Supreme Non attachment


In all lives, the human being is the only being who can do this. No other animal can do this as easily as a human can do. Yes. Nonattachment of objects. But in actuality, the human being is the only being that accumulates not only sufficient for him but struggles to accumulate so that his next seven generations should not face any problem. He never understands that generations get what they deserve.
And now a day, property, money, general objects of day to day use even pets have become desirable things. If we have them, we cannot sleep in the fear of if somebody steals them from us. And if we do not have them, we cannot sleep in the worry of not having anything.  
A man has many desires which keep increasing with time. These desires increase attachments.
There was a boy who had nothing but just a small sleeping bag with him. He used to sleep on the road. As he had no property he was sleeping quite well in the night on the footpath. He was keeping his sleeping bag in one corner of his workstation. He was a waiter in one restaurant. As he used to be busy, there was a chance of losing his bag. So he thought of taking one small room on rent for stay. As he took one room, he was required to pay all rent, electricity bill, water bill, etc by himself. So he started working overtime. But still, he was not able to satisfy his financial needs. So he decided to keep a partner. The partner came in. As now they were two, they thought to save money by making food at home for themselves. Now they bought the grocery for the food preparation and some necessary things as well in partnership. But as their income increased due to partnership, they decided to appoint a maid for household work. The maid started spending more money on food. So they again started working hard and earning more money. Now they decided to marry, so now they will require separate homes. So they rented small homes and got married. As his wife was working, they kept a maid. They added a lot of home appliances as well. After some days, children got added to the family. Now, both his wife and he were required to work hard to earn more money for children and their future. As there was more number of people, earning was required more.
When he was on road having nothing other than just a sleeping bag, he was able to sleep at night with happiness. But as he started possessing objects, his desire kept on increasing. Desire is one thing that never ends. If you complete one, another generates. So it is always better to be happy with what you have. Rather you should try to reduce dependency on objects. When you leave everything, you will be the happiest person as there would be nothing to lose. Keep minimum rather than optimum things in your life. Then try to reduce the minimum level below till it reaches zero.
Zero is an ideal goal in everything.

The purity of thought

  Everything in the world in its purest form becomes its best form. The water when achieves its purest form becomes the sweetest in the taste. When air is in its purest form it becomes the freshest air. The same thing happens with our minds as well. If you remove all your possessiveness from the mind, the mind works most beautifully. If your thoughts are pure, you become the best person.  Bhagwan Mahaveer, Lord Ram left everything and become God. Lord Jesus left this world on the cross and it became the symbol of Christians.  Lord Gautam Buddha also left his extra luxurious life as a king and became a saint. When your soul starts its purification, material possessiveness goes away from the soul.  There was a rich person living in a palace. He was a miser, would not spend a single penny extra, or would not help anybody. Once there was a flood in the town. His palace got immersed in water. He was on the top of the palace.  A man with a boat came and as...

Mystery of a shoe bomb

     Lily unlocked the back door of the thrift store using a key that didn't belong to her. She entered the store with silent footsteps. It was late at night, and the only people in the store were security guards stationed outside. Lily had entered the store from the backyard as both security guards were on the front side dealing with a psycho client who was yelling at the business for poor product quality. She dashed towards the processing portion of the business, where donated items are accepted, verified, and refurbished. There were several cameras, wires, and other items that were kept discretely. She instantly began looking in the midst of the mayhem. She found the camera after some searching. There was some data on the camera chip that may assist Lily save her boyfriend. While the data was being collected, Lily began visualising the beginning of this narrative. Lily had just received her first pay check as a schoolteacher. She had set up a date with her...

Sacrifice

Human life is incomplete without sacrifice. But if we have no other option than to sacrifice something is not actually a sacrifice. It is called helplessness. It has an altogether different system. Also, sacrifice is always to give something and not taking out the life of anybody or anything. When we have lots of options by which we can possess more than what we have or there is no need to donate something to somebody but still if we sacrifice or donate for someone’s betterment is actually a sacrifice.  As human beings, we live in society. So it is our duty to donate what society needed. This donation can be small or big but it should be as per society’s requirement.   Donation by pure heart gives the best result in terms of real happiness and inner peace.  Suppose you are walking on the road with a vegan sandwich in hand. And you see a very poor small orphan boy, very hungry crying for food, ask you the sandwich. You already had food. But you have taken ...
