Atheist

A friend of mine whom i like very much has described himself an atheist. It is a word i do not come across during any of my studies.I dont know the thick dogmas which advocates atheism.
          A person who sees with clarity,gives importance to simple reasoning,evaluates things in consonance with its merits and demerits.And a person who believes not illogical things,prophesies &superstitions.Thus far i know about atheism.One thing is sure.An atheist is a person who is very near to spirituality!He is ready to say he knows only things which are knowable.He does not want to keep an account in swiss bank... obscure!with the belief that the mighty bank will take care of him!Believers of God, many a times proudly say they have huge bank balance in Bank of Almighty and the fund will take care of them now and even after death!Strange enough, ones belief contradicts the other ones belief.
               If a person says he knows only the facts around him and not ready to believe more he is in the right path.Because many things about spirituality is belief based,without proof,even false belief is received with acclaim because all believers can believe a lot,many fancies,many stories told to you in childhood.And if you do not believe such things you may feel guilty because you fear, you may face the wrath of God or may not receive the blessings!Any belief is blind,that is why one mans belief is totally against the other ones.So much of hatred and war over belief systems...Fighting for ones belief...fighting for ones own God...They say God is love...That you do not believe...because if God is love we can also love people of other religions..No...Our God is only love & my friends God is hatred.It is like  our sugar is sweet...not my neighbors!Many types of Gods!
        A person who sees this drama from his very birth becomes an atheist...it is not his fault...But....
  
       When an atheist says there is no God or spiritual force he depends too much on his logic&intelligence.And he closes the doors too.Nothing is beyond logic,He is definite.He is correct,God is not someone who can be known by logic.If u depend too much on your logic no chance for God.
   Lord Budha was asked "who is the creator"?He replied "The creator is the creation"Not Two,All in One!
A great macro energy runs...uninterrupted... Without measurements...Even without a beginning or end...Thus our limited logic loses the scope...So atheist closes the door with his own logic intact.
      A formless energy..independent intelligence..updating itself in every fraction of a second..God does not have form..Humans have forms...You will not believe any thing formless...Acharyas depicted Gods in numerous forms...Only for our cognizance..Because we wanted to see to believe...
        If u put form to this great energy the experience part loses..Can you deny the experience of love only because it is formless..Does pain have form?You go beyond the boundary of your body to experience the formless.
          A devotee goes to a church or a person goes to a mosque will feel the same degree of ecstasy and inner peace .For both of them the source is same.Only from the same source identical result comes,Sugar is derived only from sugarcane  anywhere.Thus proving the one and only energy center..Creator is the creation.. !
       Spirituality means awakening the formless spirits in you.Happiness,love,compassion all are formless spirits profusely residing inside you.If these energies are awakened you elevate yourself to a higher level of awareness.These are the products of your soul & you realize the presence of your very soul inside you,nonperishable.You think beyond your body limits,you realize your cosmic connection,you go for, out of body experiences..you realize you are your soul which is oneness with the whole.Then you start expressing ....unexplainable...unfathomable...undemanding.....pure bliss,love&compassion.

Malware!

Narayanan krishnan has been nominated for CNN award for humanitarian activities.He runs a kitchen in chennai giving food to 250 odd mentally retarded people everyday.Great human being!His cause inspires many people.
       The history of mankind reveals sagas of great human beings ,whom by their own selfless acts, became larger than life size images.We look at them with  respect&amazement.For us,they are examples of compassion,last word for virtue etc.Sometimes,we identify our own goodness with theirs...We wish we could change the world!But not courageous enough & we are busy with our own duties too..Slowly we postpone...We end up experiencing the feeling of virtue inside our mind...not  putting anything into practice... We do not start...We identify with great idols...neglecting some simple services to the needy people around us.
        When an incident of corruption happened in our country...we are busy reacting to it...through our conversations...We neglect a small corruption happening near our workplace...it is not my duty...I will react to 2Gs or 3Gs only.Fighting with madness is also madness..You engineer your own mechanism..If affluent persons give a single meal everyday to the starving, the world will sleep without empty stomach!
            The media makes us believe that only the big exists!Think in a big way!...Only big ideas sell..Things are brought in front of you in large size!.When our minds are inspired by great acts we feel a pseudo urge for virtue, losing the sacred inside happiness of any practical action,.however small our action may be.Only if you do something practical you feel the fulfilment..Yes, human beings are hijacked by great ideas in social networks...no practical actions...When Narayanan Krishnan feeds a lot of people ,shall we spare a single meal...at least once in a week?

GOOD FRIDAY.........

