The Crux of Living in Balance

The pain caused as part of our prabdha karma cannot be mostly avoided. Every human being has to go through it. The pain is caused by the emotional swing attached with the events happening in our life. The intensity of pain can be modified depending upon the knowledge level we are living or in other words the perspective with which we see the event. some of us might amplify the pain and other may be able to nullify it. Even though at the higher spiritual level we say that, these are all drama and illusion and nothing is actually happening; while we are going through it, its almost impossible to view with that perspective unless we have woke up.
But the actual problem happens after the event has passed by. The memories which the event had created will start playing in our minds and we will underplay ourselves, lose confidence and find it difficult to get back to our feet and face the life again. This is the suffering attached to the event and its a mind construct working on memories. This is the place we have to apply the knowledge that whatever has happened is a lesson for us and it has passed by. With that knowledge we should strive to stand on foot with the base as love and kindness.We are love and compassion. We might have displaced from the center because of the event and its emotional turbulence, but still the knack of life is to bring back ourselves to our center with the knowledge of life. This is the crux of living in balance. 

Creation is So Perfect

When I start knowing the deeper secrets of life, I am amused by the perfection with which the creation has been done. I just can bow down before the creator or praise the creator with words falling short by seeing a glimpse of the perfection around me. The imperfection we see around in the form of diseases, murder, suffering and what not, is also designed so perfect for perfect reasons. If we breakdown perfection even at the tiniest level also we can see perfection and if we breakdown imperfection even then see perfection at the tiniest level. But it seems that the creator hides lot of secrets about the drama we see, behind the veil so that the actors could never imagine that they are just actors on the stage. Once the actors realize that they are acting, the show is done for him and we say he is awake. He has then moved beyond the dualities and the cycle of birth and death.Oh God...

Who We Are

Who we are is more meaningful than anything we ever do. Who we are represents the frequency at which we are vibrating. Its our energy dimension. Even if we didn't speak a word, even then, the energy has the power to alter the surrounding beings into its higher vibration. In science we may call it resonance. It was said that the energy field of Buddha could be sensed kilometers away. That's the power of energy. 

Faith..

Faith? People often equate it as faith in religion and rituals. But to me, faith is far, far away from religion. Faith starts when we accept some energy beyond our physical dimension. We at a subtle level realize that there is something beyond in intellect; something beyond what we  can grasp through the five sense organs. It does not have much nexus with religion. Religion just offers some guidelines at the lowest level to orient oneself to that higher dimension. It starts from reading scriptures about people who had experiences. Initially our mind will deny their reality and say that they are just fiction. Then similar experiences gets into us and we slowly believe that there is a possibility  of such an experience.  Then we start practicing and start seeking it and mostly fails and fall back many times. Life's experiences takes us more and more inward and slowly the experience start inside us also. Then by the grace of the divine, we fall in that notch of divine orientation and finally merge into that as a water droplet merge into ocean.

If faith stays at the level of concepts and scriptural knowledge without experiences, it can fall like a deck of cards in wind. Faith has to become part of you. Then you have elevated yourself.
