Mr.Joy and Mr.Bliss
A few years ago, i had met a good friend,whom i had lost touch with in a lift. he was at one point my friend philo guide kind of person, till we lost touch, in the busyness of city living...and on that day when we accidentally met again', and on being asked about the mandatory 'hows u doing?', i had replied..since we last met? i think im less hyper, less attached, more in control but im yet to meet Mr. Joy and Mr. Bliss, as promised by Shriman Osho. He had grinned.
Now years later, I remember this conversation. cause i think ive finally figured out who Mr.joy and Mr. Bliss are, or what makes them tick so as to put it.
Till now i had always believed that if and when, mr.joy and mr.bliss, would come to me,it would be a total silence. where there would be no chaos. only harmony.in every day living.
In fact,I even had a sneaking feeling that such a life wud be comatose, almost dead, what with neither lows of pain nor highs of pleasure effecting you, life in short would be reduced to just plain living.in one word, boring!...i mean how on earth could life be anything other than boring, if u removed pleasure and pain from the canvas?
today however, a new thought enters the head....bliss and joy are not absence of strife at all. its harmony within the strife. its a throbbing, pulsating way of living, cause all the emotions needed to make a person feel alive,is not subtracted. it doesn't mean u seek pain and pleasure to make life exciting, it doesn't also mean that there will never be the two Ps. the two Ps will always exist, co-exist. but bliss and joy ensures. that u don't lose is the ability to be exuberant each and every single day..each day is a bundle of experiences in exuberance. u are still connected to the source of positive energy, in spite of the strife. or the strife are part of the exuberance.
i dont know if im making sense, or even if il feel the same tomorrow, but yes this is the gyan for today
