I am trying (to understand). In the process, I hope to share my experiences on this platform... When I write, I need to self-talk, read, re-read, (re-write)... Then I find gaps, my mis-understandings, errors both in my writing as well as in behavior. And I get lessons on what I need to learn/improve. Then I try. I fail. I re-try. I fail. Did I? No, because I tried again. This is my way of life to lead myself: Personally and Professionally. Checkout my other blogs and work at http://www.worldOFkaizen.com/

Eternally Happy

Part-I
The Journey: Wants-to-Needs! Extrinsic-to-Intrinsic !!

Happiness is the desire, that makes you-n-me wild
From a new born child to grand-grand parents of the child.

Cries the child, 'cause it feels hungry.
Sooner gets fed, faster it feels happy.
Attention-defied grandpa feels sad-n-sundry.
Surplus attention makes both happy.


Either-or, happiness is dependent-n-external.
Isn't then dis-continuity in happiness surely eternal?


Child feels happy on getting it's needs.
Minimalistic n short-term being it's deeds.

With age, smaller 'needs' become 'wants': Bigger desires.
And then bigger-n-yet-bigger desires.

Child needs shelter, man wants house.
Then 'wants' smarter-n-bigger house.
Fancier-n-bigger car.
'Wants' to move around-near-n-far.

Then ... S/he-n-her-Wan(t)s.. 
Polluting Self-n-the-Planet On-n-On-n-On.
One day brings maturity, the dusky-silky-Dawn.

Realisation-dawn(s);
That "surely missing 'something' more, you-silly-pawn"
Even after taking 'Bigger-n-more, N-more, N-more' by-the-horn.

Realisation that 'bigger-n-more' was the need of In-secure-pawn'.
Thinking it lasts 'longer', N-hence-feeling more 'Secure-Don'.

Hey.. tell-me!

Can anyone answer ...?
How much 'more-n-bigger'
Will make one more sure-n-secure;
N-secure.. N-secure.. how much longer?


He knows? She knows?? No-one knows!
God-only-knows!!
At most it's finite that everyone knows!!!

Amassing so-called-secure bunker-houses,

With 'suicide-bomb' army around, that keenly browses,
Oh-no; useless turned out his colossal material wealth,
Drones that still overnight knocked him down-to-death.

Alas! The Death of so-call('d) Wealth!


Material wealth can't go beyon(d) the Cycle of Supreme: The GOD!
Thou are Greath! Generation-Operation-Destruction!! Oh My GOD!!!




Part-II
The Journey: Body-to-Mind-to-Soul ! Happiness-to-Bliss !! 

Material-Wealth to Holistic-Health of The-Soul, 
Want-of Visible-Body to Need-of The-Subtle-Invisible-Soul,
In Earth-Water-Fire-Air-Aether as the complete 'Whole',
No one except the Subtler-Supreme really,
Has 'That' quality of 'Being There' eternally.

Faster-n-earlier realises this Someone, 
'Luckier-n-happier' pawn is s/he the One!

Moving from complexity-to-simplicity in-the-pan I (Aa-y)
Too small-n-complex; Me, An Idiot-Fr....ay..y,
Trying to be the luckier one
by Deep-Diving-take on this difficult-one!

Serving with dedication the Karma I undertake.
Y'day say for a new array's sake
So that two frames same hook can take. 

Next finishing a-deed a-day earlier, 
Making the-served-one* a little more happier.

N-yet next, arranging a desk neater-n-cleaner
Making life of my dear (wife) a bit (duller?) merrier-n-simpler.

At No extra Wealth, No-Money!

Only some Creative Fun-filled Efforts Honey!!
WOW!
Smaller-n-surer the doses..
Faster-n-easier the journey crosses..
Meditative-n-Blissful 'Inside' it poises! 

Still unsatisfied? That's a quick self-test Buddy:
It tells, may be you are Moody.
Be patient in this meditative journey you Goodie
Go Steady! N-steady!! N-steady!!!
(*My Customer, My Stakeholders)

Am I 'Short-sighted' or 'Long-sighted'?

"Bring my gold-rimmed glasses, Paddy" 
Boasted she while making her presentation ready
"But you are wearing one already"...
"That is not for 'meetings', you Maddy" 

Proud and prompt came the reply while real-gold-rimmed glasses got delivered to her.


People don't mind carrying 'extra' even if it means extra cost (space & weight) to carry. Cost-of-carrying 'extra' from home to work, work to leisure, leisure (back) to home: throughout life.

Why (does this happen)?

A confusion of aesthetics taking precedence over functionality.
'How am I seen' gets more important in the rat-race than 'Who-n-How am I'?
'Show' takes precedence over 'reality',
'want over  need', 'cost over value'. 
And 'short-sight' over 'long-sight'. 

Am I 'short-sighted' or 'long-sighted'?
Anyone can take this simple test!

I took one to find myself a mix of both; sometimes 'short-sighted', less time 'long'.

Real journey is to take conscious actions towards being less 'short-sighted' a creature. And faster so!
