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 …
