Pessimism --- Good or bad?

It is not that optimism is good and pessimism is bad. Both are functional and have value. It is mostly impossible for an average person to approach life and its every day situations with a neutral state of being. One is either tackling a situation with an inherent sense of pessimism or is surging ahead with optimism. What has changed is the way successful people often employ pessimism in a strategic way to motivate and prepare themselves for the future. It is not that optimism is not a perfect state. But the more ideal way to deal with things is  acknowledge every emotion,:accept what is and move from there.

The smart ones  manipulate pessimism in their favor At times it prepares you  for cautionary measures..

We are all trying to chase optimism  but then pessimism has also values At times we need to accept whatever happens in life.

Society upgradation

There is a simple answer to the problems of a corrupt society.
Every man who wishes to rectify the state of affairs must regulate his own life according to the standards of truth, honesty and unselfishness which he believes should control the whole society. He cannot control the whole society; he can control only himself.

It will operate by the power of example and with the spread of ripples from such individual action it is expected that the whole of society will be upgraded.

Qawwali & Sufi

Music plays a great role in the spiritual attainment. The Chistis call it the food of the soul. They listen to Qawwali. The atmosphere is charged with magnetism, harmony and peace. The nature of love,lover and beloved is expressed. The Qawwals sing the verses distinctly. The tabla players keep the rhythm even. The Sufi already set to music, joins with the rhythm and harmony of the music. His emotional nature at  times has its full play. His joy and feeling can not be explained. Language is inadequate to express them.

 This state is termed "HAL". Hal means condition

The state of ecstasy is no different from the natural condition of man moved to tears either on separation from the one he loves or when overjoyed on the arrival of his long expected beloved

ASHTAVAKRA

Ashtavakra was the son of a lesser disciple of the great sage Uddalaka.The disciple married to Uddalaka's daughter.The unborn child, who already had mastered the Vedas,kept twisting and turning within the womb, unable to bear his father's mistakes in recitation, and  was therefore born with eight deformations. Hence he was called Ashta (8) Vakras ( bends).
Ashtavakra went on to become a great sage himself., and had  the honor of having  the King Janaka  as one of his students.
Ashtavakra, one of the Mithila's "Vibhutis" wrote Gita, " THE ASHTAVAKRA GITA". It has been called "a quantum leap into the absolute"
Even the Bhagvad Gita does not have the majesty found in it------ it is simply unparalleled

It teaches how one can rest in the stillness from which emerge the qualities of life and love, peace and compassion, bliss and enlightenment.

Pain

In the heart of pain,no matter how dark it feels--- there is always light,there is always healing.

Your Soul steps in and brings you absolution. Your Soul never abandons you and lifts you into its light

We spend our lives running from pain, doing everything we can to avoid feeling it, yet only when we can run no longer, and the pain breaks us open, when we dont'care if  we live or die and often prefer to die,we let ourselves be touched by this light that has been there all along.

Things are not what they seem. Times are changing There is new freedom in the air. Freedom from pain, freedom from the past. you are birthing it within yourself. Can you feel it? The stirring, the awaakening ,the magic?

It does not matter if you dont' understand it and if you cant' see how. Let go off your need to once again  have everything fit into a neat and logical explanation. It might be a mystry. Rejoice in it. Open your arms wide and embnrace it. You shall have bliss.

The world is splitting. Two roads lie ahead. We can not travel both. We can choose joy or we can choose pain.

An epitaph to a women by her husband states "She cried every day, but not from sadness, but because the world's so beautiful and life's so short."

SHE MUST HAVE HER SHARE OF MISFORTUNE AND PAIN,AND YET SHE CHOSE TO LIVE IN GRATITUDE AND WAS MOVED BY BEAUTY.

Future fruits

A man was planting a garden. Somebody asked him,"What are you doing old man? Will you be able to enjoy the fruits of this garden? Your one leg is already in the grave"

Thr gardener replied, "Others had planted gardens, and we enjoy the fruits. Now I am planting the garden,and others will enjoy its fruits after me".

                     THAT IS HOW THE BUSINESS OF THE WORLD GOES ON.
