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.

Signing off for the day, see you again
