I INVITE MY WORLD...
Every time I open my Face book account, a question stares at
me:
“What is on your
mind?”
I am just new to this
Face book world… And, even though I may sound so dumb here, I believe it is
known as ‘Status’… where I am supposed to share how exactly how I feel right
now: the thing that plays on my mind… that what consumes me, makes me feel
strong about it – may be love it or hate it – makes me smile, laugh, afraid,
angry even hate and avenge. Or, reconcile.
That is too much of a
stuff, too personal, too uncomfortable to share even with my intimate friends
leave alone through this FB!
So, probably, they
expect me to write: “Hi guys, I am just back after an amazing holiday in Singapore,”or,
“Hi everyone, just watched ‘Dirty Picture’… Vidya sizzles!”… Or, may be this:
“Popo has his Maths paper today. Please pray!”
What is there on your
mind, YOU KNOW… even if you don’t share it with the world.
What is there on your
mind, you focus on!
What you focus on,
expands in your life!
What expands in your
life, forms the quality of your life!
It forms your WORLD!
Putting it in the
lingo that is made to sound almost ‘futuristic’ by the famous video and the
book, ‘The Secret’ – this principle is known as ‘the Law of Attraction’.
In fact, the film and
the book tell you, at the very outset, that this Law is as ancient as Adam and Eve!
What you love, what
you admire,
what you worship -
you attract in your life.
It manifests.
By the
same token,
what you to hate, what you fear,
what you detest –
you attract in your
life, too.
It manifests, too!
Your inmost becomes
your outmost.
You become the image
you worship.
You become the World
you live in!
If success, happiness
and prosperity are what I want in my life, I must focus just on them: On the
abundance, on the vast expanse of possibility, yes, on the Garden of Eden! It
is only when my mind, heart and soul are surrounded, all around, by this bright
consciousness, that my life becomes a fertile field where every seed sprouts, and
grows to glory.
On the other hand, if
my mind, heart and soul keep complaining about the missing things, keep blaming
people and situations for the troubles in my life, if they keep denying the
love that is now available, the hope that is now beckoning, the person that is
now promising, the coins that are still left in your pockets, the health that
is far better than that of so many out there… Yes, if my mind, heart and soul
do not know how to appreciate what is already there, how to be grateful, how to
celebrate, share and look forward with trust and hope – then, my life is
destined to turn into an endless field of Lack…
Misery does not come
on its own. We invite it.
But, there is good
news!
Most of us invite
misery in our ‘ignorance’! We are unaware when we do that. Believe me, we all
are!
And, that IS the good
news. That IS the hope. That IS the reason, why we all should, now, shift the
‘search light’… Yes, from lack to abundance, from gloom to hope, from sickness
to health, from hate to love, from fear to faith…
“What is on your
mind?” is the question.
Today, I have in my
mind a burning desire to perform this ‘Agnihotra’.
I desire to purify my
inner world…
The world outside will
be purified on its own…
I AM THE WORLD!
