Blog me...curiosity redefined

       We are what we do in our free time. It defines us, isn't it?  In the midst of this hectic life, I suppose what we do during our free time relaxes us, creates us, makes us, and even lives with us. If your job itself is your hobby, congratulations on a happy path ahead. If it is not, then it is our duty that we make sure our hobbies are fulfilling enough to make our lives richer.          Art, in any form, is considered the pinnacle of creativity. If your hobby is to be an artist for an hour a day, then we don't need a doctor for sure. Let the curiosity and imagination go wild in you.      I truly believe each hobby can teach you a skill or two that you can cherish in life. In fact, we truly get to know ourselves when your hobby itself is your passion. The learnings are immense. Imagine creating a world that is so full of life....my fantasy world is defined below: a) Making this earth greener and a happy place by clea...

        I heard that when you are lost, God will find you. In fact the search for ultimate truth, leads us to loose ourselves. The biggest challenge is having the courage to lose ourselves when the whole world around you are after some goals or purpose. Have you tried leading a purposeless life?         Easier said than done, leading a purposeless life is a daunting task by itself. But when the God's design is such that you are led to storm and the only way out is to seek for him or let everything go. I just remembered that not all storms come to disrupt our life, some clear our path as well.       Even in meditation, we all need an object to concentrate initially. Be it your breath, nose-tip or candle light end that becomes an object. As we progress, the meditator, object and the universe becomes one. We lose ourselves and become one with the ultimate consciousness. In the same way, what if we lose ourselves and let be part of...

It is a Japanese technique that helps build a happier lifestyle. But when you ask Isha foundation Sadguru about how to figure your life's purpose. He just laughs and says "we are just a tiny spec in the entire universe and why do you think God has created a purpose for you?" If not, then why are we here for? Just to smile and be happy. We don't have control over our birth and neither do we control our death. Then why the hiccups, struggles, sorrows in between? Its just our creation, as we don't know how to live.    Sounds fascinating when our land had such great spiritual leaders like Buddha and yet we are striving to just survive instead of live. As Buddha says, it is our thoughts that are putting us into the troubles. The irony is we all know the truth, yet struggling to walk th...

         Have you lost your mind? Isn't this something you commonly hear? What is it that we are afraid of? Is it to lose something or the fear of the world criticizing us for being dumb or stupid? The questions are plenty for sure. The answer lies in you and your mindset.          Spiritually speaking there is nothing to lose, don't you think. Every failure is a learning experience, after all we are all born to learn and re-learn until our karma liberates us from being reborn again.          I believe the whole mankind has misunderstood the purpose of our existence. Isn't that the reason why all this sufferings? To me the true purpose of a human being is to do better karma than your previous life until you achieve nirvana. Ha ha...that was easier said than done. Well no harm in at least trying it out, what do you think?          Being positive in this life, you would agree that even ...

      I have always been fascinated with the concept of higher purpose of Human existence. Is it to Immortality or Reproduction? As shown in the movie which I love ' Lucy ', we humans merely exists today. Even our ancestors (Indians, Egyptians, Romans) had discovered more purpose to Human life than what we see today.       Charles Darwin who was once called fool for his 'Theory of Evolution' has probably given more to us than you can even think of. Humans are still evolving making us one of the most primitive existence in this world. We take pleasure in the money we earn, knowledge we gain, love we give & take......such an immaturity to understand that time is the true valued possession we have. Hmmm....interesting to say am still trying to gain more time here. As we consider the true value that Human beings are passing on over the time are the knowledge and the learnings. Is it?      Indian scriptures have more answer to this limitati...

     Philosophically speaking we are here in this world to understand the true purpose of our birth and try to achieve it. If you talk to a Guru, he would say the higher purpose is to attain Nirvana . If you talk to a stock broker, he might say his higher purpose is to own a stock exchange. For a farmer, a huge fertile land. What is your purpose in this life?     Reaching for the stars or just being a happy person or simply helping the poor/needy - whatever you aim for, you can get it. I forgot to add if you believe in it. Belief is the key word.     Let me tell you a big secret. Whatever you aim for in life is achieved faster, when you do it not for yourself but for others. Selflessness if the key here. If you imagine that you are doing this for more people than yourself, your energy would amplify.     My wife has a simple aim in life - to be happy. Isn't that by itself such a nice thing? When she is happy she makes her environment happy...
