Living in Eternity!

A profound quote by Osho set me thinking about time and eternity. He said "You exist in time, but you belong to eternity." 

So much of wisdom lies in this thought.   

In reality, time is a relative term and does not exist. The real meaning of eternity is not time forever but timelessness. When we use the word time, we refer to the past, present or future which essentially is a transient extraction of eternity.

All belief systems and scriptures make us think, life is temporal and afterlife is eternal and this is what we train our mind. Our actions are focused on earning the goodwill for a heavenly beyond death experience which no living person can vouch for.

Why? - This is because we are made of combined mass and energy with an ad interim memory. We all are eternal. We are just one soul changing forms and moving on. If we exist in the now, we exist in the then too.

Learn the language of the Universe. 

Live in the NOW. Live it fully without any bearings in the mind and heart.

Lovely.
Very true. Time is relative. There is actually no past or future. There's is only this moment. What's gone does not exist except in our minds. The future is our imagination. In Siddhartha written by Herman Hesse he says that even though the river is flowing what exists is the one in front of us. So is time.
Thank you for stirring my thoughts and reminding me to live in the now.

A Legend Lost. A Legacy Forever.

 On October 9, 2024, India lost one of its most cherished industrialists and humanitarians, Ratan Tata. His last words on social media, " Thank you for thinking of me. " were quintessentially Tata—humble, understated, and full of grace. These parting words have reverberated across the nation, encapsulating the quiet dignity with which he lived and led. In an age where public figures often tower through grand gestures, Ratan Tata’s approach was markedly different. His power was wielded not through public spectacle, but through quiet action, compassionate leadership, and a relentless commitment to integrity. From his role in expanding the Tata Group into a global conglomerate to his advocacy for animal welfare and support for start-ups, Tata's legacy is one of kindness interwoven with visionary business strategy. What set Ratan Tata apart was not just the scope of his achievements, but the human touch he brought to them. Even as he orchestrated some of India’s most signifi...

Embracing the Flow of Life

In our fast-paced world, we often try to control the outcomes of every situation. We want things to happen a certain way, on our terms, and according to our timelines. However, there’s a simple yet powerful philosophy that can help us navigate the unpredictability of life with more ease: "If it comes, let it come. If it stays, let it stay. If it goes, let it go." This mantra encourages us to let go of resistance and embrace the natural flow of events. By adopting this mindset, we learn to welcome opportunities without fear, accept stability without clinging to it, and release what no longer serves us without regret. It’s about living in harmony with the inevitable changes life brings, instead of fighting against them. 1. If it comes, let it come. Life often surprises us with new possibilities—whether in the form of relationships, opportunities, or challenges. By letting things come naturally, without forcing or fearing them, we open ourselves up to new experiences and growth....

The Hidden Crisis in Papua New Guinea: Torture and Violence Against Women

In Papua New Guinea, violence against women—often stemming from accusations of witchcraft—is an urgent, yet hidden, human rights crisis. Women, particularly those marginalized or vulnerable, are frequently scapegoated for misfortunes like illness or death, leading to brutal attacks, torture, and sometimes even murder. The plight of these women remains largely invisible to the world despite its prevalence, especially in rural areas where cultural beliefs in sorcery run deep. Roots of the Crisis: Witchcraft Accusations and Superstition In many parts of Papua New Guinea, accusations of sorcery serve as a way to explain unexpected tragedy or hardship, disproportionately affecting women. Widows, single mothers, and other vulnerable women are often targeted and subjected to severe torture—including beatings, burning, and even mutilation—as their communities demand “confessions.” These horrific acts leave women physically and emotionally scarred, reinforcing a culture of silence and fear. Con...
