Let it be His way...

Sometimes presence of God around us is so strongly felt. We are given no choice. But to believe in Him, and accept His plan. May be its His way to make us aware of his presence.

Mumbai meri jaan

Yesterday I saw Mumbai meri jaan. My say on the movie is, Indian bollywood has been elevated to a new height in the recent past. Movies like summer 2007, Dor, Black n White, a Wednesday and to an extent “C” kompnay have not been made only for the box office, but to awaken the sleeping mankind.
Indian film industry is indeed doing a fantabulous job by making movies on subjects which no one likes to touch. Which no one likes to speak about. Not only is it making people aware of the facts n reality, but also lessening the gap that has come between humans.
Mumbai meri jaan for example might appear to some of the audiences as just a a story about the situation after the blasts in Mumbai. I feel that theres more to it, played by actor Paresh Rawal.
The concept of common man has been common in these films. How a common man feels is clearly portrayed by the script. And not only the helplessness of a common man, but also what a common man can do, is depicted. A common man has the strongest power in his hands. Whereas on the contrast, common man feels that he can do nothing. If a common man comes down to doing something, he alone would be sufficient to shake n break all the negativities in the society. What is needed is awareness. Awareness of how to use his powers, so that it goes in a positive direction only, n another Godhra is not created again.
When a common man revolts, a mob of revolutionaries (actively or passively) follow him. This mob should know which direction to take, otherwise it just creates another problem instead of a solution.
Father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi was one such figure who knew how to steer the mob in a positive direction. It doesn’t take any extra powers to become a leader like that. We just need to realize the main motto of our lives, of our revolution. Its not necessary to become a leader. Its not necessary to create disturbances. What is necessary is, to bring a positive change in the society.
Aggression or offensiveness isn’t needed. Calm minds with deeper insights are needed. A clear purpose is needed for a revolution. A revolution which is not aimed at harming, but creating more peace, is needed. For this revolution, one doesn’t have to go n sit on roads. One doesn’t need to protest. One just needs to understand. Understanding their own selves n everyone around them. One needs to be reminded of brotherhood. One needs to be reminded that everyone of us is made of the same tissue n bone. Everyone of us has blood flowing through our veins. Everyone of us is the same creation of God. The first n foremost thing about being alive is, we are similar creation of God. It hurts everyone the same way when some harm is caused. Religion, castes, status, all these are man made things. If everyone around the world is stripped off with the name, religion, money, status etc, we would be the same common man. When at that time we can understand n accept each other,y cant we right now. Why cant we accept that we are one. That its just are ways of living which is different. Why should we do anything which could harm anyone in the world. What would we feel if we were at their place. And we would be, one day or the other.
People who know me say im impractical. I want you all to help me become practical. I want you all to suggest me ways.
Would you help?

system..God knows..

Every day theres some or the other news in the newspaper stating a murder probe going on without any outcome, or some bribary case, or some minister who has been freed in spite of having done so many crimes.

Everyday there are so many people who are fighting with the system for some or the other cause.

In every political or govt body theres an inner fight going on at some stage against the system.

In our day to day lives we find so many examples everyday where there are struggles, fights against the system, agitation..helplessness, corruption, improper functioning of the system etc etc.

And in all these issues the sufferers are the same people, like us, no different than us, who have to go through all the pain alone.

But we, human being, we the intellectual ones, wont care. We are so busy in earning money and fame, that we don’t have time for all these stupid things. And even if we do, why should we indulge in this dirty system politics. Its better to stay away.

We don’t realize this small thing, that this would one day come onto us also. This would one day be our own problem. And then, just like we are saying it right now, people would say for us. Why would they want to indulge for a fight that is our own.

This way our world wont go anywhere. We will always remain a part of this dirty system. We would always keep on knowingly or unknowingly encouraging the dirty system, until a day would come. That day, our lives would suffer the consequences. That day our daughter would be killed like arushi and we would be convicted for murder. That day our own family members would be run down by a car by some rich kid. That day our own parents would be killed just for petty some of money by the robbers. That day we would get no doctors at any hospital to save our kins.

But we, blinded by our own selfishness, wont ever understand this, until we go through it. The worst factor of our mankind is this, we don’t learn from others experiences. We wait for it to happen with us.

What happened with Mr. Bachchan recently is the example of same system politics. He can do so much for the society. He can be a real life hero, by making people aware of the system. By gradually making a change in the society. He has a great fan following too. But we humans, we say that we will reach an esteemed position in the society and then think of this. And when we reach that position, we start considering ourselves above than all of this petty politics.

What a shame on us!!

We just think of our own selves. Never do we think about those who are suffering daily. Never do we think to change the system, to atleast help for a cause.

Life is a circle. Everything would come back to us one day. Every single event would be repeated. Just the difference would be, that time it would be us.

We are not intended to jump into some fight or start a revolution. Neither are we expected to sacrifice everything we have. We just have to show a little gesture to those who are sufferings. How can we say that we cant change the system. There are 1.13 billion people in india. All we have to do is to make those people who are running the state, to follow the system in its exact form. Are 1.13 billion people in any way incapable of doing it?

Even if we spare just an hour per week to think about it, we can make a change. It starts from within us, not outside us.

All we are intended to do id, to form a society of like minded people. This way atleast with the help of technology we can support and discuss with each other.

If we want, we can do a lot. But do we really want it? Are we willing to save our own selves from this system?

And if not, then please do remember, your turn to bear the blade would come soon. That time, you wont have any option, but to curse yourself for not bringing in the change.

do you agree?

i feel that todays world is blindly searching for something which actually doesnt at all exist in the world. it exists in ones own inner self.
i have a joint family, n i feel, sometimes we become so insensitive towards our own relatives, for the sole reason that we start thinking of our own individual happiness. we start believing that whatever money we have for example, or the resources we have, are created by ourselves.we forget that it is just a role given to us,to play , n this money is a part of that role, not of our own self.
we start thinking of our happiness by making people around us down. whereas we should think that until n unless we make everyone around us happy, until n unless we make our souls happy, we wont be able to become happy from inside.
we stop compromising on small small things, for our materialistic happiness. n its there that we seclude ourselves from everyone thinking that we can be happier alone. its then that we start dividing ourselves, or to say, disuniting ourselves.
we stop looking at those actual happiness that we get in a family. we stop sharing the emotions or feelings of people around us. we become dead to our own self.
also, the only thing, i feel which can bind a family together is love,i feel. n love is not taking,but giving. n actually when we experience it we will feel that we get more happiness in giving than in getting.
n hence this phenomenon totally discards any boundations or expectations from someone whom you love. because one would obviously want the person whom one loves to be happy, in whichever way.
if we understand this basic phenomenon of love n family, we can make the whole world a family. n all we will have to do is, share their feelings n emotions, share love, n experience the only truth which exists in all of us, which is God.
in practice it may seem difficult, n impractical, but if we start thinking beyond our own selves, beyond just our own needs n happiness, we would start our journey on the road to oneness.
n then, the principle of vasudhaiv kutumbkam would definitely come true.
