FOREVER.

Ephemerality;

Let our love,

Transcend it; Forever.

The Wordless Language.

Immense joy and merciless gloom.

Destructive despair and glimmering hope.

Reassuring future and gnawing past.

Soothing respite and shattering pain.

Mocking criticism and sincere appreciation.

Faithful acceptance and humiliated denial.

Heart-rending let-down and heart-warming pride.

Fortuitous bounties and annihilated desires.

Miracular revelations and ruthless obscurity.

Real illusions and illusioned realities.

Sin-begotten guilt and mercy-engendered gratitude.

Multifarious emotions; share a single language.

The universal expression. The silent prayer.

A Tear.

LOVE.

I am shocked at the fact that I can come up with such things! :o
Read on...

Let us carve,

A world of our own;

You and Me.

Engulf me,

For Eternity,

In your trance.

Euphony to me,

Is your voice; so enthralling,

Playing love-music.

                                     

Come and fill the space,

In my heart; awaiting it's,

Fair, mystic ruler.

Is it your way of conveying love-

These covert expressions; or my perception,

That we are sailing on the same boat?

So Close Yet So Far...

As I passed by the "temporary resting place" of my grandparents, there was a sudden pang of separation that aroused, in me, .... A longing. A childish hope. A hope that if I reach my hand out for them, I will find them clasping it in theirs and slowly embracing me and holding me with so full of affection and joy that they will never let me go.... 

I know that they are there. Just 20 feet away. I know it! I need to cover a mere 20 feet and I will be there! Near them! Close to them!

Alas! A childish hope it is!

Helplessness creeps in as it dawns on me that I have to travel through infinity after those 20 feet to reach to them! A devastating feeling!

In the next instant, I realize that there will come a day when I too will rest along with them. But, by creating a gap of infinity between the world and me!

The only thing that joins both the dimensions is Infinity. 

Separated and Joined by Infinity!


So close yet so far....


                      So far yet so close...

MIRAGE.

Mirage is what "this life" is. Attractive yet illusory. Promises to meet your expectations and satisfy your cravings but never does it fulfill them. Slowly dragging you towards it, it takes you so far that you lose The Way.

But, it's not late until your ephemerality ends. So when you are face to face with the truth, acknowledge it and defeat the Deception. Expect and crave for The Unseen.

The Reality.

Now, This is What I Call "Attitude"!

“I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind. I should not be ungrateful to these teachers.”
— Khalil Gibran


It is beautiful how these words deliver their message without a trace of negativity. I hope it's not wrong to term it as "positive sarcasm". :)

Coming to the message conveyed by these words, I can decipher two of them.

1. Learning cannot be confined to particular sources. One can learn from anywhere and everywhere, anybody and everybody, anything and everything.

2. There is positivity in everything that seems glum and contradictory.

Not going into the depths of all the apparently preachy stuff, let me just conclude by highlighting the purpose of this post.

Sail through life by learning what you should and unlearning what you should not have.

I guess this sums it all up. And, do ponder over the quote that introduces the post. If you have grasped the meaning of it, then, the next time someone tries to flaunt their  "smartness" ( you know what I mean by that ) in front of you, you know what to do.

Knock them off with yours! ;) 

Believe me, it works! And, that too, with absolute positivity! :)


Stay virtuous. Stay peaceful. :)

A QUESTION-THE ANSWER TO ANOTHER ONE.

Many a time, we find ourselves in situations where silence speaks. Words struggle to adjust themselves to form a meaningful sentence. And, then, all is expressed through silent mutual understanding which is just so beautifully miracular.

Similarly, there arise questions whose answers cannot be put into words. They just have to be understood. Felt. And, sometimes, another question directs us to the answer of such queries. A silent answer to a loud question.

A part of my brain, suddenly, voiced a question that falls in the above category.

What is the name of the relationship that we share with our Creator?

In the next instant, another part of my brain volunteered to answer it (of course through another question).

What is the name of the relationship that you share with yourself?

I think the first part of my brain got its answer. :)

ALHUMDULILLAH! :)
