“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.” 
- Wayne W. Dyer

“You used,” he said, and then took a sharp breath, “to call me Augustus.” 
- John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Perception is that which matters in everything as perception is that blanket of clouds that colours all that we encounter – whether experiences or interactions or other affiliations.All those factors and the knowledge that we muster or the whole process of the seeping in of the ‘understanding’ and our opinion on that understanding is guided by the way we see and the nature of all those internal and integral aspects that rest upon us the ability to see in a certain manner,further having their external manifestation in the ability to be opinionated and render to the world that world within.

Hence,since perception is the guiding factor and the principal element of the cognitive processes we undertake,it thus becomes significant to look into the source of such perception and all those thoughts and learnt emotions,beliefs and values within,with the effort to also ensure that such factors are indeed enriching – resting on the foundation of that instinct to follow that which is common to the mankind,regardless of the holograms of race,caste etc. created – granting a powerful illusion but failing to justify anything more than that word.

Everything and every moment to be encountered must be derived from in an honest way for it to be something etched into our attitudes that we can rather be proud of.Such honesty,in it’s level and very nature is effortless as it indeed is a blessing on each and every being and such a perception shall be comprising of the attributes that guide the manner in which the child sees the world.

Such a perception of the child is free from any pre – conceived notions and the tendency to predict the possibilities of  catastrophe every step and there are no ideologies that shade such events and the way it gets stored into the psyche.

Thus,it indeed is highly surprising as to how a human can initiate a whole revolution inside that yields the most positive results imaginable by plainly doing nothing different or spectacular – but yet that being so since an achievement of this nature is not palpable at all in the modern context ,wherein man is entrenching the resources of the self towards fulfilling the goals set in the physical world that have the capability of fetching all the material means – a behavior highly justified in nature,it seems.

Sure,man has a desire to grow as it has been stated by human psychologists Abraham Maslow,but the hurdles in the way of attaining the same may trigger a whole wave of negative dispositions due to the experiences of failure or delay in what is being worked for – a taste of that love believed to be embedded in the world deprived of the aura of the essence of what’s real – a mistaken belief,indeed.

In order to curtail the possibility of the same,it becomes important to remain steady towards moving towards that direction of attaining the goals and such determination requires the inspiration – the origin of which is available inside and in a state of ready accessibility,although also establishing a paradox in the arena of the rat – race that’s flourishing into nothingness.

Hence,the the realization of there being the natural tendency to grow and the inevitable truth of man indeed being boundless, is important for the person to move ahead consistently,further rendering to him the energy to overcome the pitfalls and formulate a more optimistic perception of such bummers – a fact that could be the glucose to that ailing soul.

And indeed,perceiving the presence of boundlessness and living the harmonious existence of that presence that exhumes – are not the cup of tea of only those that are labelled as ‘sadhgurus’.
