You have all just become materialistic and worldly and consumer of the modern world. You have forgotten the great lessons.
Remember tasawwuf. Spiritualism. Sufism. Mysticism or meditation in case Osho is your guy. Or anyone. Every faith has a name for it.
The point is: you forgot the lessons.
If you inhale the negative energy, and think positively, and then exhale it out – the negative energy wont damage you. It will make you stronger. Because what doesn’t kill you, makes you spiritual.
This smog is just a test. Of your faith and spirituality. Become Rumi – not while reading him but while inhaling the smog. Take deep breaths. Deeper. Keep it inside for long. And then exhale the positivity out. Make the world better with your lungs.
The thicker it is, the better. It’s more about IQ. Not AQI.
Smokers have been serving forever. Inhaling tobacco and exhaling art. Offering the world and spreading positivity around the world. All over the world.
Don’t forget the lessons. Don’t be terrified. It’s nothing around you except an aesthetic world to be painted and written about. Be a Rumi or Osho – whoever suits you – and be on the path of Nietzsche’s Ubermensch or Iqbal’s Khudi.
