Life is simple and beautiful...appreciate it!

Humans are the most beautiful creations of God... and then God let us choose our own path by our own way...called LIFE....and with life comes 'Aesthetics'.
Life is a roller-coaster throughout ! Full of new hurdles, challenges, opportunities! People say Zindagi, kesi hai paheli haaye.... Well, I say... Zindagi ek safar hai suhaana...! Life is too simple to lead...it is we, who make it complicated all the time... fizul kharchte hai mann aur dimaag ko jiski koi zarurat hi nahi... Life is all about how you wanna make it not what and how it makes you!
Human nature by default is made such that no need can ever satisfy us.. we want a bunglow if we have a small house, we want money n fame even if we can afford our living, the funny part is, we like those things owned by others rather than appreciating what we have..! We have so many desires and wants and for fulfilling those, we strive to achieve them by different means...But why do we react to things around us what makes us happy or sad...what makes us reason...
Well....with life, many other things comes along which makes us emotional and ability to think or reason and react to situations in our daily life... The primary feeling and mental status of a person is described beautifully in our Hindu Sanskriti as "RASA" or aesthetics. Rasas describe the way we show our emotions and reaction to our senses. It was earlier used in different Indian forms of art e.g. Dance, Music, Dramatics and so on... In total there are 9 rasas or what we call is Navarasa which are as follows:
  • Śṛngāram (शृङ्गारं) Love, Attractiveness. Presiding deity: Vishnu. Colour: light green.
  • Hāsyam (हास्यं) Laughter, Mirth, Comedy. Presiding deity: Pramata. Colour: white.
  • Raudram (रौद्रं) Fury. Presiding deity: Rudra. Colour: red.
  • Kāruṇyam (कारुण्यं) Compassion, Tragedy. Presiding deity: Yama. Colour: grey.
  • Bībhatsam (बीभत्सं) Disgust, Aversion. Presiding deity: Shiva. Colour: blue
  • Bhayānakam (भयानकं) Horror, Terror. Presiding deity: Kala. Colour: black
  • Vīram (वीरं) Heroic mood. Presiding deity: Indra. Colour: yellowish
  • Adbhutam (अद्भुतं) Wonder, Amazement. Presiding deity: Brahma. Colour: yellow
  • Śāntam Peace or tranquility. deity: Vishnu. Colour: blue
Each rasa has its original and distinctive feature and it is believed that each person living in this earth possesses all of these aesthetics and uses these emotions almost every day! It is so beautiful that those expressions are well defined and that every bit of mental status counts in our life because without these we are as good as animals. Why are we different from other species made by God is because we know how to express, think and feel and most importantly sometimes using only gestures to communicate! That is the most sophisticated and wonderful gift to the mankind.
And so this is how we are happy seeing nice things, annoyed seeing bad things and evoke feelings for such worldly things which occupies mind throughout. Life is all about us and only us because we only are the ultimate decision maker of our life...and therefore nothing is good or bad, it is we who perceive it as good or bad!
                                          Life is a beautiful and rare gift...appreciate it..!
