My best friend

Oh my best friend, why are you so special to me? I have a lot of friends but you are so special among them. Many friends care for me more than you do. They are always with me unlike you. I went to outing many times with them but not at least once with you. I have a very few photos of us together. I have not attended a party of yours. Nor did you attend mine. I knew very few details about you. I rarely visited your house. You never visited mine.
But you are the only friend whose mere message brings smile onto my face irrespective of the matter it contains. You are my only friend whose birthday wishes are more valuable to me than others. I eagerly wait for my WhatsApp to pop up with your birthday wishes. The only friend whose birthday is more joyful than mine but never expresses it out. Your WhatsApp DP is the only one I save into my phone.
But why is this so?
See how crazy the life is. I have never gone outside with you. We never shared our lunch! We never had lengthy conversations over phone. I had all these with many of my friends but they all are not best friends as you are. You are the only person whose mere appearance would bring uncontrollable joy to my heart. There are days where I just stared at WhatsApp with a hope that it would bring a message from you. The days on which you messaged me were recorded in my dairy as the most memorable moments of life. But why?
Yeah...now I think I’m figuring it out ...
It might be because that you are the only one with whom I have spent most of the days in a year travelling all over the world recklessly. You are the only one with whom I had all the emotions. I stay with you more than 200 days a year doing nothing but enjoying your company. Maybe this should be the reason I meet you daily in my dreams. You come to me with the same pleasant smile every time. We did all mischievous things that can be done. We enjoyed, laughed, shared our feelings and grieved together, in dreams. We together had moments of joy, angry, sad, respect, sacrifice and many, in dreams. I never had all these with any other friend. You are the only one who visited me in my dreams very often.

But why only you? Is it because we used to sit together and study together in our school days? We never met after that. It’s been many years since then. I found many friends who really cared for me and still cares for me. I’m sure of some people who are willing to have friendship with me. I even don’t know if you at least put me in your list of friends. I don’t know if you would remember me after few years. But that’s not that validates any friendship. I always wish you a best of luck where ever you are…
I have never thought of posting it to you. I don’t want you to know all these feelings. I have just recorded my feelings towards you just as I did many times before.

My understanding of the phrase "Nischala tatwe Jeevan mukthi" ("నిశ్చల తత్వే జీవన్ముక్తి "). "From Unwavering nature to Liberation of life"

For those who are not familiar with the phrase, it is a line from Adi Shankaracharya's most famous composition Bhaja Govindam where he tries to tell people to have devotion. I am not the person who accepts the 'truth by authority'. I however do not disregard any statement made by an authority. I rather carefully examine the element of truth by logically reasoning them against its possibilities and impossibilities. Considering the way "the great Adhi Shankaracharya" was introduced to me, as a great saint, philosopher and above all a well-established Yogi, it could be easy for me to accept his authority and believe that " Nischala tatwam " (Unwavering nature) leads to " Jeevan Mukthi " (Liberation). Also, I personally didn't feel capable enough to test it. Although I pretend to accept that statement, I had no means to verify it. My thinking mind could not accept that statement without proper reasoning. It, as usual, demands the logical step...

Identify your Permen (Manostha)

Image
Most people navigate through life without having full control over their mental state. The moods we experience—the mental and emotional states we inhabit—are profoundly influenced by external factors. Circumstances, the time of day, seasons of the year, the food we eat, and the environments we frequent all shape how we feel. Among these, one of the most significant influences comes from the people we interact with. In this exploration, we shall focus solely on the individuals who shape and define one’s mental state. Let us call them Permen (or Manostha, in its Sanskrit root)—the people who possess the power to influence one’s mood and emotional atmosphere. A Permen actively or passively sets the tone of the interaction, whether through their presence, demeanour, or actions. On the other side of this dynamic, we have the Percepton (or Manograh, in its Sanskrit root). This term represents the person who allows others to influence their mood and mental state. A Percepton is the receiver...

How we misunderstood love for so long...!

The title of the post kind of declares that we have been misunderstanding what love is from a long time. Why am I so sure of it? I will try to put my perspective about love and what made me write those lines.   Since, we started with the word misunderstanding, let us see the actual dictionary meaning of love. According to the Oxford dictionary, Love means " a very strong feeling of liking and caring for somebody/something, especially a member of your family or a friend." It clearly says it as a feeling towards a person most likely from the family member or a friend. Let us also make sure what Love is not. Some people may think it as an emotion, it is not. It is an expression. So, what is an expression? It is the way you express it or display it. An expression can spring from an emotion or it can come by nature. You can have emotions of anger and you express it by being angry. Similarly, you can be unpleasant and express it in sadness. But, the expression of love is not as a r...
