HOW LONG WILL WE JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER???

heyy .......!!!!!! its me again with my never ending questions....this time i ve gotta very sensitive one.....have you ever felt helpless and angry and offended when somebody judged you and formed an opinion about you just on the basis of your physical appearance...something like....

for being too thin

or fat

or dark

or wearing braces

or not being fashionable.......its an endless list of judgements...

i remember one of my friend telling me that he was uncomfortable in being Friends with me coz i was too fat .......and i should probably loose weight because guys generally dont fall for fat girls......how groce and superficially hideous a thought is that......i simply answered ,"why should i loose weight ...so that a bunch of mass fed superficial losers could give me their attention and i could date their king"??????....dint seem like a great deal to me....huh!!!!!!!!

because we don't realise that we often miss on the best by being so superficially judgemental...

because we forget that gold and diamonds are hidden in deep layers of earth and coal......

we forget that Jesus Christ was born in a stable......

that lord Krishna was born in a prison....

and the most beautiful flower lotus blooms in a mucky pond......

because it indeed is true that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder...

but what if the vision of the beholder is blinded by trivial issues like

the appearance...

or the accent...

or the dressing style

or maybe the hair do.....

does it really matter that much....????

though i have noticed that mostly the people who judge others on their physical attributes rather than their inner self are the ones who are totally mass fed....like a flock of sheep.....mesmerised by the norms of the societies....bothering what the other will think if i do so, rather than doing what pleases them...these are generally the ones who ll always criticise you for doing anything that is unconventional....they will laugh at your failures and will be envious of your success.....

they will never look at you and smile first because deep inside they are insecure what if you dint smile back to them....

i still remember my little 4 year old niece being really great friends with my maid's daughter....and my aunt dint let her play with her anymore because she was a maid's daughter.............how hypocritical is that.......we fast at festivals ......make claims of being ourselves but when it actually comes to it ........we fail mammothly to listen to the real voice inside....

i wont elaborate more ......but will just say that the judgement call is ours......we have to learn to look beyond the outer experience....not only the ones who judge but even the ones who are being judged.

the victim should think twice before being offended and falling into self pity whether the remark is bigger than his/her own perception of self ?

and the victimiser should think whether dating a pretty face is as significant as dating a pretty soul???

i am not against being healthy and looking good ...infact body is the temple of the soul and as long as it is possessed by it....it should be taken good care of.....but my intention was to bring the attention of the victimisers towards the people who have no fault and contribution in the quality of whatever they are being judged for.....some might have been born with the abnormalities....

like hair loss at an early age due to some medical condition

or being overweight due to some deeper problem..

or a stammering speech because of some other health issue

its high time....!!!! we have to wake up and smell the cup of coffee....because all that matters is what we think we are..... after all our lives are but the product of our thoughts.....

and we have to be more responsible for what we think and judge people for......hope that would make you think!!!!!!!

love ya all

......WHAT WAS GOD THINKING ????

Next day i woke up to the sound of a chirping bird , the freshness in the air was so crisp as if the world started just today , i literally woke up to a new me...
the serenity on my face
the peace in my mind
and the activeness in my body ...
as if the whole universe is one with me...for the first time in my life i could see everything to be so alive
the trees, the air, the sound of daily hullabaloo....
as if i was in a new world in a new body.....i woke up with the feeling that today the universe is conspiring to do me good and only the highest good....yes my question was still unanswered...

but i was not concerned anymore because the very experience of being alive literally numbed my senses to an alien level of awareness......the day moved as usual with no special worldly circumstances to make me happy ...yet now i dint need the outward experience to feel the inner bliss .....
because i realized that the outer experience is not required experiencing the inner bliss
and if outer experience is required then inner bliss is not possible......

i suddenly felt as if i had just stepped out of a vicious cycle of thought action and experience.....

just another day for the world ....i got ready and left for my class.....only to experience a deepened sense of poise.....the best thing of being one with the universe is that u stop thinking about the yesterday and tomorrow ...all that matters to u ...shrinks into the now...n that's what i was doing enjoying the bliss of my now...i could feel my concentration enhanced to its greatest extent...everything ..all the complicated techniques and procedures were just getting absorbed in the right places in my mind...

class got over and i got an instinct to explore the Alpha Irla market (in Mumbai)...i had no specific work but just cudnt stop myself from listening to the the voice inside my head.....
I got down from the auto rickshaw....just to get noticed by a fruit seller an old man in his 60's selling jaamun (black berries or jambool)....i cudnt stop myself but buy the fruit.... after all it also appeared from the garden of eden...lol...i gave him a fifty rupee note...but he dint have the change so he asked me to come with him to the book store behind his stall and see if we cud get the change from the man at the store.....we managed to get the change .....the fruit seller left the shop delighted at his bonny(first income of the day)...

i thought of browsing through the book store....my attention was suddenly drawn towards the 60%off sale section and i headed straight to the stall and the first thing i notice was a book named
"CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD".....
i found the title quite amusing picked up the book and read the first few lines....."In the spring of 1992--it was around Easter as i recall--an extraordinary phenomenon occurred in my life.God began talking with you.Through me."......

i froze for a second......finally recovered bought the book and rushed back home....
changed and started reading....and i read and read and read.......
only to be enthralled by every word i proceeded to... and had a feeling... as if the book was written just for me...after all its said..."when the student is ready the teacher will appear"......i started getting the broken links behind everything in the universe....the picture started to clear up the puzzle getting solved with every page i read on .....adding a new dimension to my life......

