Dear
all….,
With
sincere thanks to all of you
For
all the support and help
I
got from all of you hitherto
And
with some simple notes, as below,
Here
goes my leaving note:
“Expect
not or try not
To
use thread in place of needles
And
needles in place of thread.
You
may have such argument that
‘Threads
stand and stay long
Needing
no further space and freedom.’
But
the threads are never
Further
creative and innovative,
Than
to shelter itself and stay long
In
the same place, in the same hole
Found
for them by the needles.
You
may further have such complaint that
‘Needles
will need and ask for freedom and space.
They
will also need place or hands
To
stand in or to hold it with confidence in it.
True.
But the needles will act and play the game
Of
finding, creating and treading new paths.
Needles
can’t be but creative and innovative
And
can’t be but finding and initiating new paths.
Needles,
in its wayfaring of continuous movement
Live
only to tread, create and find new holes
For
the threads (generations) behind it
To
stay and live in for long and ever.
Needles
are the leaders and prophets.
They
move in and out, for others.
Coming
in, they will go and disappear
On
their way of making further more inventions and innovations
To
create further more new paths and thoughts.
Needles
can never stay long
In
the same place for the same cause.
**********************
Mistakes
are not mistakes
But
the causes of and for new births –
New
dots of continuity- to dance of life.
***********
From
unknown and to the unknown
The
needle wayfarer moves strangely in and out
Keeping
his unknown-ness intact.
Never
identified, never recognized
He
will move in and out.
Being
a wind or a dust in the wind,
His
only qualification and title is
“Strangeness” and, thereby, “Wayfaring”.
A
stranger wayfarer.
***********
So
is he a man of no religion -
Never
defined and never confined.
For
him, religion is a concept of confinement
Wherein
stops, or get stuck, the spiritual seeking,
And
whereby one happens to worship
Devil
in the name of God.
So
is he a man of no organizations too.
For
him, organizations are the world
So
closed and small
That
one easily becomes big.
The
world of no-organization is so big
That
one will become very small.
That
is why and how
The
biggest and mightiest truth, God, too
Opted
for himself to be the smallest
Creating
this big a universe in front of him and us
As
the shield, he unmade him to be
The
most unseen, unnoticed and unknown an element
*************
For
a wayfarer,
Life
is in insecurities
Of
infinite openness and freedom
Than
in the full, finite and tight securities
Of
closed world of womb and tomb.
That
is why, he says, life of humans or any being
Start
by coming out of secure womb.
***********
Wayfaring
has no start and end.
It
never starts from the hole of womb.
And
it will never end in the hole of tomb.
Life
is ever continuing
Passing
by from one to another.
For
that he says:
‘One
simple dot may mean a “full stop”.
“But,
what would many of such simple dots mean?”
“Not
many full stops”.
But
“infinity”.
“Continuity”
in the world of “infinity”.
Collection
of finite dots or stops constitute infinity.
Collection
of finite stops constitute movement and flow.
*************
So, leaving Kuwait,
passing by,
A closed world of
material security
To enter into the world
of openness
Of spiritual
insecurities and uncertainties
Preferring dots of
infinity to the only one finite dot.
***********
Every finishing is a
start too
And every start denotes
to
An end to the phase
behind.
Born because we died from the womb.
Again we will die from here
to be reborn somewhere.
That is how the setting
down causes the rising up.
***************
A decision, whatever be
its kind
And for whatever be it
is for,
At least will give:
A breath of relief and
consolation
To those who are jealous
A breath of reminder
To those who are
courageous
A breath of
lesson
To those who are coward and
afraid.
**************
Decision to do anything
new
Will be welcomed or
resisted the most
By two quite opposite
groups equally.
By his real friends
To see their friend is
on the path of growth and prosperity
And is in and with
change and novelty.
By his real enemies, who
will also be jealous,
To see their enemy is on
the path of regression and collapse
And is misguided ,
derailed or stagnant
In and with dead, old
and stinking world.
****************
So, leaving Kuwait.
Just for leaving….
To be moving and
wayfaring.
*************
Without moving
continuously
A stranger or a wayfarer
Cannot be a stranger or
a wayfarer
And this universe can’t
be the way it is.
And any one who
continues to be moving
Can’t get any other
title
Than that of a
‘wayfarer’ or a ‘stranger’.
************* *************
Question may arise
Why a stranger or a
wayfarer
Should move or leave?
