much we fast or pray. While our rigidity may be resourceful for mundane repetitions of our lives, it will rob us of our continued understanding of the universe and the beautiful unknown. We have to be like a river, a river is never at the same place twice. We often talk about growth, change and adaptability. But those are baseless terms and hinge upon the value of unlearning that must occur in your life. Not forgetfulness but intentional discarding of beliefs and practices that was once cherished and celebrated. We must constantly unlearn the things that unknowingly weigh us down, those which do not pass the test of inner alignment anymore, that which perhaps continues to exists in us out of tradition, upbringing or even from the dogma of living. For instance, I laid down the weight of religion from me. The miraculous thing is it made me admire appreciate all the religions, including the one I left on the wayside. I left many aspects of my upbringing such as hierarchal systems, as it too carried despair and desperation on me. I find many dear ones stuck and lost in such conditions. Its not an easy road, I want to unlearn the narrow definition of happiness posed by material society, continuously working on it. Because language has taught us happiness and peace are different when it’s not as one is a pathway and the other a mere reflection. There is so much more to unlearn. what if I told you each language, culture comes to you with a set of invisible rules that you are raised to unknowingly be complaint to. I know not how to convey all this. But I wish to embark you on this important journey of unlearning to free your soul to see the true beauty, the real barriers beyond those that are spoken of. All i can say is Learn to unlearn, then unlearn to learn the unknown . APTTU. I write to rest my heart, for the unknowns perfection forgives my imperfections.

Root

“Flowers will get admired, celebrated and get a lot of buzz, even give people fond memories. Whereas, the dark brown roots will always be ignored, expected to be in dirt, in the dark and dig deep. Thats human fallacy. But when the roots die, the tree falls” – Root. Buddha didn’t just sit under a tree but he sat on top of its roots as its grounded crown prince. Rain or Shine roots are the deep Divine.

curse of maturity

Heres the rub, Your maturity will want to reason with them. Will want to help them see, understand what they are omitting, ignoring. Will want them to know how they were utterly disrespectful. But their immaturity will never be ready for any of this. It’s also why they do what they do what they do. Any attempt to do so will backfire big-time. So you need to have even more maturity to let it all go. Best thing you can do is reduce your footprint in their life, share less, be less, do less. Walk away softly. For your sanity.

Luxury of thoughts

Frequently when I write my thoughts down, I pause to realize how thought is a luxury for so many. Any one who is free to think has an obligation to free many minds to think. This is an innate duty for without it his or her thoughts are useless and mere vanity. I beg to stand apart from such immaturity. selfless Deeds alone bring meaning to such thoughts. APTTU for this luxury of thought and committing my pledge of actions from my thoughts. APTTU.

You answered

You answered, ever since I was a child observing our world I have been disturbed of how there was so much poverty, pain and suffering. Why do we hurt each other, kill each other and ignore each other. You were silent, or rather now I know I was not listening. “All that exists because we obstructed you from existing in our hearts and minds.” Even if nature was unexpectedly harsh, we as humans could have devised things to save innocent lives, but we didn’t. We were mislead by our own immaturity that spreads like wildfire. We being void of you simply carried on and complained, named you to blame you for our ignorance. I’m ashamed and weak. Forgive me and many who realize this with me through these words and their deeds. But I follow this with yet a another ignorant thought, can we fix things now, there is a growing doubt in my heart even in your presence I worry for the future of humanity. Perhaps it is my absence of adequate faith and conviction that seeds this. Forgive me, Nonetheless, I will do what is asked of me, and perhaps it seeds the rest to do whats asked of them to heal this world in your glory so we may speak of your presence in the entire universe. I know other forms wish to see this miracle. Like the hymns inside a cathedral, may the universe reverberate in your presence also through humanity. APTTU.

Friendship

In my mid 40s, I realize- friendship is when you fondly and deeply wish someone the very best life, health and success has to offer, no matter what plight you are in. And if you are that someone, you are quite lucky.

A true warmth

You may have noticed, True love is kind, wisdom and maturity is kind, authentic servant leadership is kind and nurturing. They are like the air you breathe, its always there you don’t often see it, you don’t even think of it much, but you depend on it, you enjoy it, you cannot live without it. Whereas hate, anger, revenge, temptations, consume you like an unstoppable fire, have a death grip on you, until it,not you, is momentarily satisfied. You are someone something else when it consumes you, obscures your clarity, rationale, your self is lost. Hence its so potent overpowering upon others and yourself, you become no different than a raging hammer or a wielding tool, that such presence in you destroys others and your self. It may even be praised by fools, that glory may sit helplessly in its lap. But its futile, they amount to nothing in things that truly matter. Narcissists leave wakes behind because of such a lasting trait masked as relentless selfish ambition. Only a critical self introspection, humility, and a willingness to seek truth, harmony, understanding can liberate one’s self. There will be withdrawals and failures in this journey. As many times as you are cast out of the temple or runaway, always head back, always return as the door is always open with the unknown. APTTU.

