The Moment of Revelation

Our life is a string of moments which signify the transition from present to future. They are the bridges of reality connecting the present to the future, on which the mind walks. Some of those are very emphatic or life-changing, whose magnitude definitively outshines the others. Once the being experiences that change, its perception gets altered, thus afterwards, everything around it seems to have changed in a good or bad way. Every little thing starts to mean in a different way.  For example, the coming of the result for an exam which would be a turning point of one's life if one succeeds. The moment before the result is announced, i.e. the present is filled with anxiety & desperation. The future depends entirely on how you cross that bridge, your outlook towards how you want to live after this moment has passed.  It could be full of happiness & cheers or of sadness & despair. Calmness in the moments of typical anxiety will result in the fixation of such outlook throughout the future. Calmness will make the present peaceful as well as the future, if disappointing, livable. Live the present without the anticipation of future. You wouldn't know when it arrived & you'll still be the same composition, without any wear & tear; a traveler, going towards another wormhole.

A Connection for Eternity

Conception of a new consciousness is the most rewarding of all the creations. It is a rebirth of the mother. She creates a structure which will have it's own cognizance, in which she'll see her own image, her own principles being mirrored back. In this connection of spirits that will last forever, she remains a repertoire of serenity, of hope that flows from her to the child like a warm stream of water, whose source is within her, yet so beyond her. The flow remains steady even when her child is miles away from her.

For her whole life, this very bond will be cherished & nurtured. It will never break & remain invulnerable to prejudices & betrayal from others & even from her own child.

The Mother becomes the first teacher. She inculcates all that is good & bad into her child's tender perception, so he could be safe in matters of choice & decisions.She is the guiding light, in the night that is life. Her light of love & company scintillates into the darkened, secret corners of her child's mind & he reveals to her every happening, every secret & never tries to hide anything. When she talks tough & scolds, it is certain that she'll smile at the end.

To the one that has given us the gift of life, an open sky & a roof. 

May she always be safer & closer than she is now. 

Happy Mothers Day

Imagination is Incentive

Imagination is like insomnia. Albeit it is less harmful to us in long run than the latter, it is a haunting force which takes us places, making our real world drift to shadows for a while. It is a drug for an anti-realist. Although one cannot possibly imagine anything without having given the base to real things first, one is constantly dragged into a world of incredulity, believing what the mind tells us in its subtle and strange language.
A favorable change doesn't come knocking on the door. It needs effort. Before effort, it needs awareness and before awareness, it needs imagination to fuel the search for better. Hope is also directly related to imagination. If we never imagined anything, we wouldn't hope for it to be true.
Take the task of making this world a greener place for instance. To make things right, we would have many ways but to understand the graveness of current situation, we'd have two opportunities. First, to see the jaded reality, the smoke, the vehement encroachments on nature's beloved realms. The next, to imagine a better world, to envision the breezy mornings in the cradle of nature. If we just keep seeing the bleak reality, we'd be depressed & unmotivated to change it for good. There will be no escape. While if we imagine, we'd still might not make this world perfect, but we won't make it worse too.
The light of imagination, is incentive in its purest form, a blessing for a better future.

Terrorism: A Sad Twist of Belief

What we believe about God may or may not be true, but it certainly is an ethical idiosyncrasy. Those tenants of cultural behavior and values make sense. It certainly is the right path, at the start of which stands bright hope and at the end there is harmony and non violence.
What is truth? It is the synonym of belief when it touches the boundaries of submission and interpretation. The problem is, we sometimes fail to differentiate between these terms. Truth is a slave of perception. When the perception of an individual changes, so does the truth. Belief however is the set of rules we follow which are bound to ethics and harmonious life & has nothing to do with change. But belief gets dragged into truth and it is validated all the time. If a student prayed to God to pass him in an examination, his belief will depend upon the testing of his prayer when the result is announced. If he fails in the exam, his belief will dwindle as his prayer was unheard. This is a mistake.
What do terrorists do? They bring their own perception into belief and consider that twisted thing to be the truth and submit to it firmly regardless of ethics. Belief is not specific to religion. It is an element of submission, not validation and certainly not something to be twisted and molded.