When I was a young boy in the 1970s, Jesus was ''unneeso''(infant Jesus) for me. At the time of my first holy communion ,I remember,my elder brother saying,”Build a chair inside your heart for 'unneeso' to sit, by chanting holy japas.”During night I used to repeat japas in large numbers….joyous days....''unneeso'' comes to your heart...I prepared myself.  And came ''unneeso'' with all splendor & joy! I felt as if I got a true friend! Slowly a problem started inside me. Some questions....This friend is not an ordinary one..He is son of God...Any mischievous act I do, my friend will catch ...And 'unneeso' may lose his good opinion about me...And he may quit the chair I built out of holy japas. I thought, as 'unneeso' has already come, now I can reduce the number of japas...But I was afraid ,this guy would notice it...After all God knows everything!

     And after some months I realized that it is not easy to accommodate him any longer...I wanted to do all kinds of naughtiness....And inside my mind an adoration for heroes like Tom Sawyer & Huck started growing. What to do? Slowly my friend 'unneeso' disappeared from my heart. Deep in my heart I knew 'unneeso' did only good things to me...But I was hijacked by these heroes! Before parting, eeso said to me, "If you need me again, I am ready to come and sit in the chair inside your heart". I did not reply.

            After many years I returned to him, I prayed to him, I tried to love him, I visited many a churches to see him, tried those japas to renovate the old chair inside my heart. And I felt Jesus is nowhere near me. It seems that Jesus lived long ago, 2000 odd years! He does not know me. And alas for me, I can’t visualize that 'unneeso' anymore because Jesus has become CHRIST in front of me ,now.

                I felt sad....Suddenly...one day  I remembered the promise which 'unneeso' had made, "If you need me...."I became enthusiastic again....I could hear Jesus saying "do not try to love me, love your neighbor first ...

I tried to love my neighbor...my pet animals...trees...people irrespective of cast, creed and religion...I started feeling the sweetness of love....the ecstasy of being loved.....I started experiencing Christ....Today morning I got an SMS from my friend: ‘It was not the nails that kept Jesus on the cross! But his love for u &  me!’

Tension

I was born in a village, vakakkad,near pala.During my primary school days the village has no electricity nor any bus service.Only mud road,two kilo meters walk to the bus stop.From 5th standard onwards i used to walk two kilo meters in the morning to school ,two each during noon time to take lunch and the return after the class ,total 8 kilo meters!Still life was such intense,joyful&complete in every sense.No hesitation,guests were treated sumptuously,no dearth for water in bath rooms,no hue&cry over washing and ironing clothes,(iron box charcoal equipped,energy saver&green earth!)The very air is not familiar with words like tension,stress,energy,synergy,best,worst etc.idiotic words!No best at that time,because we do not compare.Life in its totality with all purity.Nature gives you rain,wind &heat in time incorruptibly.
                          The other day a power cut happened, half an hour. It appeared like the world was going to end.I was wondering what would happen to us if a power failure happens for a week! We are successful in creating  more   comfort&convenience in this world&our standard of life increased ,no doubt.Our degree of physical pleasure also come up.We become more modern,sophisticated ,technically perfect.For a moment we think we control the life itself.Yes, modern man changed the destiny of mankind a lot.Inventions and discoveries in almost all fields of activities,though costing heavily to the planet earth.
                                        It appears strange that in spite of all these  the graph of tension rises day by day in our life.Human beings are tantalized by fear of future or fear of tomorrow.We wake up with fear,because we are filled with thoughts of insecurity.We do not trust anybody,we are too much logical.Anything our mind receives only after judging and analyzing thoroughly.We are not secure inside,as a result we are in search of security outside.We make all kinds of protective measures around us thinking that we are secure to that extent.A phone rings!We are tensed.Who is calling, ?what is the message?We forget that security is a feeling happening inside&and the more we try to secure us by correcting outside the more we are away from inside.If you are away from the work place how can you improve the situation there?
         Now modern management experts say tension is inevitable. Accept tension &worry& we pass those stress which we get from higher authorities,they say.If everything goes smooth & you are happy,they will not allow you  to  be happy.They say tomorrow things will change& start  worrying now! Any happiness is complacence for them.And any complacency is laziness for them.They misinterpret that only if you are tensed you will work.They show urgency&impatience in their body language.And by believing so, they also become hyper tensed.Now in meetings the routine question is"Any body wants tea with sugar?(not without sugar).Sweet thirties!
        Human beings are always thinking about their future.What will happen& what can happen?Two main thoughts.What will happen is the anxiety part &what can happen is our expectation about future.Worrying&dreaming.The strange part about thoughts is that it is completely unconnected.For example within a given 30 minutes of time you may have more than 100 thoughts which are not interconnected.Yes! Your thoughts are not yours!Only thing is that, it is happening inside you .The steering of your vehicle is not in your hands.Still you are getting caught  with your thoughts which fools you constantly...
      What is tension?it is a thought about the past,mostly about a bad thing happened  in the past or thought about your future .Both these thoughts you carry in the present is called tension.For eg:You have an assignment to do in the next week,you always think about it&fear about its successful completion.Actually the success of the task is no way connected to your unwanted thinking about it continuously.If at all the task fails you have to be tensed then only.Why you drag that tension?
               Thoughts are like uninvited visitors to our house.Suppose such visitors come in large numbers,can we able to feed them?Even our own privacy will be hindered.Just as our visitors have many purposes,our thoughts accompany many emotions too.We pay our full attention to these thoughts because we think we own it.Have you noticed ever that, some days you wake up in low mood or jittery for no reason at all.Just a bad thought hits you!Thats why the tension.You are a victim of your thoughts!Any thing which you do not have control is not yours.Your thoughts are not yours& the resultant emotions are also not yours!
Disrespect your thoughts,deliberately....You can see the effect of unwanted thoughts slowly dwindles in you.Your inner chattering gets reduced....You r getting free from tension...you live in the present!
 A work out: Just write in a paper any tensed thoughts happening during an hour.Read this paper after two days.You yourself will realize the fallacy of of such thoughts&you become cautious handling with your thoughts.

