Divine Comedy

Oh come on, you know me better than that. That title is just really catchy, so I had to use something that will catch your attention. It’s just my way of making you want to click the link…

In the midst of massive instability I was told that a content life was a life that has peace in it. I obviously like most times disagree with that notion; I think peace is subjective to a person’s needs, perception and ambitions. I’ve reviewed the literature on positive psychology, some metaphysics and a lot of self help but the fact remains when your dealt a sorry hand you need to find a way to deal with it.

Every day I learn something new, something new about the world, something new about people and something new about myself. Obviously I was just trying to sound philosophical, learning stuff doesn’t change your destiny. Doing stuff changes life. Yes I maybe negative, highly unstable, but I’m trying

I think the problem with most people is that they find it difficult to keep pace with others. And that in turn that’s what causes distortion in relationships. Also the best things in life are never learnt but experienced. Everybody moves through life with a different pace, the slower ones get left behind and the faster ones although ahead of the pack ends up alone. The world we live in is cruel, things at times are beyond our understanding and we spend all our time and energy finding answers which would better be spent embracing the inevitable and moving on.

We unfortunately spend our lives in trying to find the differences between one form of existence and then pretend to dwell on the similarities which make us bigots. The true path can only be found when you pour your entire soul into experiencing the truth. The answers you get are only as good as the questions you ask. And the questions you ask show the kind of person you are. Sometimes asking the right question is the key to Salvation. It’s not the job of mere human to try to decipher the divine plan of things, so you don’t need people telling you what the truth is, you have to find it out for yourself. Whether 3 or 1, is not the question cause to believe something like that you have to give your body and soul to HIM. The mystical thing about faith is that you believe in something that you have never seen.

What people need to do is lead by their actions, the best way to prove a particular point. I’ve been subjugated to many racial slurs and demeaning incidents in my life which lead to make me only stronger. It’s not about making enemies but loving them and teaching them. As each day passes I only get stronger in my will to protect the word. You may not be enjoying, but you are in a position much better than those who are suffering. And secondly the questions you ask hurt me more and more, and I am slowly but surely coming to the point of destruction. One who believes in God can see God in the symbol of a wooden cross. One who knows God sees God in the wood and not the cross. For the man who prays in his heart, the whole world is a church.

Faith

"I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God".

Christmas, this year things just don’t feel the same. At one side there is an abundance of happiness, on the other side the feeling of loss. The fear of the tempest up ahead, but the confidence to deal with it as well, Christmas is such a special time, doesn’t matter if your friends aren’t with you or even if u may have any. I have had an amazing Christmas day, not a one where there is loads of people coming in and out or a party, but spending it with a few loved ones and a lot of good food. This post won’t continue about the aesthetics of Christmas but another very important aspect related to life, Faith.

It’s easy for me to devise a sermon like post for you at the comfort of my house with a reliable Wi-Fi connection and loads of love from my loved ones. But spare a thought for those pure hearted individuals who go through the hardships of surviving a day by challenging life every step of the way. To drive by every signal on your way to a party watching children who should be playing are washing windscreens without proper clothes to shield them from the weather. I can’t even begin to imagine spending my life like that, and I’d like to believe that its faith that gets them through life.

Us as individual are such shallow hypocrites, we pray to God conditionally, if we get what we asked we love him, or else we get into one of those phases where we go away from God. Let’s look at something more superficial, firstly people have bigoted thoughts about casts, you’re from Goa and she’s of south Indian descent. We both are at the bon fire both trying to outdo each other’s group in “partying”. I think when you place so much emphasis on having fun, it’s worth nothing. Life is not only about living but making life worthwhile for others as well. We all have a purpose in life to fulfill, but people are worried about which people they should hang out with so they may have transport to get back from a party. It’s pointless trying to change people’s mind that have corrupted souls and then I’m shallow. I pray that God bring peace and tranquility to those who deserve it, to my friend and brother that God touches him profoundly and give him the strength to fight. I’ll end with a little Sufi tale.

Mullah Nasrudin was sowing seed in his garden. His wife noticed
that the further he went, the faster he sowed.
"Mullah," she called out to him, "why are you scattering the
seed so fast? It would be better to sow it more slowly and carefully."
"I can’t," Nasrudin called back as he rushed by. "There isn’t
much seed left and I want to get the job finished before it runs out."
