We are gifted
with a life. We need to decorate it with a living that such a magnanimous gift deserves.
We are
bejewelled with the beads of the time, a time that always moves ahead, telling
us and foretelling us to recognize the ‘move ahead’ factor.
We are entrusted
with a space that we need to enliven by our very presence here.
We need to
be aware enough to cruise across the dimensions of the time and space to
organize the beads on the timescale to put on a congruous sphere of existence.
Nothing
condescending! Nothing subsisting! Nothing excruciating!
Yes, life
does come across such moments and many find them aplenty but we need to see
about their nothingness.
The cardinal-most
lesson of life is to move as the time moves, taking strides forward.
And we don’t
need to look anywhere but within us to make sense of how to make sense of
looking forward.
We need to
orient and re-orient the inflow of energy from within us to within us and we
need to develop and sustain a harmony that travels from within us to our Self
that is the representative of our Soul here.
We need to
develop our internal faculties to set them in harmony along with the time-scale
of the unidirectional flow of time.
Our internal
faculties need to coordinate with each-other if we have to have this harmony.
How do we
keep us, how do we talk, what do we think, and how do we feel about us – every element
needs to be in harmony with the other and needs to be mutually communicating
and fostering.
And we need
to have this internal harmony to believe in ‘us’, to communicate with our ‘Self’,
to exist within our ‘Soul’, to matter in our sphere of living and to prevail in
life.
The flow of
life has to be unidirectional. We need to realize the difference between the
memories and the happenings.
The past is
about memories. The present is about happenings. And we don’t need to be
worried about the future. Taking care of the past (through the memories) and the
present (with the happenings) will take care of the future.
For a
unidirectional flow of life, as the time proceeds and processes us methodically
and in existential harmony of the Universe, we, too, need to establish the
internal harmony within our persona, diligently and consistently.
Swami
Vivekananda said, “We see, then, that this human
being is composed first of this external covering, the body; second, the finer
body, consisting of mind, intellect and egoism. Behind them is the real Self of
man. We have seen that all the qualities and powers of the gross body are
borrowed from the mind; and the mind, the finer body, borrows its powers and luminosity
from the soul, standing behind.”
