Ventilator and window: Fully open
Cool air was brushing my body as I peacefully crouched on my bed. The song called Marudani (A R Rahman's album Sakkarakatti) was playing in my comp. I switched the lights off and the moonlight was the sole illuminating factor. No tensions in mind, no tests, no responsibilities, no fights, no grudges... Everything was so really nice. The moment was beautiful, I thought. Then I thought, 'for how long can I keep cherishing such moments?' A lifetime at the most. Then??? ... no idea. What if I achieved a lot? Would that really be changing the fact that I can't enjoy my accomplishments forever? So what is it that I/anyone for that matter, can do to have something for eternity? Salvation... any other answers... I really wish there were... (btw if you do, plz lemme know)
Then comes the next mind-chewing question, "Is there really a state called salvation?" Yes there is. No there isn't. J Krishnamoorthy's book said "The answers are probably right here." It also said "You enjoy the moment and then you also partially enjoy recollecting that enjoyment. So you start pursuing the moment and its joy again but then you end up in despair..." Oh my god, that man thought a hell lot about life. Do try reading some books like that. Your perspectives will be appreciated by yourself...
My point however, is to make you all think for a while about 'what is going on.. and for what?' Don't slam your brains too much about this however... just explore your grey matter!
More on this making its way....

Fan air brushing, listening to the same song after I read that line, lights are off too but the illuminating factor is the sun...poddupoddune moonlight undadu kada...
ReplyDeleteWell if you ask me...I am not be concerned about making my life cherishable even after this lifetime. For now I know that I will not have this conciousness after this life time...so there is no point in planning things out for 'after this lifetime'
If you are '11ing' now try to 11 as much as you can...
like the 11 phil.
ReplyDelete1.Buddha tells me there's one such state.Blame Buddha if there is no such state.I am not for/against it.
ReplyDelete2.whatever state of consciousness one is in, there's usually an accessible better state, though temporary . try meditating and see how long the effects last.in smoking , u actually feel the numbing of consciousness. CRUX : IT HAS A PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS,for sure, affected by intake and outflow of material( food, water,intoxicants, semen).it could have other bases too. we can't rule that out.
3.THE STATE COULD BE BEYOND SPECULATION, since, the mind can only re-construct what it has experienced, or construct something else, which erroneously appears new, but has as building blocks and components, chunks of previously experienced thought complexes( sounds, smells, tastes, pics, thought sequences, emotions )
AND
therefore,
the one who experienced it cannot find chunks of information in the mind of nubes to construct a picture of how its gonna feel like.
so, the buddha describes not the experience, but helps people reach the experience
just as
A smoker can't explain to a non-smoker how smoking feels like
he can only direct the nube to the cig-bar
You are exactly in tune. Keep sharing plzz. The discussion cannot get better.
