Symbols drawn from Life ~



Ever tried to bring out symbolic meaning from your life? Yeah ? No ? Oh ! It’s a funny game and very interesting too. Many thoughts , feelings , experiences happen or felt in our life which we overlook or don’t go in deep to find out more interpretations and different meanings. But if you try to find out different meanings from the incidents which happen in your life both internally and externally , you may find them as symbols of something more deeper.

In my childhood , I had fancy for Night Sky and Stars , for they would always take me on an imaginative ride , often into a different world . I now feel it was a symbol of an escape from the sinister world in which I found myself. Indeed , a Romantic Escape.

Later in my hostel life , I developed a strong liking for Mornings – they were too sacred , pure, calm and fresh … you could sometimes see through the rising sun , the patterns of sky were so unique and beautiful … all brought a fount of joy n happiness into my life. Liking for mornings was definitely a symbol of New Dawn in my life . I had just come out then from a dark hopeless night of my life , morning infused hope and happiness into my life.

From past few days , I feel Water is attracting me very much. Sitting in a restaurant , when I looked at an aquarium , I actually felt I am a fish and water is around me . When today , I sat for meditation , the image which appeared before my eyes was of a stream or fall  which was falling from the top of a rock and where it fell  the water was stable and deep , around it was a forest and some small rocks on which I saw myself sitting . While chanting the last of Aum , I felt myself drowning in the water. Drowning was not dangerous in fact it gave immense pleasure and satisfaction along with a mysterious feeling. Whole day I could feel the content and silence of that atmosphere inside me. I felt no urgency of expressing myself to anyone. I made no comments on Facebook though I tried to , and wrote no passionate messages , nothing …. Just drowned in nothingness. This I took as a symbol of drowning in the life – as water is a representative of life. Finding new , deeper meanings of life and having a feeling of content with serenity.

Deriving Symbols helped me to understand my present condition more properly. I am hopeful now . I feel I am no the right path . And I am on a new step of learning something new . Looking forward to untie more knots of symbols in life …

Several times I attributed to myself the titles like - Stone Angel, Dark Angel or Fallen Angel - but I could never prick out the fact that I am not an Angel. Why? Why am I an angel? And then it says from deep down, "you don't have to find a reason for what you are." Around 5.20 am , she asked me, "Won't you wish something today?" , I looked up at the dark clouds for a sec , smiled and then nodded hard, " I would , I would , I would." and then I said, " aasmaan ka ek katra , aur wo hissa jisme mera birghtest star ho."   When we wished each other, my mom blessed me with the words, " zindagi ke sahi matlab samjho... ek din samajh jaogi.. aur tab tak samjhna jaari rakhna..."  I am feeling grateful for everything. Everything is so wonder...

Two Hours for Soul

Two hours. Two long. Too much. Yet too less if I sit by a half-closed window and sun rays tickle my eyes play with my hairs and kiss my lips. Too less to thank God for all good he did.  Too less to observe the life as it flows.  Too less to love each moment as it passes by.  We run and run whole life and it is passed in a twinkling of an eye but our soul carries the imprints for eternity. The Soul was an empty vessel when it began its journey but the time allowed Soul to fill itself with pretty flowers, beads, gems and magnificent things. Whole life we keep on fulfilling the needs of body and neglect our soul. Wouldn't it be wonderful to pause for some minutes and give sometime to our Soul.  To observe the cycle of universe and feel yourself a part of it. To rise above the petty problems of the day and feel the magnificence of Being. To fly with imagination to the unknown worlds of fairies, kabilas, gypsies, forests, mountains, ocean. To let the...
