Searching for Happiness is the Sure Way to Miss Happiness

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 whole 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.

Some Quotes to uproot the Happiness Search:

Be happy while you’re living, for you’re a long time dead.
- Scottish Proverb

Happiness grows at our firesides and is not to be picked in strangers’ gardens.
- D. Jerrard

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you’ll never find it.
C. P. Snow (1905 - 1980)

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), “Man and Superman” (1903), act I

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880)

The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
- John Berry, Flight of White Crows

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
- Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
-James Oppenheim

Parveen Babi: a Perfumed Body

We heard that the ‘fire’ friends of UG couldn’t resist meeting at the residence of K. Chandrasekhar, in Bangalore on 22nd March (2008), the day a year ago UG said good bye to his mortal body. As we all know, Chandrasekhar is a pious and long-standing UG’s brand friend and well-known UG’s archiver, and in a sense he is more like a catalyst to bait UG brand to a larger chores of people in Bangalore. For Chandrasekhar, now UG is more alive and his (Chandrasekhar’s) actions and enthusiasm would speak it well.

Among other things, on this occasion a Kannada version of UG’s (Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti) brand book, ‘The Mystique of Enlightenment’ was brought out; one Mr Shama Rao rendered this Kannada translation, it seems. Mahesh Bhatt’s presence on the occasion was glittering and glitzy, as I guess.

Another proud moment was that of the release of an interesting booklet on Parveen Babi’s account as well as encounter of her own life after she met that fire UG. This booklet was compiled by none other than our friend Madhusudhana Rao (Madhu), with the full support of K Chandrasekhar. Interestingly and fittingly this glittering booklet of Parveen Babi’s encounter with her life and UG, was released on the occasion by Mahesh Bhatt and the first copy was received by none other than Mrs. Suguna Chandrasekhar – a most pious and admired lady of UG. I understand, many of us may not know the other side or face of Parveen Babi,who was projected and portrayed as a lust-brand actress, seductress and Bollywood star in the glamorous glittering glitzy Hindi film world. But very few people know the duress of her life. Thanks to Mahesh Bhatt, her encounter with UG was just her encounter with her own life. The Booklet brought out by Madhu, may shed a new phase of light on Parveen Babi’s life, in the context of UG. I understand, there are millions of Parveen Babis’ amongst us.

Ours is a mad hypocritical holy shit society. In a sense the whole spirituality and duality stuff is the biggest filth and lie on this earth. UG says, “we are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there, or the flies that are hovering around us …”

As long as this world wont take the hard reality that first and foremost and forever we are neuro-biological, the whole humanity is bound to end up in a state of neurosis, as UG somewhere points out quite sarcastically.

Download/Access this Booklet [PDF]:
This beautiful handy booklet* contains two articles in Parveen Babi’s own words. Thanks to Madhusudhana Rao D., the PDF versions of the same are made available here for easy access and download:
(1) Parveen Babi’s Confessions [PDF]
(2) Parveen Babi on UG [PDF]

Some rare excerpts in Paveen Babi’s own words on her encounter with UG and her life trauma that also appeared in the then Illustrated Weekly of India in 1980s and more may be explored on the following link:

Living is Instant, Believing is Distant

Death is not the opposite of life, it is belief that is the very opposite and negation of life. The flow of life is always notwithstanding our knowing or not knowing. We kill our life in our beliefs and knowledge bundles.

We exhaust more and most of our years in knowing and believing, and least or never in ‘living our life’. The crescendo of living our life always lies in transcending and traversing beyond our attempted knowing or believing. Knowingly or unknowingly we postpone our life in our attempts to accumulate borrowed knowing or believing. Life in its full penetration and expression is always irrespective of and beyond our borrowed knowledge, experiences or beliefs.

Not that we don’t want knowledge and belief, but our life strives straight without even a small connection on our borrowed and accumulated knowledge and or belief. We do necessarily need know-how, certain belief in our mundane, routine world of utility and worldly survival. But the revival and living of our life force is always spontaneous, instant, and now. It doesn’t have even the tiniest taint of our borrowed knowledge or belief.

