Musings on Plan B

Dear All

Expectations breed frustrations. Repeated frustrations lead to loss of interest even in life.....!! Any one wants to disagree at this stage ??

Normally when one is so committed about some doing about any thing gets dissappointed (at smaller level) or frustrated (when it is repeated quite often!!) when things are not happening the way it should....!! There is a very thin line dividing between getting "involved" or getting "entangled" and this musings is trying to bring a very practical approach to know the difference between the two.(as I have realised it emphatically with my own experience)

I watched Sadhguru in a lecture who lucidly presented the thoughts of Bhagavat Gita and with his usual intensity differentiated the two above terms...I was almost there in understanding the two words...BUT alas....never realised it with his level of conviction. Convinced myself that I am just a lesser mortal and it might be absurd in trying to equate his level of exposure to life with my mundane one....

The few developments at my personal side during current week helped me at least to imagine that I am almost there....to understand this in a limited perspective at least. What developments that I got might not be so important but how it helped me could be of immense benefit to you..so this musings...

While we are are doing some thing, if only, we have a plan B for us, we automatically develop a gap from the result of the current life (plan A). The mere fact to hold a dream for us as a back up and spending some quality time on it on consistent basis can help us not to get too much "entangled" with life. I am not talking about escapism here...and it is ofcourse important to develop a love (can I say "passion" in what we are in right now !!) but not a choice-less love. This is what my realization is..

Perhaps, people who are already into too many things might find this musings bit too childish for them...but, be aware that this has come from some one who was stuck up with one thing and never took any initiative to broaden the horizons until now...!! We start approaching our day to day routine work bit differently when the dreams within us keep working on us constantly.

Enough I think...for the day....!! Oops that was the second musings of the week ??
