DAY 1563

In stars and stripes, when stripes are wipe, still in friends

30th July Moses Sapir turns 33 ! To hm we all wish the very best birthday filled with affection and love … enjoy !!

When you tell one lie you needs must lie several. When you do honest, it be the only time. No remembrance, no manufacturing, no thinking back on what was last said, nothing. Just a free fall out of the window or wherever, but carrying always the parachute that spreads, protects, cushions the fall – the fall we must all go through.

The silence of divinity, both inside and outside is at first unnerving. The creator resides inside. Inside this large space shuttle. Space shuttle yes, for in modern times that is the object of closest desire when the heavens have to be penetrated.

Not all then can accomplish this feat of a visit that would confirm once and for all, a value that we have been expecting to know. There is the small matter of training. Years and years of it. In metaphorical terms, a training that takes a lifetime. Each minute after birth is the moment in preparation for a departure ..

“आने के ही साथ जगत में ,

कहलाया जाने वाला ….”

Those prophetic lines from my Father’s works – ‘the moment I arrived in this world, I was labeled as one that would go’

We all shall go, but to go with laughter and happiness would be a complete life ..

रोते हुए आते हैं सब ,

हँसता हुआ जो जाएगा ,

वो मुकद्दर का Sikandar, जाने मन कहलाएगा ..

We all come crying in this world, but he that goes out with laughter dearest one, shall be known as Muquaddar ka Sikandar ; the master or the Kingly leader of his fate and destiny !

But why does all divinity reside in these large structures that peak arrow like to the heavens, on the top … many have given explanation – it is indicative of a heavenly being that descended on Earth and then left … in vehicles that resembled to a large extent the conical figures of churches temples, gurudwaras and masjids. That symbolism has not been forgotten. There are not many believers in this theory also. The shape is more in keeping with architectural effectiveness, than any other. The conical tops have been there for centuries, reaching out to the heavens, much in defiance to the atheists !

The silence greatly more pronounced inside, the candles burnt in thought for those that are not present here. A hushed whisper from hundreds that come into the portals of that, which they believe and put their trust in. A faith, a strength, a submission.

Some in serious prayer, some in silent lamentation, some so moved that they wash away their concern in the gentle tears that flow down.

And within too the disbelief of recognition ! Is it really what I see ? Are you not …? But … never in my life expected you to be here !!

That quick getaway from it all. This cannot be an occasion for making pleasantries or parting with information of residence – it would be unfair to the first address words at the beginning. And so a home, a hospitality, a warmth, a gifted talent of miniature construction, a sharing and then back to the climes … of mundane connections with obstinate pain revivals … strange that it should come from a point that had remained dormant almost. But it did. It shall not deter, it shall not bend nor stop. It shall be borne and adjusted and accommodated, please !!

There is such a joy in the writing of the mysterious, of riddles and hidden words and locations. But I believe it comes to you in phases. There is a time and place for everything, except no one knows what ‘ everything’ is.

What is truly moving and full of emotion is the humbleness of those that meet. In the home, in the heart and in the life that comes together after years of waiting !

O ! Goodness ! The pain reappears in another location ! The effect of travel or walks, or just because it must assert itself, since there had been no attention given to it ! Ha ha .. each being has its own intrinsic strength that it brings to use at the crucial moment. It is the egotistical balance of living. They must have it, it does them good. Expressing it clears the mind and body of impurity.

When you are honest, you never need to remember what transpired in previous lie – the purity of the soul of those that indulge. That offering to the heavenly, that burning candle in not just your name but in the name of those that matter to you, even if they are oblivious of your devotion and sacrifice. It is always better that way … once you speak about it, it loses its intent !

Intention of goodness shall ever be the last to be discovered. In the present, the worldliness awash with modern thought and act, shall forever bring behavioral imbalances.

Intention is a forgotten world. Materialistic times shall make mirth of what we talk think and discover, today.

‘We have no time to stand and stare’

So let the staring be over. Let the devil of realization dawn upon us as quickly as we can. Let us not wait for it to drive up to our front door. Let us instead meet it with open arms at our gates.

And let the symbolism take over !!

My love ..
