The fish deep in the sea thriving for water to quench its thirst; or a
fish deep down in the sea striving to see the sea itself - these are
the very acts of paradoxes of perversions and divergence from the very
flow of life force or life abundance.

Men from down the ages are on a path of collusion and illusion to seek
or catch a much cherished precious thing called ‘happiness’. Thanks to
his endless capacity of imagination and fantasy, and thanks to the
added up vast store of bountiful and beautified literary fiction,
sermons, scriptures and discourses - the humankind is on an endless
path of friction to find that ‘happiness’. Call it whatever you fancy
like - ‘nirvana’, ‘eternal bliss’, ‘eternal freedom’, ‘liberation’,
‘moksha’ or ‘enlightenment’ or a vast host of many other endless
profound junky-hunky holy words. The whole mankind is gripped in their
greed to attain this ‘happiness’ - it’s more intense in those people
whose pockets and stomach are full. And so are there a whole bigger
bunches of ever growing numbers of spiritual gurus, saviours, popped
up to help the gullible people attain the falsified things like
‘enlightenment’, ‘eternal happiness and power’ and all such kind of
utter nonsense. An ever growing bigger fertile land of business is
presented out there for these thriving glorious gurus to feed on the
‘fouls and souls’ of gullible mass people. The otherwise sane and
happy people are nicely trapped in noble holy cradles of these gurus
in the name of so called noble cause. These gurus have taken a great
mantle of so called sacrifice and responsibility to liberate the
humanity from their miseries and restore peace and harmony on this
earth – the biggest lie and myth ever floated on this beautiful planet
earth by these greedy gurus.

The biggest strategy of these gurus and messiahs is ‘to never allow
the gullible people to live as they are, but to stir and turn them to
live as it should be’ – the most false and life-insulting foundation.
Is there any bigger lie or myth than this? The hole humanity is
suffering because of this wrong foundation. Our nature loving sane
children are made to think otherwise to strive and struggle. Earlier
there were wars and fights for the simple gross survival and food
needs. Now the nations, political powers, priest platforms are
continuously waging wars day in and out for the so called far more
sophisticated vested trivial issues and ideologies. Weapons of mass
destruction are in the hands of blood-thirsty petty politicians and
the powers that may be. Today the biggest threat to this planet earth
is from the ‘unholy’ alliance between these power politicians and
spiritual gurus.

Our life is like ‘as it is’, it is less like ‘as it should be’. Once
many of our false problems, false solutions, false searches, false
seeking are dropped, a major chunk of ‘friction’ that we are
witnessing today may at once disappear and we may breathe in a fresh
air of relief. Life is more like an eternal cycle of change; and never
may we desire for the so called ‘eternal happiness’ – that’s the very
opposing and conflicting tenor of the flow of this life force.
