Shared Ownership

What is a private space or private life? Consider the question in depth.
Can we live in a private world for any length of time?
Can we have every thing that we need in our homes, the so called private domain? If the answer was "Yes", then we need not have to venture out to the school, the market, the club or gym, the church, the hospital or the work place.
Even in the home we share the space with the family and friends. How can we then hold the notion that we can do what we please?
We have to take into consideration the needs and aspirations of others with whom we share the planet earth.
It is necessary and inevitable to understand the idea of shared ownership if we wish to live in peace and harmony, the way our Lord the master made it available to us.
This calls for stillness and silence.

Who is an Atheist?

Who is an atheist?
The usual meaning is one who does not believe in God.
Among the so called believers is there a shared definition of God? No.
So what does an atheist not believe in?
So the real meaning of an atheist is a person who runs down others icons and heroes in a futile bid to show his/her superiority.
That does not mean he/she does not have is own icons and heroes whom he worships fanatically.
I, in my fairly long and eventful life have not come across a single atheist.
They all believe in some thing or the other and have their own icons, which are worshipped beyond reason.
A person without any belief system would be completely lost and cannot have a great time.

Cleaning up the mess

Clutter appears first in the mind. In fact the mind is almost entirely a clutter, a mess. When the mind can't hold it anymore and begins to cause malfunction in mental processes, then the clutter appears on the body and finally in the immediate surroundings at work and/or at home.
The remedial process has to take the opposite direction; last in, first out.
Cleaning up is not throwing away things or pushing them under the carpet. We have to put them back into circulation.
What happens to any one person effects all others too.Let us do the cleaning up together.

Staying Free

My right leg and right hand are not quite under my control since the stroke. They seem to be following another master. The rest of the system too does not seem to be functioning as well as before. I am trying out various things; excercises, accupressure, medicines, herbal remedies etc to improve the condition. It seems to be getting better for a while and then goes back to its own ways. This was disturbing for a while till it dawned on me that this is the way life functions, like a tidal wave, up and down.

The trouble is with our greedy expectations which want to see a constantly rising curve in our favour in the matter of both health and wealth. Towards this end we have developed many sophisticated systems and studies. They are advertised and marketed aggressively and we tend to fall for them. We also join the advertising teams as unpaid volunteers. I was also getting sucked in, in this commercial mayajal.

I have managed with great after to get out of this trap. It calls for continuing effort to say free and live simply.

Life as it comes

What happens to me after I am gone, after I leave this body?

Who knows and who cares?

A lot of speculative stuff is out there in answer to these questions and it is called theology or philosophy or even science. some of it is interesting reading and a lot of it is quite boring. At least I find it so. I have stopped reading or listening to this stuff.

I am busy enjoying life as it comes.
