Fever - self realization?

This is the zaniest post I have made so far. But I believe moments during a fever leads one into profound thinking and deep understanding. Its surreal.

And no, I am not referring to feeling delirious or light-headed! I am referring to a hard-to-describe feeling.

Similar experience? Please share!

- The one with a 'fever'

Truth be told...

Truth is the foundation of who you were, who you are and who you will be. Nothing changes if you hold on to truth. Understand that you need not impress others or project a different (say 'larger') image of who you are. An iota of lie in your thought, word or action will take away that much from you and who you are.

At a spiritual level, when you are lying, you are moving away from the path - after all, the path is all about understanding the truth in its barest form. Lying is spirituality's biggest enemy.

At a mundane level, lying takes away respect, credibility and trust from you as an individual.

Invest in truth, reap returns through happiness, peace of mind and supreme confidence. After all, its you and the 'real'.

Existence.In the gross form.

Human beings spend a large part of their lives 'reacting' to situations. They think their 'control' of life lies in reacting to the external. Little do they realize that the greatest form of control is the act of observance and that of selflessly doing one's duty. In such a state of existence, one only 'responds' instead of 'reacting'.

Existence then becomes a process of living with awareness, of action and of conserving one's energy in the pursuit of the ultimate truth.

Good and bad.

If everything that happens is a result of Karma, is there anything such as 'good' or 'bad'? Though from a philosophical angle, our intellect might rationalize that there really isn't such a thing since it was 'meant to be', thanks once again to Karma, then the very basis of such an assumption is flawed.

If Karma is the reason why things happen, then it implies our acceptance of a force that unifies actions. Also, its usually during situations that we deem 'bad' when we call upon the 'K' term to fall back on. Which implies there has to be an opposite event/action that qualifies as 'what do you want to call it?' - call it good?

It's all one.It doesn't matter.

This awareness is all you need to get over the biggest problems, ego-confrontations, mishaps, relationship issues, big-small divides, smallness of the mind, anything at all.

If it's all one, is it worth the divide? The spirit is one; only the bodies are different.

Friend, 'spiritual' is your middle name.

1.You don't have to 'be' spiritual. You 'are' spiritual. You only have to allow it to blossom by becoming 'aware'.

2. Spirituality is the greatest gift to overcome any sort of 'problem'. In fact, embracing spirituality makes you stop looking at situations as problems.

3. It makes you aware of the greater purpose of life - self-realization; the so-called 'big' problems become insignificant.

4. It brings direction to one's existence.

5. You develop a sense of balance.

6. You become aware of your mind, your deeds, your words, your actions.

7. The awareness becomes the beacon to your path.

8. Your path becomes your gateway to eternal peace and happiness.
