Soliloquy 3

O my mind! Why are you lamenting? For whom are you lamenting? She was not your Mother. She could not be your Mother. She could not love you selflessly as a Mother. Pity on her, sympathise with her. Don't be angry with her. Don't be sad. Don't shed tears. She was a poor woman bound in the shackles of patriarchal chains. She had never formed her own thinking. She didn't know how to think freely. She didn't even know how to think for herself. She could not love herself properly, how could she love others. She was not allowed to grow freely, she was not allowed to think freely, she was not even allowed to choose motherhood freely. She didn't have complete rights over her own body. She just wanted those rights over you, your own child. Little did she know that she was foolish and immature. She could not be her own centre or anybody's centre, so she  forced you to become her centre. She couldn't get anyone to cry for her, so she compelled you to cry for her, laugh for her, only for her. She couldn't get anyone to help her, so she wanted you to help her in all her endeavors.She never knew Motherhood is a feeling, it is not a relation. The feeling doesn't vanish when the umbilical cord is cut. The feeling doesn't arise with the kick of the child in the womb. It can or can't exist if she wants it to exist within herself. It is not so natural as thought to be, it is human-made.

Soliloquy 9

O my mind! Why are you feeling dull? The people can never give you happiness. The human relations are illusory. The bonding of human relations is not pure, not real in actual sense because these relations are inherently selfish in nature. They are constantly in need of something. Believe in humanity and all the forms of life as these don’t ask for anything in return. Try to spread love irrespective of the sadness and hopelessness in this world. Contribute as much as you can. You can only find the real happiness by spreading the message of love. This happiness will finally illuminate others and bring your salvation. Don’t be afraid to take risk to spread the mesaage of love. Do it wherever you are; in any way you can. Take care of yourself first. Only then you will be able to take care of other life forms. If you dont have anyone, feel blessed that you have no compulsion, no rule to abide by. Enjoy the freedom from humans. Take the opportunity to explore yourself in a posit...

O mind! Love but dont get attached. Attachment cultivates expectations and expectations beget disappointment. Love sincerely, and wholeheartedly. The moment you start expecting, the essence of love is lost. In other words, love loses its existence. It is quite difficult for human beings to sever the link between love and attachment. But to comprehend and feel love in a real sense, one needs to achieve that state of mind. That state is the state of perfection, the heavenly state. You dont feel sadness, neither excitement. You are in a state of bliss, calm and serene bliss.  To achieve that you just need to accept and not judge. You accept the imperfections to inch towards that perfect state, the imperfections of the other human being. Embrace those and pave way to bliss. Do not crib, do not blame, do not ask. Just love in totality. Let things come to you naturally. Do not sulk if they do not come. Neither force yourself nor others. Enjoy when something is there but do not be h...

Soliloquy 11

O my mind! Why do you judge? Do not judge others or yourself. Observe the world as it is around you. Judgement mars your vision and creates boundaries. It keeps you insulated from the reality. No one is your friend and no one is your enemy. Sharpen your observation, distinguish implicit from explicit. The same thing can be viewed very differently through the lens of judgement and without the lens of judgement. There is nothing mine or yours. There is nothing right or wrong. It all depends on your perspective. Be empathatic towards others as well as yourself. Cross the boundary between self and others. Be aware of everything in the universe - sans rules, sans boundaries, sans judgement. If you keep your past with you, you will not be able to visualise properly. You can not change nature, you can only change the world. Observe, discover, and act accordingly. Your conscience will be your guide. There is neither an end nor a beginning. Life is a flowing process, a process always in m...
