6th March 2023 ‘Bring Back the Reign of The Soul’

Image
शरीर को जो चाहिये वो सब मिल जाएगा | उसकी सुविधा कर के रखी है | पर आत्मा को जो चाहिये उसका क्या ? (What the body needs, it will get. It has been arranged for. But what about what the soul needs?) The soul is the ultimate truth. There are only two options. One, that I be in this body and grapple with the fact that I am a tiny being all alone in this endlessly vast world……. scary? OR…. I am the all-encompassing soul. I am not the body. A very tiny part of me is in this body and in all other bodies subtle or dense. And there is nothing or no one out there except for me. It is boring and a different kind of scary. But the question remains. The body will never suffer. The body is a vehicle, a mere tool for this super power, all encompassing ‘Aatman’. आत्मन , वो उसकी निगा तो रखेगा ही ना! (soul will definitely take care of body) One doesn’t miss use or ill-treat the things one needs. So, the body is all ok and will always be ok, as long as it helps, obeys and cooperates with the soul....

What a bummer!

Today was a bummer, suicide news of Sushant Sing Rajpot has hit hard and still not digested. But I am too scared and also a bit shy to talk about it. why? Because a) everyone will and because b) I really don't know what to say. I saw on tv one of his interviews he showed this big ass telescope he owned. How can someone who meets the stars and the universe up close so often from the comfort of his window be so weak to give up? But then again very often as I have myself gazed at the miracles of the night sky I have desperately wanted to go be amongst them. They say weak people commit suicide. But sometimes I think even wise people commit suicide. I don't know if it is the frivolity, the ever growing pain, or the ignorance of the world that pushes them so far away that silence turns into solitude and solitude quickly turns into withdrawal and withdrawal painfully turns into loneliness and despair.  if you personally ask me, I still find it hard that someone so endearin...

A stranger ‘Uncle’ smiled at me and it brought tears to my eyes.

I like how every elderly seamlessly become an uncle or an aunty in India. Just the other day I was returning from work. I stood at a bus stop, pondering what a beautiful contrast this random bustop of Andheri, Mumbai was. On one side I could see a lush green hill of Mahakali caves, right in front of me. A small foot over bridge coming straight out of the forest and onto the highway, looked like one of those Studio Ghibli charmer, old city features. On the other, there were repair shops; and a lot of dust and dirt blowing in my nose and eyes every time a vehicle passed. If a truck passed my ears had had it too! The bus stop was a single pole with a placard of bus numbers. No safe landing, no shelter. If you bent forward to see which bus was arriving, you could lose your head to a zooming car. There was an old man already waiting there. Short, lean, completely white hair, decently dressed in a light blue shirt, not tucked in. Full sleeves cuffed at the wrist and below khaki pants. He w...
