The Eternal Living.

The mind is a very funny thing. It keeps on roaming, sometimes here sometimes there. Sometimes in the past, and then into the future. And it more than often manages to keep us in a virtual world. After all, it's all a roller coaster ride that takes place away from the reality.

So, what is this reality all about? When we realize it seems so simple. And yes, reality is of course, very simple. And that's THE NOW. The change we want in our lives can be made only in the now. And if we can see this reality of life, it's just that easy and simple. Yes....?? It appears very obvious. But how many times do we go round and round, going on & on about something that happened in the past? Continuously thrashing our mind in a lost battle trying to change things already happened. And how many times do we keep on worrying about something to come in the future. We see time as a one-dimensional entity, moving on from past to present, then to future. And imagine present to be in between the two. But in reality, there's no life in the past, or in the future. The past is already dead, and the future is still not conceived. The history was only the present in the past, and the future comes to life only as a present.

Once we go beyond these, and start being totally aware every moment, then that is LIFE & that is LIVING. Maybe it's the ability to leave the past, and stop worrying about the future that makes us ETERNAL. The life starts flowing. We can still plan for the future, and learn from the past, but by enjoying everything in the present. In the present they're no worries, no tensions, no guilt, no fear. It's just being. Every moment manifests itself before us. And it's just a flow where everything starts happening instantaneously. You never go after anything in your mind. Life comes to a still. They'll not be that constant urge to become something or to go after something. You realize that you're already everything. And you just need to express it in every moment. And then they'll not be any ordinary moments. Every moment is wonderful and precious. You can feel the manifestation of every moment as the universe changes itself. You become so alert that, you can hear, see, feel everything around you.

There are glimpses of this living in every individual. In different times, there is this FLOW, when things just happen without any interference. When we can do nothing wrong. Everything happens in an automatic mode. Maybe when we're playing, singing, dancing, creating, playing a musical instrument, or anything that we love doing heartily. Maybe because, every being is eternal, and there's no way but to show itself, at least in flashes. We say, we were in a trance or, were totally involved. But, what if life itself flows like that, with such a total involvement and timelessness???

The LITTLE ANGELS

I always had this question lingering in my mind......"Why are we only choosen to be having all that we have?". It's really haunted me to say the least. Everytime I see kids along the roadside, it makes me remember my childhood which was full of colour, lively and lots of love. Being the youngest one in the family, I had all the opportunity to get whatever I wanted. My father always says "You're too much pampered, as you have three dedicated servants at your disposal"...that's him, mom & my elder brother.........We, as children have always had a mind like a clean paper. Ready to write whatever we want. Paint any colours we wish. And dream to become everything on earth. And when I start getting nostalgic and floating into those days........those feelings are suddenly stopped by the little kids infront of me. I don't know whether they ever have the chance to LIVE LIFE ???

It's really scary to even imagine if we were born in such circumstances???? Just a mere thought...and you see how you feel!!! They just have to struggle through the life right from the time they're born. Forget about being pampered, they just don't know what it is to have a sumptous meal, or a comforting sleep. They just have no choice, but to take whatever comes on the way. Just like any other creature, never questioning why they're like that, or what's the way out. They don't even know that there is a way out. At an age, when everything looks like a wonder and miracle for a child, they're forced to experience the realities of life. Feels so painful to go through all these feelings in a moment, and still not been able to change anything of it.

And when there is nothing that we can do at this moment, atleast hope to do things in future. Because, every action, for that matter, every wonderful thing that happened or is happening, started with a thought. And that one thought which is from the heart, has all the potential to manifest itself in this world. What if these little angels cannot dream?? We'll do it for them, and make them the part of our dream of a "wonderful childhood to everybody born". And to dream, we need to be children first. With a SMILE that is so very innocent, pure like a child, that lightens everyone around us. And when we smile, we become children whose world is full of miracles, wonder and is fantastic.

And not just that, now that we've thought about that, Iam sure we'll get a lot of instances wherin we've something to do which can make their lives better. At the end of the day....what we do is what matters. The thought is only the start to the deed.

So let's be children again and dream for these LITTLE ANGELS.....'coz Dreams always Come true.
