Gospel - ஒரு உயிரின் வலி

ஒரு உயிரின் வலி

இனிய காலை ....

வேண்டாம் !!!

ஒரு இனிய மாலை ....

ஏன் இனிய விஷயங்கள் விடியலில் தான் வர வேண்டுமோ ?

ஒரு வேளை சூரியன் இவ்வுலகில் இல்லாவிட்டால்?
நமக்கேது காலையும் - மாலையும்....

இந்த இனிய மாலையில் ஒரு இனிய உயிர் ஜனிக்கிறது.
அந்த உயிர் இந்த பூமியில் முதல் நொடியை அனுபவிக்கிறது

உயிர்கள்
தோன்றும் போது எண்ணங்கள் உருவாக ஆரம்பிக்கிறது.

உயிர் வரும்பொழுது அதனிடத்தில் எந்த எண்ணங்களும் இல்லை.

அல்லது, அதனுள் இருக்கும் எண்ணங்கள் அதற்கு தெரிவதில்லை.

அந்த உயிர் சுவாசிக்கிறது.
அது வாழ ஆரம்பிக்கிறது.

ஏன்,
அது இறக்க ஆரம்பிக்கிறது என கூட சொல்லலாமே?

வேண்டாம்.
அது வாழ ஆரம்பிக்கிறது.

முதல் நாள் - சில விஷயங்களை அறிந்து கொள்கிறது.

அதற்கு வாழ்வதற்கு தேவை, உணவு.
அது தேவையை உணர்ந்து உணவு எடுத்து கொள்கிறது.

ஒரு நாள்.
இரண்டு நாள்.
நான்கு நாட்கள்.
எட்டு நாட்கள்.

அந்த உயிர், அது இருக்கும் இடத்தை நன்கு கண்டு அறிந்து கொள்கிறது.

தேவையான உணவு.
தேவையற்ற எதிரிகள்
அனைத்தையும் அறிகிறது.

தன்னுடன் சில நண்பர்களை உருவாக்கி கொள்கிறது.
தொடர்ந்து வாழ்கிறது.

இன்னும் சில நாட்கள்...... வருடங்கள்....

அது இறக்கும் தருவாயை அடைகிறது.

அப்பொழுது அது நினைத்து பார்க்கிறது.

நான் ஏன் இங்கு வந்தேன்?
இப்பொழுது ஏன் இறக்கிறேன்?
தேவை என்ன?

இங்கு உணவு உண்ண வந்தேனா?
சுவாசிக்க வந்தேனா?
உறவுகளை உருவாக்க வந்தேனா?
இல்லை இந்த உயிரை வளர்க்க மட்டும் தான் வந்தேனா?

ஐயகோ...

ஏன் என்று தெரியாமலே ஒரு காரியத்தை இவ்வளவு நாள் செய்து விட்டேனே?

நண்பர்களை உருவாக்க வந்தேனா?
இல்லை வாரிசுகளை உருவாக்க வந்தேனா?

இனபெருக்கம் செய்ய வந்தேனா?
இல்லை இப்படி இறக்க மட்டும் தான் வந்தேனா?

அப்படி என்றால்,

நான் பிறக்கவும்,
இன்று இப்படி இறக்கவும்,
காரணம் உள்ளதா? இல்லையா?


நான் வரும்போதும், ஒன்றுமே கொண்டு வரவில்லை..

இன்று இறக்கும் போதும் இங்கே நான் சேர்த்து வைத்துள்ள,
உணவு,
உறைவிடம்,
உறவினர்கள்,
உடன்பிறந்தோர்,
வாரிசுகள்,

எனை வாழ்த்தியவர்கள்,
அவர்களின் வாழ்த்துக்கள்,

எனை ஏசியவர்கள்,
இகழ்ந்தவர்கள்,

இல்லாள்,
இனத்தவர்,
நண்பர்கள்,
எதிரிகள்,

எவருமே, எதுவுமே, இப்போது என்னுடன் வர போவது இல்லை.

பிறகு, நான் இங்கே வந்து, வாழ்ந்து இறந்து,
இந்த உலகத்தில் உள்ள அனைத்தையும் பெற முயற்சித்து,
இதனால் என்ன பயன்?

அப்படியெனில்,
இந்த உலகத்தை சேர்ந்த பொருட்கள்
- உண்மை அல்லவே !!

இப்படி ஒரு பொய்யான உலகத்தை வடிவமைத்து, இந்த மாயதோற்றதில் மாட்டி கொள்வதன் காரணம் என்ன?

இந்த உலகத்தில் உள்ள அனைத்தும் மாயை !!

நாம் சந்தோஷம் என நினைப்பதும், துக்கம் என நினைப்பது - நினைவுகளில் தானே?

எல்லாம் மாயை...

இந்த நினைவுகள் எல்லாம் மாயை.... !!!!












Pain of A Soul

A beautiful Morning..

No No!!

A beautiful evening...

Should beautiful things only happen during morning time?
If there was no Sun seen from this earth, would we have a morning or evening?

A beautiful evening and a beautiful human life has come to this earth.

It enjoys its first moment on this earth.

The moment a Soul has come to this earth, thoughts starts flowing.

When the life comes to earth, it doesn't have any thoughts.
Rather, it doesn't realize the thoughts inside it.

It starts breathing.
It starts living.

Or rather, you can say,
It starts dying.

No, let's have it as - It starts Living.

First day, it learns a few things.
It understands that it needs food to survive.
Based on the physical requirements it starts feeding itself.

A day,
then two passes away,
four and then eight days pass by.

The soul understands about the surroundings it lives in.

It identifies the need for food,
it recognizes the threats, its enemies.

