What A Design! Part-I

Part-I

What a master plan indeed it has been. It is difficult to come up with another example which would uphold synonym-ity (a manufactured word!) between the name and ‘the’ person’s achievements, in keeping with the same—that is the name. It is sheer poetic justice, to me—a poet’s worthy contribution to the name he came to. It is an embodiment of “Made For Each Other”, the only difference in the use of the phrase, from its conventional usage, is that there is no ‘other’!

Well, well, no more of suspense. The person and the name is none other than William Wordsworth!

It is amazing, if we ponder from the physical plane, “How could this have happened?” And we would say, “What a coincidence?” But life from the bigger perspective, from the angle of the absolute, makes it absolutely clear that there are no coincidences in life, and nothing happens by chance. Rather everything happens as per plan, The Divine Plan, which the mind cannot comprehend.

Just imagine the wonder: the Soul that came to be known as William Wordsworth, became ‘known’ only because of the Worth of his Words, which incidentally is immeasurable. Is it because he was worthy so he became the William Wordsworth, that we enjoy? Which though incidentally he is…why otherwise he would be what he is? Or is it because the Soul had a divine plan to come into a family with an inheritance of the title “Wordsworth?”

It is The Soul that Made William Wordsworth That He IS…and Not the other way round. And The Soul, In and As, William Wordsworth truly lived as The Soul.    

He thus has lived up to the ‘billing’ of this inheritance and even beyond it, as he continues to live in the midst of us all…for All That His Words Were Worth, and Worthy of Being Thus Immortalized…as The Worth IS Unbound, Limitless, Infinite…as The Soul IS.  

It indeed is a Grand De-sign, Sign-ed, by ‘The Designer’, with William Wordsworth being One of The Signature Designs.

Befitting Sequel...Or A Befitting Prequel?

It is an absolute masterpiece from a Master.

Kahlil Gibran On Children

www.katsandogz.com

As it is shared with me, so thoughtfully by my friend, Uma Chandrasekaran, in the context of my 'post', "Whose Shoes Are You Wearing", it is befitting that this be shared with all...honoring the Master and Uma.  I must accept as touched I am by this sharing, I hope that this touches all parents, parents-to-be, hoping-to-be-parents, children too (so that they get over the fear that by following their calling they are committing a crime against their parents)...and teachers (as they have a huge role to play; as friend, philosopher, guide--spotting the spark and its nature, and guiding the student accordingly)...and what we get is all running in their own shoes...neither borrowed nor forcibly worn.

It hardly matters whether the post has been a prequel to this masterpiece...or this masterpiece is a sequel to the post. What matters is that it would be truly befitting when it benefits, as is intended. The benefit is the matter that is wished for  materialization.

With best wishes to all...

Whose shoes are you wearing?

Does somebody else’s shoe fit you? And even if the ‘size’ is same do you feel comfortable in the shoes that are not yours? NO. Yet this is what has been in operation…with people living the lives of others, from the perspectives of all but of self. No wonder life becomes a constant source of discomfort, while the real source of the discomfort is one’s own self. Thus even before one leaves the earth, one has already left it, living as a spent force.

So is it not high time that our education system placed thrust on knowing oneself as the primal and sacred knowledge? True we have counseling system in place but the biggest counsel is within…but that has to be accessed. Once that happens education would be truly educating, instead of a system of piling degrees and becoming qualified, but not educated.

And the parents have to be convinced that the kids are to be allowed to grow, which they can’t if they are constantly imposed upon. Impositions are contradictory to growth, even figuratively. Just imagine, imposition is a force downward on something, while growth is always upward.

None of the degrees would be capable of combating the pathogen—deficient self-knowledge, the biggest knowledge of all.

Your truth, and adherence to the same, opens vistas that were not apparent before, facilitating your growth to unprecedented heights—real-izing wondrous aspects of your own self. That first step, to know the truth of self, and the next, towards it, is all that is required to live out your infinite potential, with ease and in bliss. 

So instead of entering into somebody else’s shoes, be convinced of the size of yours, and check which type of shoes help you to walk with ease. Once that happens, you will in fact, be running in your shoes—even if you are not wearing a pair running shoes!

Warmth of Reunion

A very hot weather can be weathered without using the air-conditioners. But for that the condition required has to be overpowering. The intensity has to be more intense than that of the weather.

And this we indeed are capable of…and do experience to be capable of. Though whether we are aware of having weathered the external conditions is another issue altogether!

As we ponder…we are left to wonder how could we, what we could!  Yes, we all have over come the external conditions without withering even a bit, some time or the other. And some of us are frequently accomplishing that consciously. 

Most definitely the question that is being asked,  as these words are read, could be, “When does that happen?” Well, when we are totally immersed in our being…in our vocation. The time and space then become mere metaphors.

Furthermore, the weather, even though very hot, accedes to the warmth of reunions, punctuated with conversations wherein at one stage everyone talks to everyone, but no one listens to anyone! As the weather accedes and concedes, we succeed in weathering it, even without consciously trying anything.

In both the conditions the external is forgotten, as we then, be, the beings that is not only body and mind, but something greater, which remains unaffected…and extends the same effect to the body and mind. Thus effectively the weather condition is befriended as it then doesn’t affect as adversely.

It is the warmth or reunion in both cases which douses the heat. In the latter, the external reunion and in the former, the reunion with one’s inner self.

It is all about being…and what we are being—whether we are beings of external conditioning that causes the external conditions to affect us.  Or by being beings of spontaneity … whereby we affect the conditions by conditioning it to resonate with our inner conditioning, spontaneously.

We are thus warmed by the warmth of the reunion, instead of being scorched by the heat.

The Creative Content

Link in the 'Not Missing'

When we Miss Not something (someone), it could be due to: either we no longer feel connected to the same, and hence do not wish to mess with, even in thoughts.  Or are absolutely connected to the same, which assures us absolutely that we are never apart from the same. And these two reasons are anything but same!

This  link in the 'Not  Missing' could simply be not Missed!
