Inner Self - The Random Sunday Nonsense Series 4
© Mind Curry 2004 - 2007
No matter how good you are, there will be people who think you are bad.
You can try to be nice always and a good friend to everyone, but you will surely have enemies or people who dont like you.
You can always search for happiness, yet remain sad always.
You can have everything in life, yet feel like you dont belong anywhere.
You can always try to please others, thinking that it will make us also happy. It will, but not always.
You can try your best, but still experience failure.
You can look for God in the sky, in the sea, all over the earth; but still not see,hear or feel Him.
Ultimately you will realize that truth exists only within yourself. Your soul is the entire truth.
We can move away from our soul in our daily quest called life. But ultimately for the beauty, purity and peace, you have to look towards your inner self.
I suppose this is the essence of meditation. The energy that you call God, or someone else calls by another name, or the atheist calls luck; all lies within us. If we can look within ourselves each day, talk to our soul and stay connected, then life becomes a lot more peaceful and beautiful. Then you get a lot of energy, positive energy, to do a lot more in life..a lot more good.
This does not mean you need to be selfish and self-centered. Or like some philosophers and preachers say "relinquish all material things", "disconnect from the world", "leave all this reality in this world", "have no emotional attachments". Thats all rubbish. Thats escapism.
Your soul and inner self needs to be in harmony with the reality and with the present. Only then you will experience the truth.
These thoughts are borne out of a lot of interaction with supposedly wise people, who are in the quest of eternal truth. These thoughts also stem from my own conviction since a long time ago that in life, ultimately its only you that you will have. Or to put it differently, no matter who you have in life, there will be plenty of moments when there will not be anyone else for you, but just yourself. Its not because nobody else loves you or wants to help you, but thats the way life is meant to be.
So stay in touch with yourself. You are all you've got!
Ok!! Enough nonsense for a Sunday! ;)
Good night!
