Playing Chess With Destiny.

Could Future be Changed?

The most strange aspect of the Destiny is :

The Future. 

Still another even more difficult question to answer is :

How far and how much do we remember a dream? Why we most often tend to forget a dream very soon, almost imperceptibly? 

Simple Logic tells us that even if sometimes we know Future, we can't change it at all. Suppose we can change it, then how you can say you changed it? Changing it implies what you knew was really not the Future but only a glimpse of it. Because if you knew exactly it, you just can't change it, and if you can change it means you didn't know.

Still when we remember a dream as soon as we wake up from the dream, it goes fading on by and by.

This gives us a clue how we could possibly interfere with how it unfolds at the right and exact time in near or distant Future. We can also say : In this way Destiny plays upon itself.

It gave us an option to change the course of the forthcoming Future.

Usually we tend to accept blindly and believe that Future / Destiny could be changed. Isn't this paradoxical? If we doubt it, there will be no more a question of "Free-will". Still the fear or the hope about that Future remains and we like or dislike only a part of it. Then we want and try to change another part, and believe to effect this change in the Future that we knew through the dream.

So this is the trick that our mind plays with itself all the time. We, or rather the mind in this way keeps on oscillating between the idea of our "Free will" and of exercising our efforts in order to control the possible outcome that ether we like or dislike.

The most important aspect of this whole thing is that we miss to look carefully enough and tend to enquire into if we are what we call our "mind" or if we are not this thing mind, which is always a changeful phenomenon. We are never nor could be this thing, but something quite distinct, unaffected and untouched, and just because of ignorance and inadvertence, we at once due to In-attention, identify ourself though wrongly, as if we were this Changeful phenomenon, and then in this very moment,  emerges out another assumed identity.

Then we soon start saying :

I think, I believe, I do, I want, I wish, I like, or I'm so and so.

Whatever we are is what we are always and not this momentary, phenomenal appearance and disappearance that we come across.

Destiny or the Future cannot affect nor is affected by what we are.

There is no method or trick to Understand this simple fact about what we really are.

Guilt And Glee

Guilt And Glee
--
Guilt is the god but the virtual,
Devil is they say but the name.
The two faces of Jekyll and Hyde,
Everyone is an innocent prey.
One invented the Guillotine,
Another climbed the same,
The one who 'ordered' the execution,
Had never had a name!
--
The guild of the guile,
beguile the gullible,
Evoke in them,
The sense of the guilt,
Bedraggled be-dabbled they,
Own the same with glee.
The God or the devil,
The God and the devil,
Rejoice in the play,
Clap clap clap!
Clap and see!

Sickness. (poem).

Sickness.

Some sicknesses are to be kept hidden,
Some are to be shared with friends,
Some are to be enjoyed secretly alone,
Some are there to be cursed and blamed.
Be it religion, politics, tradition or belief,
Intellectual, sentimental, emotional relief, 
All sicknesses need to be attended well,
Do this and stay healthy and cured always.

Talking to Friends.

Talking to Friends :
--
Talking to friends is like talking to oneself, 
In harmony, in freedom, in peace, in a big joy. 
Talking to friends is like walking in the woods, 
In morning sunshine, in cool air, in open skies. 
Talking to friends is like singing the song of heart and love, 
In great music, in tone and in tune, 
Talking to friends is like walking the lanes of life, 
In sweet memories, in old times.

A new discussion. 'Ideology' and 'Religion'.

 'Ideology' and 'Religion'.
______________________
**********************

Good Morning!

Today's tweet @vinayvaidya111

The crucial challenge before humanity is : Could we distinguish between 'ideology' and 'religion'. How much and in what way are they related?
--
And the same is there on my face-book wall.

And I have added this comment :

Ideology is the beginning of political thought. Religion is the practicing of the acquired traditions
(and of course, 'faith' is also included to a less or more extent in this). Whole humanity is divided on these two features of society. And I think there is no exception to this, almost all who are followers of a certain ideology are 'divided' on the religious lines. And at the same time, almost all who follow a particular 'religion' are 'divided' into the groups of different ideologies.

At this moment 'in time',

"At this moment 'in time',
______________________
**********************

Yesterday,
The clock had shown this very time.
Tomorrow again,
The clock will show the same.
Everyday this happens precisely at this moment.
Punctually and meticulously.
Be it in a working condition,
Or stopped still.
So, what is new there?
Nothing, but isn't this amazing?"
--
(The above is the English translation of my own Hindi poem that yesterday had I posted on my face-book status update:

बस एक ख़याल !... ,
--
कल भी इस वक़्त,
ठीक यही समय था, 
कल फिर होगा, 
इस वक़्त, 
ठीक यही समय,
हर दिन होता है !
इसमें कौन सी नई बात है?
पर फ़िर भी हैरत की बात तो है ही ! ...
शुभ रात्रि !

Note :
And Today saw this 'update' of :

Illusions of the optical kinds.
Illusions of the grammatical kinds.

Just now read a brief biography of George Boole, the famous mathematician of wonderful accomplishments. Certainly a genius extra-ordinary.
And a question came up in the mind, like (a) thought that keeps up appearing and disappearing.
Could thought possibly operate upon itself? Is not thought ignorance that looks like knowledge? Is not thought delusion? Is not thought evaluation, formulation? Is not thought distraction? Thought functions within the ambit of the known. How can thought transcend itself? Thought is its own shadow, formed in the light of consciousness. It is only  when the thought, tired of its own restlessness sits silent on its own, that the light of the consciousness is seen, that swallows the thought along-with the shadow.
