Is Life and Living the same?

-
Living is a survival instinct. Whatever we do in order to survive falls under this category. 
For instance: Attending office to earn our bread.

 Throughout our life, we try satisfying our insecurity of survival. Even animals do the same. Then how are we humans different from animals, in any way?

 Humans are gifted with Intelligence. This separates us from animals. However, we have not used this weapon at all. Intelligence does not relate to the so-called intelligent people. In this world, we have incorrectly interpreted  all definitions. Intelligence in today's world is 'to perform better than the other'.
This conclusion of the world, revolves around living or survival. If this is the definition of intelligence then even animals who are better hunters than the other, are intelligent!
Thus, true intelligence can never be used or defined by the material world.
Intelligence is the language of the divine. This drives us to pursue the life beyond living, our true life. We have been living since lifetimes together, but now, we must become conscious.This paves the way for LIFE.

 Life cannot be experienced with continuing our 'unconscious' living as it is a result of 'conscious' living.
Just as happiness cannot be experience while in sorrow, life is supreme joy which cannot be experience while living which is the repository of fear and misery.

Hope and Positivity

This might seem contradicting to many, but the fact is that practicing positivity is not as beneficial as you think. It is a form of ignorance. Because, positivity involves the mind, it can never be positive. Remember, any act involving the mind is negative. Practices that help dewiring the mind is positive. Such practices abate the wandering of the mind. The movement of the mind is always flimsy and not unidirectional, so are hopes. We hope not one thing, not once, but many things and many times! So, we have desires sprouting from hopes and senses to achieve them. This is ignorance. Anything done unconsciously is ignorance. Because we are not aware of this cyclic trend of hope transforming into desire then act. These activities generally yield negative results. This causes disturbance, again compelling us to unconsciously accept hope. Now, we hope again, but to get rid of negativity. We hope positivity. This is ignorance of the highest kind as we dream and try to pacify our

Glories of 'Knowledge'

Knowledge is not heritable. It is not an asset, thus cannot be possessed. It is not available in books which can simply be acquired through mere reading. We must understand the nature of 'knowledge' first. Knowledge is the source of existence. The very idea of distinguishing one from other that streams from our thoughts is the result of enough churning of knowledge. It is the possibility to grasp reality, an aid for us humans to get a glimpse of the ultimate truth. It is the repository of truth and hence is beyond conception. This is not mere glorification of 'knowledge', but just a mere introduction of it. When man is an infant he cannot understand the difference between fire and water, until experienced or taught. The memory of an experience, retained to understand or delve into the subject is the dawn of knowledge. Only knowledge makes possible to retain the useful and let go the unwanted clutter of the mind. It is the benefactor of a composed mind and leads

Why do I feel cheated?

It may seem a nightmare when you realize that the your loved ones are no more the same. It may be either your friend, spouse, children or other relatives. Your confidence in them has drastically reduced. Why now, today your loved ones seem alien to you? The answer may be vague, perhaps a mix of emotions. Any change we perceive in the world is a result of the mental makeup of oneself and the other. Your interaction with your loved ones was determined on the basis of your mental framework which may be contrasting to your present mental framework. We find ourselves in a dilemma when things don't workout the way we expect it to be. Nothing seems to work. Our confidence is battered every time we try to rebuild it. Emotions of faith in the other, trust, love, sympathy, etc are all temporary as the mental framework of our mind is clutched in the wheel of time, which spins without break. These emotions can be replaced with their opposites with changing time! Our mind carries the
