In the ‘Now’ of time, let’s introduce the reader to the journey that absorbs the benefits from sheer exploration of the self. Let this be a key to the door of unresolved miseries.
Life has started. Every co-ordinate in the limits of birth and death has to be experienced. The time has come to start the exploration that pulls the roots of knowledge. We term it as the process of learning. Life can be perceived from the two dimensions i.e. the limitations and the esoteric.
Let us understand limitations as the human characteristics that are responsible for the disturbances in life. These stand against the natural existence of a human being.
Relevant to the present context let us talk of Energy. It is defined as the capacity to do work. Behind every activity there is this requirement called energy.
The disturbances imposed by the human limitations can be moderated with the help of energy. For example patience requires energy. The chances of getting irritated are high when a person is exhausted. But this relation may not hold in all cases. That is eating food which is believed to be the source of energy need not calm down the irritated man. So this puts us back into the search that can satiate man in the realms of life.
Thinking of the energy and the art, that can bring peace to life’s continuing disturbances help us arrive at a practice called MEDITATION.
Through meditation we find inner peace. It also helps in dissolving the limitations and touching the esoteric. Finally we get associated with the cosmic energy that leaves us complete without any requirements attached.

REALIZE, REINVENT…
THE LITTLE TRUTHS OF LIFE
Recollecting the happenings in my life, let me write this beautiful story. One day I entered a room, which was filled with darkness that seemed unlimited in all its dimensions. Nothing was visible. I stayed and lived in the place where anger, frustration and tears had no meaning. There was no one to listen or speak to. With the dreadful darkness around me the only companions were the hopeless, weak thoughts.
Suddenly there was a feeling of hope taking roots from where I am, when I found a candle. It seemed as though the strength of my emotion touched the plane of the heavens, which brought help. Now, with the candle lighted I was reassured that the nature was helping me. For once I adored, respected and fell in love with the candle which showed me the world. I could now enjoy every bit of my existence as the room was filled with exquisitely beautiful things. There were no more thoughts but only pure happiness and joy that ruled my kingdom of life. The candle now appeared as God. It felt as though there was nothing more beautiful and lovely than this candle that I respect the most.
In this mesmerizing flow of events, there was one thing that I forgot. I forgot that the candle cannot last for long and its existence on this plane is temporary. When I became aware of this little truth, I understood that even my existence on this wondrous plane was temporary. And before the candle has left me, it is me who is leaving the candle. This walk into a new room may bring many more surprises and the candle remains a memory in this illusory story of existence.
