lets get metaphysical

hello. i have been meaning to write about this since forever, but i've never really been able to sit down and collect my thoughts. not that i have now (!) but better late than never eh?

so anyway, firstly, god. also referred to as the dude.ultimo dragon. (n) the man.

I think there is a higher power somewhere. i dont know what form he/she/it is in, but  he/she/it is there. When i feel low or down, I try and connect with him, with interesting results.More often than not, i get my answers so we're cool. He manifests himself in most things around us, if only we care to notice. I think one of the most obvious ways to feel this is laughter. In a sense it is so simple, so uncluttered. and yet so divine. I also think he will show me the right path, if I am dutiful enough to read his signs. And act accordingly. he will show me the right door, but I will have to walk through it.

More than god, i think all of us are parts of an all encompassing whole, and when I/we talk of higher beings, it rather relates to a higher consciousness of one's own true self.

one's true self being the soul, that which exists within us. aatman. pronounced not like batman, but along the lines of mahatma. what stay when the body/form reaches its expiry date. i believe my soul already knows and has access to this gyaan, and that it has purposely chosen to shut out/ unlearn that bit and taken this life. It has realised and chosen to to take this life to try and remain in a constant state of happiness. contentment and bliss. param anand. tripti. or better still, santushti. maybe this is my first life. or maybe it is my last. but it seems like it is either of these two. i think i am here to be happy, do good, and to give happiness to others ( if time permits ;) ). i think at this point in my life, im just trying to remain happy, spread joy and take care of the basic nashwar bits for the time being, while i appreciate and try to get a hang of the bigger picture in due time. due time meaning soon enough. i know that i know, that i know that i don't know.

i think we carry the benifits / minuses of our past karmas and are basically playing them out. for instance, if i have been born into a good family, it is due to something good that i did earlier. and vice versa. right now, i feel blessed that my basic needs have been taken care of, wherefore i can take my time and explore a higher purpose. i think i must do good and be good, not just because of metaphysical brownie points, but also because of crossing the minuses. and the fact that doing good is the right thing.On a not so unrelated note, here's a verse that i really like, and to a certain extent believe in:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. 

Anyway, i think there are many people in our current existence, who we might have had a past connection with. you can sense it if you don't clog your head with other little issues of this world. i think it is important to appreciate the same (not just because hisaab khatam karna hai ;) ) to try and figure out its hidden depth.

i think everything happens for a reason.

i cant stress how important it is to share knowledge. or gyaan. i think there is no joy greater than giving. hence i ask thee to give me all your money :P jokes aside, this probably explains why i loved taking up class at ims. i must try and give time to this. and quizzing, but i digress.

i could really go a lot deeper and fill pages on the above vertical, but i think that is beyond the scope of this blog, for now.

But what I will say, is that the answer is out there, and it's looking for you. and it will find you, if you want it to..
