Hey guys!! Was wondering what to write for my first post on my blog.I realised that it was all about my thoughts and how i felt about some issues. What I would be more interested in though, would be transforming all of this thought and words into some action...Karma, to be precise. Certainly easier said than done, but i know it will happen. Being a practical person, I rather not use the phrase "fool's paradise" in any sense.
Coming to the point, off late a lot of my observations have made me think that it is what people think that they are judged upon. I guess I need not cite any examples if we think about it in the right frame but...
For example, take your boss at work. The character of "The Boss" for me has become an epitome of animosity, hatred, ignorance and Redefined stupidity. Why???
Consider that colleague or friend of yours who let you down sometimes when you thought he or she would be there for you. Felt ill-at-ease for quite some time after some incident of that sort? Did a lot of thinking as to why it happened? Then comes the most common form of convincing oneself that it was a part of life by saying "I should not have expected anything" or making yourself party to those entities out there who felt equally fucked up and start believing that it hurts real bad when you expect something.
I guess it’s pointless to point out any more examples if you still don't get the point. What has been depicted above is the result of one not doing his/her karma. These are just a few examples of what makes the things or people what they are.
Let me tell you that it is not at all wrong to expect. Unless its unreasonable (yeah, everything has a cliché).It is that person who you thought would be there who failed to do his/her karma. It is your boss who sat on a decision for you don't know how long that complicated things for you. It is the government which has failed to help those innocent millions .All this happened not because what you wanted could not happen. It was not wanted to happen. I don't know for what reason but let's face it. It’s still related to what was the karma of the entity in the hot seat...the government, your boss, your colleagues, your friends, your parents (yeah you got that right!!). Anyone for that matter.
Mind you this is not some cynical opinion from some seriously upset person. Right now, I am a very satisfied and happy person. I love the life that i am living. Yet this article comes amidst all this graceful existence for only one reason: My karma. I did the right thing by saying no to commitment (for the time being),to drugs, to a lot of things that don't even matter to me (maybe even you) because of what I think .And to those who think I am avoiding owning up to my failures and just want to blame someone or something for my karma, I can't help it if you think its wrong to expect or your boss is an asshole but you have to live with it.
Remember it’s not wrong to question one's actions. Just make sure you do your karma. It’s your
license to moral authtority.So go ahead and do the right thing:kick that bully from school right in the balls, slap that person who keeps spitting in front of you, try getting your work done without paying a bribe, stop doing things that don't mean anything to you, stop doing things just to look cool.Whatever it may be, just do the right thing. But remember that your karma will also have its own effects, not only on you but others around you.So think on your own before doing anything.This is the sole reason people like Gandhi and Nathuram Ghodse co-existed:they were sent to do their karma.And they did it,each one being right in their own way.They did commit mistakes,serious ones.But this is what separates mortals from the immortals.And although they died,it is their actions that continue to inspire and make us realise that its all about Karma!
