Pray, Meditate, Spread Love.

The day of my exam, I would wake up with my stomach churning. Which led me to dream that my life would be so much better in a few years from now – no exams, ideal job and all that. But if you come to think, many adults today wake up everyday with the same feeling I had while going to the exam hall - still hoping for an ideal job; a day when everything will be alright because it ought to? No, No, No!! We are in our ideal state right now.

Within tears, find a hidden laughter;
seek treasure amid ruins, sincere one.

– Rumi

Nuclear war – the pressing issue of the day!?! One of the books I read as part of my syllabus at the university was Fate of the Earth by Jonathan Schell where he talks about a potential nuclear holocaust. He tries to scare the hell out of us and states that we are “doomed”. With a touch of sarcasm he says, when the entire human species is dying with you, it is not death after all. It will be the death of death and hence not death as we know it. That isn't true. When we come to the understanding that we are infinite awareness, there won't be any death. As pure consciousness, we have no death at all. Death is for the body mind. Well, the book communicates to us that we should awaken to the reality and stop being ignorant. Yes, the Satanic minds are working out their strategies. I have no clue as to how we could stop a nuclear blast. The bombs have been manufactured. Apparently, there are 30 nuclear bombs in our planet. Which means that this human body is not likely to have human experiences anymore – not in this planet. We might be born in Mars or some other galaxy. I rather think that a potential nuclear holocaust is a way to inflict fear in humanity. We can heal humanity if we replace fear with abundant love. All our worries are about the future. Never about the present. Because there just cannot be any worry in the present state of being. A simple way of shifting our focus from fear and anger to love is by accepting what is. Live for the moment. Live to enjoy every moment. You have, of course, heard the old saying - Live this day like it’s the last day of your life. Here it is – accept that this bodily experience is going to end sooner or later. Pray for a peaceful life. And make sure you have had the most amazing experiences living in this beautiful body of yours. Forget the nuclear war. Let’s liberate ourselves from negative thoughts and thereby liberating the world from negative effects. Let’s pray, meditate and spread love! _/|\_

The Native Americans have a saying: When we heal ourselves, we heal seven generations behind and seven generations ahead. We have the power in our hand. It is our choice.
