THE WORLD WE WANT

 

THE WORLD WE WANT

We are born in a world of " Things, jobs, relationships, emotions, survival, money, competition and politics".

To survive, we have also learnt the same things from nursery to school, college, University and then at the Office; how to be smart and 'fit in'.

But sometimes we get tired of playing the game of this world. And we wonder about the "Other world" that the saints and mystics have always pointed out, the spiritual world, the world of goodness and joy and harmony. The world we want. And we wish so hard to be a part of that world instead of this.

But actually there are no two separate worlds. Everything is here. We have only understood one and are yet to tune into the other. This is quite like a broadcast and listening sequence, where you don't need a separate radio to tune from one Fm channel to another.

If we want to synchronise the material world we have to live in, with the spiritual paradise we dream of,

If we want to release ourselves from all our past sadness, realizing it was all part of the journey, and the point where we are "Now" matters most.

If we want to take charge of our life in terms of awareness, and raise our own self esteem; we must get anchored firmly in our spiritual consciousness: we must hold onto the presence of Shiva, in our world.

Aum Namah Shivaye.
