Today morning, like most mornings, as I got up, I did not get out of bed right away. I like to thank the universe for what I have and for the infinite blessings already upon us. I like to see my friends and my family and all the loved ones in my downline and upline in the mind's eye and send forth love and blessings in their direction and feel the goodness that is around us, the beauty that is around us. I like to accept from the supreme power, all the peace , all the love, all the power, purity, happiness that is showering upon us but we can't see because we are too busy worrying about the future or about what we don't have. And that is my internal Facebook account which I like to access all the time.
I got out of bed after some time and picked the ipad to check on something and by chance Taru's mom's Facebook account was open on it. As I just scrolled it, I could see updates from Amitabh Bachchan, from all the cousins and nieces and nephews and Narendra Modi....everybody who she likes and appreciates and cares about in the world. It was so marvellous being able to stay in touch with everybody and be able to get a peek into everybody's yester-day and yester-week and yester-month. But by the time I finished through it, the mind had lost all the peace and calm that I was experiencing right before it.
And that has happened before too. I have 2 Facebook accounts - one for personal friends and another where people in business are added. I have noticed that every time I spend time on my facebook account, I know much more about everybody in the world, but the pictures are all one dimensional. It seems like everybody's life is perfect except mine. It looks like they are having all the fun and I'm the one doing all the work. It looks like what I have is nothing in comparison with what others have.
I know it doesn't happen with everybody. I know it's not Facebook's problem. And I know it doesn't happen with you. But I like to access my external Facebook as little as possible and my internal Facebook as much as possible. Keeps me more at peace with myself.
