life is beautiful

I used to think that God was confusing and confused, but now at least I am confirmed on one thing , that, it is true for at least his creations....
Just when you thought the life has finished... nothing remains to wish for, a new sky comes up.. a new light... brighter than the last... beautiful than what you ever imagined....
Life has so many facet... and it was only yesterday, that I thought I have seen it all.. and today I see a new horizon..... perhaps this is what God try to convey .. when we restrict ourselves to limited capabilities and mundane things we loose sight of many horizons. This life is for many more horizons to be conquered.Many more aspects of oneself to be discovered......

Freedom.......

Chiru aged 10 years loved his pet swan very much. His love for the swan grew so much so that his father could make him do anything by threatening the safety of the swan. Chiru used to do anything and everything… so much so that his days and night were busy securing the swan … his thoughts and prayers directed to only one thing, the security of his swan. And so his father was gaining more and more power over him… One day when Chiru’s father came back from the office he found that chiru had killed the swan….. Chiru was free and happy……

When I read the story years ago, my heart had turned in anguish for the boy…he had to chose between greater pain. But years after... I realize it was not the choice between greater pain but towards freedom for ever. I had read about witness state which leads to eternal happiness but I think it is the ‘Freedom’ that makes one happy eternally. Bhagvat Geeta may say anything but what life has taught me is that freedom brings you at peace. Many a times we feel that if the swan is harmed, life has no meaning but surprisingly when the swan is no more, soul is at rest and peace. When all is lost and nothing remain to lose..one is at peace.. divine peace from inside… all restless ends for ever. Then you realize, what you were holding dear unnecessarily, which was not only unnecessary but worth losing long ago for the happiness you experience after loosing it. A serene calm, calm not like the lull before the storm but the calm which oozes out of the touch of a mother who makes the baby sleep peacefully.This peace and happiness is simply inexplicable…
