DESTABILIZATION

 DESTABILIZATION

Can I over-emphasize the power chaos holds within itself?

Every time we are in the smooth phase of our life, walking at a pace we like and being aware of this fact. Soon not so surprisingly there will be a gush of wind which will be so strong, so much so that it can topple us over. What does this tell us? Randomness and chaos are just lurking around the corner, always there and they are just blissfully temporarily forgotten.

Midlife crisis is another form of destabilization that is nearly always self-invited wherein once we realize the facts of our life in the recently achieved stability and somehow end up getting connected to our passions or the lack thereof.  We somehow out of the blue, start remembering all our childhood dreams, passions, and loves of our lives and wonder how and when we landed up where we did.

If only we could see that life is dynamic, even the park you walk in is a dynamic, ever-changing ecosystem where crickets and butterflies die every second and a new one is born. Predators and preys, sun and moon, light and dark, all antagonists to each other yet in balance.

This destabilization is the rule rather than the exception in reality. It is only in our messed-up heads that we knit a beautiful dream where everything is static and constant. Over time, we accept(usually not very early, neither to gracefully- more so kicking and screaming) what truly is. Personal growth- a term that I have begun to understand or value just very recently(like yesterday) is all about destabilization and stabilizing again, in a vicious never-ending cycle. But it is not imagined as a gruesome prison but rather like an exercise in the gym or a new swimming stroke. Or maybe a new recipe in the kitchen, we need freshness and zest in this life which is the very name of chaos.

Political parties, dictators, men, professions, technologies, and even(most of all actually) nature all ceaselessly keep evolving and renewing themselves, becoming better than what they are.

Being in uncomfortable situations stimulates our minds to work faster, and better and creates a fertile ground for innovation and invention.

True calmness actually emerges right in the middle of chaos where you can see through the fog.

Don't be afraid to take life-changing steps, something you have never done before, and create an upheaval in your own life and see

 CHAOS GETTING TRANSFORMED FROM RAW ENERGY TO SOMETHING TANGIBLE!

A lot is said about this magical city, a city that existed before time and will exist beyond. A place preferred for dying, because it is a notion that death here is liberating, liberating you from this world, from rebirths, and this endless cycle of birth and death. We heard our drivers call this city Kashi, the city which sits on the pinpoint of Lord Shiva's Trishul(Trident). A city along with its inhabitants who are dear to the Almighty Father Shiva and Almight Mother Parvati. We heard a couple of people say this to us, and we could sense who said it with a depth which could be felt vis a vis where it was to get a heavy tip. People go there looking for the truth, for the answer and one thing I observed was the certainty with which people believed that crime will always be lower here, and that this city will never perish, even when the world finishes or even if time comes to an end. I was listening to the river, watching the silently flowing river. Reverence of the priests for the...

Is dissolving the solution?

I was just wondering what happens when we fall for someone? Do we go to any lengths to love them, to be loved by them or to be accepted by his/her people? Do we change ourselves ? More importantly do we realize that we are changing ourselves? Are we still "US"? Enough with the questions, my own experience tells me,  YES! OF COURSE WE CHANGE OURSELVES! The only thing which determines the color of the flags for this change is whether we change our core values to fit in, to please, to be reciprocated to. I have been on sides, where I changed myself, to fit in, to be accepted, to be respected - killing parts of me which were precious.  I would love for us to decode our change... step by step....  We are who we are because of our choices, our perspective, our strengths, our weakness, a lot more is to do with our background and upbringing and of course the crap load of past trauma! With that backdrop, our first choice is choosing someone- that reflects our core values, what are...

DEATH

 A lot is said about death being an ultimate truth and how we all must meditate on death every day, and then there is a lot said about the absence of a parent acting as a childhood trauma. But how many of us really understand and still choose to love such individuals who had to face this trauma, against their will and consent, where they had to lose their pillars of strength so early on in life. Its hard, most of the people and most of the society only knows sympathy and pity as the appropriate emotions. They forgot that one day they will also experience this, one day the tables will be turned. No home is untouched by death, its not a matter of if, but when. But people in general are calculative, they calculate how much will a person take from them and how much a person will give them back. That's the (sad) reality of life. Children who see such a loss early in life tend to fear to lose their loved ones again, and honestly, they will face more loss, it's how they perceive the w...
