You can find me at the following social networks as well:
Oh Rukn-e-Alam, your love is unparalleled.
And now you stand right there at the top.
A river of love flows from where you are.
And those who want to love drink from it.
You sell to them what you have the most.
And you pour it into their souls.
That love is your only religion.
And that way is the God’s way.
There are no such things as “relaxing” or “to relax”. There is only “being relaxed”, the mental state.
By saying that one can relax himself, we tend to precieve that relaxing is a verb, an action. And right there, the contradiction starts. If it is an action, how can it bring relaxation to one? So humans tend to try out different things which they call relaxing. But they are just what they are: partying, sleeping etc. When they are over, we are stressed again.
Humans need to adopt a certain way of doing things to actually stay relaxed. That way of life needs to cover all aspects of his life, not bound to a certain time. But before that, they need to figure out what that way is.
Humans tend to set the most impossible goals for themselves. Its not the stuff in the world which is difficult to get, nor its the love or affection from other people. It is a particular state of mind or a feeling which we want but we can’t get to.
We do tend to be perverted and associate material things as a symbol of achieving a particular feeling. Mostly we are only fooling ourselves by doing so. I’ll give an example: I want a super car because it is something really really cool. Do I want the car or do I want the feeling of possessing something really cool and different?
Most of the time of our lives is spent discovering that things don’t ultimately bring those feelings to us. We associate even bigger things to that feeling, just to return to where we started. Its when we stop wishing for things that we are able to achieve that feeling. And its when we stop chasing that feeling that we are able to do the right things in our lives.
We live in a system of exploitation and slavery. Education systems of today aim to produce better slaves and nothing else.
What education was actually supposed to do was to enable children to differentiate right and wrong; and develop the moral courage to choose the right way even if it means material losses. Education of today doesn’t do that anymore.
As a result, education has become a business, teacher has become an employee and students and their parents have become customers.
Love and Inability: that is what I am made of. I am unable to get to what I love the most. I am unable to do what I love doing the most. I am not what I would love to be the most.
Having to settle with what I have now and keeping myself content is for me the new definition of all that is right. There is a pleasure in being connected when it would seem by all means that I am disconnected. Being connected with something you cannot see, cannot feel seems to be the ultimate a human can achieve. Refusal to connect in a way which is even remotely definable in a physical or metaphysical and still being connected by the virtue of just a belief: that is love.
Distance with what you love while being happy is the ultimate means for reaching the nirvana.
It had been a tradition of the East that no money was demanded in return of three things: water, knowledge and direction. Today, money is demanded for all three. In today’s era of capitalism, you can’t do anything without money. Everything bought has a curse of being of only limited use and comfort.
In such time of despair, when one looks for true happiness which cannot be bought or taken away, he needs to look inside. Symbols of the past which denoted peace and value, like water and love are no more. Our only hope is inner peace and strength.
