The kick ass kung-fu priest does not use guns. The kick ass kung fu priest does not kill. The kick ass kung fu priest just breaks a lot of bones. And is all into what we call immunition warfare.
Now the thing about monks in movies is, that they play those classy 'mind games' with their protégés. And they're gonna give all kinds of brilliant spiritual lessons about how to accept stuff in the most unexpected(read stupid) way. What i mean is. U get all sorts of stuff about how to move forward if u gonna go back. How to lose if u wanna win. How to crawl if u wanna fly. If u wanna go down go up. If u wanna go right go left. Jeez...thats lame.. And if people haven't realized that yet. They're really really stupid. If i leave the monk with a group of naxalites tomorrow im sure he will not be able to make god loving Buddhists out of them. Thing is..that the whole concept of spiritual awakening and true spiritual living is slightly over rated. Its too ideal and conceptual for practicing.
I remember participating in one of the most pointless debates ever about the importance of spirituality. And thing was that except the old Sadhu guy who was present no one really seemed genuinely interested in what they were saying. But there was another dude. An eminent columnist with spiky hair and stylish beard with his flashy tie and jazzy shirt. This fellow said a few things that really changed the way i look at the whole spiritual stuff. It is a very interesting thing. highly logical and not always about the triumph of good over evil and compassion and selflessness over indifference. I'll come back to what he said later. But first im gonna talk about some seriously serious stuff (which means its really really serious). Sometime ago while discussing such intellectual sounding things me and some pals came across the talk of spirit. The xing, chi and whatever u may wanna relate it to. Now development of spirit is never the normal thing for 17 yr olds to discuss but then we don't really do all that intense talking. We just think about what life wud b like if the 'power of spirit' could be used to enhance our physical abilities and help us to do all sorts of super human stuff. Imagine. kicking Bush's ass and disappearing from the scene by using the power of spirit. Saving the neighbors daughter using ur power of spirit, from an earthquake (created by ur power of spirit) and then getting her to sleep with u and help u try out ur 'power of spirit'. Now that is how narrow minded most of us are. Now if u dnt wanna agree, don't. But im dead sure that u dnt think any 'deeper' either.
Well coming back to what the cool dude i met during the debate said. He said that being spiritual dsnt necessarily mean that u obtain peace of mind and all the nice things that grownups are dying to obtain these days. He said that considering the power of spirit will get u places if u kno what ur doing. What he meant was the same things as i did. 'Power of spirit'. The kickassest power that is admirably possible for almost everyone to obtain. When i say almost,yes, i DO mean exceptions. Some people are too loserish to even think on these terms, not really meaning that not thinking makes u loserish. But anyhow. "power of spirit" is actually one of those ass busting things that humans can develop to accomplish a lot of assbusting stuff (i use "kick ass" too often by the way)
Now what was the point of this post again? Nothing..it was another pointless post i wrote coz i just wanted to daydream about how i cud use the 'power of spirit' to do impossible things that even jackie chan cudnt do in his fancy movies. HAHAHAHAHA...(this is not funny) HAHAHAHA
