Where the mind is without FEAR......

Today I do not know what I am writing should be shared or No, it very rarely happens that I give a second thought on sharing what I feel, but today because it is about an event that has deeply affected the mass, and Thanks to the Media to have highlighted it so, may be to bring justice to the Girl who died or may be to have high TRP’s. No I am not against the Media and the work it does, because media is a very powerful tool for mass communication and it can be used for such things and a lot more.

I usually never give my comment on current affairs, because I am very much out of all these, hardly follow news, which is of course not a very good habit and one should be aware of what’s happening around the world. What Happened to the Girl who got gang raped, was cruel and hanging to death also would be a punishment too small for the criminals, If I were to decide may be I would say chop their hands and let them live, so that they can never touch themselves again leave aside other women.

But the very thought of doing something cruel is again heading me towards becoming a criminal. I am not against what Media is doing, but Yes I am against the fear that is spreading across young girls and women too because of such events being highlighted to this extent in the name of awareness.

Many more such crimes happen, there are babies being raped who do not even know how to defend, there are woman being burnt by their own family members for Dowry, there are women who have to live everyday compromising on their little and big desires and dreams and crying every day and living a life as good as dead, woman who are not good looking suffering because of the way people look at them and they perceive themselves to be ugly,,,,,,,,,,,, endless list, suffering is all over, masked and unprotected. Media does to some extent create awareness and also encourages a lot of good things. I am happy about those and also not unhappy about this news.

The Suffering of that girl is undoubtedly very traumatic. It can shake the ground under the feet of all women to even think of such an incident. This post is for the girls and the women who are deeply in fear, Stop fearing, Stop getting scared, Work on Yourself, Prepare yourself in a way that you can defend such atrocities happening to YOU. If media after this event shows the many woman who have learned self defence and they give an answer themselves to the criminals without waiting for the court of Law which takes too long a time to decide what should be done, I am sure crimes would be lesser and criminals would be scared rather than the victims.

Girls Take charge of your life and learn not to give in, not even be weak. I don’t mean to say compare yourself with Men, or suppress Men, No, Men are our biggest support system and without them we would not be able to survive too. We need to respect them and take them hand in hand as a counter part of life, but then stop fearing, stop thinking that what if something like this happens to me. IT WONT, if only You decide to not let it happen to YOU.

The World is beautiful, and we can make our world beautiful by learning to take charge of our lives and also the beauty is that a Lady can take charge of a generation of a family and make the whole generation fearless, educated, courageous, responsible and Lovable. Take charge to not make criminals but make wonderful people. JOIN HANDS WITH ME TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE.

I cannot do it alone, but I have made my world beautiful and believe me I have no fear, I want every woman to feel the same and Live with a thought that something so cruel will never happen to me, because I won’t let it happen, I am not boasting about myself, because none of us can predict what will happen in the next second, may be something difficult is in store or may not be, but in todays world where we learn that Ask and you shall receive, ask for a mind without fear, and believe me YOUR MIND HAS ALL THE POWERS IN THIS UNIVERSE. EXPLORE YOUR POTENTIAL AND LIVE IT TO THE FULL.

Love you all who took out the time to read my post, and if you disagree, I have no regrets because that is my perception and people may have different perceptions, and they have the right too, I respect all views and opinion as much as I respect mine.

Sharing a poem of Rabindranath Tagore which I love a lot
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Existence

Wondering what existence means, the dictionary meaning is whatever is, the being, is existing. I had read a status of a friend on facebook few months back,
"Most people suffer from merely existing versus really living. Don’t get caught in a rut; get out of it if you are. Explore. Play. Go beyond your comfort zone. Don’t lean on the excuse “I don’t have time to try new things.” It is as tragic and ridiculous as saying “I don’t have time to breathe.” New experiences are life. Live deeply."

I loved this status and felt so deeply for this young girl who shared this quote, though she was out of Fb after sometime and I never spoke to her after that, It is fun to explore, to play, to go beyond your comfort zone and try new things, but the belief systems we are brought up in right from childhood, make so much impact on our minds that before anyone else, we stop ourselves and we dig a hole of fear and do not even dare to look around and confront our own fears, simply because of the duality in mind within.

The question is how can one come out of this duality, one needs to actually ignore all the so called knowledge gained, drop the entire belief system we have formed in ourselves, and let go off the self and become an observer and look at life as a third person, many a times we understand the situations after that, and react in a better way, still there are some incidents which are unavoidable and inevitable, the reason for those incidents is unknown or may be if we know also looking deeply inside us, then also we cannot avoid them from happening. "Let go" are two simple words but very difficult actions, and any thought without action is merely a day dream or an illusion. How long can one live in an illusion or dream, not long and one day when the you confront the truth it is terrible.

What next ????? is what we keep asking ourselves after such reflections to the inside. Awareness does not come easily, but once you become aware, it is even more difficult till you become completely free, this in between stage of the connect to your subconscious, and connect to the super conscious is a hard task to undergo, but when you step on a journey to the unknown, you cannot return either, because when you return , your longing to learn more, keeps you upset,and till you reach there, you are always in a dilemma.

And after all this trouble one takes and reaches the destination, he realizes that the answers are not in the destination, they were in the journey and just being in it, just being the way you are, just loving yourself, just accepting yourself the way you are and being okay with it and loving others the way they are being okay with them, And Eureka, you found it, the key to happiness, which was simple, but to be simple, one needs to go through a lot of complications, to understand truly what simple means and to value simplicity.

Simple is Beautiful, I pray for myself, one and all I know to learn the art of being, being simple, being beautiful not in appearance but inside.
