In the cosmos, only 5% things are absolute, rest is all relative। Life we live, emotions we feel, actions we do, love we give- all is relative। Or should I say an illusion….
Safely, 5% include what we call – sun, moon, stars, water, trees but how we interpret them is all relative. The significance attached to each being or its form is our interpretation of the world, perceived by us. What is observed by us needn’t be a reality and is not!
We spend a lifetime complaining and having grudges in relationships or against people but do those people actually exist? And if they do, aren’t all our connections virtual with them with probably just an iota of reality!?! And then do we exist?
Who am I? What is my identity? My name, my occupation, my job, my family………. Superficially, yes! But on introspecting, we realise the Gita Saar: “what did we bring with us that is lost? We did not bring anything, whatever we have, received from here and whatever we have given, given from here”. So nothing is ours and we don’t belong to anything...
Even the statement above is an example of a reality which is relative! I might believe in this and you might not! What is reality for you could be just a statement of no relevance for me or others around.
I compare this reality process to the various levels of relationship- passers- by, acquaintances, colleagues/classmates, friends, best buddies... something that I care a damn about or can’t even think to consider as REAL, falls into a passers- by category, they might wish to seek my attention, but I just walk past them. I might listen to a few things which is the reality for people around but I don’t let them settle in my mind since it just doesn’t CLICK, they are the acquaintances of my reality. The newspapers and the magazines and obviously, my latest best friend, internet ;-), are my classmates, I spend a lot of time with them, I filter the information received in my mind and then decide if I wish to view it at a later stage or not. They might represent reality for the masses but might not be enough to transform and make me discover the path I am SUPPOSE to follow but with classmates/ colleagues, I am ready to experiment!
My everyday experiences are my friends as they shape my reality and my opinions about life in general, friends, people, politics etc etc. I am who they are. That is the reality of my life which is so different from yours, his and everybody else’s. And hence, it is relative…
Ah! My best friends… my belief system and values, my core as I love calling, this is what MY REALITY IS! My reaction to people, my decisions I have taken and reached at this stage of life, above all; my ability (and the time taken!) to bounce back to life after a BIG challenge etc etc…
Truth for me could be deceiving for you, an illusion of someone loving you is enough for a soul to live its’ life but far from reality of living a complete life…
For me, what I think is what becomes real and NOT what is real is what I tend to think… this is MY RELATIVE REALITY, might not match yours…
