Do you have balance in life?

A couple of days ago, I was talking to my friend, she asked me what did you eat today? I said, I was feeling that I should eat some “Pakora” with beer, hence I enjoyed that food today. She heard and did not like my eating habits, you eat a lot of ‘oily”, junk food and sweets very often, she said in a complain way.

In reality, I don’t eat junk food everyday, but I am not very fanatic about diet also, apparently, I do regular exercise and believe, we should enjoy the tasty food someday, whether it’s healthy or not. That moment, I did not say anything and shook my head in the approval, in fact, she was right about my unhealthy diet. Apparently, I was not willing to give up so easily and just sake of an argument I said, I love to eat and time to time we should eat whatever we want to eat, regardless it’s nutritional value. She did not agree with me and refused to accept my argument. I didn’t stretch the argument and we forget about this topic.

One day, she mentioned to me that, why human is so greedy that whole life he wasted to chase for the wealth and money and in the end everything left behind him. He just kept the things in his possession, but never enjoyed them? She was right and there was no reason to disagree with this statement.

While doing this conversation, I remembered our old discussion about health and strict diets. I asked that day you were telling me, we should maintain our health and follow the strict diet to keep our self healthy. She said yes, so what’s wrong with this?

I was about to laugh, but hold my thought, when chasing for the wealthy is wrong, then how come chasing for the health is good?

If today, I suppressed my desires for eating and keep doing this for a long time, this will result, I will be living like a helpless person who can’t eat even though he can afford anything. In the end I will die one day than what god will say to me?

Why I gave you so much, when you were not willing to consume? You wasted all the pleasures, I gave it to you.

She thought for a while, but did not agree with me and make fun  of it. Man, do whatever you want to do, this is your health not mine, she said in a reluctant way.

I thought about this a lot, more I think, I got confused. Where is the dividing line, which can say this is the optimum limit. How will you justify that, saving for the future is wrong versus keeping yourself healthy or spending the money for pleasure versus enjoying  a good meal time to time.

When someone work hard and make so much money, but did not spend on himself, just keep that in the locker or bank then same applied to the body, someone work very hard or live a very disciplined life, if he doesn’t get a pleasure of eating then what is the point of this workout?

I am not suggesting here that you should eat junk every day or consumed so much that you're putting  fat on your body. The idea of telling is this life should be in a balance.

If we earned so much money, we should spend some of  on ourself rather than just saving it in an account and transferred to the next generation. In another contrast, when we are keeping our self healthier with controlled diet and regular exercise than we should enjoy the food, whether it’s a little bit unhealthy though rather than die one day with unfulfilled desired.

We should enjoy the food, whatever we like whether It could be a junk food like sweets, cake, pizza or a hard drink or a smoke. Some people can argue about this that some kind of liquor or smoking his bad for health. I agree with this, but it’s a personal choice of an enjoyment. May be I preferred to eat sweets or someone enjoy a cigarette or a beer or wine. Consumption of anything in excess amount is bad whether it’s a junk food or drink or smoking.

If you suppressed your desire for a long time, it will be very unhealthy in the long run even though you were on a strict diet and doing regular exercise.

Be aware, if you don’t do any exercise or not keeping a check on the diet than you don’t deserve for any junk food or drink or smoking pleasure. My slogan is.

First, you have to earn then you can burn.

Same applied for the money, if someone doesn’t make enough money to compensate for his expenses than how come he can spend for a long time without stuck in a whirl of debt.

At last, we have to make a balance in our life, whether it’s a health or wealth.

Work hard to make a lot of money and do regular exercise to keep yourself fit, same time enjoy the luxury & pleasure provided with money and health to you..

End of the day all the possessions of wealth will be left behind and this body will disappear in the dust of this universe.

The Deep Meditation or lost in the Transition or Seizure?

As all we know that  exercise is beneficial for the health, agreed, nevertheless, how much exercise is right for an individual, do we know this? I am sure most of you  say “Yaa” or “Naa” or will say depends upon an individual.In a nutshell, It all depends upon person to person, a 30 minute workout may be good enough for someone and may be too less or too much for another person considering their health , habit and food.

As we know that the universe has kept everything in a balance, if we intake something in exchange we have to emit other things, for example, if we take the medicines to cure  diseases, in exchange, it causes some side effects. Some time deficiency or excess of something leads to a risk rather than an advantage, for example, too much protein can damage the kidneys or too less protein can cause a disease.

Similarly, if we don’t do any exercise that will make us lethargic, lazy and fat, but  in another contrast too much exercise may cause other problems such as  muscle cramp, injuries and ligament failure, etc. The idea of telling all of this is that we have to maintain a  balance for any activity or intake and should  do on the  bases of health & stamina.

But, what about too much meditation or being spiritual? What side effects they can produce? It sounds a little strange to say that, but, I am sure either we don’t know about it or have not thought to go into the details.

As per science, first rule of this universe is, matter & energy can’t be created or destroyed, only things transformed from one form to another. As we know, the human body is made of five elements as fire, air, water, earth and sky. When someone dies, all the things go back to these five elements in their respected proportions.

Likewise, when we pull out too much push from the universe in the sort of meditation than its side effects reflect. Before, I will explain about this, let me distinguish you about a real time story of my childhood.

When I was a kid, in one  afternoon, I saw that my grandma’s behavior was very unusual. I was very shocked and surprised to watch her doing such deeds. She was experiencing some type of seizures, my childish brain  had no estimation, what possibly could happen to her? I had only seen this kind of act performed by some “mad” person  in the movies. She was waving her head here and there and shouting like anything. My mom and aunties were trying to calm her down by saying,  “whatever you say, we will do accordingly”.

