The unasked Opening...
Sometimes it just gets very difficult to write, to express oneself as one feels about life, about everything in general. These days don’t bring much hope to the heart, it seems as though the world has become such a harrowed place to live in. Everything seems to be just coming down in everyway possible. Food is so expensive, house rents are enormous and nothing seems to be going in a way that one feels “Yes! This world is good place to be in.”
Sometimes I wonder about the poor people, those who can’t afford huge ransom houses to live in, they can’t afford to buy some good food to eat, what is really happening why have we become so lost in chasing unknown dreams and myths of unreality?
What fears haunt us and prevent us from living a life of simplicity and being in our natural folk hood?
These and many other question seems to the primal cause of a mental struggle these days. The answers too don’t seem very complicated; it’s understandable this world is heading for such a diversified evolution (devolution) that we now have to face the consequences of our own doings. There was a time when all knew without any effort - A sense of simplicity, of purity of the naturalness of ‘being’, and now it seems that we are only occupied with an anti culture of ‘doing’.
We are no more creative, artistic, spontaneous, alive, joy filled, peace loving individuals as we used to be; instead we are destructive, distasteful, planned, mechanical, depressed, bitter and resentful individuals. What happened I believe many will immediately disagree with the above statement, but lets just say 40 years ago I never heard of so many people have so many chronic diseases, Diabetes, Heart problems, Kidney problems, Cancer, Aids etc... This list can go on and on.
So what has all the health problems got to do with one’s creativity? You might ask.
Its simple the influence of our anti culture has made us into what we are today, Technology Dependent Individuals, rather than insight driven individuals.
This surge of Industrialization of Modernism and Techno Developed Societies and Nations have caused progress in a direction which only guarantee a better life style on the face of it but they don’t really provide any light into a better life insight, what one gains from a better life insight is much more than what one gains from a better lifestyle.
After all what will one does with a better lifestyle if there is no insight left in you to live? If one truly does a qualitative or even a quantitative analysis one can clearly see there is no progress to life unless there is an Insight in it.
So we come back to the same place where we started from. The circle has to complete itself. How so? What started feeling so incomplete primarily? That it needed the entire world for itself, in all its glory, in all its potential, in all its forms of Techno Developments, not to mention the Massive Rape of the Earth. What was it? What felt so Insatiated? So dissatisfied with it’s self that even the world was not enough for it? It seems now even the moon and mars will never be enough for it! What is that? Does anyone know? Has anyone ever felt it before? This circle gets completed because it comes back, to that very place where it started from. One’s Self!!!

One’s New-Clear/At-o-meek Self. That New-Clear/At-o-meek which is more powerful than all the Nuclear and Atomic put together even their explosion cannot compare to the implosion that happens inside One’s Self.
What is Inspiration? It is when a thought is alive and which lifts the spirit and reveals what’s beyond that which is already in front of us. Inspiration is not evil, but when inspiration is integrated with a selfish cause - a monetary cause, it is bound to turn ill natured and cause more harm than good. A moment of True Inspiration is what makes the Divine real for us. Just like a moment of indulgence in falsehood corrupts us and corrodes at the very heart of our being turning it into evil.
So we come back to the same question: Is there any hope left in this world? I believe it needs a little rephrasing now: Is there any hope left in us, to still be in such a world?
That is a question that none but you can answer for yourself, or one needs to answer for One’s Self. It is the only way left to find out, if the problem is there in the world or here in us. What we think the world is, is nothing but our own self reflected in it. One doesn’t need much to understand this; one only needs a little openness. That’s all.
