From the day we step into this world, we seek for dependence on parents, for they stand as our support, then we eventually grow, and our sphere of dependence (friends, family, relatives etc) also grows involuntarily. And in atleast a typical Hindu family, we sit in front of the deities join our hands and pray. What my question is, what is this prayer actually? Is it placing our insecurities about future in hands of someone supreme? Is it to ease the burden of responsibility we hold? Is to blindly follow a religion for it has been believed for centuries now? Or is it to tune down our ego that seems to pump bigger and bigger each moment? Everytime I hear people asking something or the other to god, but explain to me who is this god really? I do have respect for all elders and love for all, but does that inadvertently make me a God-follower, cause who is God? Someone you can’t see, but can feel? Well, that’s actually dark energy, you know… But really have we created some form ourselves on whom we can bundle up all our worries, insecurities and uncertainties? Why then is astrology so famous? Because we find it easier to blame someone else for things we did, politics is a wonderful example, also “Pechle Janam ka Raaz” series and God is always there to take in your blame rubbish, but somehow we lose one major part of ourselves, we lose our character that is the ability to own up responsibility responsibly. Why then Indians have such a big character-problem, well of course there are many reasons too, like over-population etc. But it’s just one of my theories you see.
Well, I think if something happens, it just happens, things don’t go about the way you set your expectations, of course, you can do your best in order to achieve high probability of what you want, but what you want is not always what you get. And that’s the beauty, the uncertainties that make life such an exciting adventure: exciting, thrilling, ecstatic. But if you do pursue what you really want with utmost desire, your brain automatically starts to work in a similar process, chemicals I guess and alas! A eureka moment shall be on its way. It’s difficult to understand how the brain works, but surely introspection highlights our hindsight knowledge about things within us and around us. But really sometimes, things just happen in such a way, that we are left clueless why they should’ve happened, but after years or so, sometimes when we introspect we are just amazed by the beautiful pattern that was created, as though we were the ponds of a chess game and someone else was playing with us perfectly fine.
Or maybe that’s just an extrapolation of my logic; to the wonderful things life gifts us each day. Sometimes; a bird’s rhythmic chirp, the cold blow of air swishing past your cheeks, drops of shower that tickle through your skin, an ant’s amusing behavior, the delicacy of petals that hang by a flower, peace in solidarity, flow of paint through the blank sheet, the cuteness of a little puppy, the weightlessness in deep waters, the sense of belonging when you’re surrounded by green woods, the carpet of flowers and leaves during autumn: well, all of these are just a small list of the infinite things that make you just happy, innocently happy, wonderfully happy, just plain happy which makes you smile, and laugh a little laugh involuntarily. Because sometimes you just feel, you’re a part of this beautiful cosmos, and you’re an entity of this cosmos; or maybe even when you’re not really thinking, it’s just an overwhelming feeling. Oh! Then comes the adrenalin rush: the excitement, the high: biking through steep slopes of a mountain, bungee-jumping, para-gliding, rafting through ice-cold ruffling waters, tackling the football past several defenders and scoring the crucial goal, excitement when you look up at the Hubble images of the cosmos or just plain exhilaration in understanding the mysteries of particle physics, or the feeling of skipping a heartbeat when you were talking to someone: now this too is a small list of many other things that make you feel on a high, excited and thrilled, I believe it’s mainly because of the large amount of uncertain factor that makes it special. So thus this human brain is certainly complicated, weirdly wired, incomprehensive, and interesting. And it prevents me from analyzing it further, rather confuses me as to what it is, how and why?
All I’m left to say is, we are who we are, we do shape ourselves, and believe it or not but we do have an inbuilt consciousness, that helps us guide through difficult times, and I don’t see a reason as to why should we have to depend on someone else, we should be responsible enough to handle our responsibilities effectively. Well, if you ask me what are these responsibilities, then you should go ahead and ask yourself aka introspect, consciousness shall guide you, just keep that flame burning, principles stand strong, they shall be with you to the very end. The light, the flame is within you, don’t extinguish or ignore it. Carpe-diem!!! ^_^
