			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The inspiraton behind this name change is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationality" target="_blank">Rationality</a>. From now the blog also talks about Rationality in addition to Technology and Spirituality.</p>
<p>Few months back I have attended a spiritual gathering, where I did much reading. I always get fascinated reading spiritual literature, so I continued reading for a week, it was then I have come across a blog comparing spiritual organizations to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult" target="_blank">cult</a>&#8217;s where people are very less rational or irrational. I have no idea of what rationality means at that time, I have gone through few wiki articles reg. rationalism and biographies of people who were rational or philosophical. Interestingly that was the time I had few discussions with <a href="http://blog.prashanthellina.com" target="_blank">Prashanth</a> on reasoning and logic. I was very thrilled by the intelligence behind rationality.  Though reasoning is a natural phenomena, we don&#8217;t apply to certain things just because they are such certain. But the habit of reasoning wonderfully  make you understand how those very certain things are not just certain.</p>
<p>I always had trouble in accepting such beliefs in spirituality which are not logical such a past/next life, enlightenment etc. I found nothing to confirm them but to force myself to believe in them with a belief that I will one day realize them in the process. Now with a week&#8217;s reading about Spirituality and Rationality I started applying reasoning to what I studied in Spirituality and very soon I was very happy to accept that there is no God. Spirituality asked me to stop being Religious saying that God has no religion,  no form and said he is everywhere. It extended saying, its not a good habit asking God for something as he knows everything. Concluding that I can never see him because he has no form and its completely ridiculous asking him for something because he knows everything. So slowly the rationality inside me started smiling to say that there is no God which further eased me to stop believing about past/next life and enlightenment.</p>
<p>I love being spiritual for its Universal Love, Brotherhood and Kindness. Spirituality can be seen as extension to the moral science that we study in school.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[‘I am Lost’ is a philosophy where one will be lost in the thought of most subtle, divine, powerful and something which can be everything and nothing at the same time.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is that confusing?? This title can mean either as &#8211; I Lost to ‘I am Lost’(Noun) &#8211; or &#8211; transformation from ‘I Lost’ to ‘I am Lost’., Realizing that I Lost to ‘I am Lost’ made me transform to ‘I am Lost’. OK let me explain how I Lost and what ‘I am Lost’ is. From my childhood and as aplicable to many of u we in general have that great feeling of “I can do” or further extending it “If I Can’t, Nobody Can”. We always say to ourself that we can do anything but with always adding an exception to it saying if and only if i really wanted to do. So ever u removed that exception and kept that I Can Do in action may be not really but there would b many situations like interviews, exams etc to prove ourselves where we likely remember the “I can do” off course before attending an interview u obviously feel so but after missing it u would remember your exception and happily extend it to your I Can Do philosophy and would say I really doesn&#8217;t put my effort otherwise I would have cracked it..</p>
<p>How many more days are u going to cheat yourself….</p>
<p>Accepting this, Realizing this &#8211; that u have lost many times and its not possible for u to do whatever u want would change u instantly. Wakeup from the very beautiful dream</p>
<p>u would be surprising by this time do this post has really got a solution for this whole drama or whatever u name it <img class="wp-smiley" src="file:///home/karthik/Desktop/karthikbala.com/search_files/icon_smile.html" alt=":)" /> yeah there is i.e ‘I am Lost’ if and only if u understand it and accept it.</p>
<p>‘I am Lost’ is a philosophy where one will be lost in the thought of most subtle, divine, powerful and something which can be everything and nothing at the same time. Got any idea of what it can be? How can anything be everything and nothing at the same time, there is ONE which we all know. And that is GOD every religion says and of course everyone of say GOD is ONE, HE has no form, no shape, no name, no attributes and at the same time we do also say HE is the almighty, HE is all pervasive, HE is the supremo etc…. Now u consider someone or something whom u feel GOD.</p>
<p>We loose many times because of lack of seriousness, laziness and this laziness is because we are addicted to our bodily pleasures and one easy solution to it is to feel GOD. Yeah feeling God is good in many ways. You have to feel as if you are God, feel feel and feel it until u lost in HIM. Lost in HIM?? yeah that happens, u would even forget that u exist you will b enjoying in that divine glory and u now become GOD. And what more u want dear now u r GOD and where is the place for failure to YOU. GOD never fails sweet off course u know it <img class="wp-smiley" src="file:///home/karthik/Desktop/karthikbala.com/search_files/icon_wink.html" alt=";)" /></p>
<p>For all those enjoying the bliss of laziness and if at all if u had that enough and want to see the other side of world feeling GOD is the easiest or i would like to call ‘laziest’ way of putting an end to your laziness.</p>
<p>Constant Remembrance(TM) of GOD would help u a lot in absorbing into HIM. Forget yourself, feel that u are GOD and feel that it is HE who is acting from your body and not you. Whatever is happening think that HE is doing that and not you. Totally it is not you, its HIM.</p>
<p>P.S &#8211; Constant Remembrance is service mark of SRCM, Chennai.(www.srcm.org)</p>
<p>God in this article refer to Divine Light and does not relate to any religion.</p>
