spirituality, anyone? |

again, my thoughts here are entirely my own, and i guess that they're in variance with the majority of this group, but here goes, anyway:
01. i believe in god.
02. not in any god, or an idol, or a face, or a name, or a concept.
03. i believe in myself, first and foremost.
04. to me, i AM god. my own, personal, favorite, best-friend, god.
05. if anything needs to be done that are beyond my personal powers, i can count on my own god to help me out.
06. this personal guy is myself, there's nobody else out there.
in effect, god helps those who help themselves, and who better to do it than self? look in the mirror, people, and you'll see god. he's (or she's, depending on the context) where you want him / her to be, not necessarily sitting in one corner of a temple. your personal god doesn't need any maintenance, all that he / she asks is this:
"look into your mirror and smile. if you can see the glint in the reflection's eyes, and your smile is returned in full (or better) force, there - you've done good. your job is done. you can sleep well now."
simple, really, isn't it? all that we do - dharma, artha, kama... it's entirely to ensure that your family is well fed, educated and so on, just for the concept of a continuous loop of life and death. preferably, GOOD life and a GOOD death.
whatever makes sense of this post, please go ahead and take it. i really couldn't find anything illuminating here, but i'll sleep better today. guaranteed.
and with me / my god firmly comfortable, too.
cheers,
yak.Private Reply to yaka michi (new win) |
