The Devil ' I '

           Sorry everyone, I couldn't update my blog for about a month; mainly because of my laziness combined with my over hyped disinterest. I have had many things to share but donno what put be in the back stage, I wasn't up to writing. This post is something which I feel is something very important, is something our culture taught us, our dharma advocates us. It is about I.

                       Situations can mould one's character to such an extent that people change in a way one cannot imagine him to be. It might be for good or bad, God knows but I would say here about a subtle concept which could change one from “worldly and materialistic pleasures " to the ideal atonement which cannot be defined or said but felt and experienced. This may sound preachy and philosophical for many but one should also remember than one cannot always run away from these, which are those that define a being.

                                People many a times speak about the differences, the diversity or to say the indifference surrounding us, but they rarely try to give it a shot themselves. They are differences everywhere, and here comes the “Fight for Identity ". What about me? What about my position there?; everywhere I, I and I. What about we? "We" can be said in a broader scope, it has a power to encompass everyone, can include anything how unimportant you might think. It is like an ocean which humbly adds anything and can be moulded like toothpaste. How wonderful it would be if that closed, inner circle of you, your family and your friends extends to everything on this earth, how big or small, how great or subtle it might be. Where you love everyone and care without caring what it might be. Well too ideal or too difficult, but can be tried. Think of those whom you think as indifferent or mean to be ignorant and give it a shot to feel and care for them. Worth a shot .....

            You find people calling to "believe in yourself", many grope about to find what does 'yourself' mean. Here's my interpretation of it with my experience and my reasoning of it. Believing oneself is completely not in favour of one's animal 'I', which is always seeking for easy gratification, but is almost in every case against it. The devil 'I' is what you do for your own happiness, for your pleasures or to say "selfishness". It is something like "believing in others", here everything is decided already and always in favour of devil I and against spiritual. It is because it is too difficult to believe in one's self, one's self imposed moral constraints; here one has to decide every question himself.
                  Keep trying to fight and never be in a ‘chronic mania of selfishness’
