Something Interesting

We as seekers in our lives are in a constant search of the entertainment elixir. Something which pleases our senses has become the sole satisfaction. Soul satisfaction has taken a back seat. Submitting to something else is obviously easier than submitting to oneself. Pondering over the subject, I realise that our purpose of worth on this mother earth has been reduced to finding something interesting.

As I endeavour to write something which could be remotely interesting to anyone reading, I find myself floundering under previously unfound pressures. Trying hard could be so obvious. Greatness always lies in doing the hardest and showing it to be the easiest(and I obviously am no great/fake). I also realise the unworthiness of doing something where your heart doesn't lie.

This is something people more often can relate to (myself included). Our choices were mostly governed by external factors. There wasn't ever any soul seeking as to what we needed, wanted, desired or aspired. Most of us have been running a rat's race and the race too has been that of robotic mice. Remote controlled, remotely thinking about the future impact of present events. The passion should always precede the necessary.

What we ignore is that we get into an inward spiral and not just a wrong track. There's nothing that makes you feel worthier than doing what you believe. Why should pleasing someone else please you more than doing something to please yourself. And of course it doesn't. We have always associated being selfish and stubborn as outrightly negative. Looking at it subjectively, doing what I love,when I love and holding my own ground that this is what I love; could not be held against me. This isn't which does or ever will bother me.

For anyone who read this, I didn't mean to write this for you so I wont like to hear if this wasn't the "something interesting" you were looking for. These are random thoughts that strike my mind and I like to write them down. Not being prophetic, I do like to see the page views growing but that isn't what this seeker seeks. Criticisms are always welcome and a thank you to everyone who did so while I was writing so as to prepare. I find myself satisfied, content, relaxed and pleased with whatever I am doing and have done (specially recently).

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead

India has the largest pool of talented manpower but very few innovations and patented products.

Ancient India was the hub of learning and innovation. India had scholars like Aryabhatta, Charak, Chanakya, and many others. But, with time, that zeal for innovation has faded away due to the constant lack of encouragement from the whole system. Ancient India gave zero to the world, invented chess, developed ayurveda but today not many discoveries take place in India. This lack of innovation is the result of the systemic failure of our society. From school to college to workplace, we are taught and tamed into following the set rules. We are taught to be followers and any attempt to think freely is viewed as dissent. Our society has closed itself to any criticism or corrective evolution. This was quite evident when we saw the introduction of Genetically Modified seeds in India. Every technology has its pros and cons, and we need to encourage the spirit of research and innovation to increase the pros and limit the cons but an outright opposition to anything new will be a hindrance
