A level of satisfaction we fail to attain.

Episodes when you observe, part 1

Susan came to her house and complained,
' My friends noticed that I was wearing the same jeans. Do you even realise how embarrassing that was. This time I somehow managed an excuse but trust me I do not want a next time. You better understand'
She stomped into her room. Her mother managed to hear her murmur 'pathetic' as she shut the door.
They exchanged glances. A long sigh..

Why are we like this? Have we forgotten to appreciate the things around us. Or is it really difficult for us to manage with the " just sufficients"

While returning from a journey in a train I noticed something. Luckily my eyes were "wide open" this time. For there is so much happening every moment. Okay so what I saw was a not-so-newly-wed couple, sitting beside me smiling at each other. Apparently they just bought 2  twenty rupees toys upon the fascination it brought to the wife due to its light emitting property. They really enjoyed the toy and spent some "quality" time with each other.
What I found interesting in this is the fact that a small light emitting toy can bring so much joy to two people aged late 30s sitting in a non-ac compartment wearing not-so-fancy clothes while wearing same jeans to a particular meet up with friends brought so much worry to a  Susan living in a well constructed centralised air conditioning flat in New york.
Maybe this is what they call, diversity. Maybe this is what creates all the differences.

There is a world out there where all that matters is you. Where material things no longer exists, where souls come across other souls,  where what others say or think or perceive no longer matter. There is a world out there where your choice matters but in your life. And in this beautiful world you can do whatever you want, can go wherever you want and be in the state of bliss every second. Want to know which world it is? That beautiful place is called The Earth. Yes. We are living in this place of unlimited joy and unlimited abundance. You can do whatever you want, go wherever you want. And it is in this very own Earth that souls encounter each other and fall in love. But there is one thing you should do. Start listening. Start listening to the voice of your soul. Hmm. I dont know, but I do know That once you start meditating, you eventually tend to reach that state when you stop bothering about the materialistic things and materialistic thoughts. And it is when you are in...

What were we even thinking?

It's crazy how our brain does this miraculous work of accumulating every single random fragment of thought and still manages to make so much sense. It does make sense, sometimes however by not making sense. Anyway, it does. //Sometimes we don't recognise the power we have in ourselves, and that is foolish enough. You are a wonder// But do you understand how much important/necessary it is for you to realise that our mind works in such a wonderful way just by being what it is. Who would have thought that the moment you saw her/him/that/them/it  the few peripheral neurons that synapsed would have sent enough information into your brain and relay its impulses back into the skin and face and every other part that could possibly be excited in such a fraction of second and in such precision and beauty and still make sure that your eyes wouldn't miss even a fraction of second of the glorious event happening infront of it. It keeps you present. It almost explodes my mind think...

The ultimate state of freedom doesnt come by having the right to choose what to wear, or by choosing the guy you want to marry. Neither does it come by talking against your family and going with your friends. The ultimate state of freedom is acheived when what others talk about you: infront of you and behind you, stops bothering you. When what others think about you least bothers you. The ultimate freedom comes when you have full liberty to listen only to the voice of your heart,  to you soul speaking, to your music dancing. It is then that you are actually in the state of happiness, the perfect state of happiness. Bliss.
