"Divine Glory" Within-OUR-Reach!

24 Feb 2010  My dear friends,  How was d first day of d week?  Am sure U must be screaming in UR head to answer....  All Mondays R 'just-like-that',  Bcoz i know d sentiments of almost every Monday...  they all r Same!  Very boring n lethargic!    V crib about first days n second days of every week...  But just try n be in d shoes of d people, who work for us...  D maids, d watchmen, d drivers, d sweepers,d errand-boys...  D list is quite long!  They work day-in-an-day-out!  No 5-days-a-week for them,  No week-end-off for them...  But still they work with same enthusiasm...  they work without cribbing...  at least V R not-aware of any!  V Not only just expect them to work,  but with smile-on-their-faces!  Though d fact is slightly bitter but 'true' all-d-same!  There is a new maid working at my house,  since last 6-months...  She has 5 nos of daughters n 1 son!  Obviously d son is youngest of all...  N due to d 'inner greed' of giving birth to a son,  She has ended up in delivering 5 nos of daughters!  when she told me this, i was shocked!  My head was buzzing with hundreds of questions.... R girls any lesser than d boys? R son or sons going to take care of their parents, Any Better than d daughters? If 'No' is d simplest-answer to all such questions, Then why this Gender-based-discrimination? This has got nothing to do with social class or economical-status or education etc of d Not-so-proud-parents.... Bcoz i have witnessed similar happenings, happening irrespective of No-other-similarities as stated above! I have attended many such hyped up functions or ceremonies of d so-called-good-families, 'Celebrating' new-arrival-of-a-son after multiple numbers of daughters! This is typical way-of-thinking of d 'orthodox-family'! At this day-n-age, if V don't try n understand, Our responsibilities as a learned-human-being... Then it is really shameful.... What V need to do is 'think-deeply' n try to educate d lesser-matured persons like my present-maid or even better her husband... Bcoz in a household still d word of husband is treated like a "Command"! N d poor-wife has no-Freedom even to express her views! She has a 'so-called-Right' Only to work-n-earn-for-d-family, N nothing More than that! This again is a fact, slightly bitter but very true, in our present-day-society! Let us have compassion for all-d-beings! Let us Realize that d Heaven is JUST-Within us, V need Not die to 'experience' d "Heavenly-things"! Am sure once V Realize this fact, At Once  all Our Desires will be fulfilled.... All our so-called-Misery-n-d-Suffering will be definitely put to an End! Therefore let us seek Happiness not in the objects of sense! It's high time that V realize that, Happiness is within ourselves... If V R after an object, or if V want to get anything, Let us don't hunt after the shadow... Instead let us, just Touch our own head n Go within us! V will 'Witness' that d stars R just our handiwork, N Nothing more than that! V will see that all the objects of love, All the bewitching and fascinating things R, Simply Our Own Reflection or just a Shadow! N Nothing more than that! V ourselves R standing in the Mid-way, obstructing, Our Own Image! Once V stop asserting 'Duality', That Very Moment, V Rise above Desires and spurn them, then V can be, like semi-Gods, N "Divine Glory" Can be Within-OUR-Reach!                           This is Tima signing off from Mumbai, d city of 'Happenings'               Shlok of d day- Uttishthat Jaagrat Praapya Varaan Nibodhat| Tamevaikam Jaanath Aatmaanam| Swasti Vaha Paaraay Tamasaha Parastaat|| Simple-Meaning of d Shlok- Arise, Awake n Realize d "Self".....   Tip of d day- To Reduce d problems-related-to-Cardiac(i.e.Heart-related), Oral-Hygiene or Cleansing of Mouth-Teeth-Gums is very important, therefore clean them Twice-a-day.
