Sometimes, just a casual conversation can give you so much which can influence you whole life. Values inculcated by Karamchand made his son walk in the direction no one dared to. We today know him as 'Mahatma'.

Following are the excerpts from a casual chat I had with a buddy of mine today on an instant messager.

Me: Getting screwed real bad man :((

XYZ: Thats only because you resist

Me: Haha...Depends on how you look at it...

XYZ: Enjoy it and you will see that you are actually enjoying :D

Me: some believe in going with the flow..some believe that the very meaning of their lives is to keep moving however strong the juggernaut is

XYZ: so which one are you ?

Me: I haven't decided yet :)

XYZ: :P

Me:I want to be the one who keeps moving..but the juggernaut is pushing me back....not only the external juggernaut , but the one inside me does the same...

and I strongly believe if I conquer myself...I will be someone I really want to be

XYZ:because it’s the nature .....the ONYL problem is that we are not with the nature...flow with the universe and then there is no misery :P

Me: that is the whole point dude...what do you consider to be as nature and what you consider to be the opposing force....if you consider opposing force to be the nature you might enjoy flowing with the flow....it all depends on one's perception

XYZ: opposite force = miss-understanding / ego / stupidity

and yeah perception is there

Me: correct.... perception is what matters..that is what defines you...not the bones and flesh in you

XYZ: so who is this speaking ?

Me: I suppose none of the two characteristics we are talking about...

instead...

it's the artist in me..who comes out at time to show his literary abilities :P :p

XYZ: artist :O omg :P

Me: haha :D

anyways...was good to talk..even for a while...will keep pinging you

XYZ: this is real you I guess .... when you are alone you suffer from yourself , otherwise most of the time you are busy with some work n all

Me: very well stated...right you are...it’s just the situations which make you act differently...and there are some which bring the real 'you' in you...

anyways...will split now...

Keeps me thinking...