Also it creates some friends with it.
Starts living with them.

Gone more days ... and later years..

It nears the final phase - Death.

Now, the soul just recollects its living.

Why I came to this earth?
and Why am going to Die Now?
What was the necessity?

Did i come here to eat food and feed myself?
Or just to do the breathing continuously and stop it one day?

Did i come here to create the relationships with other Souls?
or Did i just come to reside in this physical form, feed it, grow it and then leave it one day?

Oh.... My....

Without knowing why, I have spent such an amount of time?
I have been doing something continuously without knowing the purpose?

Did I come here to create friends?
Or Did I come here to create offspring?

Did I come here just to procreate?
or Did I just come here to Die?

If it is so,
then,
Is there a reason for me to be born here and also to Die here?

I didn't bring anything while I came here.

Now, when am dying, all those I have collected over a period of time, as
Food,
Shelter - My house,
Properties and Assets,
Relatives,
Siblings,
Offspring,
All those who appreciated me,
and all those who depreciated me,
Well wishers,
Wife,
Community members,
Friends,
Enemies

All these are never going to come with me - Now.
Then, what is the point for me to have come and be born, lived, collected so many things towards myself and Die Now Here.

If that is the case, then all those that belong to this world are NOT TRUE.
Why such a world of Maya be designed and made available to you and was trapped in this?

Everything that is in this world is MAYA.

What ever we call as Happiness and Sadness are just present in our Thoughts.

Everything is MAYA.
All these thoughts are MAYA.
Is Death is the only nearest Reality available to Human?
Everything is MAYA.

Just reminded of this - from Bhaja Govindam - By Sri Adi Shankarar

punarapi jananam punarapi maranam
punarapi jananii jathare shayanam
iha samsaare bahudustaare
kripayaa apaare paahi muraare

Born again, death again, birth again to stay in the mother's womb! It is indeed hard to cross this boundless ocean of samsara. Oh Murari! Redeem me through Thy mercy.

kastvam ko.aham kuta aayaatah
kaa me jananii ko me taatah
iti paribhaavaya sarvamasaaram
vishvam tyaktvaa svapna vichaaram

Who are you? Who am I? From where do I come? Who is my mother, who is my father?
Ponder thus, look at everything as essence-less and give up the world as an idle dream.

Managing your ANGER..

A very wrong heading to the blog...

I didn't want to use this as heading but still human mind is like that - say when i say DON'T THINK OF A MONKEY, your mind has to FIRST think a monkey and then has to erase it from the mind to NOT THINK of it. Right?

Human mind is like that. It doesn't like anger. Do you like being angry? No. But still we always don't want to get rid of it but we want to MANAGE it.. Managing something you don't want is stupidity. Right.

Human understanding of their emotions are very limited and by the time a human comprehends any situation the action had been done and the reaction has been received from the surroundings. You will never be able to identify whether you have done an action or just reacted to a situation. Its true for all the actions, say your anger, your sadness, etc. except for Love. Only when a person is in pure state of love, he/she can see the action. It will flow from within. Rest all the actions will be a mere reaction to the surroundings.

When something unlikely happen against your set of expectations created by your mind, you tend to become angry or sad. These are the two immediate possibilities you have. Either you throw your emotion of unlikeliness of the situation/event that has happened just now, to the other people or thing around you as Anger, or you throw that unlikeliness of the situation/event to yourself and become Sad.

Both way you will be hurt. First case, you will be hurt after sometime, that you have hurt other people around you. Second case, you will continue to be hurt coz you are sad.

Only way to get across this is, you have to watch yourself when ever you are in the brink of breaking down. - Am going to break down. What is the reason? Why it is going to happen? What is that i WANT to happen and has not happened?

This WANTING a situation to happen is the root cause of the misery. You WANT something to happen and something else gets happened. Now who is to be blamed for the situation that happened? If at all you had been strong enough to create the situation in the way you WANTed then you will be satisfied. But, isn't it the fact that its YOUR incapability that has led to the failure of your expectations? When you take the responsibility of a failure of your expectation or your WANT, and if you are brilliant enough to handle yourself, then you will not be angry on others, or on yourself or become sad.

You will just SEE that the event has happened and it just did not happen the way you WANTed. So what, I will do it again. You must be able to SEE that the EVENT is HAPPENED. ITS OVER. Now just by expressing your anger on other person or becoming sad means - you have not come out of the situation. THAT EVENT IS NOT OVER IN YOUR MIND. You are still living in the PAST. You STILL carry your dead thoughts. If you are smart enough, you must have the consciousness that the event is over. Now this is next moment. I don't have to react for some dead event.

A smart person doesn't carry dead corpses. He is done with it. He just drops them once they are dead. - RIGHT?


Accepted that there are situations out of your control. But just understand that the time frame, that when you react - say become angry or sad, you can get into that state only after AT LEAST a moment, the event is over. YOU CAN ONLY REACT TO THAT DEAD SITUATION. All your emotions like ANGER, SADNESS are JUST REACTIONS to a finished situation. Only thing to cross it over is - YOU HAVE TO WATCH THAT THE MOMENT IS OVER.

NOW IS NEW MOMENT.

You must be able to say - I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THIS NEW MOMENT BY THINKING ABOUT THE OLD MOMENT.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY LIFE BY THINKING ABOUT THE PAST. Its over. Its dead.

If you are able to see every action as an event- then you will never REACT in your life. Life is to act. Not just a mere reactions to everything around you. There may be many inputs from people, things around you. A WISE man acts. Never reacts. Coz He/She lives in NOW. Past and future are just illusions created by the mind.

NOW IS THE TRUTH.
NOW IS THE LIFE.

LIVE HERE, NOW.
