P'haps the trick that may just do it is to live for the moment, past be made peace with and future be left to the machinations of abstract fate (if you're an atheist) or the auspices of the divine (if you've a believer). <BR/><BR/>Live it in resonance with your beliefs, the heart, and the instincts, the gut.<BR/><BR/>Easier said than done, and easiest to refute, argue with. But with so many ways to look at it, mine's just one among some teeming, tetchy billions. :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers, and Vishwa, thanks for your kind comments over my post - 'Eating a Peach...' at blogchaat.com. Might as well share with you, this imagined piece did stem from a real loss (friend), which due to a certain natural reticence turned to take on fictional overtones. Glad it touched a chord in you.<BR/><BR/>CheersPrashanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15106950836291718325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15131931.post-55144543962604255222007-03-31T19:10:00.000+05:302007-03-31T19:10:00.000+05:30Val..Rk Narayan is like vintage wine.

That desire comes when life at present isn't acceptable. Or, the promised life is more alluring than the current situation. But the paradox is that, when you get there, there can be another promising horizon--the current life can remain unsatisfactory even after arriving. How to reconcile this with what Tolle says--'Totally accepting the Now'? That's a puzzle for me. Your thoughts?<BR/><BR/>...Thanks Myke.Vishwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212671896677162784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15131931.post-5783277818707635272007-03-31T01:22:00.000+05:302007-03-31T01:22:00.000+05:30Good post.Likewise, I've got stacks of books.

Ohterwise, most of the time we muddle on. There will only be change within us when we really really desire it desperately enough to do something about it, ourselves. It would be nice to be touched with a magic wand and be transformed - but you and I know it doesnt happen like that!<BR/><BR/>Oh R.K. Narayan - what a master storyteller. I have recently recommended his books to someone who likes to read novels by Indian writers, about India. He is so good at invoking atmosphere by writing naturally.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743788129921238096noreply@blogger.com
