It has been late than usual, my body is tired, my eyes want some rest and my mind is willing to take some and its cold and I have got cold. I have been busy for some time now. I don’t know what I was up to neither can I reason the unreasoned. Quite many creations, imaginations and thoughts were summing up in my head for a long time nevertheless, I couldn’t write. I am not sure what the reasons were or are or will be. Finally, after a long time, I have found a good reason to write, trying to make you feel, experience and inspire a little.
I am seeing this stranger, average height, average looking who coincidentally wears black every time I meet him but someone who can be wronged as a person who takes drugs or he might be taking as I don’t know for he is a complete stranger. I am so amazed in the ways and situations we meet up.
And here is another thought that is killing me for ages is with this: We eat something and drink something which goes from mouth, reaches abdomen/stomach and finally ends up as shits and urines. Everything is clean until it comes out from the bottom part of our body and why we won’t, after all they end up being something smelly, untouchable and rubbish to us.
Now, now how many of you noticed my constant usage of I in the first paragraph. I was constantly using how I feel as a person but Eckhart Tolle has said that’s not me, that’s ego in me that’s doing and capable of doing both the thinking and talking. He is of course not my friend if you guys don’t know him; he is a well known spiritual writer famous for his book The Power of Now. I didn’t read it but I have been fortunate enough to read his second book A New World and it is a power package that may change you little or less than little but it sure will make an impression on you.
Why do you think the stranger ends up being seen by me alone and more than twice or thrice? The unanswered is yet again answered by him. First of all it is my ego secondly it is because I have been carrying him and his thoughts every time, everywhere in my mind which is my ego according to Tolle's word. That’s how he is seen.
Did you by any chance give a second thought to what my third paragraph said or did you feel like it is rather a common sense. Did you get to think why food is clean and eatable and shit is shit? Why shit is shit? Why shit isn’t food? Because that’s what word has influenced us well over centuries less in some and little more with others. Naming someone and something had been another source ego has developed, is developing and will be developing. It has created a mind set for what is good and bad, what are shoulds and shouldn’ts and needs or wants. All will get explained through his simple writing but intertwined intelligence.
Why relationship falls apart, why unhappiness comes by unaware while everything seemed to be good going and happy? So many questions will get answered. You’ll get almost all answer to your unanswered questions. It is an amalgamation concept taken from Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism. In short, it’s a spiritual book meant for everyone, young, adults and elderly, poor, rich, new and old. And as it says in elaboration, A New World -Awakening to your life purpose it talks and says more in whole 309 pages of its contents. This post is supposed to be a book review of A New World. I know it is nothing close to a review, leave it, its not a review from any points and angles but the reason I don’t want it to be like that is easy. I want you to feel and change a little by reading it yourself.
For me, it was a big shift towards change. I don’t prefer myself to be called ‘got changed or moved’ rather it provided me a huge sense of relief. I found answer to why I am the way I am. Every words, phrases and lines he has written, makes me want to read them again. I don’t own a copy of it right now but am planning to buy one for myself for further and future reading. Guys, all of you need to go through this book once. It might bring bigger change in and within you. Best of Luck!