Later on, I came to know that she got some kind of seizures. And reason to cause of this incident was that my uncles had used really rough words to her earlier in the intermission of the daytime. Actually, what happened, that day in the morning my grandma went to some chanting place and when she came back it was little late for the lunch and not only that she came very late, she also donated some money to the chanting group.

When my uncles came to know about this, they were very upset, they never liked that she had to attend such type of chanting group. They said some harsh words to the group and scold her as well. That time she did not pronounce anything, however, in the middle of the afternoon, she locked herself in the worship room and after that this incident took place.

I had nearly forgotten this incident out of my memory, notwithstanding, one day when I was reading a blog about “kundalini Seizures” this incident  came back to live in my storage.

I spilled the beans to my doctor friend about this phenomenon and called for her, why most of the time only women get the Seizures? She explained to me that there are a couple of reasons, it could be emotional, personal and mental. In medical science, there is no full proof reason about any physical deficiency or inability in a human body of this type of disease. It has been seen that due to some personal reasons, women pretend to be sick and try to get an attention in the home  from their family members as they pretend to have some fake seizures.

Technically, If you are not suffering from the diseases of epilepsy otherwise in most of the cases, having seizures has been just  like  a pure “Drama Queen Situation”.

I did not argue about her explanations, however, something was not very clear to me. If there is a real situation that someone really getting seizures and suffering from it, then how the patient will explain to the doctor?

In the medical science, yet we don’t know very well about  the reason of it  and  have no way to predict about the happening of a seizure. As per the medical science, doctors think, it could possibly due to lack of oxygen in brain cells or some brain injuries at the time of birth etc..

I read myself some medical journals, but did not get a very clear understanding of their causes. What I learned through the journals that

“ Seizures are abnormal movements or behavior due to unusual electrical activity in the brain are a symptom of epilepsy”,

As per my point of view, However, not all the people who got seizures have epilepsy. What I think, when the human body produces an excess amount of electricity that it can handle that time brain gets some unusual electrical signals, after some time, which eventually leads to a seizure.

Anyway, my interest was to understand, how could possibly a human body can generate such a huge amount of electricity?

Let me clear here, I am not a doctor or expert in any kind of medical field, I am writing something with some possibilities, which may be true or have no sense at all.Now, the question comes, how, why and when human body generates  so much electricity, which can lead to a seizure or similar type of situation.

If we see, the human body is made of two things physical and cosmic entities. We all very well know about main physical attributes of the human body are as Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen  Nitrogen  etc. However, a dead human body also has all these things, it means in a live human body apart from physical entities, we have something additional, which causes human to keep alive that thing I am keeping in the category of cosmic entities.

What I have considered here that cosmic entities are as emotions, soul and thoughts. Here's one thing we have to understand very clear, energy is common in both the entities. Energy from cosmic to physical  or physical to cosmic entities transformed continuously.

To understand this, just imagine, how we get an extra energy (in the form of high blood pressure in the fist, face, etc.) when we see something intolerable or injustice and in another contrast why we lost energy (feel very low, bad mood etc.) when we get some bad news, treatment and failure?

Basically, our mind and heart transformed physical energy into cosmic energy and vice verse. The idea of telling  this is that our body can produce an excess amount of energy on the basis of our reactions.

Now, I come to the main point, when we thought our body start producing energy in our system (cosmic to physical energy), if these thoughts get aligned with our action the we neutralize the excess energy in the result of joy, happiness or good mood. If we don’t get an answer to our thoughts, we feel low, depressed or end up with a bad mood.

But think about this scenario, if we did not get any result, means neither good or bad mood then what happens? This third scenario is very dangerous, technically, in this situation, we are not able to reach on any conclusion, our mind gets lost or confused to decide whether this is good or bad. Consider this situation like a DVD stuck in a DVD player then what happens, either you keep on listening/watching same situation again and again of frozen scene or get some nasty sounds and pictures?

Here, the DVD player is our mind and thoughts are the scene of a DVD player, mind is kept on thinking again and again and go into a whirlpool. Now, the mind is not resting, it keeps on processing same thoughts again and again and in the result our body is continually producing energy. Our body has a limit that how much energy it can sustain in our system.

After a certain time our body gave up, now this energy wants to drain out from our body system, in the result human body produce an extra high blood pressure or very high electric current in the human body and the affected person lost the control of his mind, which ultimately leads to high anger, which may change the personality of the person or it may end up in the form of a seizure.

All these are my own assumptions about a seizure or change of personality of a human being, I thought this on the basis of self-realization. And try to create the same scenario for myself. However, I could not go beyond a certain limit, due to keep a check on my conscious mind, otherwise I might end up in the coma or brain hemorrhage.

If you a person who has an introvert personality and having a tough time to discuss your problems with someone, you are a perfect candidate to get a seizure attack. Be careful while doing meditation. People those are open personality or very talkative they clear their thoughts out of brain on a regular basis but those are not that type  keeps the same thought stored in their mind for a long time and when they do meditation, this thought gets stuck in their brain like a whirlpool.

When someone does the meditation that time this person has an ideal environment to create this scenario, consider you are alone and trying to focus on something or clearing our thoughts out of your mind. However, your mind has been stuck in one place, in the spiritual world this has been called “Deep Mditation”. Now, your mind and heart will convert your thoughts into a cosmic electric energy, in the result, either you will cry non stop, change your behaviors or end up getting seizures.

Basically, all these outcome want to release the excess enrgy produced by your body system. Once the energy releases, person becomes normal.

In the end, I will only say that much, if you do the meditation, please be careful to fall in the trap of human anatomy. It will be much better to do light meditation and return back to normal life rather than going in deep meditation and lost in the transition.
