(Thoughts that crossed my mind while flying to KL for the much awaited vacation, which changed me, FOREVER ! The Journey outward, was indeed a journey within...)
As the plane cruised between clouds, leaving below the much loved city of Bangalore & associations of yester-years as a rebus absolute !
Three sixty five days, twelve months, one full year ! It takes a lot to change - or so to say, Accept, Adjust & Accommodate to what lies at present, as reality absolute. The journey to outer realization takes a lot of strive to peep within, look inwards to introspect and make sense of existence of body & the soul. To gaze and realize the reason behind flurry of events that race against time. After all, the time in the year bygone, not only sped, but also sprinted in fleeting speed. Glad it's over ! May it rest in peace.
Thirty thousand feet above, amidst wandering mass, while I looked below, gathering a lot of sense of what life has to offer. My senses rejoiced and clamored that the journey (of life) had just begun and I felt elated to ring in to new adventures, with full gusto ! Perhaps I was asleep all this while, perhaps I had not yet acquainted myself with life in real. But, hold on, events that swept by, were those quintessential? What if they had taken some other course? Had things not been coarse, but smooth, could I have seen this day with a new outlook? Perhaps not!
At times it takes a lot of pain in order to realize & appreciate the beauty of this ever complicated life. After all, as the wise ones say, 'Every pain has a purpose'. No wonder, whether pain is self-inflicted or passed on through an extrinsic force, it is essential to experience it. Not once, but multiple times, to chisel out our beautiful self. After all, an earthen pot is beaten many times to carve out a desirable self. A much known philosophy, isn't it?
The year that swept by, began with apathy, gory revelations, all that was smeared with honeycombed verses, was, in fact, realized to be blanketed with intentions evil. Startled by witnessing duality in beings, I was shattered & broken, for sometime. But, certainly not, for ever ! After all it's not core of my being to stay affected or bothered by something external for long ! Nevertheless, it DID leave an everlasting stench & I DID froze for sometime. Of what was believed to be truth, was indeed manipulation supreme. But, I held on...or perhaps time pushed me ahead.
And time fleeted by, leaving me all the more perplexed...for, what I was witnessing was beyond slightest of assumption that could have touched my conscience. Further worse, things went against my favor, progressed to grey & then ultimately turned blackest black ! And I am glad that I experienced all the pain, for I feel nothing could be more worse in life ! Or perhaps, that's only a perception. I know not...however, I have decided to tread ahead with full vigor.
Gradually, mystery unfolded and reality danced in it's ugliest form. But, I am glad, that it DID ! For, it was indeed an eye-opener, that changed my perspective, ten...errr...no! hundred-folds and for ever ! However, I still wonder, what instigates such foolhardiness in beings as they deal in with their relationships. Yes, I am absolutely clueless ! Of course we are born alone and ultimately die alone as well. But, don't we share lives? Isn't it critical to cultivate 'healthy' relationships & most importantly, cherish them forever? Mulling still !
