Desires
…. one can never have enough!!!
One of the source via which human behaviour flows -desires,more like eternal shadows which keen to remain with us right from our birth and grow just the way we do until the end of our journey.
Visionary,desires are like spirits wing’s to great deeds .But then there has always been paradoxical thoughts sweeping the nerves of my frontal lobe:
That one way we say that desires are the basic ingredients for flourishing towards success. At the same time heard of something,like they are the root cause too for all the sufferings.
Let’s put on our thinking caps….
We often fail to create differences among desires and hanker after everything that crosses our mind.
Whilst there are some which are for betterment,enhancing the inner potential within us and eventually leading us towards freedom and enlightenment.
Contrary,others may turn out as a gigantic trap luring us in its vicious circle, and we are seized.
We have always been in a race,right from our existence ; 50 million-1.2 billion sperm cells competing all at once to reach an “impasse”.As time creeps by,hopping up in a rat race.
If we consider the existing state of affairs,we are nowhere but after the heap of currency.And this reminds me of common dictum used by our elders-
“If you dont eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding”(Ofcourse Pink Floyd’s lyrics), which basically means nothing, just an assertion commonly used by parents for their kids to finish their first course of meal before asking for second course.
I try relating it with our lives when we tend to educate ourselves for the condition being ,to reach the another level called as “fruition state”(carried away by whimsical imagery to sleep above the stack of bucks)
Not to blame ourselves though!!!
Dwellers from different economic backgrounds,are we and so is the upbringing.Instead of working on ourselves in order to achieve excellence,we tend to get driven by shortcuts .(Here I talk about ensharing desires)
Unaware of the real world,in a blink of an eye become slaves,dancing to master’s song. If we enlighten ourselves with the truth- we realize that we actually become slaves not by others act but because of our own greeds.
This could be very well depicted by my caught sight of a monkey,when offered a bottle of chickpeas,impetuously put its hand through an orifice,sealing all the beans in its fist and trying to take them out.There it gets entrapped,unable to take out his hand from a narrow slit.Though very well aware of the fact that it could free itself by making the hand free and gently eluding from a trouble.But its greed does not let it open the fist,tending to loose what it desired.(Our situation is more or less the same)
We should learn to practise contentment and an ultimate goal should be- being completely independent and to acquire absolute freedom which ultimately comes from nowhere but our own thinking.The way we start imagining us into,we keen to become the same. All we need is to open our minds. The moment we accept that we don’t want anything from anyone or even may be from almighty, we are free from all bondages,entanglements and more towards the path of absolute freedom.
This is where our mind comes in a “state of stillness” and then the intelligence explodes along with the bombardment of new ideas.

We need to check on our activities which our conscious or unconscious,after all “Self-audit is self transformation.”
We often curse our fate and fail to self-introspect our being,yearn to deserve better and not to become deserved.Our desire to change must be greater than our desire to stay the same. “If we don’t get out of shell ,we are just a nut.”
In this complete phenomenon of transformation, learn not to worry about losses because there is no real loss.Nothing is gained by losing everything except the knowledge that it wasn’t ours to lose to begin with.
Let the creativity flow which will turn us into a river and we’ll be filled with fish and creatures.And people will have picnics right by us. Some will swim in us and others drink out of us. And that’s the meaning of -Life.
Life will sprout only after becoming vulnerable to every alien forces that are around.
Many a times we are unaware of the potentials within us. We can relate ourselves with a giant elephant enslaved in chains.Though he has a potential to break those chains of slavary but is unaware about his capabilities. Once sanity returns to him and he realizes that,in no time it can free itself.
Same is the case with beliefs- It takes decades to form beliefs but a single truth to break all those in blink of an eye.
Let me remind you that in order to awaken our imperishable,immutable and immortal presence,we shoud not be dead serious about life,its just a — “Play”
Yes you read it right….
Its more like a cricket match where stadium represents an imagery of a life, where we are the batsman. The balls thrown at us are nothing but the opportunities.If we fail to hit one,we actually fail to grasp the particular one,which could turn out as a failure at that particular moment. But this never means we have failed in a game of life. The only difference I could see between this life- game and a real cricket match is that unlike a cricket match, we never run out of the life-game until we have the courage to play the entire game.Its just we tend to fail or succeed in grasping opportunities(to hit balls).If we keep the required patience we may even hit a boundary.
If I have to sum up everything,I would just say that desires are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence but at the same time can turn out as a trap too. So,all we need is to learn to create the differences among them.
Hope you liked my thoughts and don’t forget to share yours too…..
Have a nice day :)
