Walking Buddha


Walking Buddha 





Everyone's a walking Buddha.



 This idea seems strange and yet, is true.

Buddha, the enlightened one, as we all know started a true age of compassion. His methods were to remove the sufferings from the heart of the people. His preaching was that everyone and anyone can achieve Nirvana.

Gautam, as a prince who gave up his kingdom in search of God, had to struggle a lot. He was left on the verge of unbearable physical condition by his continued meditation. Only to be recovered by a girl.
He achieved Nirvana under a tree defying Mara and then desiring to be the moon, and he was.

His journey, but was just beginning to realize itself. On the way to stop the killing in his kingdom, travelling with his first pupils, he started a new beginning, the age of peace and prosperity for his people. He ended the war. Just as his journey was beginning to realize itself, the people around him started to move away from their self-created sufferings.

Buddha started an age of compassion without pondering over the dogma of God. He believed that everyone of us is capable of achieving Nirvana, that, all of us carry the same desire to get away from desire and sufferings. Follow the path and you can achieve it.

After a long period when he was leaving us, he told his pupils that he has shown the light, now you have to carry it forward.

I believe that everyone embodies that light that he started till now. Anyone who uses his strength to do better for himself, his family, his community, his city, and his country and the world sees this light. You can search through the monumental knowledge ocean only to find that the actual ray of light comes from you. You have the hope that you look for and which is much needed in this world.

Buddha left his kingdom in search of the truth about his self, due to his detachment with the worldly life. He could take it no more. And at the same time when any of us journeys through life, we are often filled with regret and remorse many a times. But we all have that special light of ray in the form of an idea, an ideal, a loved one, or events that happen.

We all are the embodiment of this ray of light, the very compassion that the enlightened one started and carried through his heart. We all are in a sense a Buddha capable of bringing a monumental change to this world just like he did.

His light still carried from ages only to find it at the crossroads of humanity. As president Obama says, we have become complacent in achieving those ideals that we once fought for. That now is the time to seize the opportunity to start a new chapter for this tired world. It’s tired from the endless conflicts, status-quos, and dogmas. The focus on the important issues like tackling corruption, uplifting the Dark Continent or saving the earth (before its only choice is to pave the way of destruction for us), is much needed.

WE are already seeing it, the world wants change, and it is due time to collectively deliver it the same

The Test of Time

The Test of Time We all face the test of time once at least in our lives. We may think it's all the time that it's what is defining our daily lives. Yet nothing can be farther from the truth. In the sum total of all that we go through, the tough times, the trials, and all everything is woven together and entangled in the fabric of a few, in many cases a singular Choice. This Choice comes to define our lives. Some may realize it only on their deathbed, others when it is too late to do something. But We Are doing something and it's never too late in this life or the afterlife. Why does this Choice and Why This choice only defines us?  It is because it has what encompassed the purpose of why we were born. That do or die, make or break, is the moment when we make an innocent selection of principles to define our lives. We live on them without realizing that they are defining us, but our subconscious knows it and this fact is what keeps us together from the myriads of the mind a...

WONDER

WONDER S omething to gaze upon, Fill your mind with Wonder, Something to get lost into, Till you can't think of another. R ealized I have no control, In the place of wonder, Senses take over me, My heartbeat is a skip, and into her eyes, I am lost. F or when you are lost, the time is so soft, And then a lofty quest, Comes out of its rest, Inside the spell, cast it is, a challenge to be found, Inside in the nest, Success is this the time for your calling, want to just be lost in wonder when I, Break free from one, Wonder is the choice, quick as a prey fish, For choice could be lost, focus and pick one, and rise from the ashes. S o pretty the view, from where I am, I got lifted by her majesty's loving glance. Y es, I chose wonder over luck any other day, for what is success without a sense of wonder, Yes, I am, I am high, Rising out of darkness, she brings me to light, Bright face in front of me, I couldn't resist, For what charm i needed, when she's is a keep.

Absentia

Absentia As the name suggests, I am referring to moments in your life when you do some activity with the presence of your mind in something else. In that moment you are stuck in, there's no place else you'd rather be but in that memory or thought that makes you forget what you were doing in the first place. It is like a memory of the past, or your vision of future. You aren't ready to decide how to settle that thought and get back to your task. That invariably is like a conscience that won't allow you to get forward without answering it. And in those moments, do you wish that you would have changes something in the past, changed the moments you regret and which you realize only then. It is definitely the strike of conscience. You feel you wouldn't have been so proud of a being and be that human that would just listen to your heart and do it.. Which could have changed the moments to come or the moments you have lived. You can ignore it but then it gets stronger and c...
