Scattering/Scrambling some insights....within words/visuals, in this season of light/warmth....to encourage/manifest the insights of wisdom/truth. If reflecting on the basic underlying foundation/platform of causes/symptoms is relevant, for any outlook/venture.. a basic question to ask should be, is my guiding/driving principles built on greed:lust / values:principles....to be derived/evolved out of ignorance/experience. The majority individuals/nations, if we observe/scrutinize closely to the symmetrical halves within our body, we will realize its driven by the driving force of theocracy:religion/corruption:greed.. under the holistic utopian banner of spirituality:values/freedom:democracy. To be magnified/illustrated for insight from this story....
'Once in a village, a woman saw three old man sitting outside her house. They were sitting there for a while. Woman went outside and said, “I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”Men asked, “Is man of the house at home?”Woman replied, “No.”Men replied, “Then we cannot come in.”Woman went inside. In evening when her husband came, she told him about people sitting outside and all that what happened.Husband said her wife to go and ask those man to come in and have some food.Woman went out and said, “My husband is home. He is inviting you all. Please come inside and have food.”They replied, “We do not go inside a house together.”Woman questioned, “Why?”Then one of those old man explained.Pointing to one of his friends, he said – His name is Wealth If he goes with you, your home will be filled with wealth always. Then pointing to another old man he said – He is Success if he goes with you, your will always be successful in any endeavor you start. He introduced himself as Love If i go with you then your home will be filled with love always.Then he said, “Now, you go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”Woman went inside and told his husband about what that old man said. Her husband was overjoyed to listen about it and said, “Let’s invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth.”Wife disagreed and said, “No. Why don’t we invite Success?”Their daughter-in-law was listening to this. She came to them and suggested, “Wouldn’t it be better if we invite Love in our home. Then our home will be filled with love for ever.”Husband and wife agreed to her advice.Woman again went out and said, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”Love got up and started walking toward house. Just then other two also got up and started following him.Woman asked, “You said that not all can come together. I invited only Love. Why are you coming in?”Old men replied, “If you had invited Wealth or Success then other two have stayed outside but since you invite Love, Wherever he goes, we go with him.”Wherever there is Love, Wealth and Success will follow'. It seems for many, relationships are like the neck/head one to be the neck and the other head. Is it really meant to be so, within its intended spirit?
Where is our engagement intellectually/mindfully allied towards, if.... Today is always a reflection of/from yesterday, the surface/pitch which is entertained/encouraged will be the playing field/platform for tomorrow. It's always a given choice, to negatively aggravate/constructively manage any evolving circumstance. Light is ultimately, a bi-product of internal combustion/sacrifices. The essential spirit of any venture lies submerged within its intended virtues. During an engagement gathering, of two blossoming minds, the invited priest mentioned few tips to the couples. First, give divinity/God priority. Secondly, dedicate sincere time for reflection/meditation.Thirdly, invest once time/talent/treasure to built and sustain a platform advocating virtues. Pasting within a commonly cherished/circulated story.."In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him. Do you know what I just heard about your friend? A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves. The three sieves? Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true? No, I just heard it. Very good! So, you don't know if it's true. We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?Oh, no! On the contrary. So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true? Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend? No, really. So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?"Gossip is a bad thing. In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!" No matter what, irony of our human life is, many solutions for/of today will be a problem for tomorrow. Yesterdays right, is very often todays huddle/nay! Ultimately reminding us, to be unconditional/nonjudgemental within out outlook/ventures....which is the holy call of/by spirituality at largE
