A Materialistically rich country cannot afford to be Spiritually poor


Ancient man was a profound thinker, as he had lesser things to cloud his intelligence or limit his thinking prowess. He was better connected with the happenings around him. Even the most subtle of changes in his environment was noticed, studied and pondered upon. This created an awakening which cannot be substituted by any amount of education. Man was much better connected with his soul then, as compared to now. All ancient civilizations like Egyptian, Indus valley, Mesopotamian, Mayan, etc boast of the knowledge of the inner self, as numerous archaeological findings prove. They were believers in a higher power, capable of liberating, as well as punishing. Science was still budding. As times progressed, the ancient school of thought vanished and almost died away. Facts turned into legend, and legend into myth. The need of the hour was to procure resources for the growing tribe. And the only way to do this was to snatch them from the weaker ones. The ancient barbaric strains seen in Vikings, the Mongols, and the Huns is now reciprocated in their descendant…modern man.
Though socially developed, modern man has this burgeoning desire in himself to acquire, to possess. Having more than one’s neighbor seems to be the only driving force left in man. This inane quest for material goods has dulled mans senses, and filled him with an illusion, that hoarding is the key to nirvana. What he fails to understand, is the temporary nature of these things. Our own Hindu culture explains the concept of “Maya” in great detail. It says, that everything in this world, even the human body, is a mirage, an illusion of the mind. What really exists, is the soul, and the higher power with which it eventually connects, following a never ending cycle of rebirths, unless a person realizes the real importance of material goods. This concept, though not proven scientifically, may have been our elders’ way of teaching us the virtue of simple living and high thinking. Just imagine, the implications such an attitude would have on the world!!
The chief capitalist hub, the US would stop its quest of superficial power, and would leave all other developing countries alone, to peacefully pursue their ambitions. Come to think of it, even the developing countries would stop running the rat race, and pursue what really exists: spiritual peace; and an all pervading satisfaction…an understanding of oneself, and the experience of utopian bliss! All forms of wars and unrest in the name of religion would come to a standstill, as it does not take an Einstein to figure out, that the basic principles of all religions are essentially the same! A satisfied and happy mind would not need religious crutches to walk; it can run, on its own, unbound, free of all shackles of what is so incorrectly termed as rational thought!
Man calls himself the most intelligent species on the planet, when he is actually the most confounded being. What he fails to realize is, that happiness is supposed to be searched for within oneself, and not in some temporarily satisfying material product. Happiness lies, not at the end of the road, but in the journey itself. And the sooner man realizes this, can he throw open the windows of enlightenment upon his blighted soul, free it of all restraint, and be really rich…not in monetary terms, but a richness that is absolute. A richness that can be shared, but cannot be snatched away by anyone. Such spiritual richness is the key to bliss.

New world order!!

If somebody told you, that life was always meant to be easy, that there is a higher power up there looking after us, & that everything will be all right, & it’s all a matter of time…..
Well…SOMEBODY lied!!!...
Nothing…Just nothing is Predetermined…
Whatever you are, is YOU, and not just another piece of jigsaw puzzle specially designed by someone else, MEANT to fall into place, at the right place, in the right time…..
YOU make it all happen, the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY!!!!

Your destiny or your fortune is not in the STARS, or in your PALMS…..
Even those who don’t have HANDS have a destiny….


THINK!!!!
OPEN UP, ACT!!!!!
THE WORLD NEEDS A NEW LEADER>>>


ARE YOU GAME????

The Beginning...

Hello Whoever!
Since today is the birthday of my blog, i'd just like to write about something special....ME!!!
Anyways, i think my speciality lies in my not being special. Im just this average joe, still trying to find my niche in life, stumbling across this great wide chasm between adolescense and adulthood. my journey so far has been peppered with numerous instances of joy, as well as heartbreaks, like almost all late teenagers, but then....life goes on....doesnt it????

I have this rather silly habit of speaking my mind irrespective of the people or place surrounding me. This often lands me in an unpleasant situation, with people accusing me of having an attitude problem or a superiority complex. But of all things, malice is what i dont have. My squeaky clean heart and mind only wishes to be pleasant to all, like a healer, healing away wounds left by time.
But these intangible feelings are more often than not perceived to be an attempt to gain popularity....something i have shied away from all my life, but thrust upon me nevertheless!
just for starters, this is me, in a nutshell....

Akshay Vannery...100% Akshay, no elements or influences of anyone around me...
I am a student pursuing my Bachelors in Management Studies, from Mumbai University.
an ex-call center employee, an ex-transcriber, an ex-editor, an ex- HR executive...all rolled into one....a Geminian u see.....:-D
But this is just me, loads of variety. Being with Akshay is like being with so many people at once....The optimist, the realist, the agonizing pessimist, all seamlessly integrated into this confusing medley, which even i myself have never been able to decipher.....


So long, Whoever...thanks for being patient enough with my exotic CRAPpola!!!!
Do come back for more interesting grub!
