Two Realities
We have two realities in our life; one is what others think about us? And the other is what we actually are? We need to make constant endeavor to connect to our real self - our inner core. This is a place where there is no hidden agenda, darkness, pretention, greed, selfishness, ambiguity and illusion. There is only light, tranquility, truth, peace, relaxation, gratitude and clarity.
We are, witnessing the worst mad rat race of our times, running after material possessions and in the process we are knowingly and unknowingly losing out on
1. Peace of Mind; Because of the perpetual anxiety to achieve our material goals, we are in a constant state of tension, a mental state marked by the absence of lightness and relaxation, causing us to feel irritated even at the slightest provocation. Need any evidence, just watch the traffic on the road and see how people express their growing frustration in the form of road rage culminating in heated exchange and violence in extreme cases.
2. Health; Such high stress levels tax our physical bodies beyond the permissible healthy limits ,there by letting abnormality and dysfunction creep into our lives. These can be in the form of one or more of these abnormalities including but not limited to high blood pressure, nervous stroke, insomnia, diabetes, digestive disorders, kidney & liver diseases and in extreme cases this can even result in, sometimes fatal cardiac arrest, leading to an end of the race called life before the finish line.
3. Our Innocence; We have become so fast paced that we have hurriedly past left our innocence, where we look at one another as well as ,each and every thing with suspicion and doubt. We have trained our minds to always see an ulterior motive even behind the best intentions. This is correctly so the result of our own doing where we have mastered the craft called deception of almost everybody around us. Since we measure the world with our own yardstick, we always look at others in the light of distrust and disbelief. This has made us sacrifice our openness to confide in others and be a confidante, making us long for true friendship and companionship. Neither we become true friend of others nor are we able to make others are true friends, making us even lonelier, with only heartbreaking silence to hear the echoes of our own cries in the times of trial and tribulations.
4. Our Family Relationships; We have lost touch with ourselves and in the process we have forgotten what do we really want from our lives. Our behaviors are not in line with our deep rooted values. Not because we want it to be this way but because we are not aware of our values, not because we don't want to know our values but because nobody has ever taught about the correct way to know our true values. Even when we are aware of our values we are not able to align our behavior with these values because we are not trained to teach our selves the right behavior. What we are taught is the spontaneous reaction to the provocations thrown at us by the other people or the behavior of going after our passions, which are characterized by the lust & greed, constantly steering us away and not letting us behave in conformity with our values
5. Inappropriate Role Models; This malady is further catapulted in the form of getting adopted by the other innocent people , because they have seen only the glimpse of the material possessions and not knowing anything about the dark facts and struggles which are internal to our selves. Thus their falling prey and victim to this trap and the tradition is continued. The solution to this problem may not be near at hand. But a good intention can open new doors of learning causing paradigm shift with the generations and letting them decide for their own good about what do they really want from life and then go after it with full dedication and commitment.
God Bless
