How I Wonder What You Are................

Right from the very first day, I read these two lines, I wonder indeed what they are. Millions and billions and probably trillions miles of away, smiling and blinking for reasons unknown to me. They are simply doing the thing, they are meant for. Moving in own orbit every moment without any failure, any fatigue, any complaint or any dissatisfaction. While moving they keep the same pace across the path. Never in hurry. Neither lathergic. No Sunday. No holiday. Yet always afresh. How were they put on their orbit? Any Hint? Any clue? No, I have not yet found any definite explanation to thisvery simple & basic question.

While moving onto their own orbit, even the come closer to some other Stars. There is a great course of attraction also between them. The Stronger and the Larger (can I call them Male in this era of Male Schovinism?) Star attracts the relatively smaller & weeker one. But, with a great sense of harmony, they continue moving on their own orbit. Unless some lethal attraction is there, they do not live their own orbit. They come closer & go far in due course of time. No loss of self identity. No slippage in scheduled task. As if, it was just an incident on the way of life. Yes, an wave of emotion was there. But, at the end, the reason for being there in this universe is not forgotten.

What a lesson !!! How I wonder, what you are. Are you not the one to teach the eternal lesson to the innermost soul? Are you not the Master, who shows the path by walking on it? Are you not giving me the light of knowledge, the very basic yet purest knowledge in my way of life? Are you not teaching me the proper handling of my best of relations with care, maintaining my self identity?

In case, I am too week to resist the attraction who would rush to the otherside and crash into him/her. I would definitely not only lose my own orbit but also be destroyed in such case. At the same time I would hurt the one, I had crush for. I would make a big hole on its entity, making a relatively permannent patch on it. Even, with that wish to get him/her permanently, I would actually lose him/her forever. I would never be able to meet again. Dont you teach me that the whole episode could be avoided only with a little more practice of "Control", the "Sanyama". This was the teaching of the ancient Rishi(s) too, as I have come to know. Were they also your disciple or follower? I wonder !!!!

What a resemblance I find between you and me or rather all of us. I am also not very sure about the process or the exact time of being put on my orbit. I am also expected to accomplish the tasks of the moments without a single question. I too carry on. But, not as selflessly as you can do it. How do you manage to do it relentlessly? What is that which does not allow you to get tired or bored? I too come close too new or existing relationships. But, either I do not have enough time or spirit to enjoy the same or I come so close that no space is left in between and ends up with a disaster.

So, I am confused whether you are "Little" indeed, as I know that you are not really. You are so "Big" that you are compared or even bigger to the centre of our fate, i mean, the Sun. Even, as I know, the Sun can be compared as a baby to a full grown man while getting compared with some of you. And again, the Earth is a baby to the Sun.  and I am even less a particle in comparison to this Earth.So, I understand, that I am simply no entity to this Sun only. So, how non-existing I am to you. But, still, it is your modesty that you appear to me even as thal small that sometimes I call you "Little". What is the level of greatness !! I simply adore you. You are wonderful. You are full of wonder.

Waves of Life......Amazing & Full of Wonder

I am amazed. I am wondered. I am blushed with the colours of Life.

Even, after crossing approximately half of my Life path, I am still getting wondered about lot of happenings, while trying to understand the dynamism of Life. Am I lucky to be amazed still or I am too foolish that I could not understand it fully yet? I am not sure. But, as the mentors suggest to be optimistic, I take it in a way that, I am blessed to be wondered.

Sometimes, I feel that the Life is a BIG & BIG ocean. And I am only another wave of this ocean - one of such uncountable numbers. Is it a pity to be so common or so normal? I don't take it in that way. I may be only another common wave of this supreme entity, but still I am One. I am unique. This wave is definitely unique, even in this large ocean. I have my own potential. I have my own movement. I have my own flow. Although, all of these so called MY things are only received from the ocean itself and they add value to that ocean only, they glorify the existance of the same ocean only,still they are MINE too. And surprisingly, while every other wave of this ocean is doing the same thing, they are unique to each other. And thus, while somebody looks into the ocean from the sea sore, they are amazed. While a photographer intends to capture the memory, he just goes on clicking his button, because at that particular point of time, he finds every wave a new one, a unique one. But, he fails to recognise which one is better than others. Hence, all of the waves are important to capture then. But, while he goes through all those images afterwards, he probably finds not much difference between all those snaps of waves. All seems to be same to each other. What a great conflict. Again, what a great unification. I am amazed. I am wondered, how to explain my realisation. To Life, all of us are equally unique, equally important yet equally same to each other. All starts their journey getting the power within from the ocean and all comes to an end within the same ocean. No wave can leave the ocean. He can neither get something, which was not there in the ocean, neither it can take anything out of the same ocean. Amazing!! isn't it?

All of these waves contain the same recipe, taken from the same ocean. All of them are equally beautiful, taken the beauty from the ocean. All of them are having the same potential, obtained from the current of the ocean . All of them are individual as well as a part of the great creation. So, all of them are virtually having all the same qualities as the ocean.

So, are the waves same as Ocean?

In a way, I can say "Yes". They are the miniature of the ocean itself. Hence, I can definitely feel that, "I am Life". In Sanskrit, we pronounce it as "Soham", which means "I am the same as He is". Somebody, interprets the "He" as the "God". I interpret in my way as "Life". Please Forgive me, if someone does not agree with me in this.

But, surprisingly I realise "No" too. The ocean contains the waves, but the vice-versa is not true. So, definitely Soham is true, i.e., I am the He. But, He is not all about me only. He is much beyond myself. life is spread much beyond my visibility, my very existance.

Confusing....conflicting.....self-contradicting. And thus, full of wonder, full of possibilities, truely unique. Let me walk few more steps down the path to relate it further..............and I am ready to wait till the end of my path.
