When was the last time you felt constipated, had upset stomach? Are you able to recollect and relive the experience of what you went through at that time? Frustration, helplessness, misery, overly critical and utter regret over what you might have had eaten the previus day which made you to suffer in this way. Well after you had quite a few visits to the loo you must have felt a bit relieved, though completely tired and seriously praying that the visit should be the last one.
Obviously everybody knows why and how one gets an upset stomach, constipation and loose motions, one really does not need to go and consult a doctor for it .Only if you might have over eaten the previous day, or had some stuff, bad for your stomach unknowingly or knowingly, just because it was tempting, you will suffer from this atrocity and rebellion from your stomach. It just wants to get rid of all what you had dumped into it without considering about the future consequences. In fact you should be thanking it, that it is helping your system to detoxify the harmful waste, and get rid of it or else your health would deteriorate even more, requiring serious medical assistance.
But you hardly have any gratitude for your poor stomach, instead you first abuse it and when you suffer, you curse it even more. You filthy, thankless creature! Anyways that’s how people are ungrateful and weird.
People are aware of only this constipation on a physical level caused by upset stomach which leads to so much of physical draining of energy and frustration. But there is another type of constipation which is even worse than this one and the effects of which are there for along long time. It is mental constipation, caused by upset mind and emotions leading to a continuous state of suffering in form of frustration, hatred, jealousy, greed, and fear. And the worst thing is that, most people who suffer from it on daily and moment to moment basis do not even know that they are suffering. They assume this mental constipation is a part and parcel of life, and hence they live with it and even find ways to increase their sufferings and even recommend it to others! LOL!
Not only they live with the filth and waste in their minds they also spread it around. They do not understand that the real cause of their sufferings and all possible unhappiness and sorrow in their life is their failure to clean up the mess with which they have filled their head with. People in fact consider and value it as priced possession, as some significant knowledge and information which will help them to be happy , free and joyous in life. What they do not realize is that there is no knowledge, no information in form of any thoughts, ideas, attitude, beliefs and philosophies of life however rosey and beautiful it might sound and feel, that will bring love, peace and joy in life.
Knowledge, information, theories, intelligence, attitude is all good and required for one to achieve success in the outside world(even that cannot be guaranteed most of the times!), but if we just acquire and store all crap ideas, thoughts, beliefs etc to be happy and joyous, it starts just piling up over there and starts decaying making the person suffer even more under its pressure. No amount of knowledge, thoughts, beliefs etc., even if it were from your religion, from your Geeta, Bible, Kuran etc. can give you a taste of what it means to be truly happy, joyous, free and fearless.
Just remind yourself what was the reason for your physical constipation and loose motions? It was due to either too much of food or some bad food or both. Same is with your mental constipation and the “loose motions of your emotions”(I really enjoyed writing this one!).You have to empty your mind and put only the truthful principle to be perpetually, happy, free and joyous life, which is, that there is nothing in this world which can give you true happiness, joy and freedom. If it does it comes along with its own share of suffering. It is a sorrow and misery disguised as happiness and joy. Hence you need to be all awake and aware before feeding anything in your mind especially if it related to your happiness and peace.
You need to just empty your mind of all the rot which you have been gathering over the years hoping that it is and will provide me with happiness and joy. Just go with your “Gut Instinct”. Take a step forward with courage to declare that your happiness, peace, joy, freedom and life does not depend on any thoughts, ideas, beliefs, attitudes, circumstances, and even people whom you find near and dear.
This is the time to clear your stuff or else if you continue to live with it, the sufferings and the miseries are going to be worse and it shall become impossible for you to do it. You shall become cynical, neurotic and a person with full of duplicity and hypocrisy.
P.S- Please friends, there is no pill or medicine available to empty your mind like you get to empty you bowels. So don’ ask for prescriptions! Yes, but you can start my being aware of your own mess and reduce it through mediation, and selfless, non judgmental and unconditional acts for others and yourself as well.
Always in your faith,
Love Peace Joy Blessings,
Sakha-The Friend
