Of Love and Light…
If you can just empty your mind for a moment and let the light flood in, you will have the capacity to love the whole world without judgement. Truly love every bit of it and yet be detached from it all.
So today when you look around and you see that you have everything you ever wanted…a great family, fantastic friends, money more than you need maybe, dreams all fulfilled...your heart seems heavier than ever. The pain more pronounced... you should be feeling lighter than the wind right now, but here you are looking at your life, eyes all filled up. Is it regret, guilt, remorse for yourself or may be all of it… It’s a good start I say, for you have finally woken up.
Tucked away in a tiny corner of your heart, trapped amidst a zillion pseudo desires you hear the wake up call of your soul every now and then…a little whisper asking you to give in...yes to give into yourself, to forgive yourself and most importantly pleading you to be yourself.
Strange cause you have always thought that you did everything you ever wanted, everything as it should be…according to the grand plan of life so to speak. Becoming the perfect person …
Have you ever walked up to a total stranger and thanked him / her for just being there at that moment. Have you felt the raw energy of pure love consume you when look at someone during an important client meeting or while chatting with friends or taking a walk or while just sitting in a café sipping your favourite brew…
How often have you dismissed that feeling as a fleeting moment and tried to repress it. Frightened that it might grip you, frightened that you might cease to exist in its power, frightened that it will disrupt your present life… yet knowing that you have never been more alive.
Looks like you become a victim of fear and change…But hasn’t ever scripture since time immemorial, spoken about this love, asking you to give in, surrender to its power so that you come alive and live as you were meant to be…judging no one, loving everyone, being detached and yet being attached to it all.
How long and how far would you run....sooner or later you would have to pause to catch a breath....only to realize that it is the breath you were running from … the irony of it all !
We are so guarded in our love and relationships that we maintain an insane exclusivity under the garb of societal norms. But true love is unguarded, it is omnipresent and if you want to truly be yourself...you have to experience and acknowledge it with every breath you take.
Compliment strangers, talk to yourself, tell your friends how much they matter to you and give them a hug. Ask your family (spouse / children / parents) to give into their dreams and more importantly give each other space to explore and love others rather than being insecure or threatened by it all.
Love does not confine you...It is liberating.
Of course love is blind...because most people love with their eyes closed....Try loving with open eyes and allow the light to consume you...to become one with everything and everyone around you...it's truly amazing!
Next time you feel trapped in a relationship (especially a long lasting one), for whatever reason… say a silent prayer and send a truck load of love and light to the person and move on...
Sometimes in life we have to lose all sense of balance to regain the Balance of Being!!!
Do what you never did before and you will find what you never found before….
Light Always...N
