Anything half-baked is useless

Anything rushed is annoying.

It can be taken to your office for daily household chores.

In the era of everything instant, we have become more and more impatient.

Hungry for instant gratification.

We need everything at our fingertips and operate the world at the press of a button.

Revolution with an evolution.

But anything half-baked is useless.

You can’t eat half-cooked food or a half-built bridge.

Life has its course and there is beauty in watching it grow.

A seedling can not bear fruit in a day.

To procreate and duplicate itself it has to go through a process.

The process is called growth.

The more you nurture this process, the more sweeter the fruit is.

Mature.

But we are in a hurry. Result-oriented, ambitious.

So much so that we mix our emotions with the work.

We have lost a sense of detachment from what is happening in our personal and professional lives.

We are brutally dragging our work to home, and home to our offices.

Intelligence is mixed with emotions is impure intelligence.

Malignant. Malevolent.

This is the very root cause of stress and anxiety today.

We don’t know where to apply emotions and where to use intelligence.

Messed up fucked up life.

But there has to be a way to keep it simple.

It is natural to grow, and everybody should strive to do so.

I always encourage you to participate, rather than keep life and its joy to yourself.

Life is beautiful when shared.

But it becomes ugly when you force.

When you force others to participate in your stupidity involuntarily.

When you are forced to yield results day in and day out in the corporate grind.

When you force someone to believe in what you think.

And you want it as soon as possible.

Because somewhere deep down you also know that the zest and the enthusiasm you have about something is temporary.

You want people to believe in your momentary spasm before it loses its lustre.

This is the very cause people have become impatient.

Every person has his own pace.

And not all of us are moving towards the same goal either.

We have different priorities, fond of different things.

That is what makes us human. And that is what makes it difficult to understand each other.

Language would have not existed if we were the same.

If we could think and act in the same manner what is the use of the language?

The very function of language is to communicate the differences.

In opinions about the things we are fond of and the things we dislike.

A tyrant needs harsh language because he strongly disagrees with everybody.

It’s not a coincidence that every tyrant in the world has found a miserable fate at the end of his reign and the end of his life.

But the real connection happens when you are silent.

Silence is a testament to your virtue.

And to be silent you need to have patience.

You can’t shout to get things done. You can’t hurry things in your life.

Silence teaches you to be patient and be with yourself at your own pace.

You connect with yourself first and then see the world as an extension of yourself.

The self that is seen is reflected in whatever you do.

You very nature.

∗ ∗ ∗

With patience, you become more welcoming and less inviting.

You as so engrossed in your work that the world wonders what on earth is he so much in love with.

Out of curiosity the world around you starts growing interest in you.

Be interested in yourself and the world will be interested in you.

Because if you are interested in yourself, you become your world.

Then the mind does not mix emotions with intelligence.

You no longer become calculative about your relationships and emotional about your work.

Life becomes more than fitting into the conventional frames of education marriage and children

It becomes more about living in the present.

Patience can bring so much change.

Imagine a life in which everything is happening on its own only because you have given up on the thought of rushing things.

Fast tracks are made for horses in the race. Human consciousness sprouts like a seed and blossoms like a flower.

You won’t see anything happen overnight, but life changes in a lifetime.

∗ ∗ ∗

Don’t try to live all your life in a day.

Give this life some time alone.

Away from the conditioning of the family and society.

Just like the seed spends its early days in the dark. Patiently.

The sun will always be shining, once you are ready.

The rain will pour happiness on you, once you are ready.

A premature birth is dangerous. Similarly predicting the future before it is born always goes in vain.

You don’t live to the present and living in the future is impossible.

You don’t live.

Be where you are and appreciate the beauty of it.

If you are in trouble see yourself facing the trouble.

If you are celebrating, see yourself as a bundle of joy and happiness.

Be yourself and everything else will fall into its place.

Don’t wait for anybody else and don’t live for anybody else.

∗ ∗ ∗

Just by being yourself, you become a light for others.

Just by being yourself, you are in service to others.

Like a tree never care for the world. It finds water and grows.

Yet it gives to the world. The shadow, the fruits and oxygen.

Don’t think, act and be so busy in the act that you forget about the action and become the act itself.

Benevolent.

The need to rush things will collapse as you fall in love with yourself and see the beauty of the current moment unfolding itself in front of you.

You will no longer need to be patient and patience will become your nature.

What is there to rush if the mind is not running towards the future constantly?

Nothing to worry about, be carefree.

∗ ∗ ∗

You are the change the world is looking for. Be the change in this world.

Change that is changing at its own pace.

Your very being will set things in motion around you.

The chaos will turn into spontaneity and disorder into order.

Natural, unfabricated.

Real and not an idea of reality.

With patience, fear turns into courage, Force into persistence.

Patience brings perseverence.

Allow yourself time to grow. Deeper.
