EXTENDING BOUNDARIES OF LOVE AND COMPASSION




There was an interesting line in the newspaper today why limit this wonderful feeling of love to just one person in a life…why not to spread the arena of this love….why to be compassionate towards near and dear ones or towards people we know personally…why not to extend love and compassion across the continents….
Why not to actually feel that the whole existence belongs to me and I belong to the whole existence…when I know that even a small flutter of a bird makes a difference on the rest of existence….A ripple in water impacts the ocean……rays of sun pierce whatever comes on its way to reach its final destination……or may b goes much further than we know about…….I realize even my thoughts ,forget my actions have an impact on my fellow beings……my immediate environment…may be going much beyond than what I may have the capacity or capability to perceive.
 Almighty has given abundant resources equally to all the parts of Earth for example. Nature of resources may be different, but we all know there is abundance stored the womb of our mother Earth. We have priced the extracts according to our fancy. There no distinction by nature.
As the child grows old he starts getting ideas about his line of control. We see it’s a general tendency of everyone to extend his/ her boundaries of control. This gives a boost to false self image or power, satisfying the ever bloating ego. Whatever other benefits one gets out of increasing one’s area of control, all ultimately runs to feed the false ego…nothing else.
What if all boundaries are erased mentally…then there won’t be need to greedily grab a lion’s share when one doesn’t deserve even an ant’s share…..How much mental peace would be there when there would be no need to accumulate without any sensitivity……All is mine and I belong to all…Definitely as an individual we have a duty towards every single existence…life…
Adopting all mentally in fact benefits self the most…of course one has to responsibly do the specific duties those come with living in a society, still the pressure goes when one mentally accepts that we all co-exist in this beautiful world and nothing is stationary…everything is ever changing…Nothing belongs permanently to anybody…
Then why waste time and energy in falsely creating specific limits…why not to relieve self from this limitation of physical existence…mentally …while still enjoying the sweetest fruit…..The Life.

BASIC PRINCIPLES...LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Our body is one of the most wonderful machine, so intricately and explicitly designed by the Almighty. Its so designed that it can withstand any extreme conditions provided it is first trained for the same. Generally it is tuned automatically to rectify the illness instilled with aging, certain abuse or abnormal lifestyle to an extent.....It is capable to regenerate the healthy tissue where ever required provided it is allowed to .....can heal itself regardless of age, only varying in time factor that it may take.

Then the question arises if its such a self healing machine then why sometimes its unable to revive itself.....Why then we find a certain person perennially sick at very young age as well...why there is existence of chronic disease....Why some people lead major part of their life in disease mode.
 Is there a link between our thought process and health of body and mind.....
 Do the cases of repeated abuse of chemicals of all sort or faulty lifestyle or non-constructive mental disposition give due addition and support to accumulated toxins in the body over the time.

Our body is so designed that it can work wonderfully beyond a hundred years of healthy life.Then why majority of us witness weakness with every passing year.
Why at the age of say thirty or forty more than half of  the teeth are badly affected.
Why there is general muscular loss.....or bone density depletion....

 There is an interesting incident which i would like to share.At the age of probably 10 or 12 while i was reluctant to brush my teeth a second time before sleeping, one fine night my dad said reluctantly... alright never mind that's your choice.He quipped..... most probably life of a human being stretches to say eighty year and if a person doesn't clean her teeth twice a day, the life of teeth will shorten to say a little more than half the years of life of the body. So probably beyond your forties you would end up without some or majority of your original teeth. Although that was just his way to make me understand the need for a proper cleansing.....but it made sense that i have to take care if i want to take fair use from my originals throughout my life.

Now what happens over the years... why our body gets so weak to do its natural process of cleansing.Toxins accumulate making it more weak.Its rather very simple. We have not been taking due care of our body...subjecting it to daily abuse and then reluctantly expect it to work wonders. Sometimes we overwork physically and rather more mentally without a genuine break or with bare minimum rest and sleep  for rejuvenation.....we hardly take time off to take rest physically as well as mentally.

Listen to your body.It definitely tells when we are going overboard. It needs rest to heal to cool down...to heal itself...It needs 6-8 hours sleep daily. It is natural.All birds also go to their nest to take rest. They don't eat after the night fall. They don't party or overwork at night. Dogs don't accept oily spicy food. Plants die with overdose of chemicals. There are numerous examples in nature we can follow and get inspired.

Its not difficult to remain healthy throughout the life. If some people can do that, everyone can also be healthy and cheerful the whole life.Come close to living natural.Be close to nature to strike another inspiring example of healthy natural state of life.Let's learn from nature, feeling abundant celebration with stillness around.

ME......THE GRAND SCRIPTURE

How often i stop to think about myself....my true nature...read my own thoughts...understand my inherent values....my unwavering need which actually moved linear without an impact of time and situation.....

Over the lifetime we read, hear, research umpteen number of varied books, articles, scriptures,spiritual discourses on broad spectrum of life and beyond....follow a daily routine, spending some time of the day as God's time...remembering or praying to God......may be spending as little time which may be not more than a few minutes.Certainly we do follow the ritual.

Our thoughts and actions remain reserved for our physical life most of the time.....uni dimensional. And that physical existence includes our daily ritual of God time also without any serious introspection.Most of the times we are leading our life on a singular plane. Hardly we have time or courage to go beyond that.Following such daily routine we pass whole of our life without even touching the most important scripture of our basic existence......me ...myself.

Why we shy away from the deepest of all words.... me or myself......
Why are we scared of the true or real picture of self.......
Who knows the best about me........
Can it be anybody other than me...myself......

No...not really. As i know myself nobody else can ever get even closer to the farthest periphery of me. Then how can anybody else understand me when nobody else has that close approach to me ..the real me.

Isn't it only me who has access to my true nature....
Isn't it only me who can truly, rationally and successfully analyze myself and nobody else can do that for me.....
Isn't it only me who has to accept myself....for whatever i am...whatever my affinities are towards....whatever positive or negative attributes i possess..

The need is to read myself by me only....understand my approach...my reactions...my quest for this incarnation...
When will i try to understand this grand scripture that is me.... and use the applications of life to comprehend my basic need....................................................
