Becoming You

"So, where would You hide, if i became You"

We keep searching for something that which we can't name. We long for it knowing we had it once...Can't say we have forgotten or lost it ..maybe just distracted. We go on with life pretending that everything is in order, checking every now and then if we are living a "normal" life and yet having this constant urge to divert. But to where? How? we have absolutely no idea...so again we go on pretending that we are OK with the routine..school..family..work...vacations and so on....

Sometimes, we panic as the underlying truth ignites our heart and in its light, for a brief moment we see that this is not what it is all about....its not about jobs, ambitions, relationships, wealth, politics, education, hobbies, sports or religion...it has got nothing to with any of what we have been calling "LIFE" We panic not because the truth is intimidating but because we see how far we have gone astray. How entangled we are with everything the society has built in the name of civilization. Irreversible! We panic because we see HOW simple it actually is while we have made it so complicated. Is it even possible to get out unhurt! Good news is, we can!....bad news is we can do it only one person at a time...never mind how many billions the population of the world is today..we  can only make it one person by one person. Each person has to find their way out by following their own paths. You cant help another to get out...for you are lost yourself and your way out will not be the same for another person. So never drag another person with you for you will only delay them. If you found your way...get on with it as quietly as possible so you don't distract another person from theirs. 

The search goes round and round..takes several turns, ups and downs, falls and rises and eventually ends abruptly where you started...YOURSELF! Then you realise, you are the way out, you are the love you seek, you are the light in your eyes, you are the search, you are the answer, you are LIFE itself. A center of the center which connects to EVERYTHING around you. Then, what is there left to do, you reflect on every leaf, every ray of the sun, every drop of rain, every grain of sand...you feel everything contained in you. You will not pluck a leaf or flower for it is a part of you. You will not kill an ant for it is a part of you. You will not hurt another person for they are all a part of you. You become YOU and it goes on infinitely...you see no end to it. Its overwhelming, mind boggling and beyond what your little heart can handle...yet it is joyous...not the kind of joy where you would scream and jump and hug people...no, but the kind of joy that is so subtle that you will not react in anyway, a smile maybe all you can manage with the calmness settling in your heart, you breathe the universe in and exhale the love in return. That's when you will realise..what you have been searching for is what you are made of ....LOVE!     

Look beyond the illusion of colours and dimensions
and step into the infinite oneness

Love descends upon hearts as light descends upon earth,
if only we learn how to be as receptive and still as a tree
