Existence, Religion, Faith

Drawing conclusions is a gift we have been endowed with, having being created as the intelligent species that we are. As to how creation in entirety came into being is a question that has been asked since time immemorial...and answered too, depending on the answers received and accepted (or liked) by the one who answers. And this shall continue...and continue to contradict or corroborate depending on what an individual’s perspective leads to and where it leads to. 

As of ‘faith’, it is distinctly different from belief...as far as I perceive. And if one has to relate with respect to a religion, then, true and absolute faith would never incite the ‘faithful’ to denounce all other religions...or bring harm to followers of a different faith. True followers of faith (any) realize that as their faith is true for them, so is true the faith of ‘others’ for ‘them’. Religion that we 'see' today is less about faith, but more about rituals and 'teachings' depending upon the interpretations of the interpreter...man-made...with impositions implied, "What is good for me is good for you as well" or "It is so, so it has to be so". True faith is accessed within...and without being essentially within the framework of any particular religion. Faith in itself is a religion...

When we have faith, we do not need anything else...as it is our faith that guides us to 'be' and 'do'...how and what we need to 'be'...and do what needs to be done to unravel the truth...and the answers, the answers that we seek...primary being that of our being, origin of our existence…and the reasons for the very existence of existence…

A Book

A book is not merely pages filled with words...showcasing an individual's reflections and realizations...irrespective of the subject. It is a potent tool in the larger perspective of life...having infinite potential to make you access your infinite potential.


A book becomes a part of your life...as it redefines your life by making you to redefine your own self...and recreate your self... 


If the intention is so behind its being written...so it is realized...even though at times it feels likes the book of life has too many pages of 'time' to be flipped before the book becomes 'a book'.


But if one has booked a time with one's destiny, consciously, with full faith, 'the book' keeps its appointment as a reality...by becoming 'it'...

Choice

'Be' your own choice...

Following


Intently followed is the happening in the lives of friends...and foes alike. Though the intentions behind these 'followings' are not alike. They being about the people liked and disliked, respectively. But whatever be the intentions behind the following, the following is there...

But is the time taken to follow one's own self earnestly...and find out what is happening in one's life truly...and why is it happening the way it is happening? And if so, by how many? It is wished that this 'many' trascends from 'only these many?' to 'innumerable'...
