Race

 There is an ongoing race in our overpopulated day of innumerable commitments. The question plaguing us is what is the future going to be like? Aren’t we in such a hurry to find out from astrologers, soothsayers et all and sundry. Why? Especially when we are depending on the viewpoint of another human being? Does an astrologer have perfect knowledge and can enable us to act in certain ways to resolve our problems and influence our world?

Nowadays, one finds healers, astrologers, hypnotherapists, card readers, crystal therapy experts and what not at every nook and cranny. Is it stress that makes people seek these alternative therapies which may or may not work? Or do these have a placebo effect only? Sometimes they are like counsellors who give a patient hearing with a few inputs here and there. Is it really possible to resolve deep-seated karmic patterns with superficial, external help?

A quick fix is what we want, more like an instant 2 minute noodles, hmm these days it is instant vaccination. 

The beauty of the world is lost in front of the pressures mounting up. Instead of going beyond the immediate gratification of all five senses, we are simply looking for validation from our partners, children, bosses and from the world all around

If we are weak and unstable emotionally, we do become victim to the negative forces and can complicate our situations from bad to worse. On the other hand, if we have the strength to look in the mirror, accept the problems and start solving them one by one, it is surely possible to fit the pieces of the puzzle into a beautiful picture of a joyous, value creating life.

If we can inculcate the spirit of contribution by way of our thoughts, words and action, we can live a life of divine radiance. Then, the universe takes on a different hue and speaks to us in myriad ways. Radiance in the world we find as in ourselves. It is really our choice to pay heed to the inner voice or remain lost in the endless race for contrived glitter. Choose Well!

There exist unknown planes which we hear about during various meditative practices. And we wonder do they really exist? Do we have eyes that can see beyond the immediate? 

Is there more to what we see.
