Coming Back To Life.
We die many times during our entire lifespan,
each dying moment an opportunity for
something new to sprout.
We must be the architect of our own death – being able to consciously decide when, what and how to change things around/within us – before the opportune moments tick by. There truly is no coming back once death is executed at the behest of karmic wheels. You must then, act a mere witness, meticulously learning from your past – waiting patiently for the wheels to turn, and may be for a moment to rebirth! Life truly is a miracle. We are our own teachers, our life experiences are the biggest lessons we get from the universe. The need is to be consciously aware, and be able to act/learn as demanded by the present moment/circumstances. Under no condition, should one allow his true being to be catapulted at situations where one doesn't belong.
So am I suggesting being a hard-ass and control every moment of your life? No.
We must strive to be mentally free, be able to breathe in every moment, and consciously live in it – right here, now. We must prepare ourselves to trust our instincts, be aware of our actions, introspect from time to time where our lives are heading towards, and always be aware of our bigger purposes in life. There is no fun losing the navigation of your life, and letting it flow without you being in the driver’s seat. Instead of watching it flow with ease, make it flow with ease. Be the architect of your own destiny. Bask in the infinite love and care of the universe. Realize the universe is always conspiring to shower you with all what your soul seeks. Act consciously in deciding what you expect from this one moment, strive towards it with all your passion and watch it being manifested by the playful hands of the divine source. Be present, make love, avoid small talk, embrace conversations, have a smart mouth and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Take chances. Ask questions, make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Let go of what doesn't make you happy.
In the end, all that remains are memories. Act now and carve some awesome ones!
What about the ship we chose to sail till the end?
But, what do you do when it is you, whose mind starts feeding on your wrong doings of the past? Of course it is bad karma! Why wouldn’t it be? You choose to escape from several moments, letting go your true self. You start realising things later, when you step out of your delusional perfect world where you decided to lock yourself in, and throw away the keys! To grieve someone is an imperishable sin. It takes commendable inner strength and divine grace to surmount the grief. Enact, when it is still time! Make amends in your life. Re-prioritise! Learn from your sins/mistakes. You might want to turn the wheels of karma, change the dimension of time, race to the distant past where things were starting to get awful and you were intoxicated in your own dazed state! No matter how desperately you try now, the universe doesn't seem to give you the fruit that was meant to sprout during the spring. That’s how it is. You decide to accept what you get and pray for more moments of divine intervention and reconciliation. To be ashamed isn't enough, unless you vow to learn and carry forward the lessons. Nothing is permanent, everything changes and fades into oblivion! You have to remember to enjoy and cherish the moments while you live them to the fullest, so you don’t have to regret later. What you had was beautiful. What might come to you could be more beautiful. What you leave behind are layers of unforgettable moments outlined with grim realisations of wrongdoings and hurtful vows. Take a deep breath. Be patient. Tune in.
The question still remains as how to fixate the sinking ship? Well the ship has sunk.
What now? Do I take another leap of faith and jump into the frigid waters, where survival seems bleak. No matter how good a swimmer I become, can I cross this river by myself? Should I bare my inner fears? Do I take another chance, or shall I set myself free from the invisible shackles that I dreamt of escaping from. When your life seems fixated at a juncture and it doesn't seem to stride ahead, you must alter your circumstances and seek changes in your journey. Practise detachment. Don’t dwell too much in the past. Look ahead. Embrace your mistakes, bare yourself. End your chapters gracefully. Don’t keep your stories unfinished. Life will knock us down; we have the choice whether or not to get back up. You wish to fix the sinking ship and expect it to brace the turbulence. You make attempts; take the onus on your feeble shoulders. But the ears have gone deaf. Your life seems stagnate now. You take a breath; fixate the last time at the mast, which once seemed unsinkable. You look ahead, staring straight into the shining sun…
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life.