Answer is:
Because
The whole universe is in
flex and flow
And is in the action of
spontaneous dance.
Because
No one can dance without
moving
And leaving one step for
other.
And just because
Nothing can attract a
wayfarer,
Except for a while, that
too for curiosity.
And because
A wayfarer is not an
iron piece
And this world is not a
magnet in front of him.
***********
As a vehicle with
purpose to meet and reach
He has to be in
continuous running.
He can’t sit and he
can’t run only for filling fuel.
Rather he has certain
purpose to meet
And certain meaning to
find.
The great purpose of
purposelessness.
The great meaning of
meaninglessness.
He may need fuel.
But he can’t run and
live only for the fuel.
He may need to work for
finding fuel.
But he can’t surrender
him and all his life
Only for the fuel and
for the work of finding fuel.
****************
So a wayfarer never
happens
To be stuck in his way
of wayfaring.
He may not be a wind,
But he will be like at
least a dust in the wind.
Ever moving in and with
the wind
To the direction it
takes.
*********
And he happens to get
up,
Feeling compelled from
within,
To leave any spot, any
dining table.
He will have the mindset
of
Feeling full in his
stomach,
Even if a lot remaining
on the table.
He may be hungry and he
will be hungry.
But will never be hungry
and tired
To be stuck in the way.
He lives in present
And he doesn’t’ wait for
future.
Future will come to him
Only in the form and
dress of present.
So, he doesn’t wait
before any table
To become hungry again,
for future.
He knows, for his reason
of no-reason,
Wherever he goes in his wayfaring,
A dining table for him
to dine will be
In waiting as present.
*********
So, answering the
questions
The stranger wayfarer
has only one thing to say
“To seek for stomach and
physic,
There should be a limit
and stop,
Even if there is no
barriers
And nobody asks for such
barriers,
One should put his own
barrier and boundary.
But to seek the meaning
or spirit
There should be no limit
and stop.
Even if there are
barriers
And even if the barriers
are asked for
One should break them and
go further seeking.”
***************
Human
wants are limited.
Very
limited, and are never unlimited.
Human needs can
further be limited to nil
If they come out of
illusory world -
The world of mere
physicality.
Adam Smith and any
other economist were wrong
To say human wants are
unlimited.
It is the sickness
that makes our needs to be unlimited.
It is the sickness
that creates hollowness in us to feel never filled.
The sickness of
physicality and its sickness of desires
Whereby the physic and
its mind becomes a disease or infection
That affects our soul
/ spirit that is pure.
Even physically
thinking, what are and were our real needs.
Air, the thing one needs the most, is free in and
by the bounty of nature.
Water, the second most needed thing, is also free in
and from mother nature.
Light and heat, with which life sustains and survives, is also
freely free in nature.
Food, the fuel with which one runs
and functions, is in nature free of any intervention
unless we complicate
and obstruct its free distribution by nature.
Shelter. The whole nature is your shelter and in
the whole nature you have shelter
If you are really
ready to feel you are sheltered.
Opposite sex, by which one harmonizes in and reproduces, is
also free in and by nature.
Peace of mind. The thing one has to find from
within. Can never be produced, supplied or found in the market.
All other needs are
unwanted and are created artificial needs
For which humans are
made to work and burn his life.
For which humans will
have to burden and corrupt his soul.
Adam Smith or any
other economists knew
Only those who have
more needs, artificial needs.
Not those who are rich
with less needs and with no artificial needs.
Rich are the ones who
have fewer needs
And who do not want to
have more.
Rich are those who
have the feel of satisfaction.
Rich are not the ones
who have everything
But feeling hollow and
are not happy and satisfied.
Rich are not those who need to have more and feel never full.
They are poor with all
their millions and billions to count
They are poor with
more needs and their burning feel to have more
Human needs will
become unlimited
If he is trapped in
illusory dreams
And living with
sickness of desires of ignorance
And happens to
make unnecessary as his necessaries.
****************
Came here in Kuwait,
To be one among
thousands in the queue
For the ration of
physical life
Of days, months and
years.
Reaching here I could
see thousands like me,
Physically, in such
physical queues.
Among them were
millionaires and billionaires
Still in the same queue
as poor beggars.
Luckily, getting into
the front row of the queue,
Knowingly or
unknowingly,
I asked myself, “what I
am here for?”.
The answer was very
simple:
“For the physical ration
mine”.
So, the next question
was:
“How long should I be
here in this queue
If I really go with the
logic of getting ration?
