I fall into such a wild,hot hurry,that however tired I am,I want to walk fast,miles and miles,I wish to get the better of this world before bedtime.At night,I sit alone gazing at the break in the clouds,contemplating that why do I struggle for material things.The time I am wasting in this struggle should be wisely used in search of "Reality." There is a great abyss between the world of fantasies(in which each one of us live) and the "REAL" world.We still run after worldly things not realising that they are like a trap.When they appear we only see their light,not their shadows.We get lost in this light and are unable to locate ourselves.
Our senses deceive us by not giving us a true picture of the world.They excite us and make everything appear so real and everlasting.Whereas,everything is but illusory!One morning I stood in my dressing room.The air was redolent with the smell of my new perfume"Pleasures".I was sniffing the fragrance like an addict who was trying to get a fix.For a stretch of few minutes my senses tricked me.They made me believe it was all real and permanent until the wonderful aroma lost its identity and manifested itself into the same energy of what it was made of.This was a reminder that nothing in this world is real except "THE TIMELESS LORD" or the "SUPREME ENERGY."Just like the fragrance everything will vanish and end one day.
We live a life of complete bliss and strife for things that are not worth the pain.In this strife,we just repulse and crush our better angel into a demon.We flaunt our expensive possessions,the clothes and accessories that enhance our appearances,the cars,the huge houses and all the other luxuries.We never ask ourselves that how much do these things contribute in making us understand the "Ultimate Reality." Even education misleads us.Whatever we've learnt in schools and colleges is not the real knowledge.End of the day,whatever we've learnt will leave us doubting,misbelieving and regretting what we've not learned.
We mourn for temporary relationships,we wish to get back our loved ones who have died,we miss our friends who walk out of our lives not knowing they were just acquaintances.The real friend is "God"....who will never desert us.Nothing belongs to us.I walked on the ground beneath my feet,trying to catch hold of my shadow.Every step I took towards it,it ran even further away.This taught me that my own shadow is unreal and doesn't belong to me.I sat down on the ground.I smiled and my shadow acknowledged me back too.I knew exactly what it wanted to convey-"Don't lose touch with Reality."
