Reality of the Unreal World

From the time we are born to the time we are now, we had gone through a lot of experiences, we had acquired a lot of knowledge, we had gone through a lot of emotions.

Our sense helped us to experience, acquire and go through our life.Hence we had created a world around us, out of this senses. It is this senses, which create the REAL world around us. We are very much into this world.

But we ever thought about the limitation of our senses?

Sense of Vision       : We can only see objects which will reflects light and which has got a shape.

Sense of Hearing   : We can only hear the sound frequencies which will come between 20-200 decibels.

Sense of Smelling: Our sense of smelling is very poor compared to other animals.

Sense of Taste       : Our taste buds can recognise just 4 tastes.

Sense of Touch     : Sensibility is limited.

See, our experiences were not complete.So is it wise to believe there is nothing exists beyond our sensibility?

When you gift something...

Did you ever felt that the gift that you gave to someone was not kept or respected the way it deserved?

If you felt it, then it is better you don't gift. Gifting is an act where you express your feelings like appreciation, affection admiration and so or even in an open sense to convince somebody. In any reasons we shouldn't get attached with the gift we present. It not a clean act.

Gifting should be done with all your heart.

Once a trader offered some expensive clothes to Buddha as gift when he was visiting his village and addressing the people. After the preach Buddha gave all the gifts he received to the people around. The trader was not happy with what his master was done. He went to Buddha and asked "why you didn't care the gift that I gave you?"

Buddha smiled and asked " why you gave me those clothes to me if you had that much feelings over them?, You gift me the clothes but not your heart, so it wasn't a gift. It is this attachment that makes us unhappy in our lives."

When we gift something to someone, its not the gift, but it is the heart which is valued. There the gift is not appreciated but the heart. Regard the heart, not the thing. Care the heart not the gift.

Live free.... give up the attachments.

World, lacks Respect?

Do think you are respected by your fellow beings?

If you are not happy then;
1. We must be either demanding,
2.We are expecting the things to be happen the way we wanted

Unfortunately its not the way of nature, it has its own way.
I think we can overcome this sadness by becoming aware of the real situations. These situations in your life is either created by your actions or due to misconceptions or even your perceptions.

When you sleep,how you got disturbed by the music played in the next room by your neighbor.It will be the same music you play when you are in good mood. Here in that moment you want everyone to respect your sleep. See even when you sleep you are demanding, actually its your subconscious is something which wake you up because of your own created perception. In this way we disturb ourselves. We need to be more open. If we would had a kind of attitude that I will sleep even my neighbor would play music, then sure you would never got disturbed by his music. Change is possible if we are ready to change........

Respect cannot be demanded......
