Feeding the Soul

Many mistake spiritual awakening to be the awareness of God and service to a higher being. who we never met. Some others think it is the beginning of self development and the desire to evolve. However no amount of introspection, reading and retrospection will help build the Spirit account. Spirit account is created the day you allow yourself to challenge beliefs and taught concepts. It progresses to a stage where being alone and the first to voice concern is no longer frightful. You find the eternal truth when you realise almost everyone and everything is transient... the one reality is THIS life you hold - which comes with a due date that nobody knows. I call it a due date because while what is due to your existence wont be paid in cash - it will be certainly paid - in how you will be remembered. We are remembered for THOUGHTS & ACTIONS only. How ordinary will your legacy be ? How inspiring will your memory be ?

I find it hard to fool myself into believing, subsistence justifies LIFE. Earning to raise a family, showing up at work, shopping, travelling, entertaining, giving your children the best of schools and saving for them and for you, is why we were born - This JUST CAN'T be all. The poorest of poor are capable of procreation and adding to their brood. Where biology is not in wanting this is not a feat; but a universal possibility. So declaring productivity as life's greatest contribution, makes logical sense only if your progeny will be the next Nikola Tesla or Albert Einstein. Even the poor comply breaking their backs to fend and feed, so tell me - What really separates the privileged with fabulous education and calibre from those in abject poverty ? The average beggar on the Indian street is doing exactly what all others are - so do we vary only in our lifestyle standards and means ? Shouldn't the knowledge and education we possess help us rise a tad bit ?

Your best Life's ally is only YOU. Nobody can deposit into your Spirit account. Your actions and choices each day drop in value or makes it improve. The Spiritually awakened do not show allegiance to religion. They responsibly turn their back on every holy book there is; the more it preaches itself to be the ONLY RIGHT and with that invoking intolerance. They instead pick up the pages on torn human, societal and environmental realities - to read, to understand and to develop. We are not required to change the government, the law, the policies or demographic status of a nation....but can you change, improve and bring rationality among the few people you know ? Can you live up to new ideals...walk the talk ? Make those you know and and those who know you - THINK ? Bring about that much little change that holds the promise of changing another thousand lives ? 

Change radicals - they think, they ask and they DO ... even if few. 

So who are You ? "
