Silence-Mother of creativity
Traveling is very much connected to a mind, which is extremely meditative. Nature acts as a magnet and attracts one who is awakened.
The reason that nature attracts an awakened being is that they have same amount of emptiness and creativity inside them.
In fact travelling is a meditation for me too since it opens channels of my creativity. I feel utter freedom when sitting on the mountains while talking to them.
On my last trip of India, I was fortunate enough to trek on the sacred mountains of Himalayas. While sitting on top of mountains, I could feel the breath of those mountains.
I could actually feel that those mountains and trees have lot of creativity inside them. I felt for a moment that human has lost creativity inside him due to miserable and dull capitalistic societies.
I realized everything from mountains to trees except civilized human could feel the bliss present in life. We have simple lost an art to enjoy our birthright, which is silence. Most of us are even scared of solitude and always keep trying to find companions and friends to be alive.
We need to realize that we could never be in solitude. We always have sacred breath accompanying us all the time.
Until we are aware of our own breath, we could never feel the bliss associated with life. We cannot simply find the infinite amount of creativity present within our silence until we feel our breath.
Until one is not creative enough to feel the bliss of silence, one could never celebrate life with others also. There is no way that until one falls in love with his aloneness, one could be cheerful in the company of others.
Celebrating life with others is an act of highly satisfied and creative human being. Most of time, in our modern societies we gather on parties or religious temples, in trying to fulfill our emptiness and dull lives, which we call celebration. But there is no way that we could celebrate the sacred life with others until we celebrate our own silence.
One who can’t celebrate his own silence can never celebrate life with others
I hope that one-day human would realize that one goal of life is to make it a creative act in the modern capitalistic society, which is full of emptiness and dullness.

Modern society-A Misery
Since I was a kid, I have been taught to take responsibility. From my parents to school teachers, everybody taught me to take responsibility for something.
Each of my mentors in life taught me to compete with other human beings in life. From kindergarten to university, I kept on competing with others for something.
After I finished my education, I got good job in corporate sector. Even though I was making a good salary but my desire to possess things was never ending. I literally felt that I have been brain washed to compete and possess things by education system and other belief systems in society.
Even though I was so much indulged in trying to possess wealth, I would always give sometime to my own thinking. Being philosophical is my basic nature even though nobody taught me this.
Every day I would sit by myself quietly for one hour during lunch time while I was working for corporate sector. It was one afternoon when I went into deep meditation while sitting quietly thinking about my own life. All of sudden I felt so much love in that moment. It was literally that moment which changed my whole life.
After experiencing that moment of love, I realized that from my parents to school teachers, nobody ever taught me love. I just realized that education system teaches everything except love.
It is just lack of love that we try to possess things. It is only lack of love that we keep on trying to compete with each other. Society literally teaches human to be paid slave. Society is in fact incapable to teach anything about love since it does not know anything about freedom and love.
I was fortunate to experience that moment of love which unconditioned my brain from ridiculous conditioning of competition. But I still wonder about misery prevailing within human race in modern society.
I am sure that if a moment of love could end my misery by ending my desire to possess things and compete with others, then love would definitely change each human being in civilization.
Sharing leads to love. Division could only lead to misery.
I am sure that soon we would live in a society where everybody would share among each other instead of competing. I am sure that one day foundation of our society would be love and freedom instead of misery and slavery.

Cause of Human misery
The whole humanity is under misery when I look it with my eyes. Misery starts from my home and it never ends anywhere outside. Everybody from my parents to friends seems to be miserable to some extent.
I often wonder if misery is really what human is born to live in. But if human is supposed to live a miserable life, then my life should also be a misery, which is not the case. My life teaches me that human is definitely not born to be miserable.
But then one question comes to my mind if human is not born to live in misery, what could be reason for all this misery with human all over the world.
There could be many reasons for human misery. Sick Society could be one prime cause of human misery. Most of us keep trying to prove in a society, which is already sick. Won’t it make one even more sick and miserable when try to prove in a society, which is already sick.
The foundation of human society is based upon certain set of rules and conditioning which is very much against human basic nature which is wild and which knows only freedom.
Human is born out of nature, which is utterly free. So human is supposed to live in utter freedom. Since society is based upon certain rules and regulation which causes most of conflict for human to live freely. Since lifestyle of human in modern society is in conflict with his basic nature which is one reason for human misery.
Lack of love in life could be another reason of human never ending misery. Everybody in nature including human is born out of love. Misery is that human is incapable to love in society.
Most of civilized humans think that they are in love when they know nothing about love. They keep trying to feel love without falling in love. It is simply not possible for someone to fall in love without freedom. Love only exists where freedom exists.
Only in utter freedom one could find love and only in love one could get rid of misery
One thing I am pretty sure that reason of life is not be in misery, but to be in love. Social society needs to be reshaped for human to be in freedom, and then only human could find love which life offers.
Only when one is free, one could find love in life only then one could get rid of all the misery. Only when one finds love one could realize how blissful life is. I hope human would understand this fact soon to get rid of never ending misery.
