We all are constantly running for & from something we dont know. We assume we know, we have an aim, a purpose, a destination, a desire, a dream, a hope. We are constantly doing something or the other without actually knowing why. We are running from our selves. We like to keep busy and when the busy-ness or business gets too much, we take a break. Then also we keep active or soon wanna return to 'normal life' from our break.
Nobody likes to rest actually. Nobody wants to truelly relax. We are all scared of DEATH. Though the only thing certain about our life is its end, thats death. Nothing else around us is certain. Our career, friends, family, money, health nothing is in our control. We are fooling ourselves. We need to love our selves more than we do right now. We need to love LIFE. Every moment is passing by with ups or downs and sometimes normal. But it all eventually changes and is over.
People we know are constantly changing and moving towards death. What we are told today, nobody sticks to it even few years, or months, even days & hours sometimes. People either forget or blame external factors. We are not even free to do what we really feel deep in our hearts.
Imagine your death would just put an end to all you have been chasing in one moment. It will all be gone, vanished. You wont even get few spare seconds to undo or redo anything. If you think you are already prepared to face this, then think again.
If you still say yes then sit for 15-30 mins idle. Doing simply nothing. Dont even move your body. Dont even plan or think what you gonna do next. Dont even think all you have done till now in life. Just be fully present in these very moments. Do it for a week and watch the effects. Its like that when we are bed ridden and our body doesnt allow us anything, no talking, no reading, no TV, no music, simply in bed, forced to lie down. How would you deal with that, I know most of us are pretty bad at managing such situations but we neglect it. Like it can never happen to us.
If you say no, you are scared to sit idle, you dont know how to pass time or how to be at halt. Then I seriously suggest start practising today or start preparing today. Its never too late and we are already too late. Sit with your self every day. Dont hate your self so much, stop running ceaselessly. Things are not as important as they look. At least nothing is more important than you. Everything exists for you only because you exist. Otherwise whats the point. Life was not the same 50 years ago and it wont be the same 50 years from now. But life remains life, it goes on for all. Nobody is indispensible. When you will hit the death bed and the doctors tell you, you dont have much time. How crazy it is? Look around, death, illness or legal problems are happening everday in our lives or in the lives of our known ones.
Its very important to love our self. Then only we can love doing what we do and people around us genuinely. But in all this chase and race for acquisition n recognition, we have forgotten our self. Imagine what life would be if there were no phones, tv & vehicles. You will be desperately seeking alternates. Where as we are so self sufficient that we dont need anything external, we can just be with our self. Even if you dont exist for sometime in this world. Nothing would stop, everything would go on. The life of people dependent on us or our works, everything would eventually find a way to move without you.
Life is so beautiful, so is nature and the people around us. We are all sometimes governed by our basic instincts or impulses but thats okay. Eventually there is good in all of us. We all love ourselves at least. Trust me this love for life is addictive. Once you get on this train, you never want to get down. As in the first things that start leaving you is your anger, hate, pain, fatigue, boredom, as you start realising all of these things are valid only for a certain moment and then they are gone. Well the same applies for our momentary happiness or joy. Everything is momentary except for the present moment. There is always a present moment. Which is the best as its always there. In every present moment there is peace, love and bliss. Every second that has passed is gone, its past, its useless and every future moment is still hidden, not yet arrived so stop bothering for it.
I hope we start living life as it is one day being present in every moment and enjoying it.
Good Vanu
