At Peace Now

The search is over.....A Search that took me to many places, many people... A search that took me through good and bad situations. A search which took 9 long years...
What was the search for?
The answer is simple...It was the search for the ultimate truth..A search for peace and happiness. And the search was over the day I met myself..and in meeting myself I had met God..the supreme.
Robert Moore had once said "MAN TRAVELS THE WHOLE WORLD TO FIND WHAT HE WANTS..AND..RETURNS HOME TO FIND IT".

We waste so much of time in boring rituals, studying about angels and a fictional character who is believed to be sitting up in the sky watching over us, when in fact all that we need is within us. It is quite strange that we spend all our time trying to know the people around us, we exactly know how others will behave, what emotions the other person goes through, we seem to claim that we know everything about those who surround us, when in fact we do not even know 10% about ourselves.
We are not even aware of our own emotions, our own actions, our own capabilities, of what we actually are and still we waste time in knowing and studying about angels, gods, all kinds of personalities who may or may not exist. We have become objective in life, even spirituality has now become objective. God, enlightenment, psychic powers are now objects for aspiring spiritual people. In this respect, the most fundamental mistake we are doing is, that we have forgotten ourselves. Spirituality has to do with subjectivity, with the subject - which is you. People are out to conquer the world and in the process do not even know how to conquer themselves, let alone the world. We expect others to love us, to show us how special we are..How can we expect people to love us, when we do not love ourselves, when we do not love ourselves for what we are? It is when we accept ourselves for what we are, and this means total acceptance...we accept our faults as well as our capabilities, is when we start loving ourselves. This love goes beyond the ego and gives us a deep understanding, which then allows us to accept other people as they are. And when this happens, we are so full of love, that it simply overflows and transforms the whole energy around us. This is unconditional love. This is when we are so content that it will not matter what others think of us. When love simply overflows from our being, it has a positive effect on all those who are around us. But this happens only when we start loving and accepting ourselves for what we are...this is the first step.

Becoming more and more aware of ourselves is the first step towards God, towards bliss, towards peace. What we are seeking in the outside world through different objects is already present deep within us, within our being. We are already that which we want to be, or are striving to be, through external means. This has to be and can only be experienced and realized, it cannot be speculated, written or explained. Our whole effort and energy is concentrated upon knowing more about things which are external to us. Many people have wasted away their lives in studying and trying to know or define about Gods, Angels, spirits and what not...There is no harm in it, except that, in the process we have completely forgotten ourselves, we have forgotten our own potential. All that energy can be brought back towards ourselves, all of it can be put into use to go deeper and deeper into our own being and in the end what we are left with is exactly that which we have been trying to seek outside. This is the moment when we meet our true self, and this meeting brings with it the ultimate of all truths..what is god...

It is quite easy to point out the mistakes of others, but we never stop for a moment and look at our own faults. We are afraid of our own faults and thus put on a false mask to hide them...that is the truth. Having had the oppurtunity to speak to peole from all walks of life, I have observed that we always give lables to our life. Some say, that they live a material life, some say that they live a spiritual life. Some say that they lead a very good life, some say they are tired with their sad lives. In all of these words, there is only one thing which is common and that word is 'life'. Life itself does not have any labels...Life is not good or bad, life is neither material or spiritual. Life is just life, it is only our perception that is putting on the label to it. When you peel off the label, is when you come face to face with life. Life is simply meant to be 'lived', 'appreciated' and 'enjoyed'. Life is not meant to have any labels....Life is a reality and all the labels are false. When we die, all labels die with us..but what remains is life...life goes on, uninterrupted....

Well...My first tryst with blogging.
