Do you know where are we going to ?

Many times, we feel desperate as if we are running in circles and cirlces from the day  we start to realize our existence.  For some people, it may be a  young age and for others, it could be later. If we tell these people before their time, they will laugh at you and they will tell you that they do not know what we are talking about or are we nuts ?

When I was young , my mum told me to listen to her advise , otherwise, I am the one who will lost out. But , her advise always fell on my deaf ear. One of the advise is that we have to be cautious and take no chances. "It is not the one thousand and one risk but one risk in the thousand".  I don't understand her logic and I just laugh it off. But , this advise is very logical.  If we feel very egotic or very confident that the error will not occur with the thousand things we do but when if it error occur, all our effort will be wasted before it can reach the thousand and one.

Such are our awareness. But as age goes by, this words became more and more meaningful.  Many things happen before our eyes and we are aware of the chances of the risk with each experience or each knowledge. Our senses become sharper and our thoughts become wasier.

It is like talking to our servant who have not got much education. The communication just cannot get through if we keep our level of understanding. We should  move ourself to their level and speak to them at the level of understanding. Usually, this is the gap between to people ie each talking at their own level and expecting the other person to understand them.  It is not possible for our servant to move up to our thinking or our knowledge and this is only one way, we have to move down to their level.

We feel frustrate with the people around us and we are angry at imperfections.  Why ? No two people thinks alike and nobody have have the perfect communication with another. Rarely , we can find these people sharing the view about life , work and ideas. If this harmony happens, then these two people will become perfect or very good friends.

It is our ego which is detering us from bring ourself down and where do we go ? We become isolated, frustrated and angry. We shout and curse and blame others , except ourselves and it is our fault in the first place. If we tune our radio channel not perfectly , then there is a lot of white noice and buzzing into our ears and make the words or music coming out of the radio. Again, we are angry with the radio but it is our fault that we have not wind into the right channel.

It is so hypocritical in life. We know where we are going to but is it really  the direction we want.

Namaste.
