You do not have to lead an ideal life to contemplate
You do not need a room to meditate
You do not need to be a saint
You do not need to have given up everything
I have not and nor am I a saint
Contemplation on who you are is your birthright!
Let no-one tell you otherwise.
"Who am I?"
"Whose am I?"
Think such thoughts when the question why comes to you,
it invariably comes to all!

Discovery vs. Invention
A discovery is used if it is useful;
An invention becomes necessary otherwise!
Can the same not be said to re-discovery?
When you take the pain to re-discover -
may be you should not be hesitant to re-invent!

Elusive Truth
There is only one truth
All that experienced it experienced the same
All that see it as different see the same
The truth is here and now
Why does it seem so elusive?
Because I am part of it?

Change
Change is constant... sure yeah! You have heard that before, what is new right!
Think once more, how many of us think that to change is not right?
One says, "My father believed it and I know he loved me so much. So it must be the only way to be"
Another says, "We have done this for 20 years now, and it has worked. Why mess with a wheel that is rolling fine?"
Sure, do not mess with a rolling wheel that seems to work fine. But if you fail to notice that there is a better wheel out there or if you fail to look closely at a small crack in the seemingly well rolling wheel!
So what I am saying is change is a good thing if done judiciously. And sometimes you have go against the grain to change!
If the status quo is all we care about, why do we grow from babies to adults?
There is a balance between being content and being willing to change. I am not really talking about changing your life-style etc. I am talking about reviewing your basic beliefs once in a while via introspection... is it a deep rooted belief that is really based on a sound universal principle?
Boldly look inside... to be ignorant is to be in darkness.
To seek for knowledge might lead you to more darkness; but be patient, the light of truth will shine and dispell this darkness!
