"Who ever is not against us is for us."
Thats something jesus has told, when his disciples told him about a man who is doing miracles in the name of jesus. That is a strong phrase, a phrase that most of us forgets. We are all trying hard to prove ourself right. We are all trying our best to convince others that our belief system is the best than others. What is the point in that? Ive read a short story recently "LOLA" which is about a strong willed girl in the western society. She despises suicide when marlin monroe commits suicide, yet she is afraid of doing the same when she has hardship in her life. In a way we all are like that. When we don't face any problems, we are really strong with our convictions, but when stretched, we succumb and becomes irrational with our faith. After all we still in a religious faith, where we value the ten commandments than the two given to us by jesus, which only mentions love and love alone, without any boundaries, or do's and do not's!!

Im an avid bike rider. And a very few are better at riding a motor cycle than me, and i take pride in that. Im a fan of manual shift geared vehicles. When i started driving, i used tachometer, and used RPM to shift gears, as its more visual and accurate. Time moved on, and i started using the power delivery i get, while opening the throttle, to judge the gear shifts. Even later, i sensed the need of gear change from the engine sounds, and now its almost voluntary, that i knows when to shift gears, without even noticing any signals. Even better is that, before, i needed to put my ride in the correct gear inorder to prevent the engine from stalling, now i could escape from stalling, by the usage of clutch and proper throttle control. There is a lot of parallels to life from this experience. We need to get to that level with everything, where things flow to us involuntary, whether it is faith, God, Love, Relationship etc no matter what it is. Sadly most of us are still stuck in the phase where we look for signs and signals to act. We look out for the obvious, but that does'nt mean the obvious is the only choice. Obvious is the easier choice, but that just leaves you an amateur, everytime you pick the obvious.
