Purpose in Life

The ease of this life, makes the living of it easy. The continuance in this state is the "For what" legacy. "You must have a purpose in life." For What?..... Back to easy living.

Thought

If you stop to think....you're just a traveller.
If you think.....then you really go places.
And if you don't think......then your vista is always a clean slate.

Hindsight

Irritation sets in when one's self centric perspective is not understood by your world. How can it be, when everyone's perspective is also largely self centred. That's hindsight.

Free your mind

Relationships are built on expectations. The very reason why they fail also. Each one of us needs our own space once in a while. But matrimony can be confining. Lakshmi...free your mind.

The meaning of life

Me - If there's a point to my life, it evades me. So also appears to be the case of my death. Would be pointless. Saala, it has taken 50 years to discover this! What a waste of time.
Arun - As they say in Zen....don't seek any meaning, just live. All answers will come when the time is ripe.
Me - I guess that is the default life position. Live and acknowledge life in its moments. The time of ones life is here and now. The sensory comfort is meaning enough. No questions, No answers.
Arun - If you are really living life that way, you should not have any complaints. You are ideally placed, I think.
Me - There are no complaints. Just a sense in some moments if this is all that ones life is about. It defies conventional wisdom and yet you feel one is ideally placed! No thought, No sense.
Arun - People living by conventional wisdom don't seek the meaning of life and death.

Bliss

Arun - Hills, grass, and a few moments to myself. ....You are savouring what I'm tasting.
Me - Bravo....And may appetites and appetisers be such transient moments of bliss...Ad infinitum.

Been 3 weeks. Already seems like one never left. The only regret is losing my daughter. I'd wanted her to hear my side of it but.....Sad, but not an ache. And tomorrows just another day.

A thought

If one were to begin asking oneself the many questions one should be asking oneself, its likely the answers would only be of academic interest, in ones current situation. Thoughts are free in a taxed life.

Happiness

The pursuit of perceived happiness has guided most of our actions. Having tasted it, the flavour starts fading fast. The fresh perception pursued then, is oft more esoteric.

Me - We know quite a bit about our friends. Are also able to give animated profiles of them to third persons. Yet we rarely share/update this knowledge with each other. Comfort in/with who we are.
Arun - From the Age of Reason to the Age of Fantasy

Frivolous liberty

So what should we look at now, the mind asks. Such frivolous liberty. This is where the moment is at. And hopefully continue to b, with the dawning of the age of cannabis.

Inner voice

Arun - Have you ever heard your inner voice? I really don't know what it means - is it intuition?
Me - Can't say I have. But I take it to be the voice of ones conscience which flags up "right choices" in moral and value dilemmas. Instinctive like intuition, but more than just a feel.

Your inner voice could also be your alter ego. Feels the need to be heard every time you trample over what you wanna be and do, in doing the things that you do. Not every one has an inner voice or for that matter an alter ego.
.....If you hear thought that you don't recognise as your own....Well, somebody's trying to tell you something. Worth a listen to.

Afraid to live, afraid to die, afraid in between: that is what is human being?
No more anxieties to confront or expectations to meet. Face you fears and you get a silent retreat.

Sitting on a river bank watching the sun set behind the treeline on the other side. A cool breeze sends the river surface shimmering. A taste of God's own country.

The lightness of being

After the walk...
A fresh lime soda, sweet and salted - Rs.6
A cigarette - Rs. 2.50
The quench - sublime and priceless.
As you can see, life is pretty much the same in these parts.

Boost. Welcome to a lightness of being. The mind settled, not knowing.
Boost...And a sense of wellness radiates. The stillness holds you in thrall, despite cawing crows.
