CURRENT MISSION

To immortalise immortality!To dance to the tunes of thunderstorms!To usher in revolutions!More than anything else I am on a mission to find the ultimate on knowing which I will no longer have any mission in my life, to reach the ultimate truth!

ABOUT ME

For those who are averse to heavy-stuff and prefer the happy-go-lucky ways :

Music, Movies, Travelling, Poetry, food, wine, Writing, Science, Spirituality, Philosophy,history!Anything above and below the sun interests me!This world is my playground and I love the game!Very curious by nature, idealistic and philosophical, free-spirited idealism and not the one which chains the human nature!

For the ones who revel in the heaviness or the absurd-dazed-confused-awesomeness of life and universe:

Freedom lies in truth and truth lies in freedom.Call it truth, love, freedom, god, ecstacy, purpose or any of the millions of names by which humanity defines existence, I am a seeker of truth and nothing else.The concept of rebel needs to be introduced.Every man is rebelling against something or the other.The thief rebels against the poverty of riches by stealing, the rich against the poverty of existence by gathering more riches or distributing their riches to the world, the saint rebels by renouncing and tries to manifest the divinity already present in every man, hippies rebelled by exploring consciousness and taking to anti-materialistic-Simple lifestyles and so on!In the broadest sense or at the most fundamental scale life is rebelling against death, Strength against weakness, Freedom against slavery.And so is the whole universe rebelling against bondage.Man is the most divine being in the universe and for me, him rebelling against materialistic discomforts, which most of humanity is doing, is a slap on the best creation of nature.He is destined for greater glories and that is what I am seeking.After all my soul searching and turning the pages of mankind, I have come to understand that the more a man rebelled against nature the more he conquered it and the ones who were truly in love with freedom found nothing less than immortality!And that is what I am after.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Many a great souls have made this assertion in various ways:

One said, "The kingdom of heaven lies within us."
And another said : "Thou art that."

And I wholeheartedly subscribe to these inspired sayings.That, for the true, fearless seeker life is an adventurous struggle , that the struggle is never a never- ending descent into chaos, not a descent into maya, but on the contrary-if done wisely, would result in putting an end to all the struggles, an ascent into Nirvana!Infinite in his nature,Infinite in his desires and infinite in his capabilities, Man is a fallen god who remembers heaven and can regain his lost glory and capture the throne of all the heavens if he wants to in this very life!
I believe life is not a whim of the cosmic mind, but has a beautiful plan according to which evolution has been unfolding newer forms and man's destiny has been defined.This beautiful plan is called LOVE!The divine-love-consciousness is working behind all of creation and this divinity is trying to manifest itself more and more through love or freedom.All we need is love and all the world needs is love!Love for the sake of love and reach the destiny of man!This what I believe in!

To quote two of my heroes:

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth!" - Thoreau.

"I want the why of everything, I leave the how to children." - Swami Vivekananda.

The truth and the why of everything is LOVE!Love for the sake of love to attain to Nirvana, to reach the end of knowledge, to conquer the whole of nature!Sounds like a very weak philosophy?Weak in terms of the strength of the rationale?Heart says love should be the answer, reason doesn't contradict this but yet sinks our heart because of the lack of rigorousness which is found in science!As long as inspiration doesn't contradict reason, let it flow through the veins and possess the mind and heart!Many a great souls traversed this road to reality and found the reality which is beyond all delusion and darkness!A saint who stumbled upon this truth proclaimed in trumphet voice:

“Hear, ye children of immortal bliss! Even ye that dwell in higher spheres! For I have found that Ancient One who is beyond all darkness, all delusion. And knowing Him, ye also shall be saved from death.”

Thats about me and my philosophy!

PHILOSOPHY

Guess I mentioned most of it in my ABOUT ME.Here is a poem I wrote which expresses my deepest emotions, aspirations and philosophy!

Its called HOW and WHY!

O my poor brothers drowned in the quagmire called HOW,
Imagine,
Sand Castles,
Strengthened with the spell of TRUTH,
Are erected on the shores of the ocean called WHY,
With the unwavering efforts of Sailors,
Coming from distant lands,
Who don’t share much in common,
But are united by the cause of sailing,
In this seemingly never-ending ocean,
Fighting the mighty waves called ANGUISH.
With the crowning glory of SATCHIDANANDA finally in sight,
The spell of GOD is cast on the final sand-castle,
Which no wave can waver!

O my mortal fools,Fighting for ephemeral pleasures,
In the quagmire of HOW,
The ocean of WHY is plenty bountiful.
For the ones who dared to enter the rough uncharted waters,
Immortality blessed them,
And lived an eternity in an hour,
Sailors became the saints!

How life sprung from the lifeless?
Whence has this universe been created?
Is an atom as big as the milky way?
Are we immortals?
Timeless questions these are,
Worth spending all your time!

O cold-blooded monsters,
Stinking in the quagmire of HOW,
Does not your heart sink?
At the sight of your brothers in Pain.
Only those live forever,
Who live for others!

Remember,
The quagmires you are in,
Are but the fruits of the martyred sailors!

Let the sail of FREEDOM be unfurled,
And set sail in the ocean of WHY,
Guided by these immortal words of Thoreau,
“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth”.
