I was feeling listless today.This mood had been with me now for almost a week now.No amount of listening to music,reading and watching T.V.could lighten the heaviness of the soul.
The analysis of the self indulged in by me at these times does point out the mistakes done by me in all situations leading to this staleness of the spirit.Iam a staunch believer of the eternal inference that everyone knows what they are.So rest of it is all pretensions.Pretension that one is hurt and one is exploited and one is taken advantage of etc are all just lies and everyone knows that it is so because of their own actions.
So the way to a healthy day is to take the day lightly, emotions lightly and everything as not so deep as to get a high note but play it low and retain the balance.The philosopher says there is nothing at all here and no relationship will satisfy you unless you recognise it as inevitable burden.So carry it and be fast to deposit it and journey towards the ultimate self.
Today I went for meditation and in meditation too I had this thought of the burden of this life.The answer was whispered by my Guru and I know that there are no questions or doubts in me.I know the answer that the reality is not here and the essence of all beings are in the ultimate merger with that eternal spirit and then all is silent.Every time Iam in this mood of depression and just chattering with the mind I come to this answer and iam aware of the truth.But still wander again.Give me rest from this wandering is my prayer for today.
