no title



Complain n complain...what else have we to do ?

That's one of the most important reasons as to why that cavity with a boneless-rubbery-"pink" (or sometimes white)- saliva producing thing exists .

Why this and why that ? Either we complain about the lack of things or its perfection !

The bigger we grow and the more we learn...The more "immature" and idiotic and biased we become and we lose our purpose and ourselves....and then to gain back all that innocence,understanding and divinity that we once possesed ,we begin this journey of "self-discovery" aka "self- revelation" aka "spiritual- rejuvention"aka"detachment from the world"aka"who am I"aka"where am I going"aka"what is my destiny"aka"I have to climb mount everest"aka.......


WAIT !

I don't mean to offend anyone....but did Buddha actually have to leave his family and sit under the "Bodhgaya" to receive enlightenment ?

Or do people have to wander off to places leaving kith n kin to find salvation.....?

Do we have to fast and pray to see God ?

Don't blame me for all the absurd questions I ask......These questions were inspired by two ,probably,five year olds.....who were dumb n deaf !
I saw them in the bus today .

I wondered if they even knew that they were differentially abled(I don't like the word handicapped !) or why they had to wear these "special" kind of instruments or why they went to a "special" kind of school !

They were lost in their play .....tickling and poking and kissing and one holding the hand of the other asking how she was hurt and the explanations expressed with ease !

Did they ever complain that they couln't be understood ?

Did their mother ever complain that she could never be called "mummy" ?

Did they ever complain why they never wore shorts with zips......or shoes without socks ?

Did it hurt ? Did they feel helpless ? Did they cry ?

God alone knows what goes throught the hearts of these little ones ! Incomprehensible by "men".

Here we are trying to understand mokeys and dogs.....what about the enlightenment one could receive from these little ones....

The Bible says it best :"You need to become like a child to enter the kingdom of God"

We were children...pure ,with wholesome perfection and exuding divinity !
Where has it all gone ?

We never lose what we were meant to posses .We only misplace it.....and end up looking
elsewhere ,where we may never find it.....Now,that's only obvious !


GROWN UPS.......When will we ever learn ?

Maybe all Buddha had to do was look into his son....and he would have found enlightenment there too........maybe even faster !
