I believe in only what I can see - Bullshit!

Recently somebody said he doesn't believe in God because he hasn't really seen him. But then I asked him a few questions -

# Do you believe in Oxygen?
# Do you believe in black holes?
# Do you believe in Gravity?
# Do you believe in love?
# Do you believe in anger?

Have you actually seen any of the above? Probably you have felt it or believed somebody else who claims to have seen or measured or proved its existence.

If you really think about this, there is no concrete way to justify the current nature of our reality? Complicated, right?

Whether you are a man of science or a man of religion or both, if you really ask yourself, all you have is faith - the choice to believe in whatever you want. And then probably finding out logical reasons to justify it, isn't it?

You might be thinking some things are facts and others simply hearsay, and you choose to believe in only facts. There should be black and white and not just grey, right?

Well, the scientific fact is we still don't understand 95% of the universe - dark energy, dark matter and what not!

What I like about the lack of clarity - Space and time continue to function independent of what our beliefs are but our beliefs enable us to define our own reality. Isn't this a gift?

I believe in an unknown energy - mountains is where it becomes very real for me.. The attraction, the beauty, the aliveness, the pull, the awe, the magic.

And here I go again to sip the magic of the mountains, when it's no more about who am I or what I believe in, it's just about the beauty of the present moment.

Where is the anger, fear, anxiety, happiness, sadness or depression?

The simplest answer is – within us. In our minds. Not in external reality. Let’s understand this. Imagine your favorite food item – a jar full of butter chicken or rich creamy chocolate or chole bhature. Whatever it is. Can you remember its taste and the fulfillment it provided when you had it last. You absolutely loved it, right? Now imagine having the same dish just after a personal tragedy – an ugly breakup or a bitter fight or a missed promotion. Does it still feel that delicious? No, right! Mostly, you don’t feel like eating only at that point of time right and even if you do, it tastes like any other food item you would have had. The butter chicken was exactly the same in reality. But it didn’t feel the same at all, right? Because your perception was clouded by the negativity in your mind. What if exactly this phenomenon is happening with you 24 hours of the day? What if you never experience reality as it is but just respond to mental storie...

Deception: Good Intentions ---> Ugly Consequences!

It’s a tricky headline, right! Counter-intuitive maybe as common sense says bad intentions mostly lead to ugly consequences but even good intentions cause a lot of havoc in our daily lives, everyday and everywhere around us. Let’s go a little deeper. Don’t you observe ‘good’ people trying to do the best for others – shielding them from sadness, pain, disappointment etc. etc. by hiding things from them which ends up messing things up even more? Every day I see a lot of actions born out of positive deep-seated feelings causing immense pain to those around. The pain is simply delayed and in majority of the cases, multiplied by a factor of 10. Why does this happen so frequently? Despite the best of intentions, why do people end up fucking things up? Is it because we are too optimistic about the consequences of our actions? Everything Will Get Fine syndrome we are caught in Is it the over-confidence on our own abilities to make things right?           ...
