Mistakes Vs Blunder

Almost 10 in the night. We are returning back home from the tea shop, a place of our gathering ad the only place I go out to relax myself. The physical illness have halted lot of things in my life. Pleasure and Pain. A topic already discussed. The gathering with some youngsters and discussing with them have opened up a lot in my mind; positive or negative. Cool night with clear sky. I always use to watch night sky, love to watch it, especially when it is clear without clouds, mist, as clean as nothing just with many twinkling stars will make my mind rejoice. I am used to it from my younger days onward, sleeping in the terrace, watching the sky, talking with my Mother Nature, feeling like I sleep in her lap itself. That young man's voice broke of my serenity i'm enjoying watching the sky.


Seeker : Anna, we do a lot mistakes in our life. I say it is unavoidable. But others say a man reaches perfection only when he does no mistakes. Do you think there is a perfect man who does no mistakes?

A.V.R. : So we are talking about mistakes. To go into this, we should know what mistakes exactly are. Right? If you say mistakes are unavoidable, then it should be an integral part of life. So what is a mistake. Let’s derive from the word itself, A take which is not proper, mis- take, a take which could mislead you to an undesired position. Am I right? 

If that is the case, then we cannot always say our takes ie., the initiatives for anything in life would be proper always. We make mistakes, because we are unaware of them. You make them, I make them, everyone under the sky makes mistakes. We are unaware how it would affect us in reality. Since it is misleading, we call it a mistake. Thus it becomes un avoidable. I will say mistakes are part of life. If we don’t mistake there is no proper learning of life. No mistakes means that is the part of perfection. Like Creator's hands.

Seeker: Yes anna. Without mistakes we will be having only a theoretical knowledge, but not the practical one.

A.V.R. : You are right. Any book or text can tell you do this, don’t do that, and be good or whatever it is.

Prayer vs. Meditation



Man born in this world often seeks security in one or other way. Security of power, security of relationship, security of authority anything. The essence is he wants to be secured. Above all he wants to be in safe hands.  Darwin  in "Origin of Species" claims that the state of insecurity in living beings when compared to higher beings leads to troubles. Man in earlier days, say it the beginning, he was afraid of darkness, thunder bolt, fire etc., He was troubled and he believed there is this existence of this supreme being. Leave the science, what do religions have in text for us. Whatever it is all about the relationship with the Supreme being called "God" and the inferior being called "Man".


When man seeks security from God, he forgets often there are more needy same like him out there. Sequential queries like "I need this, I need that, Help me do this, help me do that", all comes seeking out a helping hand. Prayer is a kind of seeking. The eternal father, formless spirit, prevailing everywhere, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient knows realizes whatever our needs are. But man needs a kind of security by praying. But don't know exactly how to pray, what he seeks out of prayer.


Often we take up lot of printed books, Bible, Qu-ran etc., read verses, chant mantras, follow a system blindly. We forget often "What exactly a prayer is?". This is the essence of all these books. If we talk a language without knowing its meaning of the words how useful that would be? A pure awareness is needed to pray. The following discussion is my revelations of exactly what I got out of the cosmos while talking with the eternal father.

Seeker: Anna, I want to know whether what we do in churches, temples and mosques and all are real prayer? If it is not then what kind of prayer do I have to offer to God?

A.V.R. : I do feel little bit strange about your question my friend. There is nothing called “Such kind of prayer”, if the question is like that, then it means you have divided the prayer into many divisions. There is only one kind of prayer, that is the “prayer” alone. I know what is the problem of you and why you have such divisions in prayer, it is because the religious organizations teach you so. Prayer for the well being, Prayer for the sick, Prayer for the poor so on and so on.

The Ending can be the beginning



A man of joy won't think about the ending and always think about an ever enduring life, life of immortality, no death etc., Because pleasure, the need of pleasure makes him to ask more. When the life is filled with sadness, worries, troublesome mind wants an ending. The ending being the end of the troublesome period or sometimes to life itself. Contradictory aspects and thoughts of human mind. How could always there be happiness? If it is temporary, then what is the meaning of having immortality. This arises when there is a conflict in understanding the beginning and ending. I have undergone such situations when human beings betrayed me, condemned me of nothing, just for being a human. There are days when I even thought of ending my life itself. But some interventions of the cosmic energy made me understand the facts of life. Anyway it will end from one form to begin another. An ending is not just an ending but a path to a new beginning. This is what I believe always.


This is an interesting discussion with a fellow youngster, who become desperate in his life, as once I was. I managed to discuss whatever I received as realization from cosmic energy.

Seeker: Anna, I am so tired of this world. I of course, in my life am filled with sorrows. Though I wish to do lot of things in life, I am not able. Will there be an end for all these. Will my death be an end for all these sorrows?

A.V.R. : What do you want as an end my friend. Ending for your life or else for your sorrows? Aren’t you seeing there is always pleasure and pain both are in parallel in our day to day life. If you question is to end sorrows, then it is that you want to start with pleasures. If you want to end your life then that is another type of question? There is no end in anything, but there is only transformation, from one aspect to another. If you want to get ended up with sorrows, then likely you want a life of pleasure.

Even in death, there is no end. There can be a transformation where your physical body gets transformed to astral body. A state of matter to another state, is it not the physics says?

Seeker: Anna, actually I want to get rid of these things, my sorrow, my worries. But the day to day happenings in my life often gets me rid of that thought. I again circled with worries.

Realization


Everything we lose
What a Life is this?

How long do you plan
To fetch this thought in yourself?

Whom do you believe?
Disappoint and hate yourself?

Human beings will leave without trace
Even before you realize

Where did you fall?
Why did you rose again?
Confusion will sustain!!

Happenings will happen
So you call it a Drama?
What role then you have?
Are you aware?

Are you going to argue?
"Key is with somebody
I'm just a dancing doll!"
What if you don't know to dance properly?

Without realizing what is there already,
What else do you search for?

If you loose something in dark,
Search should be there only...
but with an accompanied light!!

Can you realize
Each move and every wave
is an embodiment of that light?

Be still
Mind needs only, what is lost...

But
What did you lost actually?
When you will realize?
That is the actual quest..!!
