Exacting faith

Emptiness is a negative connotation depending on the usage. Osho says that plain emptiness is negative but full of emptiness is positive. The insecurities abound as we pine too much for securities. Overemphasis always leads to a reaction. Let us be like a hollow pipe, which is blissfully unaware of the resources but still remains a good participant in the euphony of nature when required. The universal consiousness is all pervasive. Let us meditate to sing and dance and then a thousand orgasms might just burst forth and might recompense infinitely more for the materialistic losses. A yogi is a practical person as he believes first in keeping his body healthy. A stressed and burnt-out executive may not be that practical if the monetising circumstances are taking a toll on the body. A tree man knows the fragrance of the trees even as a die-hard agnostic cannot explain by dissecting a seed how the seed gives rise to the leaves, flowers, foliage, stem or any other living form. Similarly, infinite atoms comprising matter is reason enough to make us believe in a divine power who is now not lost after creating all these. The designs of the creator are abstruse but one can empathize with people like Thomas Hardy who wrote tomes on the world being full of sufferings and claimed in one of his writings that earth is a blighted planet. Perhaps, circumstances are stronger than faith at times. Facts supersede the truth at times.
Cautious optimism is good as a business jargon and optimism beomes a literary jargon at times.
However, it is good to try and have faith that only God will guide us through all these and we can say, "This too shall pass!"
And it is not that we mortals try to extract our pound of flesh in that! We are deperate without HIM!
