Pain - a friend...

Pain unlimited you have taught me to smile and showed me life. Oh pain, you are my friend and it is with you I see the true colors of life. You hold my hand and help me to grow into a mind that is far greater than what it was. Pain, had it not been for you I would continue in my perceptions of life that I used to have. The ones that introduced me to you. Oh pain, my friend , you showed me the people who were real to me and the ones that really did not care. OH pain, you taught me to respect the moments of happiness that you sometimes let us see.
Yes, had it not been for you , I would know not what pleasure is. You are a true friend if there was any. You can be pleasure if only we could see how nice you are to us.

Alone

To live alone is bliss. In this day and age, I think few people would disagree. Two people meet and feel they can spend the rest of their life together. One day, they realize that someone has to sacrifice something to make it work. And then , neither want to sacrifice anything and in fact want the other to accept how they are or what they seek.

Make sure, you are both walking in the same direction and not towards each-other. The Bump can hurt.

Ghalib - One that Overcomes.

The great show that goes on each day..

Ghalib says:

A playground of children is this world to me
A show is on day and night in front of me..

He saw right through this life and realized, that not much of it is real. A lot of it is action based on assumption of what may be or could be.. and thus the show. But how did he see right through this life? By accepting all the pain and misery it has to offer in one go. He took it all in within a few years. This is possible for anyone, if they would dare like Ghalib dared. The risk is only one, you will either conquer all fear and pain - or you will totally lose your mind. One who can write as did this great poet definitely has come to his senses, rather than lose them!

The prison of life and sadness and sorrow , are in fact one and the same..
Why then before death , shall humans be saved from sorrow?

He defines this life as a prison which restricts the flight of the soul and confines it, while death is the door that lets it out.

The Solution

We hear so many people just complaining about what is around them. Is it not sad, that whatever is around them is their own creation? They indirectly or indirectly chose to be where they stand and then they complain , blaming an external force or person or situation. Sad. What is even more sad, is that they are totally unaware of the power they possess. And in fact its their choice to be where they are.

I have worked with persons claiming to be in impossible situations. At the end of our sessions, those persons were out of their situation and you know what? I did not do it for them, they did it themselves. I just guided them through the maze of the mind. From acceptance to realization to visualization, their issue ended. And they did it. At that point , it was proven to them beyond any doubt - that they have the power to change their own lives by changing what is in the mind. This theory is real and it is also backed by a verse in the Holy Quran which basically clearly states that Allah does not change the condition of a nation until they change what is in their hearts. Heart means the inner mind, soul. The essence of humans is their minds and its perceptions and beliefs. So its the belief system that we work with. We dig deep into the mind of the person and extract the poison. Poison which decays the brain simply by existing. Poison such as doubt, fear and wrong notions which in time become belief and directly affect choices and perceptions and eventually actions. And we all know, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So if you find yourself in an undesirable situation, try to work on finding out the action that you took, what you did that caused that situation to be. There is NO other answer to it. Yes, we can sit there and blame so many things and people, but sorry - that's not the solution. It is temporary ego relief. It is denial of fact.

Circles

Often people think that they have mastered life since no one is bothering them anymore. They may have even done it. But then, maybe they have not and they think they have done it! Or maybe they have just given up and found a station in life in which they can continue to survive and live on until they die. Who is to say if thats right or wrong? What is right or wrong anyway? We cannot know what is right or wrong. We think we do, but in reality we dont. Oh yes, i know - there are books sent from God that clearly define whats right and wrong and what a nut I am to say we dont know- right? Thats what you are thinking right? But what if I were to prove it to you from these holy books that what these books have said are wrong - have been made right for some people mentioned in the same books? Once again, we find ourselves sitting and thinking. What the books say is wrong, is definitely wrong - no doubt about it. But then the one doing it may not be bad either - right? Or maybe the one doing it, maybe doing it for the right reasons. So you see, we dont KNOW.
When do we really know? In fact, what do we really know? When the answer is - never and nothing, education has started. If the answer is this and that - then we are running in circles. Running in circle is chasing our own tail until we get too exhausted and pass out - in the case of the human condition - die.