When u lov,you see your lover as God.His words,his presence,his smile etc energizes you.you feel you are in heaven!Your eyes see only beautiful things.your birth becomes meaningful.your existence is gifted.your nights are full of dreams!your attention is focused towards the lover.you are always thinking about him.And that is the first advantage of love.you are getting rid of other thoughts.its like a worship.A great chance for lovers to experience oneness.but lovers do not use this..they misunderstand love as something which you get from the other..no.love is the search of your mind to get good from the other.initially you are satisfied with the receipt of goodness from the other,but,your mind is searching goodness outside also.it is searching for perfection.slowly your mind is bored of the goodness of your lover and it misunderstands that he is not loving you.you lose the oneness.you complaint hat your lover does not love you.
use love as a great opportunity to center your mind by dropping your lover's physical form at least for some days,.how?you loved his good,not him.if you drop his form your mind becomes still and you realize true love. you are not the search engine for love,but you are true love.you do not total the receipts of love.you will not be hurt if your lover does not return the love back because you realize love is not a give&take or exchange .its a blessed situation in which you are in!will you search ac rooms if you are in ooty?no.you realize you are pure love!

Of Love&Friendship....Victor Writes....
love is the sweetest emotion of inclusiveness.A lover tries to include the other one for his emotional fulfillment.He wants the other person with him for completeness..And you lov...you part with..You lov.. you part with..Why?Because you loved his good.His/Her beauty..loving nature..intelligence...other qualities.You can not end your search even after you become a lover.Your mind again & again search for more beauties and more goodness and more love.Its like you include & part with..No one can include the other continously and completely.(Because you are not including the other but his good things only).Your mind needs more perfection..you are in search.Love is only the vehicle not destination.The yearning for lov more &more is nothing but your search for the destination .We misunderstand it as the destination..We enter the vehicle but alight in a stop which is not the destination.The destination is pure oneness with the existence which you cant part with..because once you reach there you are in union..absolutely...you can not search further..because you have included the whole inside you..then why search outside? A linen can have whiteness upto the whiteness of its yarn only...Then the lov starts in you...suddenly...you touch the soul of love...Eternal love..

compassion

The word compassion means showing kindness to the poor people,giving
food and clothes to them and helping them.A person close to you is in need of money.Urgently we people coming forward to help that person is another form of compassion.A visit to a patient is also an act of kindness.All the charitable institutions show and practice this very idea.Some charitable organizations grow faster than anything because people believe that any act of kindness will fetch them well being.
I think what is described above is only the minimum form of compassion .Because a poor person may come up financially within a short time,if he wants.Even ailments can be cured with proper treatment.Again and again social service organizations project poverty and diseases-the main curses of the present world. I fear if both of these are eradicated many a ones becomes jobless!
Showing kindness to the words and acts of your fellow being is real compassion .Because, our mind reacts to outside happenings continuously.If a person talks to you angrily the mechanism in you takes the angry part inside you to react with him.And a war starts! World war!!But if you can realize that the person who appears in front of you is essentially you yourself and his emotional part is excited a little bit, you can contain your mind from taking the same weapon.Realizing your well handling the situation, his very inner mind will beg a pardon for his own thoughtless acts ,even though he may not say it openly.Mind is a strange gamer. Sometimes it makes you turbulent for a reason,sometimes the same reason, it does not react to!If we analyze a little deeper, we see that we are the victims of our minds' play!Mind fools us always!Mind is intelligent, it rules you..takes you away outside and throw you in difficult situations..Then it is your duty to come back to normalcy..once you came back you can see that what had happened was only ten per cent reality and 90 per cent unwanted emotional projections.
Your mind is made up of all the mass of conditioned ideas which you gathered right from your childhood.So you fight for those stored ideas,beliefs etc.Ideas are ever changing but you cant adjust to that and you try to oust those which will confront with your stored ones.That's why generation gap occurs in its dangerous form.Life is manifesting in forms so differently.You be a spectator reflecting the enormous diversity happening around you, not reacting at all.Then you can experience the beauty of life!
