We all, every human being, irrespective of where we live, we all have a city of dreams within us.
Each day, this city decides to illuminate itself or mourn in the darkness. This city of dreams within transit from broken dreams to fulfilled dreams and amidst this transition are some dreams that are long lost and forgotten. There are dreams that are dropped mid way to pursue and build a new city of expectations. We all breath in this city of dreams every single moment - some with teary eyes and some with hopeful eyes.
Is your city of dreams illuminated or have you left it in darkness to pursue someone else's dream?
Light one candle every day in this city of dreams within. It will not just illuminate your world but will brighten up the world that your fellow human beings live in! :)
Sometimes, in meditation, I join my hands (at the end) to pray.
Eyes closed, hands in prayer position and as I begin to pray to God, nothing comes out.
Nothing to seek
Nothing to ask
Nothing to plead
Nothing to desire
Nothing
Absolutely nothing.
The silence within is compelling.
The stillness precedes.
The prayer is over.
No words communicated and yet I sense my prayer being heard and being answered!
Nothing to ask and yet everything communicated.
And that is how, my journey towards nothingness begins...
You and I, creation of the same Universe and see where you are!
And look where I have got myself to be!
You stand still, while I journey forward,
Carrying the weight of my own being,
Twirling and twisting,
Whining and sobbing,
With a hurricane of emotions within!
I managed to break my ties with the Universe,
And trap myself in my own world - a world far away from stillness,
A world within this world that I have created for my own survival.
Yet another day, I will pass by you. I know of that.
Craving for that stillness,
that calmness which I felt in your presence.
And you, you will still stand whist... Sharing your stillness with me. I know of that.
That day, I will hope, my heart recognizes that stillness and reciprocates the same!
Because some day, that day, only you will be there - standing still, and yet attune with the Universe in your own beautiful way.
And I, I will dissolve into that stillness and wish to carry the Universe with me.
You and I, creation of the same Universe and see where you are!
And look where I have got myself to be!
