To Let Go…Its a virtue
May 20, 2008
We are in a strange era of evolution – of human consciousness & conscientiousness. The world has never witnessed such an organized movement to liberate the human race of pain, trauma, and soul malfunction.
Yet, there has been never been a greater need for the nirvana of the soul – The goodness all around us is being challenged by the caucuses of evil. Our politicians & religious leaders don’t look beyond their myopic & selfish visions.
Common man is shredded within the turmoil of daily existence, terrorism, racial violence, and other social & cultural maladies. Trauma & Pain have crossed the limits of imagination – and each of these traumatic episodes challenge the sanctity of ethics, honesty, spirituality – AND EVEN GOD.
How does the common man deal with this epidemic of violence, trauma, and misery?
The survival of the fittest no longer describes the challenges of survival. But, the most traumatic aspect is that we have brought it upon ourselves – Wars are waged not for justice but for doing justice to the egos – Religions are transformed not for unifying the human race but to drive a wedge between them – Linguistic & regional differentiation is the patent mode of vote garnering by the politicians.
And as if these external spikes were not enough – We keep running faster in order to find the oasis of peace, but all we do is distort the already convoluted life.
Now, to the question of coping with this pile of stress …
Most of us who have gone through such difficult times know that the human mind & heart loses its elasticity beyond a particular point.
How does a mother deal with the loss of a son in Iraq? How does a family cope with a terrorist attack? Racial violence in Africa? Ethnic cleansing in Zimbabwe? Old couple thrown out on the street by their only son?
No balm or words of solace come to rescue…Human mind finds it incomprehensible to grasp it…
That’s when we think of SURRENDER….TO THE ALMIGHTY.
That’s when the logical mind whispers to us …LET HIM TAKE OVER FROM HERE, I AM NO GOOD!
But, many times, we fail to surrender in time & the soul continues to suffer…
When the Ship’s compass is defunct, It is the winds which will take us to the right shore. If we interfere with it, the ship is bound to drown.
God Bless You!