Purpose?

The base purpose of life is to experience humaness, and grow in the understanding of its characteristics. Not material consumerism, which is often the way to fill an inner void.

This human journey is never a selective process as we desire it to be. However, we have choice on our reactions, and the attenuation over our next few responses after that and so on.

Death Is Return

Death is Return. – understanding this multidimensional meaning and then gaining acceptance of it is one of the most difficult, emotional and complex thought a human can experience in their lifetime. Its counterintuitive a runaway knowledge. Because its the deliverance of the finite from the infinite. Its the knowledge of closure, departure from thats so dearly loved and attended to. This awareness is a last principle, not a first, implying its an artifact of a conscious journey. This truth mustn’t give joy nor sorrow, but profound peace in knowing of the cycle of life, and the strip down to the nameless soul. What happens, thats later. One does not arrive to this thoughtfully alone but experientially, religion can be a bandaid logic here, for the pious it can even help heal but with misinterpretations of afterlife. Death is return, birth in every sense is Departure (later). Most find it easier to live to ignore, deny, refute and acutely suffer in the absence of this understanding. I’m no exception but…

The completeness of faith in God/Unknown?

picture:afreepic. Acknowledging poverty. thought is a luxury many dont have. ACTTU

Why many cannot come to grips with this and those few who do….well. Regarding faith, you must understand that there cannot be asks, queries and prayers in faith, as it is the complete unquestionable surrender of one’s self. And the truth is; upon that surrender outcomes and experiences become irrelevant. Yes, your suffering if there is one, will become irrelevant. This is also where a religion’s ceiling lies – when it doesn’t lend itself to help mankind surrender in faith. It is also the deepest fallacy of any religion because mankind has instrumentalized it into a transactional concept. we get into this cycle of – I pray for safety, I pray for my family’s wellbeing, I pray for a good career, etc, which the unknown is definitely not about. You See its like this – When the drop enters the ocean whether peacefully or violently once its in, “it” no longer exists, because its the ocean. what come of it or its state is an irrelevant question and discussion, that thought is a selfish deplorable and futile pursuit of self indulgence. But know this -the drop is in the ocean, the drop is now the ocean and the ocean is the drop. All Praise to the UNKNOWN.

about Truth

Only truth can be heard when unspoken, in silence, and can be read without words. Its unstoppable even is subdued temporarily.

Battles

my battles are beyond this world,

Plan to

Dream with Dreamers, Think with Thinkers, Work with Workers, Play with Players, And Lead Like Leaders to make this World a Better Place

God who resides in consciousness

God forgive me, forgive me for this forsaken path that I have taken this far,
Forgive me for I come to you in pain not fear
Forgive me for I am fooled by own and other
But hold me…
Bless me and keep me by your side
Let not the waste take over
Fill me with your purpose
Let me see my vision
Let me fill this earth with your glory
Allow me not to trespass
Let me be nimble to listen to you soft whisper that floats to guide
in those moments where I get lost
Give me your strength to protect the weak
Give me your glory to guide the brave
Give me your wisdom to walk the unsettled
Humble me when I don’t
Forgive me when I foolishly wander
Make me see your light in the day against the perils that sway in me
And your warmth in the night to rest me
Teach me your compassion for it’s the gift of the soul you sown
Accept me as yours
Remove me from the sin I walk in
Embrace me with your love
Allow me, Help me, Guide me to serve you
When the mind tries to go astray, Let your presence in me wake
AWAKEN ME

Awaken 1:1

The knowledge of life and the scarcity of it, among it are many caught in the transformations of reality that sways between pain and joy. It is determination that exceeds them and perseverance to endure through the dark nights and hollow days that enriches the mind and body to weather the unknown. ‘God’ is an infinite word with a limited definition on mediocre minds and unknown rest in the rest. An entity to inflict control upon the prevalent randomness, a fulcrum to open the minds in to the vastness of ones potent. A subdued form to serve the wishes and desires, all in one word. The averages have taken it to poor extremities in forms and concepts, yet even within those one can attain light if one perseveres to seek, and weather his hope to attain pure consciousness. Consciousness is a power word for a powerful existence. An existence in its lighter form can transcend time and moment. In its real form can endure the eternal. Awaken 1:1