This existence moves, lives and functions with all thriving force and precision, not because there are scholarly dictionaries or encyclopaedias or accumulated data banks. For our manufactured or established utility world, we do need knowledge banks and beliefs. But the existence is the very instant non-split living paradigm of instant spontaneous wisdoms and actions. We can never copy or store it. Only dead things and corpses are stored or preserved. Living force and life as it is always transcends everything at one stroke or swing.

A vibrant morning mist there; birds are chirping with all actions; budding flowers shedding their fragrance amidst the whispering whistles of cool blowing breezes; tiny growing transparent green leaves and plants penetrating the lights there; withering falling floating expired dry leaves; flowing water and river; remote yet connected mountains and floating clouds up in the skies – are these not the wonders of wonders to our virgin naked eyes?

Yes, living is instant, believing is distant.

Count on Essence, and Discount all Peripherals

Don’t glorify the skins of the mango, but just peel out the skin, enter in and eat the pulp of the fruit. More often we live and fight fanatically for the territory of covers and peripheral things. Thereby we shut the door and remain dumb and blind to the gist of essence and essential things of life.

Essence is the seed; peripheral things are just the erratic or random expansion and expression of the essence. When we operate from the essence, our peripheral things too gain meaning and relation. But when we forgo the essence and tend to play merely with peripheral things blindly, we are bound to uproot the essence and life force.

Fanaticisms, parochialism, discrimination, false fight for supremacy are all rooted and rampant in our peripheral living. As long as our senses only can sense the peripheral things and can not sense the essence, we lead a deprived miserable life, a false life, a fanatic life. That is what we see around us. We claim supremacy of our own borrowed religion and sermons. As long as we dare not enter the essence, we blindly cling to the words, morals, scriptures, books, rituals just like a baby monkey so that we fall not. When we see the essence, when we see the ‘actual’, there is absolutely no place for the ritual, blind sermons and scriptures.

Not only in the name of religions, but in almost all domains of our daily life we find there a rampant peripheral style of living. Political ideologies, philosophical schools of thoughts, moral and ethical schools tend to move abundantly on a peripheral track; somewhere they go off the root of essence and living life force.

The essence and essential things of life are one and the same existentially and universally. Our thinkers, seers, religionists, scientists and all are just making their own attempt to express the same. But the paradox is that this essence transcends all the expressed expressions and it is most catastrophic to cling to the expressed expressions.

Essence is the centre of life. The whole circle out there around the point of the centre is the periphery. From the centre point we will have the whole spectrum of the view, we have everything and the whole world is ours. But if we forsake the centre and sit on a point of periphery, we will have only that patch of the periphery territory and we miss the whole lot of the rest of bigger world.

When one enters into the essence, one starts seeing even the opposites as related and complemented.

Scrap those Crap Psychologists and Psychiatrists

There is no second thought that the contribution of our psychologists and thinkers in their devout attempt to understand the life and behaviour of the humanity is great – whether it is Sigmund Freud’s (‘Sick Mind Fraud’) Psychoanalysis (‘sexoanalysis’) or Pavlov’s Conditioned Learning (‘dog’s saliva’) or Positive (‘pose’) Psychology or Existential (‘extinct’) Psychology or in terms many (e)merging current innovative psychological thinking (‘stinking’) theories. But all great things are not necessarily great when the paradigm of the flow of our life and existence is focussed in its totality – no one can stand there. Life is always beyond these defined theories and boundaries of ‘Psychology’. ‘Psychology’ can never touch LIFE. Our psychologists and psychotherapists are dangerously playing with the ‘lives’ of the humanity.

This great army of bookish, hawkish, rhetoric, repetitive and robotic psychologists in the name of ‘healing’ is always harming and fooling the life force and the humanity at large. Our outer psychologists and psychiatrists are so programmed and trained that they can never touch the subtle petals or layers of life - they are there profoundly programmed and stuck to play with the grosser layers of the lives of the people. Today the so called ‘psychology and psychiatry sermon-like junks’ are so much pumped in our daily life style that even a common man has forgotten to know that he has a biology and body there! It’s a dangerous situation there. First thing first – the simplest reality is that we are biology and body imbibing with tremendous force of intelligence and sensibility. Our body and biology are so unique that they never need to learn the so called ‘junk psychology’ from the mouths of psychologists and psychiatrists – it’s an insult and assault to our body force and life. Even the so called Biological Psychology floated by the psychologists, would tend to study the human beings in a robotic and so called scientific ‘lab rat’ way.

