Recently happened to watch my favourite movie on my London-Hyderabad flight. The movie "3 Idiots" has been a hit not only for the brilliant performances from some of the best actors in the Hindi Film industry but also coz there was a message to be conveyed at each and every point. One of those messages that hit me the most was this thought that Our heart seems to be very weak, we need to keep fooling it around with some loving and inspiring thoughts and it gains strength to face any challenge that Life throws your way.
Well I would like to add that Heart listens to only that what it wants to listen and imbibe. It is interesting to note that we are at this age arrested by stress at every stage of our life so much that even doctors blame stress as a reason to all problems they cannot figure out in thier medical world. Stress can be cured by meditation so basicaly we end up listening to the customised divine words of a Guru. Personally I have nothing against them and I myself follow one of them but that being a different issue altogther. During my sessions of meditations I realsied that all Gurus basically tell you the same things in words which sound very appealing. Its like reading the same Moral science lessons written by different writers. I also noticed that they try and influence your mind and the thought process there. Involuntarily you start relating to what is being said. It is possible that you have already gone through the experience and your mind starts corelating the instances. It starts to run on the same track which is being spoken about then and there. The most apt example right now would be to guage your own thought process while you are reading this blog. You may like to say agree or disagree depending on your own personal experiences which comes back to teh fact that we listen to the things our heart wants to listen..rest would automatically get deleted. On one of my meditation session my teacher gave and example of a small child. they wanted to explain that a child is influenced by his own thoughts, there is nothing called impossible for them. They would cry if they want to n laugh if they want to. they keep trying till they reach the end result. While listening to all this I kept picturing my son and my mind was busy co relating those thoughts to my son's activities and I found them all so true. From a broader prospective though I can say there wasn't much of learning there. It was just a reminder of things which already reside somewhere in our minds.
Having said all this I would now want to divert my thought to something that has been troubling me since long. I admit I'm addicted to Facebook but it also has led me to see some things which arent commonly talked about. I saw some influencial videos offlate. Some of them talked about the political scenario of our country and like every youth even my mind started feeling the anger and rage of the speaker. I felt that it was high time for the system to change etc. However today I saw a video of an ordinary lady who spoke about human trafficing. Dr. Sunita Krishnan, a victim of a gang rape who is now working to rescue innocent people who have got trapped in this web voluntarily or unvoluntarily. She began her talk with the stories of 3 small girls all aged between 3-4 years and what thier life is all about. As usual my mind had thoughts of my small baby who is the same age. I wouldn't deny I almost puked when I was hearing the stories the brutalities these little kids were subjected to. The youngest kid had been so brutally raped that her intestine was outside her body when she was rescued and it needed 32 stitches to put be back to her body. strange isnt it that those people who do such hineous crimes still live amongst us as one of us and that too with pride while the poor soul who has lost it all mentally , physically and emotionally is left to get more and more tortured. strange is our ways that we move to Gurus for spiritual knowledge while we still haven't completly learnt lessons of our materiliastic world. I dont knw if I should call it escapism. I didnt know how I could be of help to this brave soldier untill she said that every person who has heard her talk should go and tell two more people about it, and convince them to pass this further to two more people and the message was to open our minds from the self created barriers and accept these victims as normal people. Its not thier fault to have been victimised. Now I have chosen my blog as a platform to influence the thoughts of whoever reads this blog of mine. The victims are victims of brutality from societyand so if you have to hate someone here then hate the doer of the deed. Hate that jerk who has so cruelly done this to a small angel who didnt know how to save itself. Every child is special whether it is yours or not. There is absolutly no reason for any child to have gone thru so much in such early stages of life. Being compassionate is one of the few thinsg we could do for them. Today my thoughts have been influenced in such a way that now I see the faces of those three small girls in every child's face I meet and I can say they deserve to be living a happy childhood. I regret the fact that we can't do much to reverse the damage but Love can conquer all pain and Love is all they need from us.
