Perfection is a reflection of Perception.


When we were born, did we know what being Perfect was. We are all born in the same manner, spend equal amount of time in the incubator called womb. We are born perfect but why is that when we grow up we loose that perfection or so do we actually loose it. At least this is what the whole world is busy making us reálise, that we are not perfect. And when this world is not around, we akeep comparing ourselves, our lives with some perceived perfection the person next door is, and we ought to be like him or her.

Who decides what perfection is. Some say God is perfect, who has seen God to know what perfection is. But may be, what they mean is when you reach a state of mind when you are content with what you have and are satisfied with yourself, you reach that state of ecstacy where your desires end and happiness starts. Isn't this what can be defined as a meeting point with God, where the world means nothing, neither do its fantasies fascinate us anymore, life has joy. The regret of being alive or fear of death never fills our heart with pain and remorse.

Anything which gives us a reason to smile, to reach that level where happiness is inherent and integral part of our being and not just momentary, bliss takes us closer to Perfection.
 
Again it is a perception I perceive.

To live long.....become a Politicians.....

Strange title, but has anyone ever observed every year there are many deaths due to bomb blasts, accidents and uncured curable diseases, who dies, you and me.....the so commonly found species called 'The Common Man'. How many times do these species called Politicians have you heard dying in these circumstances. Oh yeh, we do hear them getting killed in a mishap once in a blue moon. Remember the Sarojni Nagar blast before Diwali in which the death toll was around 100 'The Common men'. Well, why talk of that only when we have these bomb blasts every year like we have our festivals. The only difference being the date on which they happen, may be because of the Hindu calender in which dates vary. They seem to have become a part of our lives now and doesn't seem to bother us much, but may be just for a week after actual event. Ironic, we prepare for the festivals before they arrive but here we do the clean up after the blast has taken place. Oh what clean up....clea

Need vs Necessity

What is a necessity and how it differs from need, or are these two synonyms. In this post I have tried to explore these two words. I think, necessity is an absolute need without which survival would not be possible and need is relative. It keeps changing with time, situation and thinking of generations or people. Necessity remains constant for all. If I represent need and necessity by two circles, I can draw a relation between the two. A meeting point where both become interchangeable depending upon situation. Here situation is an umbrella term which includes time, people and their dependencies. Water, oxygen and food are absolute needs without which we would not be able to survive on this planet. Sun, plants are necessities and have an indirect dependents on them. We keep on inventing needs and then things to satisfy those needs. Certain needs become necessity , means of survival and vice versa. It depends in which situation we are in. Like during winters keeping ourselves wa

Every Struggle in this world is aimed to achieve Freedom

The first time I read this quote, it kept resonating in my mind for a very long time, as if somebody had just revealed the biggest secret of this universe to me unknowingly. As I continued to think about it, I realized that every struggle whether internal or external is indeed aimed to achieve freedom. Our external struggles help us establish ourselves in this world, prove our worth to this world and keep us moving from one socio-economical level to another. What we leave sets us free but at the same time what we achieve binds us. Our internal struggles help us realize and prove our worth to ourselves. Struggle to become a better human being. In the process we free ourselves from the grips of that old person but cling to the new one. Both aim Freedom from old but bind us to the new. Life binds itself and also frees itself, when its born and when it leaves. We are like experiments of life, we are born , we bond to the world around us and then one day we have to leave everythin
