This is a different post. Most of my posts, I draft it out in Notepad first and then you read it here. This one, straight from the keyboard, no Notepad interface. How different each one of us is. One dreams of becoming a singer, another wants to get into high-end consulting, yet another wants to take up photography full-time. I look at you and think, “How cool she is!” and you look at him and rue, “How cool he is!” and all of us look at her and wonder, “HOW does she stay so cool???!!!” and the really cool one thinks, “How cool am I!”…:-)
This comes from Guruji, ‘The wise celebrate differences; the fools fight over them’.
I am aching for a change and sometimes I get this sneaking feeling that there is a HUGE change going on inside of me. If you think the world is changing beyond anyone’s imagination, take a moment to think of how much YOU are changing every moment. Yes, there is something changing within, like a body of work coming to some kind of a suitable conclusion. Like a painting that finally starts to show the lines of completion. Not completion, but a logical step from where it’ll be another journey. From one stage of perfection to another… If only these journeys were not so puzzling. If only I had the vision to see the perfection all along the way. If only I could feel the light searing my eyelids, burning my back and taking my vision to a new level altogether.
If only I could get that life-changing Sutra, that tiny thread of knowledge that would elevate me. If only I could find where my infinite energy is finding its way towards. I wish I had met Him earlier…

wow… that statement definitely should hit sense into any person..
i have seen myself evolve from what you could call patience personfied into something thats at the other extreme as of today.. sometimes it scares me to think of how drastically this change has come into existence and how it made me a completely different person…
i really dunno why i am ranting all of this out to you.. i guess its just a thought that maybe you’d understand what i am trying to say.. sometimes i feel how i behave, boils down to my genes.. but at other times i am left speechless about the complexity of things

Yeah, we are far more complex than we’d ever know. What a world it is within, it never fails to fascinate me. Age-old impressions, faded memories, voices, visions, fragrances, people, faces – everything stored up inside to form a veritable collage.

You’re not ranting at all…:-) merely being expressive, I mean it!

Eh?
‘The wise celebrate differences; the fools fight over them’.
What about differences of opinion? Agreed, we can’t fight over them, but we don’t always like to celebrate them either. I’m saying, it’s not that simple.

If you try to make it complex, it will get to be like that for sure. Again, that was a contextual statement.
