Antibuddha

We have Buddha poornima coming up next month.

Buddha says: When you keep removing sickness and what remains thereafter is health. When you keep removing darkness and what remains thereafter is light.

I say: Get busy creating good health and you won't have to bother about sickness. Get busy generating light and you won't have time to think about darkness.

One way is to keep removing negativity until the moment no negativity is left. Another way is to generate positivity and forget everything else.

One way to get the sense of achievement is the feeling that I have contributed some goodness or to the improvement. But how is that possible? Even if 1000 evil spirits are removed, millions are still waiting. Instead, why not add 1000 virtuous spirits in the universe, because millions are waiting for you in this case as well. Which scenario is more fascinating or convincing? Also, mathematically, removing evil is an arithmetic progression whereas creating virtue is an exponential progression, just like the division of cells or the nuclear fission. Think about this - If you look at the glass half full/ half empty, what would you say if you want to make its contents reach up to its rim? Remove emptiness of the glass or fill the glass? Isn't it obvious to contribute towards betterment?

What's the point of analyzing whether the glass is half full of half empty? Staring at it makes no sense. What do you say? Go for it! Do what you know you should do. Live! Bruce lee says in the movie 'Enter the Dragon', "Don't think, feel. It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all that heavenly glory." Better you either drink the glass completely or fill it full. Rather than spending days, better we live a life worth remembering. Rather than being worried about problems, better we create opportunities. Work till the point there is no energy left and you fall asleep as soon as you hit the bed. One of the best ways to live full is to empty ourselves before every night. Life begins with a thought.

With our thoughts we make our world.
