Kabir, Spice Girls, Society and Boyzone

Recently I had an opportunity to read some literature of Osho (explaining Kabir’s Doha), listen to some frequently listened songs and give little though towards the life in general. What’s interesting is somewhere all these things have something common to say – be yourself…

Kabir says to get away from society and start your own travel in an opposite direction which currently is acknowledged as the most suitable ones. Of course, you would want to do it only if you are having questions related to existentialism, or knowing your inner self. If this is not your piece of cake, you are at wrong shop ☺

Spice Girls, in their song “2 became 1”, say “Set your spirit free, it’s the only way to be”. Sounds a bit similar to what Kabir had to say, right? I am not sure if these girls were even aware about Kabir, Osho or for that sake spirituality… (I am not talking here about the spirit we usually consume from bottles☺) Another thing worth noticing is, now that band no longer exists, as they de-banded a while ago! May be they wanted to practice what they sang!

The book I am reading from Osho is all talking about how death is beautiful and the common man’s fear for the same. I realized that the ultimate fear in any normal human life is of the death. It’s the only reason we behave the way we do. Some run behind earning money, not realizing where to stop. Some follow the other ways than the legal ones for the same goal. If life is the journey, for this people there’s no end as their destination is not known. And during all the way, they even forget to enjoy the travel. It’s too late when they realize that they can not carry anything with them after they are dead! But, as usual, it’s too late, normally while occupying a bed in ICU of a good hospital and taking aid of all latest medical devices, just to prolong the D-day!

It’s becoming difficult to pen down everything that’s going on my mind. Had so many experiences since last couple of weeks that it’s going to take another couple if I were to write all☺

So on the ending note, I would like to repeat the words from Boyzone’s song: “You think that I don’t even mean a single word I say, (but) It’s only words and words all that I have…”
