On Fire
Today after several months, I finally got an opportunity to
sit quietly and do nothing in the long flight. When I say
quietly, it doesn’t necessarily indicate towards the vocal sounds emitting from
the human face’s cavity surrounded by the lips, but this time it is the
quietness of the mind. The tranquil state of the brain unknowingly opens those
channels where from come the deepest of the thoughts. The silence deep in the
heart is the place where resides the mind in it’s supreme state of solitude.
I was wondering what this phenomenon actually is, how come
sometimes, I don’t hear any noise outside and how come sometimes, it’s all
blabbering everywhere? How can sometimes, one can be so unperturbed despite of
the quaking external events around? Is it due to the happiness….No, it’s the sublime state of serenity, where one finds true bliss. Is it eternal…??
no, probably not. I still have not mellowed to a stage where I can experience “Eternal
Bliss”; but don’t I love this moment when the brain stands still like a placid
lake and thoughts outpour effortlessly in their purest and unadulterated form.
While looking back, lately, 2 kinds of events have always
triggered the eventual achievement of such transcendental form; one is the
event of separation from my family and another, the event of reuniting with
them. Such contradictory events and yet such similar impact….. Well, the impact
might seem to be similar superficially but at the core it has resulted from two
very distinct forces of life. While, between these 2 highs and lows of
separation and reunion (not in the same order), vacillates a whole universe of
emotions; it’s the 2 extreme tipping points where lies the most apt moment to
look deeper into yourself. If one can decipher the individual tendencies and
directions to formulate a workable plan, these 2 moments bring forth the
momentum which can push you to your deeper core self. I, as per the plan
discovered lately, sit silent and try to meditate. The energy once channelized
in the right direction puts you in front of yourself, in no time.
Has it worked for me…. Well, my friends who are known to the
reckless Vishal might easily agree on reading this sober form of the same
person. The right alchemy of thoughts and actions can work in the right way. It’s
like a process where a magnifying glass is put in broad daylight to concentrate
the sunlight onto a single object for so long that it eventually catches fire…..
It seems, currently, I am on fire and the light to wisdom, suddenly is in my hands....
