Non duality, self realization and a bottle of whisky

"What is called 'mind' is a wondrous power residing in the Self. It causes all thoughts to arise. Apart from thoughts, there is no such thing as mind. Therefore, thought is the nature of mind. Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the world. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, and there is no world. In the states of waking and dream, there are thoughts, and there is a world also."Inspired by Ramana Maharshi
Its all about life, all about being conscious of our mere existence. Nothing can exist on its own. Everything is dependent on others. There are no opposites in this universe only relations. Light exists only because there is darkness. The sole reason that the god exists is the existence of the evil. It is a single entity. It is the non duality.
Now, I come back to my self. These sort of spiritual words of wisdom will definitely make one void of emotions for his life. The world itself be in a state of non existence. Imagine what if everyone comes out of their mundane activities and realize their self. There will be peace there will be eternal bliss. We are just lost souls in this rapid swiftness of this life. Nobody realizes who they are, what they are. Nobody dares to ask himself "Who Am I?" The life is wasted.
At the end of the day the soul succumbs to the routine affairs from which nodody is able to come out. The truth is nobody wants to come out of the ordinary course that may create a spark of rebellion whcih may change the world. Nobody wants to bear that torch. Nobody wants to be revolutionary. Everyone wants to be an ordinary man. Everyone wants just to be a lesser mortal in this life or the next.
Life is just a bottle of whisky which may take us to a state of bliss, but momentarily..only momentarily.....
" It means that light and shade, long and short, black and white, can only be experienced in relation to each other; light is not independent of shade, nor black of white. There are no opposites, only relationships."Lankavatara Sutra

Yet another day in paradise

Having nothing to do for two days in my company is rarer than the rainfall in Sahara desert. I have started liking my job for the past 2 days. Today I reached office at 10 am, went to have breakfast and after a round in library, I started listening to Kula Shaker, shared by one of my colleagues.These guys are awesome. Some of their songs are extremely profound. One of their song Timeworm can be compared to the likes of legendary Morrison's Bird Of Prey.
While I was spiralling myself in the world of music, my manager called me and asked me something regarding "the testing" done durifng the past few weeks. I ducked myself off from his questions and carefully gave the burden to another guy who was on leave for the past two days. May God bless my soul. I started my journey again into the music through the infiniteness of the www till I reached here. Regarding this, I don't have much liberal ideas that some of my friends have. They may argue that a guy who is well educated as me should be modern in outlook. But I just can't digest it that way, please forgive me.
Coming back to music, the trip through the world of music is extremely interesting even without the consumption of things unknown to the mankind. I don't know how to critically evaluate Jim Morrison or Pink Floyd. But their songs are always orphic in nature with a flair unknown to the mankind. Thats why they are categorized under psychedelic rock. I know this posting is marred by many links, but that is the beauty of wikipedia.

" Oh brother please we are born to this world again
How can we see when we're travelling in time
Love is the key and the key is the name my friend
When will we see that we're travelling in time
Know that your soul is on fire like a million suns
Burn like a star and be travelling in time"--Timeworm, KulaShaker
