DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL REASON TO GET OUT OF BED EVERY MORNING ?

What is your very personal REASON to get out of your bed every morning ? Probably none ! You have never ventured on these lines before now. How a normal persons life goes full circle, with no chance of mid course correction.

MEDIOCRITY BREEDS A FULL CIRCLE - no mid course correction possible.

DULL IN INTELLECT, LAZY IN  BODY

As a small child you woke up with a huge enthusiasm every morning to learn more, to continue where you left yesterday, to advance into adulthood as fast as possible. What has changed with you, between childhood & middle age or retirement age. You seemed to be exhausted, spent of all your energy & zeal for life. Lazy in the mind & body too. Therefore no reason to wake up every morning. Well, very soon you will NOT WAKE UP AT ALL. It is a common law of Self fulfilling prophesy. You wish to die, it will happen, the universe is designed to fulfill all of your desires.

CHANGE OF PARADIGM ONLY

On the other hand the same law can help you live happier & longer, healthier & active, helpful & cooperative, wiser & humble.

It appears that you have decided to explore the latter part of the equation. Lets us discover it together.

Ask your self these four questions:

        What you love ?

                                                               Delight

What are you good at ?
Being self

What the world needs ?

Excitement                                                                                                    
                                                               What you can be paid for ?

           Doing / Helping out 

ARTISTS PAINTERS ACHIEVE GREATNESS AFTER DEATH

Let me elucidate a little more with examples. You love to sing, dance, or paint, but the material world does not need all this intangible stuff, which means you can not be paid enough for these Vocations / skills, although you may be very good at them. The net result is that you feel delighted & satisfied inside doing it, but it does not bring in wealth for comfortable living which envelopes you with strong feelings of USELESSNESS & UNWORTHINESS.

IMBALANCE BETWEEN HOBBY & PROFESSION

Let us take another case study to explain further. Your cousin is very good at computers & the world needs such a talent right now. The world is also willing to pay him very handsomely for his skills, but he does not love his Vocation & job, because he is deeply interested in playing professional chess sports. His job brings in wealth which makes living comfortable but he is enveloped with strong feelings of EMPTINESS & SOMETHING A MISS.

Try to balance all the four in your life.

MY FATHER WAS LUCKY IN THIS ASPECT

Only lucky few are fortunate enough to enjoy both sides of the coin simultaneously. My father happened to be the lucky one. He was a Medical doctor (GP) who loved what he did & was very good at it too. The world needed him most & was willing to pay him for his skills & services hands down. He lived to be 92, very healthy, calm, content, & worked till his last day on his patients. He had a solid REASON to get up every morning, & the Reason was SERVICE TOWARDS HUMANITY. To sum up my fathers hobby was same as his profession which brought him wealth, delight, fame, & satisfaction.  

EDISON TOO WAS ONE OF THE FEW LUCKY 


The most glaring example we have in the history is that of Thomas Elva Edison. He was a drop out & never studied beyond 6 th grade. He ended up working 20 hours every day continuously for 30 years without any vacation. There was no need for a vacation because his research was so very interesting, absorbing & motivating him, to do more & more. He successfully patented 3000 inventions in his fulfilling life time. 

HE HAD A SOLID REASON TO GET UP EVERY MORNING.

I love him for his dedication & single minded approach to purposeful living. I share the same date of birth with him, with a time lapse of exactly hundred years - 11 Feb 1847

HAPPY BY DESIGN & ON PURPOSE


The Japanese people have evolved their own methodology of PURPOSEFUL LIVING, which makes them unique as a country of people with highest longevity in the world. It can be summed up in three meaningful words as follows :   

IKIGAI = A reason to live / purpose in life / value in living.

ITTAIKAN = Sense of Oneness with a role, group or Creation.

JITSUGEN = Self realization, Who am I, a soul or body.

SPIRITUAL INCLINATION & DIVINE TUITION  

I too have learnt from them & finalized upon a much bigger Reason to get up every morning out of my bed. It is my TRANSFORMATION from Body Consciousness to Soul Consciousness. My aim is to Die Alive to this degraded world, its attachments both materialistic & emotional, & emergence of souls ORIGINAL SEEDS after extinguishing all the acquired useless seeds picked up in this life & previous lives. This SELF TASK is so very intoxicating that I remain on the 9 th cloud most of the waking time. Of course I have Divine help all the time just for asking.

I hope you too can develop a good enough REASON to get out of your bed every morning.

SELF IMPRISONED BY THE GHOST OF PUBLIC OPINION

PRISONERS IN THE MAKE BELIEVE PRISON OF  PUBLIC OPINION


PUBLIC OPINION BASED ON ANCIENT CORE BELIEFS

Public opinion is created by imperfect people. It is their combined perspective of ancient yardsticks brought forward & borrowed from the 15 Th century. In this time period our great great grandparents had stone dull Intellects & did not question their collective core beliefs / yard sticks. They happily assumed & firmly believed that the Earth was flat, the Sun went around the Earth & things heavier than air could never fly. Now what do you want to say to this basic premise on which all the other numerous notions were based. Today you are the advanced generation with razor sharp Intellects, yet you are anchored deeply in this foolish Public Opinion & influenced by it 24/7. I would say it controls you & your behavior, even after the lapse of 5 centuries when technology has proven them wrong & made them look foolishly small.   

