Thoughts, when not burdened by any "isms" give one freedom in realistic terms...

Philosophy always gives us a very nice feeling when we read and even a sort of mental elevation for a short while ..

But we have to live this life of stark realities,,,

with our body, limbs, mind etc...

Discourses and readings in philosophy and thought of the supreme one or brahman etc can be nice as intellectual exercises..

But we have to have house, electricity, food and drinks from morning coffee and breakfast followed by meals, dinner, supper,,....

And we need clothes to wear,

Bed to sleep,

We have to live in reasonable peace with parents,

siblings and spouse and children, friends and relatives,

We cannot avoid social contacts to love and we cannot exist without finding some fulfilment..

Even the high-sounding posts, articles and declarations we create in social media, the claims of intellectual superiority we try to brag about , all these usually originate from us and are effusively dished out with the sole aim of grabbing acceptance of and appreciation from all people around us...

This simple, raw, physical, mundane existence is a reality we have to reckon with during every moment of our existence. ..

And whatever we may claim, we are not very sure about the attributes the divine being, about the punyam, papam , fate, theory of Karma and so on.. Perhaps, we are talking aloud simply because we are really are very unsure, we are uncertain about the premises we find ourselves in.

I do not think there is anything wrong in thinking of God, and having intellectual debates about swamis, gurus, deities and so on, but we have to ensure that our feet are attached firmly to terra firma..

The real, real in the sense what we see or feel through our sense organs and our ordinary human mind, can never be lost sight of, should never be lost sight of..

Education, earning, profession, ageing, or even are all realities.. And they have all ordinary meanings which any human being, religious or irreligious, theist or atheist can all see, feel and enjoy, and suffer too.

I for one, keep my feet on the ground, as firm as possible and then alone go for higher thinking and so on.

And I continue to think simply because I cannot help thinking,

Arguing, convincing or trying to persuade others to accept or reject my views is not at all of any importance to me.

Nor is it in my agenda.
