MY LIFE IS NOT AN OBLIGATION TO LIVE, IT\’S BLISS
A phase in life when you can only rise
![](\"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*eXNMtF8MJVV10A-U\")
Spiritually, we are all falling endlessly.
The more the mind is exhausted, the more the spirit rises.
The life of an awakened person is shaken and taken by a storm.
All the illusions that were held by the mind are demolished.
You create what you think.
Everything that is created is destroyed when the mind is liberated.
Mind disappears, and the world appears as it is, an illusion.
You wander endlessly searching for ground to stand on and something to hold on to.
But you find nothing.
Life isn’t different without awakening.
The only difference is that you are aware of the uncertainty.
Nothing changes; you become known to the changing nature of things.
Reality seems absurd, as you look at it for the first time.
But you have to live with it, you have been living with it unknowingly.
Now face it knowingly.
During this storm, you spill what your cup is filled with.
If it is filled with anger, you spill the anger.
If you are filled with joy, you spill the joy.
If you are filled with nothing, you spill nothing.
Nothing to affirm, nothing to reject.
After all these years of spiritual awakening, my only job so far has been to be empty.
There are no mirrors to look my face into, no shadows of the past.
I surrender to the world within myself.
I pray and I am praised.
It is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking.
If nothing of the mind is left, what remains? If there is no identification with anything around, then what is the point of life?
This is when most awakened people leave the mundane world of daily chores and settle in the mountains.
But this body is slave to the rituals of life.
No matter where you go, you will have it with you until you are alive.
First time in the many life lifetime, you have been allowed to become everything and everyone in the world. And still be empty and untouched.
I don’t want to put this down the drain.
I don’t want the mortification of births and rebirths to go in vain.
I want to honour this awakening and live the life instead of rejecting it.
I want to celebrate.
I kept the cup empty so that it could be filled with joy, love and peace.
So much so that the flood of bliss broke it.
I became blissful. I am the joy. I am in love.
Come drink from this river of happiness.
Come, let’s get drunk on the nectar of life and dance on our feet.
Bring yourself to the party. Leave everything where you are.
As this celebration demands nothing more than losing yourself.
The struggle to feed the belly has always been there.
The zest to do something excellent has always been there.
The living will go nowhere.
Face it and look it in the eye, and the battle is no more than the valour of joy.
Sway. Dance. Come.
We lived and we will live, there is no escape.
But we can decide how we can live.
Live with grace.
As the inner universe is unified, so should the reflection of it be seen outside.
Oneness.
Humans are desperately searching for meaningful connections.
Disillusioned souls desperately search for a reason to connect.
Can we connect without a reason?
Is being enough.
To see the world as our reflection and accept it as it is.
Irony is that we are tired of finding the meaning of life, and we don’t know yet.
The meaning and the fact that we are tired.
The whole purpose of humanity has been to find the meaning of things beyond our comprehension.
The definition is self-explanatory — beyond comprehension.
You can sense it, you will be aware of it, but you will never know what it is.
It is when you are not.
Is this not enough to permit yourself to be naive?
To look at the world with innocent eyes. And look at the innocence of the world around.
Beauty is the most diplomatic and powerful tool nature has.
Yet it thrives on fragility. Uncertainty.
The flowers are not worried about the sun and rain.
They bloom. They attract bees for pollination.
The chance of pollination is uncertain. Thousands of species have gone extinct.
But they dared to be. Without any meaning and any spiritually significant purpose.
The energy of love flows on an unfamiliar ground.
The path it takes is unconditional and unconventional.
You never fall in love, you rise. You become love.
Nothing else exists.
It is time for us to see life beyond the cubicles of our offices and houses.
To widen our perspective beyond the understanding sprung from the retrospect.
There is always a new horizon to be found.
You will find, invent and discover if you make mistakes.
Because a mistake leads to serendipity.
With a mistake, you stumble upon something which was waiting to be discovered.
And you discover it only because you were not expecting it.
You find yourself at the juncture that is least expected.
You find a connection with people uniquely and unpredictably.
The control and so-called freedom of choice are bondage of your mind.
Let things happen in their divine order.
You will meet people who will surprise you.
You will go to enchanted places.
You will have broken the ice on the river and swim in the flow of spontaneity.
Life is a dance of the divine.
It is a burst of spontaneity.
People live a miserable life not because things are not going their way.
They suffer because they are not accepting the current state of their lives.
Spontaneous.
Realise the nature of matter, life and happening being spontaneous.
You become more childlike, innocent. And yet more mature.
Like a flower appears to be more fragile and innocent at he peak of its blossom.
When it dares to blossom.
It does not care about drying and falling apart.
Relax. Just be.
You were born. You grew up, and you will grow old.
This is the story of everybody who is born.
Death is absolute.
Why not surrender to it?
Why not give up on the attempt to live and make a living?
Why not simply live instead?
Spontaneously.
I take risks like no one I know.
I have debts and bills to pay. But I am not worried about it.
Everything will be taken care of if I allow it to happen.
If I constantly push life where it doesn’t want to flow, I would be creating unnecessary friction.
What is supposed to happen is going to happen.
You don’t have any say in it.
Your part is just to accept whatever you are facing and be it.
You have a belly, so there is a source to fill it with.
You have needs to fulfil, and they come with a source to fulfil too.
Why not keep it a surprise instead of a disappointment?
Everybody needs to live an unconventional life, because there is nothing conventional about a unique individual.
You will find yourself when you lose everything you think you have.
The borrowed aspirations and the idea of living in the idea.
I have lived such an unconventional life.
Never married, sleeping with strangers.
Doing what I will and honouring the urges within to create.
My friends think I am paying the price of living life on my terms with loneliness.
I am not lonely, I am alone. I am at peace with myself.
And anybody who desires to connect with me will connect.
I am not confined to the bondage of marriage, where my wife or husband would be my everything.
I am open to connecting with many people on many notes.
Some physical, some mental, some platonic and many spiritual notes.
I am open to inviting my lovers to a space without bothering or offending my “Partner”.
I am open to caving for several months and doing nothing at all.
My life is not an obligation to live. It is spiritual ecstasy filled with bliss.
Living otherwise would be fooling myself.
I am enjoying being me, I am enjoying myself.
This body is the window to the world, a medium to experience the world.
This world is nothing without the body, and I take care of it.
I have discarded the limiting beliefs of spiritual beings not being materialistic and Material people not being spiritual.
Every experience this life has to offer is pious.
All that is, is holly.
The formalities and deformities — beauty includes everything.
Only one step required from your side is detachment.
Detach the ego mind from the way you experience the world.
When you are detached from the storms and the waves on the surface of the ocean, you are still.
Deep.
And when life is shaken by the storm you all you spill is love, peace and happiness.
Because you are blissful at the core.
Your cup is empty, and whatever flows, flows.
If you don’t pour the cup, only divine flows. Only divine spills.
What you give returns in the multifold.
What you sow rips fruits for you.
Find love, spread love.
Be everyone and yet untouchable by the external illusory stimuli.
Fall madly in love with yourself. Rise madly in love with the universe.
Reality seen with clarity is more than light. It is a rainbow.
Decoration of being scattered to show every colour of life.
There is no question of like and dislike.
There are no presumptions of good and bad.