PUBLIC OPINION CONTROLS US

Public Opinion is just a random, off the cuff conglomeration of opinions, but we mistakenly take them  as Absolute & swear to live our lives by them. They hold the power to make each of us uncomfortable inside our skins.

WHAT WILL THEY SAY ?

The most feared & often  used phrase goes as follows : WHAT WILL THEY SAY ? Who are they is another big question ? They constitute a handful of known folks, like your school friends, neighbors, office colleagues & a large number of unknown strangers in the crowd on the streets. The second part of the four letter syntax is What they will say ? Honestly it is the fig of your imagination at play. You never hear what they say or said. It is their silent meaningless looks, shallow judgments processed in their minds, preconceived notions/opinions & teasing ridicule that they enjoy momentarily at your cost. 

VIRTUAL PRISON MAKES ONE UNCOMFORTABLE

You chain yourself in the Virtual prison of multiple walls erected around you. The walls are made up of SELF- DOUBT, IMPERFECT, ILLUSIONS, MORALITY.  These powerful walls act like microwaves cooking up inside of you, feelings of LOW SELF RESPECT, NOT GOOD ENOUGH & UNACCEPTABLE. Over time these negative feelings mushroom into powerful toxic Emotions of ANXIETY, MENTAL SUFFERING making you extremely UNCOMFORTABLE INSIDE YOUR SKIN.

OBSESSIVE THINKING

Heart is influenced by inputs from outside world, the majority of which are related to Public Opinion. Based upon these inputs it creates feelings & emotions of negativity mostly. Our relationships affect us directly hence we are predominantly focused on OBSESSIVE THINKING about people & trifle issues. Our thinking is molded by how society will think about us in a future time period & our behavior. We are imprisoned by our intangible thoughts about the future, in the present moment.  

Question - Is it possible to come out of this Self Imposed Prison ?  The answer is YES, but at a cost of another complex dilemma. If I am OUT of the prison & all others are IN, then again I am isolated, to be branded as different, marginalized, even ostracized which brings us back to square one - Uncomfortable inside my skin, socially unacceptable. 

WHAT IS THEN OK ?

Now the FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION arises, If this is not OK then what is OK. Anything that makes you COMFORTABLE INSIDE YOUR SKIN is OK. So let us pursue it & see where we arrive. 

INTERNAL BUZZ

The turbulent waves of the society generate a toxic environment from where the average thinking mind picks up the negative vibrations. These inputs trigger perceptions & associations which are an obstruction in our day to day performance as human beings. Over time these hurdles snowball into low grade anxiety which is akin to constant  background noise. This buzz makes us feel heavier & drains out most of our productive energy making us into weak Souls. As weak souls we perform our karmas against our Conscience thereby creating Internal conflict. This inner fighting compels us to compromise our Integrity which of course is counter productive.

WILL POWER

All the above mental distractions & weaknesses obstruct our Clarity of Thinking. At this point WILL POWER can help us, steer away from this crap of negativity & free our overloaded  minds from these interference & make it available for the subsequent stages of Concentration.

Initiation is a decision to think about a subject. The very first thought must be : I am a point of light. I am an Eternal Soul. Hold this thought for some time. It is the essence of Consciousness of the Human Beings.

Intellect is the Instrument of the Conscience that chooses the focus of Concentration. Allow exclusive thoughts to penetrate into your mind.  This will lead to more subtle thinking. Going deep into the mind refines the intellect. 
Conscience is the power of discernment. Ultimately we come to terms with the fact that we pay attention to go with the positive, in-spite of the excitement of the negative within us. 

GUILT & FORGIVENESS

Our past leads us into feeling GUILTY. It weakens our personality. Can we clean up the guilty conscience with forgiveness. Can I forgive myself. If Yes then with what Authority. Therefore it is difficult for us to forgive ourselves. Hence have MERCY for self. Go easy on yourself.
   
Mediation is the next stage of Concentration. It is gathering together associated & relevant thoughts. It is a choice to ponder upon what thoughts are worth thinking about. You chose from the wide spectrum of thoughts. Of course only Pure Positive & Powerful thoughts. 

Mental focus means Independent of of distractions.

Concentration is mind focused on one associated thought. Issues preying on your mind pull your attention away from the matter in hand. Concentration will lead us into present time, the now of the moment. It develops inner muscle that directs your thinking. Concentration is completely focused state of mind, free of all distractions. Right thoughts at high speed.

Realization is arriving at your destination. Totally quiet mind & soul experiences fulfillment. Refined state of mind, perfect inner stillness is empowering. At this point Insights are revealed which broaden our Wisdom of Human Existence. 

Final Question - What is my Value Vs What are my Values looking at oneself in terms of morality & ethics. I can not be allowed to be driven by Public Opinion, hence I create my own MORALITY. We create a reference point as opposed to extremes.

BALANCE

Balance is the mid point solution between PERFECTION & IMPERFECTION. To make a wholesome decision you consider everything & all aspects, Past, Present & Future too. We accept & work with our imperfections in order to be balanced. We bring ourselves to an attainable point, an optimum reference point. We can not control the behavior of others but definitely we can control / manage our emotions in face of some ones unacceptable behavior. Words & actions correspond with our Conscience, not prove that I am right. I let others have their opinions & I live with mine. The name of the game is CO-EXIST comfortably & happily.
