"How to Deal with Desperation?"

It is always ‘Inspiration’ or ‘Desperation’ that drives one to think and act ‘Positive’ or ‘Negative’ in life!

‘Desperation’ is the feeling of utter helplessness in given situations with no apparent way out.

Desperation can make one so miserable as to despise even the God, the rest of the world and/or one's own self and existence.

This condition is experienced by many at some time or the other in the course of their lives.

There could be any number of causes or situations to make one desperate, and hence, miserable!

Desperation pushes one to decisions and actions, which more often than not, end up in catastrophe.

It is only ‘inspiration’, if one is fortunate to find in some form or source, which pulls back and resurrects one from the psychological doom likely to be caused by desperation.

Hence, it is of paramount importance that one needs to be ‘inspired’ in life to be saved from getting ‘despaired’.

In any desperate situation, one should never forget the very basic and universal truth that ‘Nothing is going to be the end of the Road’ and that ‘There always is Light at the end of the Tunnel’.

Also, one another thing to be remembered forever is that the sufferer is not alone or exclusive in this vast, vast world, but millions suffer from desperation and its misery, but sure come out happier.

Tomorrow is always going to be yet another and a better day, for anyone to look for!  

Modern day provides medications albeit with serious side effects, to counter depression which has many causes, desperation being one.

But of the many other larger gains it provides, one sure-shot remedy for prevention & cure for this problem is always there in ‘spiritualism’ which is inclusive or even independent of any religion.  

The role and benefits of ‘spiritualism’ in life is immense by any measure, as it negates all the negatives.

The sooner the better it would be, for anyone to realize this!

"In a nutshell"

‘Religion’ or ‘Faith’ basically is conceptualized by the ‘wise’ to bring in order, cohesion and peace in human habitations at the very beginning of evolution of civilization. 

End of the ‘man-eats-man’ phase and protection to the weak and the infirm (order); Tolerance, equality, bonding among people belonging to the particular faith (cohesion); Interaction, affinity, brotherhood, harmonious co-existence - all of which, culminating in the physical and psychological well-being (peace) – are all the fruits of introduction of religion in this universe.

Peace is the quintessential prerequisite for proper channelization of thought processes concerning all areas of human endeavor, aimed at advancement in humanities, arts, sciences and spirituality.

Great minds realized the futility of anything destructive (negativity); and the worth of everything constructive (positivity). 

Accordingly, they showed different ways and means to nurture and sustain positivity among humans through religious tenets. 

When endowed with fertile minds, diversity in thought is but natural. This caused the birth and propagation of different religions through the agency of great souls at different times in human history. 

There can always be new religions evolving so long as human race exists in this universe. 

Incidentally, no religion ignores the nature with all its creatures, without a proper balance of which, humans can’t survive for long on this planet. 

‘Spiritualism’ is innate to religion.

But then, certain thinkers, by virtue of their inherent knowledge and in their own innovative ways, went beyond religion in pursuit of self-realization. 

Hence, ‘spiritualism’ could be both inclusive and independent of religion.

Now-a-days ‘Hinduism’ is known as one another religion. 

People including those born as Hindus, are ignorant of what came to be known as Hinduism in fact, is ‘Hindu Dharma’ or ‘Sanatana Dharma’ - a way of life, and not a religion as has been contrived by the British and acknowledged by the rest. 

The fact of course, stands out that as with the times, ‘Hindu Dharma’ lost much of its sanctity, though not in totality. 

Though not adhering to their own religious principles in any great measure, people are getting more and more intolerant of other religious groups - a great irony. 

Religious intolerance is indicative of lack of reverence to own religious principles, which is not realized as such, by any! 

What all religious alienation we witness today, is sparked by ignorant fanatics and further fueled and bolstered by political leaders for their own selfish ends.

No sane person whichever religion he is aligned to, would harbor negative thoughts against another religion!

"What's on your mind?"

What's on my mind?

Ah yes, its old age....

I read a blog a moment ago, titled "Old is not always Gold". 

The lady started the blog expressing how very exhausting an experience it was meeting her old uncle etc. etc. with the customary spiritual overtures splashed here and there!

She was clearly in need of being reminded of a simple, yet relevant fact of life, which made me to post this comment on her blog: 


"Old-age is an inevitable phase of life.

Everyone loves it to be a well-written last chapter with a matching epilogue!

Well ultimately, how it always will be - what we sow, so we reap! 

Incidentally mam, you are not alone to experience exhaustion meeting an old, ever-grumbling uncle!

In fact, it feels such a trying experience for me too at times...whenever I meet my own old-self!"

"I don't at all mind...."

Every time I open Face Book, sure as hell an empty dialogue box  poses me a question! 

Oh God! this space never tires of asking "What's on your mind?"!!!

Okay, what is on my mind?

Well, there is no reason for me to mind telling whatever is there on my mind! Fine!...........

I respect a certain great soul - one learned and wise gentleman, a blogger, commentator and yes, a humorist too! 

He mixes humor and spirituality so intricately that reading his blogs & comments will be so very joyful and also make us contemplate deep on what has been conveyed!

He ended his recent blog this way:

Trickishly yours,
psn

[Oh, don't say there is no word 'trickishly' in English! He is a great Master of English language too! Its only that he is just, pleasantly tricky here as well!]

Well, I loved the content so very much that I couldn't but fall head over heals, as any of his readers would!

What is extracted below was part of my comment posted on his blog:

"Hmm…trickishly ours!?!!!

So my revered sir can be trickily ticklish if he so wished!.....Oh, nope!

He is only a champion of tricks……no sir, I don’t mean trickeries….can’t say a trickster either….not by any chance!

[o it meens sooo? o, reelly? gawd, i dinnoo! i hate foren langvage….damn ingileesh… an bannit foren!]

"…….desire for ‘attainment’ and desire for ‘dropping of the desire"…...


True Sir, it is the trickiest of all and the last trick for any to succeed at!

That exactly is why I said on your preceding blog page - the ‘master of both worlds’!"
