Found a new meaning for the idiom, “Kal kare so aaj kar, aaj kare so ab”. It has never been about doing tasks, it is about detachment by completion.
– Realised while trying to explain to my wife the merits of achieving all personal desires today when there is still time as who knows what happens tomorrow. English Translation for “Kal kare so aaj kar, aaj kare so ab” is that “If you want to do something tomorrow then to it today and if you want to do something today then do it now”
Yep and I have put some thought on this a couple of time. This is what I have come up with, its in bits n pieces but I will try to share it.
What if there is no time?
We might say past n future, but it only lies in our mind. There is only present and this current moment.
The days/dates/months/years.. all these are the things we have created. Nature knows nothing of it or doesn’t care about it.
We are so sure that we going to live tomorrow so we try to postpone things. Instead if you live life as if today is your last day or every moment is your last then you would try to get things done on that day (if you’re a serious person that is).
Yes Sir Suechi. This is so simple to understand. The only thing remains is to figure out who I truly am and what do I truly want.
Who you truly are, you’re just a piece of meat just like every other living thing (I say meat in a general context)
What do you truly want? Write down the purpose I told you.
The end 🙂
Ouch, Anger, assertion.
I will do the purpose exercise. But it’s not easy for me. Apologies.
Theres no Anger, assersions, just statements 🙂
Yes Sir.
I like the phrase detachment by completion. I’ve been trying to finish more projects lately, and it definitely helps me spend time doing what I want to do. I want to be do the things I enjoy now, not necessarily the things I thought were going to work when I decided to do them so long ago.
Thank you for noticing Sir Issac. I have come to understand that we must complete tasks or in other words face them head on to finally have a closure on them and move on. I see that as the method to achieve detachment. Accepting, admitting and the saying the truth out loud to the concerned greatly help in the process, even if the concerned is only just yourself.
