Random yet not that random either.

It so happened that thoughts of mine snow-balled into something bigger than a couple of lines when put on paper, yet not that big, individually, to form a complete blog post. You can expect views on diverse topics as death, Advaitha philosophy, and long distance relationships.

Advaitha Philosophy: What this highest form of Indian religious thought preaches is that the God that you were seeking outwards is with in you. ‘Aham Bramhasmi` meaning “I am Brahma, I am God, I am he”. The only logical way of explaining this, according to me is this: The world that the God created has to be created out of something. It’s obvious to us that something cannot be made out of nothing. It’s absurd to think otherwise. So assuming that the world was not there during the time of creation, God must have created the world from within him. The effect that the world is, is just the same as the cause. (God)

Death: Now, to most mortals, unless pressed upon, the idea of death doesn’t occur to be the other equivalent logical half of birth (its simple because you cannot imagine birth without death; or vice versa). Even otherwise, I wanted to reason out why death shouldn’t be an occasion for mourning or a topic for breaking our heads. For the class of theists – a class which believes in an omniscient, all pervading God. The fact that death of someone ‘HAS’ happened implies that this is how God willed/intended it be. To wish against this is to wish against Gods will from execution. For the nihilist, his birth is just as random an occurrence as any other. Death shouldn’t be a shocker to him, and if it is, I’d only ask the spineless fella to at least believe in what he thinks is true.

Long Distance relationships: For all those with a substantial hearing loss from all those long calls to your special someone far away, for those who have bitten a good deal of the skin covering the nails along with the nails, in paranoia of their being ditched, I have one question. “Why do you want to get into something so superficial and ephemeral?” Don’t get me wrong, I am not against the calls/ constant touch. It just occurs to me that if mere physical presence and joint activity were the props of a relation, is that relation worth the headache?

The thing what u have said is exactly true.

Life and death is a routine process. and should stop at somewhere at some point.
To find out, there are few ways like,
to be like a sage, and chanting all mantras for appearance of so called god wishing to stop this life and death process in this moment.

or

doing few things which have been done already by many people like MOTHER THERESA
else

do ur own alloted work in this world. No need of helping or doing some favour to any.Instead, It's better of not doing any bad things to any kind of living and non--living beings


and moreover, It is said that, among all janmas, this human janma is greatest.

my view is rule out of all the philosophical views of others , as unless it occurs to u( frm within) , it wont persist in u .......

so if v call god as, all d negative & all d +ve <=> he is absolute neutral.
away frm duality [ all d +ve&-ve..big&small,good&bad ]

if u think urself as 80%good u r 80% away frm god ( lol since he is neutral ).......

@ Adarsh : Totally agree that self-realization is essential; else all of this is babies-talk.

But, u need some ideal, some goal. Advaithism is that goal to me. Else , one would be like a blind guy in a maze searching for a way out.

ya tru m8 , a map is compulsory ...tats y ter is a necessity for a realized guru .
guru will provide initial threshold , rest depends on a very big ,but easiy to understand , called karma , the tricky part , i call it tricky bcas any dimension of karma u look into will be easy ..lol

if advaita, since i dont know much about it , quenches ur thirst for satisfaction, at highest point , it wud be gr8
