Recognizing Beauty


Today morning, I was selecting a shirt to wear for office. The first one, I observed wrinkles, and another one also having wrinkles but lesser. It was getting late, so less time to further explore the wardrobe. I wore one of them and got ready.

On my way to office, this little incidence struck my mind and took me to an understanding which all of us have but…we understand and accept it per our convenience.

 

The new looks and re-experience…

Just look back towards our childhood and, the thought process of our elders which we all have inherited.

Wearing torn/ragged clothes was a taboo; symbol of being financially poor, and even inauspicious. Combed hair was only right way to groom. Coloring of hair was only thing of masking age. Huts and mud houses were the residence of poor/villagers…and many more things.

We are witnessing since many years, the fashion statements are changing. The ragged jeans are costly. The wrinkled casual wears are preference. The different hair styles which are not properly combed; interior designing of hotels and theme resorts giving feel of village or countryside.

We see, people creating pieces of art from the waste products thus recognizing beauty in what is considered useless.

Acceptance of certain jobs as career which were considered as low status jobs like, an MBA is working in a retail chain and talking about the price of potato to a customer, hair cut is no more a low status job, rather a chain of lavish saloons is seen to be a symbol of success in career and, aspires many.

An old job of a tailor has now become a sparkling career for many as boutique owners or fashion designers.

What does it suggest?

Beauty is in every particle. Only our perception categorizes it beautiful or ugly. The ethos is getting more liberal. The inter-caste and inter-religion marriages are no more taboo in urban areas for many… (Still a challenge in rural areas …).

Even ragged looks is recognized as beauty. It is all we are recognizing through our physical realities.

The Challenge…

Challenge is…we recognize it as per our convenience. I may appreciate certain looks when I see in others but may get mad if I see my wife/child in same looks.

 

What does it conclude?

Energies are changing thus, our perceptions. The thoughts of previous times are transforming and thus newer perceptions are forming gradually. As our thoughts will transform, our acceptance and recognition of the eternal beauty lying in each and everything, will come to our understanding.

As these transformations will impact our journey, we will recognize, beauty or ugliness, likes or dislikes, love or hate...are only perceptions in a given slot of time we have chosen to live in. At the end of the day, everything is only a creation with no tags attached to it, and only presented to us for our acceptance of all our realities unconditionally, understanding the core of ourselves, that is, the unconditional love.


Have a transforming week ahead…

Baby Steps...

How often do we notice the way we treat ourselves in every moment? Do we need to revisit our relationship with ourselves? These   thoughts   were revealed to me in     “self healing” session.                 Few weeks back, I was healing my most knotty issue which is related to my career.   My friends know about the step I took few years back regarding my career and surprised everyone. The good part was, my entire family did not question for a single time on my next move as if everybody was so confident about my thoughts and skills. Three years have passed and I am heading on the path I chose with full determination though the road is rough and tough. As a human, I am also having emotions which often pull me down. I feel sometimes that I am blocked . Even though I am having skills but, not applying it in optimum way or, let’s say the minimum required quantum of work is missing. This self analysis burdens me with a heavy weight of guilt on my heart and numbs me. I

Misconceptions in Astrology: MANGLIK DOSHA

As an astro counsellor, generally I hear some quotes from the people about certain yogas (planetary combinations) and planets, which are percieved to be dangerous and, even life threatening. Examples: Manglik dos h a (a combination formed by the placement of Mars [Mangal] in the natal chart). It is believed that, it can create havoc in the married life of a person. Shani (Saturn) is refered as a dangerous planet by the common people and even most of the astrologers. Shani's mahadasa, Shani 's sade-saati, Shani Dhayiya etc are the terms which rob the night's sleep of a person once told about them. Rahu-Ketu are the planets which also fall in the same catagory of creating terror in the mind of a common man. Birth in Moola nakshtra is another hyped yoga about it's inauspiciousness. This list is long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this article, I am

You forget yourself

Have we ever thought that, our own success can teach us principles of being successful? Read this article... SUCCESS is a buzz word in today's fast track world. We are running since morning till night in search of success. Lot of pages have been written on this most important ingredient of our self esteem. Lot many philosophies and ideologies revolve round this but, the truth is, success is having different definitions for all of us in different situations of our life. I read a book recently where the writer pointed out the important point; We succeed in every moment . Even rising live in the morning and getting to bed again after facing the entire day is the success. So, success is not having a fixed definition. It varies. In childhood, getting that win in street game was the success and, scoring first division in class tenth got to another level of success. Getting a good job, married to a loving partner, starting a family and...th
