Death

The only truth of life is Death, it’s so funny that we keep running behind life and hope death never comes to us.

A true winner is a person who can win the ultimate truth of life, which is Death. To win death one has to win birth and re-birth and re-birth in short reincarnation. But the question is how?

Death is the ultimate love of life, death is true, death is God, death is YES and life is NO. Sounds depressing right, but why? Why is truth so depressing? Because we try to run away from it, we feel that our current life is the only thing we have. But remember it's a death world. I believe in the fact that we are all here due to all sinful activities we have done in past or whatever. So keep doing good, you will surely get good, if not here, somewhere.

I believe we are not what we are seen from our body, we are somewhere inside this physical body full of pains, trapped. We just need to discover it. Death is end of life, end of this physical body which means its end of all the trouble and pains. Death should be celebrated.

This obviously does not mean we commit suicide. Imagine a prisoner, going through a punishment of 10 years and breaks the prison to run away after 5 years. He becomes a bigger criminal in the eyes of the law. On the other hand a prisoner going through a punishment of 10 years behaves so nicely that law or court decides to set him free after 8 years. He is free because he accepts his mistakes and serves the law for 8 years. Similarly we are all prisoners in the jail of almighty (you can call him powers of nature or Bhagwan or allah or Christ or gurunanak dev ji, does not matter because he in one and this is truth number 2: D), if we commit suicide, we try to break the prison and become a bigger criminal, but if we serve the almighty by accepting our life, we will accept the mistake and will be free one day.

Again this obviously does not mean that we leave our daily activity and go to the jungle for tapasya :)we are in this jail for a purpose , we need to identify it and complete it. Doing this we will automatically serve the almighty.

But doing this we need to remember not do such things which are crimes in commonsense. Coming back to our jail example the prisoner never breaks the prison but keeps dis obeying the laws of the jail, like keeps troubling others, never works or beats other prisoners etc, he will always stay in a true jail, if he comes out of one jail he will go into another. Similarly if we keep doing the commonsense crime like ego, envy, anger, hatred, do not do our duties, harm others, kill any living thing etc.... we will stay in the jail, will keep changing it though, which is called reincarnation or re-birth :)

Don't know if I got the answer, its a simple thing yet so difficult and complicated. Because we are in this body (cloths of a prisoner) in this world (a Prison), and this body is full of emotions (+ve and -ve).

TRY to think good, try to feel good try to do good and live I said. Death should be celebrated and accepted. Its very difficult but at least we can try.

Marriage

Marriage

Interesting topic eh!!!

This is going to be very honest with no hanky panky words, simple and plain English, may be some errors but considerably understandable I think :)

It has been 3 years since I am married now and I think its time for me to write something about this "marriage stuff". I have always been a person who likes to live with his own terms and condition, to the extent that if I am asked to do something , I would deliberately not do it, just to make that person realize that I am not the one who takes orders. Loosing my mother at an early age, I grew up like a wild Stallion running in a jungle, all credit to my father who made sure that this stallion did not run into something which would have cost his live.

A person always trying to control others, I had no control over myself. During my college days, people used to get scared of me, just because of my body language and facial expressions, which I used to think was so cool. But to be honest now I realize that I was a fool , man that rimed :) and how did this realization happen.... "Marriage".. I know many of you will not agree to that.

During my first job as a fresher I met Deepa. To be honest I was not much attracted to her, but as and when I got to know her and our friendship grew I decided that this is the girl and we got married in about 6 months time.
Pretty short time eh!! How? Why? some other time, this is about Marriage so I will quickly come to the point.

Imagine a wild Stallion chained in a cage, yes that was my condition. Shouting, crying and trying to get out, cut loose. But the good thing is, I am not a wild Stallion, I am not an animal, I am a human. Slowly and gradually I realized that yes, this is what I always wanted, this is the kind of control I was looking for, this is the kind of touch, care I was looking for. My life changed, I realized how stupid it is to show attitude to people, how stupid it is to have an ego. I learnt to accept my mistakes, say sorry which I think is the biggest achievement of my life till date. I learnt the importance of the word patience. Life changed from head to toe.
This is all because of something which I got after Marriage, which probably I was looking for but not able to understand it. That something for which probably I will sacrifice anything (when I say anything I mean it). I can go on and on with this...

In today's world or India to be precise, there are couple of things that I realize :
1) People are too scared to get Married.
2) If they do, they look for divorce straight away.

I will think about the people who live in group 1 later, but for group 2 people, I do have a few lines.
Animals - is the only word that comes to my mind. There is no animal on this earth who sticks to one partner or may be just a few. A person who can't live with 1 person can't live with anyone. Belief, trust, love - they are not just words or expressions, they are to be used practically and they do work trust me.
"In relationship, ego is your worst enemy and surrender is your best friend".
Ego will lead to disaster and well for 1st category people, I will just say that please don't get married until and unless you are 100% sure else you will end up in category 2.
Trust me having a partner is the best thing u can ever get in your life.. (I believe only lucky people could get this feeling!) you can get this feeling only by surrendering your ego...

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
