Finding Your δ (delta)

Every cell in human body is unique. It performs a unique function in terms of assimilation or diffusion in different proportions. They have unique proportion of proteins so as to be identified as an individual cell. Hence if one cell has a content say x, then the other has say x+δ (delta). Thus it goes without saying that every individual has a unique δ that makes him very different from another.

Human body has 100 trillion cells and if every cell is unique, why is very hard to believe that of a population of 7 billion on this planet every individual has the potential to be unique??

I never fully understand when people talk about self realization, though I’ve used the term quite a few times in my blog. I believe the word is much bigger than what it is generally understood to be. One of the reasons for it being, the self itself encompasses a whole gamut of possibilities & probabilities that it’s very hard to believe that you could completely understand every permutation-combination of your own skill. But having said that I’m forced to think that isn’t it the challenge itself that makes it so plausible. The sheer number of opportunities forces me to believe that yes out of the trillions of delta combinations there might be a few in which I would be the best in the world !

Life’s quest is to find that δ, to understand what makes us stand out for ourselves and not for a crowd. What is it by doing which we would be happy even when we have nothing to gain by its execution? Sometimes it seems as simple as saying - to like something that you do; you must do something that you like. But is it really that simple?

If you look around you you’ll find that nature is a big fan of simplicity. It’s a big fan of effortlessness. Everything around us in nature happens with as much simplicity & as much effortlessness as possible. Be it the rising of the sun or the waning of the moon, the swaying of the grass blades to the withering of the leaves & flowers.

Your δ is not difficult to find, on the contrary it’s the most simplest or the bare natural form of you. Once you realize that and strip off all the extra layers that you have piled on – you will be left with nothing but your true self. You will radiate in a crowd you will stand out like a diamond in a mine of coal.

Whose World Do You Live In ??

People often ask me a rhetoric question, “You live in your own fancy world, don’t you?” To which I have standardized my reply, “Yes I do. Why whose world do you live in?” It’s saddening to see people live in a world they don’t believe to be their own. Maybe that’s the root cause to every irresponsible step we take in life (it’s not my world anyways!!); that’s why people don’t own their problems and prefer to flee from it convincing their soul that the problem is bigger than them, but secretly, unknown to themselves, they nurture it within. A world lost on to them - a life, until now, not very well spent. It saddens me more that in what seems to be a stark contrast, we created a hue and cry to be “free”, to live in a world that belongs to “us” – a world that belongs to “me”. But it seems like we won the fight but we are yet to win the war. The concept of freedom is much trickier than we think it is. To most of us it means doing whatever you want to do in life. But were tha...

The principle of Duality

Decisions that we take everyday make us what we are. It is these decisions that begin to define us and give us the foundation to build on. Making decisions effectively thus forms a very important part of our present & our future. I remember watching the bollywood flick Deewaar & today when I look back I’m reminded as to how two brothers who faced a similar situation in life made two very different decisions. While one chose to battle it by imposing brutality on the circumstance itself the other decided to battle it by empowering himself with knowledge. There was aggression in both approaches, they stuck to their decisions fiercely and tasted success in their own ways. But only one decision was right & the success that came with it did not fade away with time or people. The Gita talks about how poorly we are used to making decisions & directs us towards a mechanism, if deployed can help us make wise and correct decisions. Not only will they bring lasting happiness bu...
