Prespectives and Choices...

It’s been quite a long time that I have penned down my thoughts, and just like a very normal modern day cosmo chum, am gonna blame it all on my work and busy life. Well to write this post has got quite a different motivation in itself and this by all means breaks all standards and tone of my blog. Ain’t feeling that rebellious today and with my head filled with so many questions and priorities to which empty blank space seems to have lost all the answers, I here attempt to deal with one. The other complicated stuff, some other time perhaps.

This smoke got its spark from yesterday night’s pre marriage party, won’t say a bachelor party cos nothing of the sort happened for one of my room mates. These guys have been in a relationship for almost a decade now and guess what its just confidence and faith that pulled them through. You guys know what I am talking about right??? Guy’s folks say No, Gal’s folks say No…they decide it has to be them or no one…gave themselves 1 year of time for the parents to sink this in and after 1.5 years of courtship they finally tie the knot with both families consent. And so has been the start of many many fabulous happy life stories…The second kick to this was when I finally decided to complete my Orkut profile and got stuck at the question of “About me”… this started the chain of thoughts as to the primitive essence of our existence and its necessity.

At its most basic and fundamental level, there is no “purpose" to existence beyond the simple, sufficient and magnificent manifestation of Reality, as it is. In this sense, the "purpose" of our existence is simply to release our resistance to our experience as it manifests within the present moment. It is this process of letting go that allows us to fully appreciate and accept Reality, as it is here and now, with a full recognition that:

In my experience, "purpose" and "meaning" do not exist as a means to some other external end. They are inherent within the nature of Reality, itself -- exactly as it is. Reality needs no reason or purpose to justify its existence. It is innately satisfying, self-sufficient, and self-fulfilled.
It is only within the relative, thinking mind that we believe things must have some reason or purpose to exist, above and beyond their own innate Presence. With the experience of Awakening, this need to justify the existence of Reality falls away. It is experienced as completely and innately self-sufficient.

Awakening to the essential of Reality involves recognizing that nothing requires another
point of reference to justify its existence. In fact, some have described the nature and purpose of existence as consciousness discovering itself. Within this context, it may be helpful to understand the "purpose" of our existence, both yours and mine, as an expression and celebration of this infinite unfolding and discovery. In this sense, the entire purpose of manifest existence is simply to facilitate the realization of who and what
you really are. There is nothing more or other.

I believe we define ourselves by the choices we make at each step and no choice is easy to make and the only constant factor in the whole giant saga\fiasco we call life is that no choice is right or wrong. And in the end its all we have to live with so the only motivating factor which makes any sense is self happiness cos, happiness is always the strongest propogative force, and it always makes your closed ones happy when you are happy…. Having that said I believe its my time to put my pen down. The sun is almost about to set in my home country and very soon this country will see its first ray of sunshine for the day… till next time peace to all, and a smile to every face on this planet…
