Better to be known as a sinner than a hypocrite...

A wise man said that a hypocrite despises those whom he/she deceives, but has no respect for themself. He/She would make a dupe of themself too, if they could. With so many going around i couldn't refrain myself from saying something here (instead of @ the person's face)... Call me coward but i just dun think it's worth it.

I dun get it. How can someone perfectly talk nicely in front of you ...say nice things ...ask this & that ....and behind your back...kabooom....diarrhoea of verbal curses...contrast to the praises uttered. I dunno...i really dunno how they can do it. After knowing their true colour I begun to doubt their sincerity and preferred to stay away from such person.

Many told me...advices indeed ... hey, just pretend nothing happen...act normal...The thing is I can't. Everytime i look at their faces ...the truth slaps right across...giving me wake up calls...making me wonder if their friendship is worth it.

My last resort.. stay away...

Be as you are...

I got this from a friend...happy reading ;)

Maharshi read out from the tamil version of Yoga Vasishta, the story of Deerga Tapasi who has two sons, Punya and Papa. After the death of the parents the younger one mourned the loss and the elder brother consoled him as follows: "Why do you mourn the loss of our parents? I shall tell you where they are; they are only within ourselves and are ourselves. For the life-current has passed through innumerable incarnations, births and deaths, pleasures and pains etc., just as the water current in a river flows over rocks, pits, sands, elevations and depressions on its way, but still the current is unaffected. Again the pleasures and pains, births and deaths, are like undulations on the surface of seeming water in the mirage of the ego.The only reality is the Self from where the ego appears, and runs through thoughts which manifest themselves as the universe and in which the mothers and fathers, friends and relatives appear and disappear, They are nothing but manifestations of the Self so that one's parents are not outside the Self. So there is no reason to mourn. Learn it, realise it and be happy." The above is also liberation from the face of duality. The path to liberation is also the path to acknowledge and be as you are (as liberated).

"Within ourselves and are ourselves". If everyone acts to this fact, do you think there would be war in this world, apart from other individualisticness?There wont be any. There wont be even single ego rise to discussion, no argument, no selfishness, not even ownership of the worst creation - money!

Change s Inevitable

In a few weeks time ... my time here will end. It is so unbelieveable that it's goin to be a year already and we would be finishing soon. I was sitting in class and looking at the same batch of people who walked in in the first class. Hmm...i sense changes. Some remain loyal to their friends, some sits with the same person from day one, some who fell in and out of love, some who realized who's true and who's not...and some who became more 'kiasu' than ever.

Change = Inevitable. Everything or everyone is bound for change at some point of time. Good or bad, time decides..self decides. The thing is we have the choices of making those decisions to change. After a year here...what have i learnt ? Plenty - Knowledge. People. Experience. Being in service for 10 years smthg precious i learnt is - in working life u need both knowledge as well as experience. A blend of both will teach and give the answers to many questions along the way of life. Many feel that with degrees, masters or Phd they had enough but trust me...nothing is easy. Experience teaches a man things he never knew. Be humble. Ask. Learn. Don't underestimate anyone. You can never know where the answers are. Humility is the best policy. It will never hurt your ego. So...I quote Gandhi ji... be the change you wish to see...

being moral @ being happy ?

Today my professor said something that made me thinking - "being moral is not neccessarily being happy ". Of course we were talking about ethics then but it really had me evaluate some things recently i encountered. I can choose to be moral and decisions i made might not make me happy. I was blogging about 'fake friends' we meet along the walk of life...and a dear friend asked "why u choose to be the way you are". My reply - I respect & care for all my friends but... I hate friends who pretend to be nice in front of me and at the same time bad mouth me behind my back. By the way, is that a 'friend' (in the first place) ? People change over time...i get it but try not to hurt others along the way. Be who you want to be... do what you want to do... but make sure it does not break the respect, heart, trust or love others have towards you. Some people are ego, some lie, some hide ... without knowing the truth might get out and it hurt others...especially friends.

When i choose my own path and decide to be silent...i realized i may make my decisions based on my moral obligations...and it can cause my happiness but failing to do so may harm my principle. If they are your true friend, they will never fake. So i guess sir was right ... bbeing moral is not neccessarily being happy ; )
