Essence
Architectural perspective on life
What is the essence of our existence? We always like to wonder who created this beautiful chaos with everyone around us having their own journey which are interconnected in some other ways. We just don't come from the womb of our mother and seeds of our father but from long line of generations before us. The one virtuous thread that connects us from our ancestral world. There virtues, sins, obligation, aspirations, hopes, dreams attached with us. Who knows this very existence is a curse or a blessing?A series of coincidences have led our journey. Some are our choices, other are seemingly control by some forces, some turn out to be good and other choices does not. Now when we think about them, they were perfectly connected that led to the series of event. Connected by binding thread flowing underwhelming leading chapter by chapter towards our journey. Were these only coincidences just series of happenstances? I don't believe so. There is cosmic power that influence our life in unpredictable and mysterious way. We are just small fraction of bigger story created by someone greater than ourselves and our existing universe. To understand him we should first understand ourselves. The whole process of nature is integrated process of complexity and we are embodiments of it. We can't say for sure this step is right or wrong. Even sometimes misfortune turns into fortune. Everything in universe is connected and co-ordinate as you disturb one string there will be consequences affects around them. That cosmic force doesn't do things deliberately, it happens without a reason. So don't get attached to way things went. Even in getting lost you find some new route. Isn't getting wrong in trying something new is better than getting the same result.Stay curious about things happening around you like a child seeing everything with new perspective without any rules and regulations force by this world. Rules are made for us for maintaining discipline but isn't it fun to sometimes fluctuate it and open new possibilities. There are exceptions in everything. Things shouldn't be rigid it should be foamless and constantly flowing like a river. Even in our miniature art herd of elephants are moving in similar direction but is one elephant that faces in opposite direction showing the importance of exceptions. When you experience exception, you break the rule of rigidity and started to break into new dimensions. You are nothing more than material, you have meaning until your soul stays. Soul moves through body to body it is an endless cycle. The soul become dyed with colors of our thoughts. So, shred your skin and reveal what you truly stand for. Let new experiences molds your thoughts and try to gain different perspective. As B V Doshi says, "The only certainty is uncertainty. We take things too seriously, just play with it as it comes, I like surprises and unplanned situation difficult to tackle. When its all over and look back at it you have one more story to tell."We all need to be aware of the voice which comes from within us. Cosmos have prepared a path for everyone. We are just need to be conscious. When you really want something and the desire comes within the soul; you sacrifice everything for that one thing then you became instrument of Cosmos. We are like everyone else we like to see world as it suited ourselves not the way it truly is. Everything we see is just visible part of reality but there is invisible part that is beyond our perception. But there many instances where we experience something much more than this materialistic universe and get lost in it. Like we have come closer to God. When you have such instances there is spark within you beyond time and you realize everything is eternal. We wanted to have answer for everything but we should respect the fact we can't have answer for everything.
