Some call it Nirvana. Others call it Awakening, Enlightenment, Realization, Oneness, Satori, Yoga, Liberation. For me, it is nothing mystical or grandiose, but something utterly mundane and ordinary. Whenever I hurt, I would examine the thoughts that I am believing in. And when I realize that those thoughts are untrue, I am left with nothing but Peace and Joy.

Lunch Error

It is a Saturday and on Saturdays I finish work at 1 pm. I had left the office earlier and had already fetched my son to tuition class. I was in Tesco doing some shopping. The time was around 3 pm. I felt hungry and remembered that I had totally skipped lunch. I walked to the Tesco food court and approached a Roti Canai shop. I asked for murtabak dish and was told that they had not prepared it yet. I felt a little disappointed. I was feeling hungry, and so I looked around for other delicious alternatives. But could not find anything appealing.

Suddenly, I remembered that at around 12.30 pm. while I was in college (my workplace), I had already had a packet of fried beehoon-mee for lunch! Immediately, my hunger vanished! I no longer felt hungry!

Amazing, how believing in my false thoughts could actually make me feel hungry. When I thought that I hadn't had lunch, I was anxious to find something nice to eat, but when I realize that I had actually already had my lunch, all anxiety evaporated!