It may appear that our psychologists and psychotherapists are playing a very vital role in the maimed world there, but it is not so when conceived from a larger perspective of our life force and existence.

Today our psychology and psychiatry industries are so well founded and established that we can never escape from their iron clutches and claws. On the sidelines it is construed that the ‘psychology elements/ evils’ are in great demand by the politicians, the priests and the commercial establishments to tame and maim the minds of the people, in the larger run of harvesting the ‘vested/ twisted interest’.

We understand, U.G. Krishnamurti was very vocal, vociferous and aggressively inimical in rejecting this so called ivory tower ‘psychology stuff’ forced on the life. We do need a rethinking, just not to be carried away by many ‘profound junks’ that are unintentionally or otherwise floated on our life.

Our small dissenting voice here may appear amusing and abusing. But many similar voices are already there - things are bound to emerge. Randomly one or two links are given below in support of this singular minority view:

Why Psychiatry has Failed?
Dr. Tana Dineen: a renegade psychologist

Wisdom Stored is Wisdom Frozen

Wisdom stored is as good as a frozen body out there devoid of life. No plastic flower is a substitute for a vibrant live flower. The dynamism of life force is that it flows, revives, renews on its own in an ever emerging spectrum of new moments and spontaneous actions. No two moments are the same. Birth and death are happening every moment. One emerged moment is purged only to give way to a next emerging moment. Life force traverses and transcends on the wheels of moments. Life is always now, here, and nowhere. That’s the way of life. That’s the way this existential world moves and lives. No imparted knowledge or wisdoms, no preached enlightenments or sermons, no founded religions or scriptures are of any relevance there. When considered in the light of this move of the life force, by their very nature all our so called stored religions and scriptures, knowledge and such devised systems can only remain good enough to produce defined second hand humans, robotic might and utility society. Not wrong with that and that’s the way the utilitarian world is run and ruled.

In fact our very over-obsession with the borrowed knowledge, borrowed experiences and wisdoms would tend to create a rock like stumbling block in us, perfectly preventing us from ‘seeing’ the very face of this existential life force; perfectly preventing us from ‘living’ in the very flow of this life force.

Our so called good citizens of the society are not necessarily the good citizens of the life force. Our good citizens of the society and culture are cultivated. On the contrary good citizens of the life force are less cultivated and more facilitated. Our stored and borrowed truths and sermons are just can only be as good as dead and they can never touch the life force. The dynamism of the life force is in the spontaneous wisdom that arises in our here and now life-affirmed actions.

Religions: Godly Garbages

We are sorry, if we are hurting the religious sentiments there. The other side of the hidden roaring reality is always there smiling at us. No veils or evils can seal it for that is the only living force.

Religions are just a bunch of dead relics and bones worth for a big bonfire there in celebration of our life and humanity here and now. More violence and wars are waged in the name of religions and blind faiths. Religions and regulations are there only to tame and contain the stray dogs and stray people in the name of civilized society and culture. The anchors of religions and regulations are in the unholy hands of priests and politicians. The societies and masses are framed that way. It may serve the utilitarian purpose and agenda and nothing more than that.

But the paradox is that this existence and life force neither knows what all these religions and regulations are about, nor it cares those chains and checks. Our life is an ever living, reviving, renewing dynamic force; all the past sermons, scriptures, wisdoms, religions, prophets, saviours, messiahs and all such things are just ‘dead corpses’ before our life force and flow. Such is the beauty and dynamism of this life force and existence.

Life is never in the dead pages of the religious relics and books. The whole world may glorify and sanctify the so called holy books of religions and sermons. But that is just an act not less than that of a suicide venture and an explicit insult to the life force. It keeps the humanity buried in the chunk of dead debris or godly garbages eternally. It shuts the door to see oneself in an here and now flow. In the paradigm of this existence and life force, there are fewer things to learn and more things to unlearn.

