An office online chat...

Highlander- Ok your last post is a good read....”avaritia”...like the discussion we had in Gurgaon.
Mayz- Ya, I remember
Highlander- Prose for a difference...
Mayz- Ya know… the last paragraph was where i wanted to show a little bit of helplessness
Mayz- thats why in third person
Highlander- Tht's bit like Caesar...He always talked about himself in the third person...
Mayz- hmmm
Highlander- Makes me feel like giving the world an ultimatum!!
Mayz- hmmm...like what?
Highlander- Something like this....
Highlander- All gold n riches under the sky are the same for me...
Highlander- Nothing in the world can shake my firm convictions...
Highlander- Neither do I need any help to feed them...
Highlander- It's easy to destroy; difficult to build....
Highlander- I personally prefer the constructive mode..
Highlander- But there is another side of me that revels and thrives in destruction...complete dissolution...
Highlander- There's another Highlander within me whom I've bound in chains…
Highlander- The wounded animal....
Mayz- da wolf
Highlander- If I start disassembling, I'll not stop...I shall turn everything into it's primal, attribute-less, particulate, basic state..
Highlander- Do not provoke me to destroy anything...
Highlander- Not much good shall come out of it...
Highlander- Don't try to export sand to Rajasthan...
Mayz- u shud write abt this
Highlander- hmmm... but then the hand that throws everything to dissolution or Pralaya...
Highlander- Must be stopped n turned into the Abhay Mudra...
Highlander- That desire must come from within...once that happens the desire shall attain a bodily form...
Highlander- The gentle, protecting, nourishing, forgiving, female half of Yin..
Highlander- To bring chaos back to balance...
Highlander- In English,that means I should give birth to a girl who can then double as my mate.. :-)
Mayz- u shud copy all this n post it in ur blog
Highlander- You think ppl will read such crap??
Mayz- this is not crap man
Highlander- Reads like the thoughts of a guy high on LSD n Vedanta.. :-)
Mayz- i like that state
Mayz- gives mind a different pedestal to think from
Mayz- thoughts gush out liberally
Highlander- problem is that Vedanta's more addictive than LSD... :-)
Highlander- gives you an unexplained high...something feeling alive every moment...may be not on the physical side.
Mayz- life has n never will b physical
Highlander- it has to man...it's the lowest state of life...how else do you type these keys?? :-)
Mayz- we r drones
Mayz- zombies
Mayz- lifeless thoughtless creatures created by d world
Mayz- not d ones god wanted us to b
Highlander- brainless?? existing on others' brains??
Mayz- this is not life as god defines it
Mayz- this is life as WE define it
Highlander- He never defines it man...
Highlander- Yeah, we define it...
Mayz- he calls it nirvana
Mayz- he calls it a balance btwn d stiff n d flow
Mayz- btwn d essence n d core
Highlander- If we fail to define it in this life, we'll do it in the next..
Mayz- we were better off as animals
Highlander- thoughtless, merely existential??
Highlander- do nothing but think abt food, mating n survival??
Highlander- What abt thoughts like peace, love n sacrifice n kindness??
Highlander- I don;t think we would share our food with another if we were animals..
Mayz- who says animals r not at peace?
Mayz- no love u say??
Mayz- no kindness??
Mayz- more than humans...any given day
Highlander- not to anyone out of their type...
Highlander- Have you seen a lion nurse a doe?? or a human??
Mayz- we r men...not humans
Highlander- What's his basic instinct??
Mayz- bahut mushkil hai aadmi ko insaan banana
Highlander- hmm..yeah..but not impossible...
Mayz- coz u r thinkin like a man
Mayz- not as a human
Highlander- no yaar, being human is the highest quality that one can attain...
Highlander- why else do you think the human spirit is exalted so much??
Mayz- coz humans think
Highlander- yeah, and animals can't think to the extent that humans can..
Highlander- if they could, the concept of the food chain would have been obsolete....
Mayz- food chain...man made concept
Mayz- we don’t know… maybe they too have an essence
Highlander- definitely they do…but they're not conscious to be aware of it...
Mayz- coz they r pure
Highlander- Yes, it's man made, though that's what's seen in Nature for ages...
Highlander- No yaar, only that consciousness is pure...
Highlander- once you just be, that means you’re aware of all that exists, existed n will exist..
Highlander- It's from the desire that rose from the unadulterated consciousness that all creation has happened...
Mayz- who says?
Mayz- man again?
Highlander- yes...
Highlander- Even our own limited intellect follows the same principle..
Highlander- You see anyone else talkin abt it??
Highlander- any other form of creation??
Mayz- do we know whether anyone else does?
Highlander- Has there been any written record of a plant or an animal striving to attain Moksha??
Highlander- that's why even in the scriptures, the heavenly gods have to come down to be born as humans to strive for Moksha..
Mayz- man written scriptures?
Highlander- yes..everything has to reach this launchpad....
Highlander- Human stage is just a launchpad, where lies infinite potential...
Highlander- Why else do scientists say that 90% of our potential always goes wasted??
Highlander- It's because of the sheer variety of wonders tht a disciplined human mind can create....
Mayz- mind....not human mind
Highlander- yeah, actually mind only...
Highlander- if the animals had ways to sharpen their creative intellect, then they also would've created wonders...
Mayz- n destroyed everything around like we r doing
Mayz- for own good
Highlander- haan, that's where the dual nature of intellect comes in...
Highlander- the mind and the intellect always will be working towards self-gratification....
Highlander- Whatever be the means...
Highlander- Power to create can both nourish n corrupt...
Mayz- its a double edged sword
Highlander- Yes.....
Mayz- n d worst thing is we don’t know how to use it
Mayz- if we did we would b humans...n that’s y we r men
Mayz- not humans
Highlander- hmmm…there again, we can acquire the ability..
Highlander- I remember reading a book, "Dear children, become humans first".
Mayz- we'll destroy everything by then
Highlander- Not always, there's always something left to carry on the legacy of the human spirit...
Mayz- d thought of niravana...d thought of moksha
Mayz- thats wat is left in d end
Highlander- yes, for it is only by being humans that we can attain fulfilment n also help others do so....
Mayz- exactly...but r v doin that
Highlander- well aren’t all of us unconsciously harboring the same thougtht??
Mayz- its d present we care for
Highlander- yeah..I agree...
Highlander- Dude, I just got a wild idea…I'm gonna post this conversation in my next blog..
Highlander- :-)
Mayz- haha...i was thinkin d same thing
Highlander- HA HA HA!!
Mayz- go ahead
Highlander- he he...Will do...

The End

@mayz. I know..that's the irony of the situation...Such a fine piece of creation, with one tragic flaw,his own inflated ego..It leads to his downfall..
