Well I don’t know! I’m not too much into defining either of them. But I decided to write. Write what I feel and what I know. I don’t know how I can relate to either of it. I’m really not too sure.
I’m not feeling too pleasant right now. I wonder why. I don’t have a reason or a negative situation which initiated my unpleasantness. I’m not the only one who feels so. Everyone does. Trying to figure out a reason... well I can’t really do that much research into it and say as to why this happens. I’m just in the same shoes as you are in. But I can tell you I could figure out a way! And the way is you can’t and you can help it.
When I said you can’t, I was not trying to impart my pessimistic view on you. I tried. I tried helping myself. I tried to figure out what really is bothering me so much, may be because I was little down to being home sick. Part of it was, but definitely not the real reason! I STILL DONT KNOW!
When I said I can, here is what I meant. I Google’d. How to be happy!, and pressed enter. I mean really?? Well yes yes yes....really! Pinky Promise I did that. How lame does the idea of Googling for happiness sound? Even my level of being happy can be contributed towards Googly Woogly! OH wow! That’s how technically independent we are (Consider the sarcasm beside).
So now the question really arises. When do we actually start believing in God? That’s a common question by you, by me, by all of us. But yeah, when do we actually start to believe.
When I have a crisis, I go to temples, I pray, so that everything will be solved. I wish it happened right away as soon as I made an effort to go to the temple and pray. I pray I’ll donate money towards the poor, I’ll feed the needy, I’ll offer 100 coconuts , I’ll recite the shloka a 1000 times a day and on and on and on. It sounds more like Barter system to me.
You ask a little experienced scholar, he says , those who are not yet advanced enough in their spirituality, go to the temples, where as people who are spiritual enough have their mind set to what they want, pray and preach everywhere they are and leave aside the temples. When you hit the rocks in your routine life where everything was just about to be perfect, that’s when you turn towards spirituality. Even though the scientists have the science to explain energy, we believe it’s the unknown source which is causing it.
Well yeah yeah. I did attend a ‘Krishna Conscious’ preaching class, hence wondering if the above lines sound a little over spiritualistic?? I’m definitely not falling into that league, but yeah I have been talking to a person who believes in the supreme entity, he always have interesting things to talk, a more like one against one, a person who believes and preaches and me being more against such beliefs. I’ll see where these conversations I have with him lead to and see what I can bring to you’ll!
What I heard is what you’ll get! Hoooo... re reading the above lines, I mean really! Me talking it!? Wow!
