Paucity of love too can get you closer to God


Attitude determines where you go in life. People say that true love gets you closer to God but I believe even paucity of love can get you closer to God if you have the right attitude in life.

Losing someone close to you, getting duped in a relationship, fight with a close friend or any reason that causes depletion of love in your life forces you to re-examine the way you have been living.

It feels good to be loved but anything traversing the outside-in trajectory isn't to be trusted. That’s why they say that God is within you. Trust only what is inside because that love will never leave you. People die, hearts get broken, girlfriends find new boyfriends & vice versa and so the love associated with it also vanishes. This absence of love then turns into hate, hatred towards the cause of the anomaly.

There are some people who spend all their lives hating the reason behind their suffering but there are some who introspect within and try to find out what is it that is hurting them so much. A proper self-introspection would reveal the flaws inbuilt in man - most of them forced upon by society. The biggest flaw is a man's EGO. A sense of 'ME' or 'I'. It is this ego most of the times that prevents us from being what God intended us to be. Once you lose your ego your body suddenly begins to feel lighter. You begin to feel much better. No externalities can hurt you now. You tune yourself inward. Your love now emanates from what you are. Your eyes now have a sparkle in them. There is new energy in your being - this the same energy that you had been depleting nourishing your ego. This surplus energy is visible to all and soon you see that people are drawn to you. But you have no ego so you welcome them with open arms, transfer your energy to them in the from of laughter, good thoughts or a sheer smile. These people who gain your energy spread it to whomsoever they come in contact with but their source will be you.

Unknowingly you have begun a chain reaction that spreads love in an unprecedented scale. Mahatma Gandhi, Karl Marx, etc... used this energy to mobilize thousands. But remember from where it all began. It originated from a paucity of love in your life. If you have the attitude to get back on your feet and live right, you will find God in everything - even in a place where there is no love...

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-combinati...

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...
