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.
