Day 1 (of 40 day program)

Begin very well at 6 AM but dragged down by little laziness and could only get out of bed at 6.30. Not bad a start.

With enough time for breakfast, newspaper and PRAYER (which I had left 6 mths ago) I am feeling good about the day. Now its 11.20 - running late by 20 mins but then wanted to end day with the ritual of updating this page - of learning/discovering something new each day.

So today is not a learning but pondering session - If you have greater awareness of an idea/notion but not others around you, should you come down or wait for others to step up?

To evade the qtn the answer would be - depends. But nowadays I don't want to take the 'sitting-on-the-fence option. My approach till date is let them come up. Now I am thinking if it should be the other one.

What is Idol worhsip - all of us know that there is no God in that sculpture or picture. Yet, human mind needs a focus point to concentrate its mind and hence created something that they can identify, relate and focus on. Human mind is not capable of understanding the abstract. Hence the idol worship helps him to step up and then we see beyond the idol, the One we find.

Why suddenly this spiritual and religion gibberish in between? Probably same applies in day to day life. I think I need to step down in domain of relationships and society to pull up the people around me. I am not claiming a higher position here but then why do some trivial matter matters to my friends as much?

I am not plagued by greater-than-thou syndrome. Instead worried with I-am-not-normal problem. Yes my dear friend you are going to say 'tu kab normal thi' but folks thats all for now. I will try to step down and see how it works.... another to-do for 40day program.
