Quote of the Day - Something & Nothing

‎Love says I am everything. Wisdom says I am nothing. Between the two, my life flows

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Want to overcome feeling depressed and numb?

The times are such that its easier to fall into the traps of depression - depression has reached its peak in spite of all our technological and material advancement - because we have failed to advance our inner-selves.

Depression is a very elusive emotion, it can hide itself very well, but ultimately feels like a weight pulling you down. Life no longer has a zeal or freedom or joy which it once had. There are still moments of joy even in depression but soon depression, numbness, emptiness takes over. Even if you have all the love, comforts and riches in the world, depression can still exist, its a numbness and emptiness to life.

Depression seems impossible to get out of, if ever you even recognise you are in depression at all! The emptiness seems like it will last forever. The emptiness is filled with other moments of anger, as you remember the relationship or the event which got you into this mess in the first place, and are just angry at that individual, God or even at the world.

Through this anger and this numbness we get a lot of comfort because we get to avoid any more pain, we get to play it safe and avoid taking any more risks, we get to feel a variety of emotions inside of us which keep us entertained, we get to feel some love from others that give pity to our situation which makes us feel significant and wanted. Because of all this safety, we get used to the depression and soon it becomes our habit. We become numb and stay numb for our whole lives. OUCH!

Well, if you're reading this and relate to this, it's time to break this cycle of depression and anger, and to start living a life of fulfilment, joy and satisfaction. In this VERY moment, you have a choice to drop the past, stand up tall and strong, tell yourself that you've had enough dose of feeling pity for yourself, its time to smile and remember the excitement you had when you were a child, it's time to take a risk again and not worry about its success or failure, it's time to regulate yourself and build yourself up, expand yourself and your mind to new possibilities.

Drop the past, let it go. Relate to it as if its just a story which happened, you've had enough of dwelling and sobbing over the emotion of it all. It's time to now create a beautiful new future, full of excitement and joy. So you made a few mistakes? Oh well, that's life isn't it? Life still goes on, we can just choose how it goes on. It does not have to go on in a depressed mood, it can go on in a joyful mood.

It's just a choice for you to make deeply, to snap out of it! Remember that you chose to be depressed (as harsh as that may sound, please contemplate the truth of this deeply), so it's equally your choice to snap out of it. It's in your hands to choose joy over depression. Remember who you are: you are love, you are joy, you are perfect. You need no other person to fill you up, you just need to remember that you are joy, and nobody can take this joy away from you because it IS YOU. It's natural for joy to spring from you like a fountain of water, because you are joy, you are love. Feel it! Really feel it in your heart! You are the SOURCE OF JOY AND LOVE ITSELF! WOW!!!

Now if you are joy, there's now a new set of possibilities that have suddenly awakened in you:

• You can create now a future of your liking
• You can forgive the people in your past who hurt you
• You can make the best of your life
• You can now enjoy your life
• You can paint your life with joy and love everywhere

Inner Meaning

The search for inner meaning is an inverse process. In order to get to a place of inner meaning, first we must strip all meaning from our lives. The search for Truth is an inverse process. In order to get to something, we must first get to nothing. It is in the stillness of nothing that everything becomes clear.

The reason for this is that reality is not known to us, largely it is unknown. We have assumed a particular reality from our parents, and they from their parents, and so the cycle continues. Many of our learned behaviours, ways of thinking and being, do not serve us and our destiny. We have consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously put meaning into things that have no meaning in reality, and have put no meaning into things that have all meaning in reality.

Therefore, in order to come to knowing what serves us or not, where we should place meaning or not, we must elevate our mind to a place in which we can see clearly. This means reversing everything we have ever done until nothing is left. No thoughts. No ideas. No concepts. No meaning. In that nothingness, we can see reality and our part in that reality very clearly and therefore can begin to rebuild our lives, habits and ways of being to serve us towards our destiny, and to put meaning into things than matter and strip it from things that don’t matter.

This all sounds very philosophical, but I am a practical man, so what does this mean in day-to-day down-to-earth language? Well, firstly we must look at our lives in some way, some new way. Let’s start with one basic of all life: relationships. Think of someone you hate. Now ask yourself, what makes you hate that person? Contemplate this for a while. Now think that actually, its not that you hate them, its that you hate yourself in some way. Contemplate the gap there is in you which is making you see that you hate another person. As you continue to go within yourself to find the answer, the entire universe will also start teaching you about this small aspect of yourself. The universe will begin to create situations in your life in which you can uncover and let go of this gap. As you left go of this aspect that doesn’t serve you, new opportunities open up for you. Just as something goes, something else comes. And now you can see that from something so small, something so profound can come about. This is the process of finding inner meaning.

In this new blog, I intend to write about many aspects of Sikh Dharma, Meditation, Kundalini Yoga, Spirituality, Philosophy, God, Oneness of Religion, Spiritual Stories and Applications of Spirituality in everyday life.