Answer: “Till I am sure
I got the ration I came for”.
Third question was:
When I can be sure I got
the ration I cam for?”
Answer
“When you have the
mindset
That recognizes, gets
satisfied and becomes happy.
“Then and there you are
and you become rich,
Even if you happen to be
living in a hut
With no penny remaining
in your hand.”
“And if you won’t have
that mindset
That recognizes,
satisfies and becomes happy,
Then and there you will
remain ever as poor,
Even if you happen to be
living in palaces
With millions and
billion in your savings to count”
********* *******
So, now, my friends,
physical friends,
You have to advise me.
“For what I should not
leave?”
or
“Why shouldn’t I leave?”
Shouldn’t I give the
chance I got to others as well
When they are also
waiting in the queue for their ration?
Please advise me
again.
If I got what I came
for, or more,
Should I continue my
stand in the queue
To collect more and more
into my sack?
Just to increase my
disease of desires and needs
Just for the reason I am
in front line of the queue
Or just because there is
more on the table
And I can have more at
others cost
*******************
***************
True to say frankly,
I came here just to earn
an amount
That can buy an auto
rickshaw.
Never with an idea
To earn the sickness of
desire
And its outcome of burnt
death
Burning in the fire of
desire,
Increasing the number of
needs,
I can easily be
physically rich.
************
Luckily could work and
had the money
That can buy an auto
rickshaw.
I can change my dreams
and desires
To buying aero planes
and airport together.
Especially when I am here
in my job.
***************
*************
But the question is
Should I spoil or
pollute my self, my soul,
Wanting more and more
Creating more bigger
list of requirements?
Or should I eat only
till my hunger is gone?
Or should I eat, even
after hunger is gone,
Just because there is
big amount of food
Remaining on the table?
*************** *****************
What I decided is to
leave the table,
The dining table of
Kuwait.
To others who are
hungry and waiting.
I decided not to create
in me,
Or not to cause in me a
mindset that will ask me
To buy an Airplane and
airport together
And to remain here,
increasing my needs and desires,
Till children of my
grand children are employed and married,
Even after I had enough
to buy auto-rickshaw or airplane and airport.
*****************
*************
I can increase the
number of breads in my hands.
No one can stop me while
I am here in the front most
In the queue, with my
job.
I can disallow many
others in the queue, behind me,
And deny them with my
continuous presence,
What I could earn and have.
******************
***************
So, am I leaving from
the queue, my job,
Happily with the
bread for my children for the day.
For those behind me, who
are and were denied.
Denied ones as well have
the same right
In the opportunity I got
to sustain.
*************
******************
True, sky is very
high.
Higher and higher we can
fly too.
But, heavier and deeper
will be the fall down
From unwanted heights we
reach.
**************
True, sky is
very high and wide open.
Still, no fly or bird,
hitherto, have flown
All the heights of all
the skies physically.
Not because they can’t,
But because they don’t
need too.
*************
******
Fact is fact.
The whole ocean is there
in front of us for free,
But no one will need to
drink all the water in it.
One has to stop when one
is full and quenched.
To do so, one has to be
able to feel and know
That he is full and
quenched.
One has to be wise enough
to drink what he needs
And breath in only the
amount he needs.
Or else, knowing or
unknowing,
He will be killing
himself.
Be it physically or
spiritually.
*************
There is no limit and
boundary for material seeking.
But one should make by
his own limit and boundary to save his soul.
Spiritually, there may
be only boundaries, definitions and limits,
Set by Muhammed or
Buddha or Jesus,
But one should break
them all
To fly beyond
weightlessly with conviction.
********************
One should not get burnt
Just to earn his own
death and his burnt life’s ash.
************
Spiritually, every one
has got a sky,
But somehow, limited and
defined by others,
Be it by Buddha or
Mohammed or Jesus or any.
So are they at peace in
their orthodoxy
Not to further seek but
to follow.
**************
But materially, with
their orthodoxy,
No one follows any other
And each one keeps his
own path and sky
Open, undefined and
unlimited.
Hence everyone, in real
life,
Live only the life that
is physical and material
Spirit and spirituality
is used
Only to enhance his
material seeking and earning.
****************
And
a final note to
The
corporate leaders and executives
Don’t
ever be brooding over the stones
To
hatch them into chicks
Thinking
they are the eggs
And
never throw away the eggs and seeds in your hands
Thinking
they are the stones and thorns in your way forward.
