What I have found in interacting with a few friends here and other forums - its difficult for most of us to act without any reference to thought - thought which is a product of past. I sincerely agree - and one thing I want to tell all of you that this words which I write here are not words to be taken as a theory or as an analysis or as a preaching - never - coz whenever you accept authority - be it mine or anyone else’s you will simply close the doors of true awareness and get attached to a fixed path. I want to discuss these observations and also request you to truly ask your own self or try to be aware from where all our action comes.

Its difficult to imagine a blank canvas but not un-attainable. We simple have to get inside everything to truly be aware of the phenomenon. If we are to observe our own actions - we meaning the product of our immoral and evil past - we, meaning the living example of mankind - we need to look at our actions without getting influenced by knowledge. Else - if we just think that this act of ours is violent or that act is an act of hatred then we will be creating a difference between the observer and the action. We are the violent - we are greedy - we are envious - and all these comes from the self which is a product of time and knowledge - where we are conditioned to response hate with hate, violence with violence and be on a continious chase under the influence of the immoral society which we have build so far.

Many a times I have come across different thoughts and view on meditation - people coming out with methods, ways, guidance - what not - sit cross-legged, lotus position, switch off lights, burn an incense stick, put on this trance music - and so on… We have invented so many different forms of escape that the whole purpose and meaning of Meditation is lost. If we are making an effort, if we are deliberately trying to concentrate, or going by some authority - then obviously we are sacrificing the freedom of mind and simply following something to reach nowhere.

Meditation is observation - to be aware - as such it does not require any cross-legged or lotus sitting or any incense or any music or a dark room or a candle or any absence or any presence…(how

We normally have a tendency, rather not a tendency but we think that we live in the past, present and also future - we look before and after while living in the present. But is that true ? Human beings as of now have always lived in the Past - the past being his memory.

Even when we are living in the present we try and analyze everything with reference to the past and when we plan or think about the future we use past as a background for all our projections. We are here we want to be there - we always think with the past in mind. Even when we try to understand something new we try to refer it to past theories, facts, formula and then try to put meaning to the new experience. And this is where we become blind to new ideas, concepts, theories etc. Its requires complete shutting off the Past to invent a new use of an electro-magnetism as in a

Our current existence is caught between two worlds - the inner and the outer. The outer world - which we created,- is a world of hatred, misery, greed, envy, brutality - a violent world and the resulting society in which we live. A world where every nation is building their arsenal of arms by either manufacturing or simply buying - where the big ones sell while the poor nations buy - we formed this world - and our ways - our thinking is only to be held responsible for this - you and me.

And the inner world or the self is now getting shaped by the same outer world we developed - responding to it , reacting to it every moment , every second . We want our kids to be great human being - appreciating nature, loving people helping the needy - but no the outer world does not permits us to do so - we are forced them to push in the same technological race - the same race for being a superior human being instead of a good human being ! All our desires, our aspirations our ambitions are being constantly shaped by this outer world - how we dress, what we speak, what we do everything. And both this worlds are related and constantly flows from one to the other.

The other day we were discussing a great topic - what is history - arts or science at blogcatalog only. Some people do think that we all need to know our history. I expressed my views that whatever it is - we should deal very carefully with History - that it should not be included at school level along with a few more subjects. History - should be treated as a research subject and always studied under professional supervision.

Coz history changes a man - A kid will play with any other kid as along as they don’t know history - a kid is always a kid - he is not an Arab kid or a Israeli kid or a Hindu kid or a Russian kid or a Black Kid or a Chinese kid - it is we who make them as such and change their perspective to life.

Only questioning can purify the mind… questioning which is not a product of our thought process…

Nearly all the religions are based on books some one and some several…but none of them allows you to question or doubt… if you question the entire religious world in the west, east and all places crumbles down in one day… ( I will write more on this later) but questioning, doubting something purifies our mind and can only give us the most clear and bright picture of everything.
