WHAT DO I WANT

All my friends call me a generous fellow (so friends if you want to remain my friend call me that asap .. hee hee) but the truth of the matter is that I am as selfish and materialistic as anyone else. And that’s true….everyone is selfish…everyone is materialistic…in varying degrees of intensity and direction.

Take a sage. Can you call him/her an unselfish person? ( I am talking of the sages of yore. Not the present day Romeos and Rascals). Yeah accepted they are sacrificing all the material comforts in this world but for what are they doing that? For salvation. For salvation of themselves. Isn’t that selfishness? It is just that. Just because they don’t fall into the normal greed of other humans we can’t say it’s not selfishness.

Ok leave all that. Lets get back to what’s important for me. ME. What is it that I want? What do I crave for? What do I need? All that I ever wanted was one, single, unitary thing. More than anything that I ever wanted all that I ever wanted was one thing…EVERYTHING. Ya ya I know its an old phrase. But it’s very true.

And why shouldn’t I want everything? I know that I don’t deserve everything. But then show me a person who does deserve. Isn’t the very existence of man on this planet an effort to make him(her) worthy or deserving enough to get what he(she) wants? No one was born deserving. Even the gods who supposedly took avatar on Earth had to go through turmoil and had to prove their worth for a simple thing (or tough thing ;depends on your perspective) as marrying.

So as one famous yogi (a very good one) living in present times said, desire everything and get everything. I am following that and I do get what I want.(at least most of the times)