and finally i got the long awaited answer to the question ....what was god thinking when he put us into this world..what was the purpose of the cycle of birth and death...good and bad.....and the answer was so complicatedly simple......

we are gods.....just that we have forgotten who we are...we were made in the likeness of god....we are the observer not the observation.....we have the power to create our own life ......exactly..precisely the life we want whether we create it consciously or unconsciously.....coz
"we are the creators of our own universe as we go along"-winston churchill.

we were sent into this relative world of good and bad , love and fear, truth and false.....so that we could make the highest choice and experience our highest potential which was possible only in the relative realm and not the absolute world of pure bliss....
so our purpose on earth is god's purpose on earth...god experiences his potential through us.....and ultimately everything in his plan is perfect because the end is assured and that leads to him.......

i am not as great writer an orator ...so maybe i wasn't able to convey my thoughts with clarity to you...but if anything in this article amuses you even for a millisecond.....do read the book
"CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD"-NEALE DONALD WALSCH....
i can guarantee it will change your life your perception and even your dimensions forever.....
with all my love.....
BLISSFUL ISHA

WHAT IS THIS BLOG ALL ABOUT??

THIS BLOG IS DEDICATED TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO WOULD LOVE TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN....BE IT IN ENGLISH AUR AGAR ANGREZI ACCHI NAHI LAGTI TOH HINDI MEIN BAAT KARO...EVEN THE WILDEST THOUGHTS U THOUGHT WILL NEVER SAY BE IT ON UR GIRLFRND/BOYFRND,UR PAKAOO TEACHERS,UR NOISY NEIGHBOURS,UR MAKEUP BLOOPERS,UR NIGHT OUT GANGS,LOVING MEMORIES, LOVE ,LIFE,PROBLEMS,NEWS,SPORTS,CARS,GADGETS......THE LIST IS ENDLESS...SO WHAT ARE U WAITING FOR BABBLE ON..

WHAT WAS GOD THINKING ...????????

U must have heard this many times....."EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE"...!! but long i ve been eluded by the statement ...i used to ask myself what it actually means coz in real life often times it used to appear pure bladder dash to me..I used to wonder ok...what purpose did the accident had in my life....what purpose was behind my failure in academics despite being one of the brightest minds of my batch.....what purpose was behind my relative's untimely deaths...or mayb i am too insignificant so what about bigger issues like....tsunami or earthquakes or terrorism.....coz sure if god is the creator... these things cudnt have appeared on their own...so why did he create all the things that we genuinly complain about....when as a kid i asked this to my dadi she jus said " यह तो भगवान् की लीला है वही जाने ..हम सब तोह बस उसके हाँथ की कथ्पुथ्लियाँ हैं " later i read shakespear saying sum similar words "All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts....... "

Still not satisfied with the answer rather quite irritated at the fact that who gave this god the right to treat us like puppets for his mere entertainment....why would he put us in traumatic situations like natural calamities,catastrophies,emotional, mental ,physical torture...and yeah..the green stuff which is never enough...now dont get me started on money... i see people around me living a mechanical life working hard just to make ends meet and when indeed they do accumulate some wealth...BOOM comes an ailment or disease or accident and the savings just flow out....on the contrary i see people involved in unfair means of income prospering with b.m.w.'s and mansions and vaccations abroad ...and on the other side i see honest simple men sticking to their code of morals and living the most fundamental life which would only support a two time meal.....i just gotta feeling as if everything around me is unfair and useless without any purpose except some cynical god wanting to have his fun...for years i kept cursing every day hating myself for the helpless creature i was at the mercy of some insensitive god...

then i came across the logic in which our hindu mythology has long found its roots in...that we(souls) are merely rays of lights dissipated from the source that is GOD to bear the consequences of our karma and our ultimate destination is to be back to the source we dissipated from....n happiness and sorrows are 2 sides of the same coin LIFE and they occur in our life on the basis of the punya(good deeds) and paap(bad deeds) we do...

still the question remained unanswered....why were we sent into the cycle of birth and death if all we have to do is go back to the source...if we were so happy in the source then why in the first place we had to be seperated from the "eternal bliss of being one with him"...what was the purpose....

days....

weeks....

months.....

years.....

passed n passed... making me irritable useless lazy and disgusted with life and the icing on the cake was my successive failures in everything i did....which led to lack of will power n so i just cudnt take it anymore one day...... and so i decided that i will not live a life of doubt n trauma i will find out the answer....reading and reading and talking and becomming member of occult societies and exploring..... only to be lead to the same question over n over again...

untill one day i finally gave up and burst into tears and said..."GOD i surrender, i give up on my battle against you and ur ways i will just accept the trauma n i accept to be your puppet..." but to my amazement i actually heard a voice this time....a firm gentle loving voice as if it smiled at me with love and compassion i never experienced before...it said.."my dear child since now you have surrendered onto me ....have faith in me .....like the faith u have in a seed which is the promise of a forest"...n the voice mellowed down and for the first time after 9 years i had the most peaceful sleep at night...like the one i used to have wen i was an infant sleeping in my mother's lap......

to know what happened further.....and whether i got my answer... come back to my blog again tomorrow...i need more inspiration to word that feeling down.... love u all

CURIOUS ISHA
