We learn from the society that we
have to be responsible. We should be responsible in fulfilling our duties and taking good care of our loved ones. All that we remember about ourselves is physical.
We work every day with the intent of building a good personality which is
acknowledgeable by the society.
A small child is pleasant and
joyous. He has no responsibilities. The trees live naturally. It is not their
responsibility to purify the air or hold the earth together. It’s a part of
their natural living. For us working is natural. Having food is natural. We
share this space on earth for living together. It’s all basic living. In the
same way we get emotional, we fall in love, we become angry and this is all
defined naturally in the life of man. Moreover we have designed lifestyles and
mannerisms for living together. Hence it is evident that the world today was
built through a natural thought process for sustaining our race with stability
and balance retained in nature.
Today we witness complications in
life. We seem to understand more than our ancestors. We understand compromises,
fears, differences, profits and many more which are less natural for the mind.
In a way we call this knowledge, wisdom or even intelligence in the process of
evolution. We try to gear up to stand
first in the queue. In this race between ourselves we have lost the concept of
goal and purpose in our lives.
We started living without the
common awareness of what we want from our lives. If a person starts running in
one direction, our immediate thought is to run faster than him in the same
direction. In this way we are living without a goal in life. We called this
competition. Initially we defined concepts for sustaining a peaceful living in
this world. But today we define our lifestyles for sustaining the concepts we
defined earlier, even if they are inapplicable to the present. If we continue to attach
strings in this way, we will be no different from the puppets in a puppet
show.
Finally I want to say that it’s a simple world and there are
no strings 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.
