live life the way you want , no mores!

whether you are a hindu or not ,but this "view of reality" will get down your mental throught wiht ease.Human taste for life have been put in three brackets : satvik (subtler one) Rajvik (passionate) tamsik (love for mirk)
what is point in rallying with with something that is "so well known" at least in india ; there is stage when you know something as just other piece of information ,then there is stage when you find it a usefull piece of information and a stage comes when you realize this is what they call "reality" .Yes this reality is slowly but steadly dawning on me .At this stage where you know that "somethig" that was just a common piece of information ,is worth more than anything else;you are forced to again enunciate same thing that has been said through the ages.

Holest of holly " Bagvat Geeta"-most sacred book to hindus,says don't get moved , whatever taste of life you come into , don't yearn for something that you feel is better and don't feel dejected and done .so, whether you live life in subtler sence ,or you live life of passion or you love to be in mirk ,don't ever detest your self .My desire and goal is to live "subtle" life but i do get love for mirk and do fall in mirk ,where i feel there is no point in living any thing else , but it passes and i feel regret for lossing my focus for not being able to stick to my resolve to live "subtler" life ,i feel crestfallen then again i go near to living life passionately and agin i regret for my digress.Of late it has come to me that ,one shhould never commit oneself to follow particular path ,but one should strive for higher objectives " abstinenace " -does not mean to me renouncing from some activity but a full control at onset of yearning for any activity," patience" and "compassion" , with these things in mind one does not need to worry about phases through which he passes .we in hinduism believe that "no moment of ours goes without doing

anything ,influenced by dominant apects of "prakrati" we choose our activity"- Natrure is most close word for "Prakrati" ,here we mean by nature the energies that make this universe look the way it is . So, we will be infleunced ,motivated and expolited by thses dominant energies of Nature, but ,if our resolve is sincere and pure we don't need to give a damn, whether i love to play in mirk or i want passion to rule my life.well , i find "subtler" mode of life attractive ,but if you find anyother aspect of life attractive , don't feel detested ,beacuse when you realize the transitory and energyless nature of living life in these modes you will develop "love " for livng life in "subtler sence. I konw ,if i go by those strict "guidelines " of so called religion-preachers, i am "sinner" but if i go by " Bhagvat geeta" i am aspirant for truth that onley makes me "pure" one . By purity i dont't mean the way i am living my life ,but my dsire to be pure.once your desire to live life full of energy you are established in this cycle of life. Being full of energy does't not mean you have to be worrier or something , you are full of energy when you are able to do any activity with full attachment and concentration , and joy of doing every activity (whether Good or Bad) is in this mode, is more than thousand joys of acheiving some thing you have yearned for long.
A famous indian saint "Sawami Vevakananda, said" Know any thing that makes you energetic mentally is life and that saps you mental virility is death”.Other point that makes your life a totally established is when you are able to live life with conviction ,whater you doing do it with conviction and be responsible for wahtever you did.i myself am struglling to live all my dealings with conviction.
so, all you folkes , who visit this blog....feel happy and joyous for you are pure , no matter what phases you pass while living this life if you have desire to be pure and conviction for what you did, are doing you are better off than people giving sermon in Vatican.i am not sure ,whether i made point in writing this post , but i am sure it should guide others like me who are struglling for life full of scent

Relation ship statistics and dynamiscs

.....(devoted to my friend)
For these 9 years till my 26th birthday, I tried to figure out, am I a complex character or this life is so complex to make you assume that complexity lies in you. Though, life devoid of human interaction is a simple and joy- full expression of nature. No. I don’t mean that all human interaction or relations are banal expression in general.
Ever wondered why some great saints lived there life in harmony while amidst the field of human relationships; I am not contradicting any thing may here I am not putting my point through…i feel if you don’t give a spiritual dimension to relationship with other human being than that relation ship turns trite at sometime and before it looses its charm it is not always source of harmony-internal calm. To give spiritual dimension to relationship, by that, I don’t mean to maintain a relationship in accordance with religious principles; they can be guiding
lights or some time the whole reality; but it should be the personal endeavor of every human being to find spiritual edge to relationship.

Spiritual edge to relationship is a broad term, but, put it in short, it is to maintain the beauty in relationship that is a source of personal harmony. Why the most marriages become boring after few years of marriage, why does
people leave alone their older parents (old family) and prefer to live with their new family, reason is obvious relations loose attractiveness that it used to have.

So, why the hell am I pointing these issues, every body knows these things that we move on with relationships if they are not permanent, that doesn’t bother you; then what is the issue. But life is circle if you are young now you will be old also,, you can get married again but not for ever , at sometime one has to realize relationships are not to be based on attractiveness but something more subtler than that I call spiritual basis of relationship . Two persons can be friends because they like each other for each other’s qualities they have some common interests but that is not enough to for relationship to be a source of happiness always, well if there is a element of mutual respect between two persons a relationship make become more meaning full, but still it would lack a spiritual touch; To incorporate spiritual touch in relationship it is mandatory to remain
Un- attached in relationship, then relationship would not be based on attraction. Un-attached doesn’t not mean not to care about other person, well here also it is individual choice how you define un-attachment .So, if there is love
and un-attachment in relationship, it will last for ever, may be you will live far away from your friend never contact him but the joy of such relationship is everlasting and always source of harmony.

Whether I am ambi-vert or introvert I have not been able to figure it out till now , but surely I was more introvert during my adolescent years , that explains why I developed more love for reading books , since I was a science student ,so I read since books, the most ;and also there is an element of awe attached with science . one of my problems have been lack of proper attention to task at hand , that coupled with my character of learning things without proper attention with varying degrees of success- in studies, degree of success was good but in other departments it is bad to worse ; this may explain the person I used to be at some time and ruminants of that personality still very much exit in me.

I always wanted tried to find joy in simple things, but also developed a sense of bracketing myself as “knowledgeable” in relative terms, I never considered myself sophisticated, but I was no bumpkin. But my whole world was shattered when
I was told that I am street smart bumpkin only because I can’t speak there lingo nor do I follow there ways. I am very sensitive to what people label me, particularly so-called “knowledgeable” ones. Well, that combined with my egocentric
nature made me the person I am right now.

Now , back to relationships, although I admit that I myself don’t work in relation ship with spiritual angle consideration, but I always tried to incorporate more and more of this ingredient into my relationship with varying degrees of success,
and in lot of occasions I was misunderstood for my endeavor. But ,in nutshell I am no good than others. But I will keep on trying.

But , what I have been observing with most of relationships, they are based on factor of attractiveness for person with whom you make relationship or if you already are in relationship how involved you will be in relationship will again be
decided by your attraction for other person. Now, attraction could be motivated by other person’s qualities or just because the relationship will benefit you. Well, I don’t say thing there is any thing wrong or right with this basis for starting
relationships. But well if we want to be in harmony with ourselves we need to try to give a spiritual dimension to our relationship no matter what was the motivation for starting the relationship. Well we are not saints so we can’t expect to be absolute in our endeavor for attaching a spiritual touch to relationship. But if we can’t incorporate the minimum amount into a relationship, the we better should call our selves animals rather than human beings…unless you incorporate spiritual dimension in relationship ……bulls competing to mate a healthy cow is no way different from our effort to find a smart and beautiful partner, our abandoning our parents in there old age is no way different from dog stopping visiting
your premises because he is getting more bones from next door,treating other person badly in realtive terms ,in relationship just because you think you have some more important important people around you is analogus to fox's following the lion.
