Tomorrow is the day for all of the Earth, on which Buddha was enlightened. We celebrate this as Buddha Poornima. Scientifically, it is the identical day or the day with identical positions of heavenly bodies which contributes to a certain alignment among each other that in certain part of Earth, where Buddha resided, the complete/full face of the moon was visible. Buddha preached for peace. I wish for the entire humanity to be blessed with peace. This Peace we feel, what is it ? where does it come from ? When and where does it go away from us ?
For all the necessities in life, that we feel, we hear, we smell, we taste and we see, we render this responsibility to our five senses in the body. The five senses are expressed in eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin. Have we ever calibrated our organs? If no, then how can we calibrate? As you might know, there is certain calibration techniques in the scientific world, to make a certain scientific instrument relative to some reference. Be it a watch, a pedometer or complex instrument such as TLE imaging system (of which I came to know during my research years, don't bother, its a little show Off !! ;) ) every instrument is calibrated in its stipulated time. Then what about the organs in our body ? If there is no such calibration exists then how can we rate its performance ?

A catchy one-liner in Hollywood blockbuster Aleksander Bach movie Hitman: Agent 47’ caught my attention that says “There is no reality as such, What u perceive is your reality and What I perceive is my reality.” Then what do we perceive with our five senses? After that the question is "If there is no such thing called reality, then what reality is ??!!" You may have come across several scenario in your life, where, you see and sense things in a way that others find it difficult to perceive. Please do share some examples from your lives when you have come across such circumstances.
It is all about the calibrated(corrected to certain approximations) instrument that you carry with you "Your body". If it ends, it ends with the body. If it starts, it starts with the body. Be it a celestial body, be it a human body or be it the body of any organism. The whole life and death process is revolving about this body. Buddha was tired of this body concept of living. Hence, he decided to do things to get rid of the body related possessions. He showed us the way to Peace. A Happy Buddha Poornima to all.
