Why celebrations

Some people celebrate everything.
some celebrate only those defined as celebrations.
some people celebrate nothing.

Bhagvan Rajnesh tells about "Celebrate every moment" life or death all are events so celebrate. in line with that when his soul left his body every one celebrated some by drinking some by weeping.

But another sect talks "every second is same" let us keep ourself in same position irrespective of good and bad . Generally this is refferred as vedhandham. these people behave as if they are stones. non living body. no change in position on any condition.

so one side one sect talks about celebrate every movement another sect talk about keeping mute for all events.

which one to follow. who is right. celebrate or not to celebrate. pongal celebrations or duty.

these are the questions in my mind now.

When i tried for the answers i come across another sect that talk about burst your emotions. i.e. behave normally means if you want to enjoy , then enjoy the time else you want to weep then pl do that too. this sect argues that brain gets activated when it allowed to function as per its own. pl do not control your emotions. control emotions will erupt in another place.

so which one to follow.

To day pongal , my wife wants me to wear new clothes and celebrate.
do i have to celebrate or drop
if celebrate let it be fully involved or for name shake.

As dwelt upon this chapter further i understand

Celebrations are made in olden days to bring the emotions in one's life.

Emotions are only making the man differ from the animal kingdom.

Emotions only built any empire.

Emotion towards land brought so many victories.

Emotion towards needs brought new inventions

Emotions towards family brought relationship

Today companies are also talking and measuring one's emotional quotient. this only makes one to do any contribution to the company.

Indian had big EQ in olden days.

This is slowly dying due to so called western culture. But western culture also talks about emotional attachement, not in plain language. they want their country men to die for their country . what is that called. Emotions only.

So for emotions point of view let us celebrate every festivels and weep on every bad occasions to lead a balanced Indian life.