All the so called hypes and sermons that are not in our very living life force are a farce of biggest calamity and misery on this earth. A small thing that is alive in our life force is more real and flowering than a mountain of holy dead debris buried out there.

Can’t we read our own LIFE here, instead of escaping and reading the dead printed, perverted, churned out books or relics out there to find solutions for our false salvations? Escape or live life, choice is ours.

Life is Here and Now

 

Life may be anything, but never our logics and calculations. Our religionists and spiritualists, scientists and social thinkers are exploring life in their own ways. But still by and large our life is quite elusive and evasive. This existence is functioning on a saga of infinite dimension. At the end of the day our answer is: ‘surrender and wonder’, for we don’t know anything for sure in this paradigm of existence. Whatever the humanity has explored so far is just a ‘compromise’: our utility world to live together without much harm and violence. We have explored things and made our life more comfortable and more civilized and lawful and with that we have added a good chunk of misery too - an inevitable inheritance.

 

In this context, whatever we say or share is never can be an absolute truth. All the wisdoms and gospel truths we share and shout may at the most be a relative truth, a contextual truth. May be true in a context, may be a hint or guide in a context, not necessarily true in a different or all contexts. Life is like that. It’s an EVER FLOWING FORCE.  Each moment and context is unique and different. Whatever told and defined by us or others in the past is in the context of those moments, we can never define the moments yet to come, nor can we define and confine this moment with the definition of dead and past definitions. Each moment of life is new and unique. Each moment of life is a NEW DEFINITION. Safe to say LIFE IS HERE AND NOW. Even if you try to search for the here and now: you are bound to miss the very next moment. This is the mystery of life. It’s simply a collateral blunder as good as death to live either in past or in future for LIFE IS ALWAYS HERE AND NOW. If we are ‘here and now’ totally, we need not feel afraid of dead ‘here-before’ or yet to occur ‘here-after’. Our ‘here and now’ is enough to answer our so called existing or non-existing ‘here-before’ as well as ‘here-after’ life. It answers our ‘death’ too. Yes, life is here and now.

A Philosopher’s Symmetry and Poetry

I preach philosphy to the people
For philosophy alone is my breath and truth
I show them the right and bright path
I preach and make them reach a new height.

But at the end of the day
In the hard night, it’s the sight
Of a remote girl’s breasts and buttocks
That takes me to a new real delight!

Meditation is to Float and not to Fight

The more we try to define ‘meditation’, the more we miss it and tend to confine ourselves. The moment you define it, it’s not meditation but dead. Using ‘meditation’ as a tool for some holy goal is the very ‘negation’ of meditation. Meditation never falls in our mudane world of ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’. Even what our market ‘Gurus’ are telling about ‘meditation’ is not ‘meditation’, but that’s the perfect way to undo ‘meditation’. Such is the evading paradigm of ‘meditation’. All the so called ’sutras’, ‘techniques’, ‘patented packages’ are at the most the dead debris of murdered meditation.

Meditation is not action, but at the same time it’s not inaction. Meditation is not mere ’silence’, but an ever emerging dynamic silence. Meditation is acceptance of LIFE in totality. Meditation is surrender to LIFE.

Spinning rules and tools in the name of meditation is the very mockery of ‘meditation’. Meditation shuns everything that our mediocre mind proclaims, yet meditation is ‘all-inclusive’. Meditation is not ritual. Meditation is the very being of LIFE. Your shitting may turn to be a ‘meditation’, but your holy chanting may miss and kill the meditation. Then what is meditation?  We know, but the moment we put into words, it’s dead. It’s something like ‘immediation’, never the ‘mediation’. There are no walls between your LIFE and your Self. Meditation is simply seeing things ‘as it is’, rather than ‘as it should be’.

Meditation is not concerned with our so called proud intellectual understading or knowledge or experiences. Meditation is more to ‘melt’, and less to ‘act’. Meditation is pro LIFE, it may give new enhanced dimensions to our LIFE.

But all said and done, still we dont know what is meditation and that alone is meditation! Friends, let us explore and relate ’meditation’ to our LIFE. Please do participate and share your words, eventhogh our words fail to ’see’ it!
