Uncertainties?

Are there uncertainties in life?

Who owns the idea?

Have you ever experienced a sudden idea that came to you? Which faculty of you was involved? From where did it come?

Do things, but don't get caught up in things.

You are supposed to do things. Work on your goals- career, job/ business and service. But don't get caught in things. Otherwise you experience greed, ego, anger and jealousy.

Are You Attracted?

You may get attracted to someone due to looks, qualities, personality traits or achievements. But all attractions fade. Only the attractions to someone for wisdom, truth, service or quest stays. Other attractions are temporary.

What has changed?

We live for about, say, 70-80 years or less or more. As years pass, old people move out and new people come in. But there are always people and events through whom we experience same emotions, challenges, successes and failures. At 80, we are still transacting as much as we were at 15. So what has changed?

Being a witness to the events around us?

Today, India has a historic win against Australia in Test cricket. The intensity and thrill of this test series kept everyone glued. At the end, India delivered. Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant performed. Mohd. Siraj was proven. Shardul and Sundar too. An elated moment for Hanuma Vihari, Ravindra Jadeja & Ashwin. At the same time, Australia lost. Maybe a ‘sad’ day for Australians. Prithvi Shaw couldn’t deliver. Does he regret that he missed this historic opportunity? Rohit Sharma was not at his best. Virat may regret not being a part too, no idea. The same events that brought elation, satisfaction and extreme happiness for some, may have brought regret, sadness for some others. And hence, it is so important to just be a witness to events, no matter which side of them we are at.

Insults can bring depth

If someone insults you, do you get bothered?
