Star Light (Part-2)

 

Drumbeats are coming from a distance, the kind of beats that makes you want to sway to the rhythm or move your head to the beats. There’s something about music it sets you free, there’s something about music it gives you wings and makes you want to fly. It moves you in ways you thought you wouldn’t have, it makes you express yourself in ways you thought you couldn’t have. The drumbeats are approaching, can you feel its intensity, can you feel the sound reverberating into you almost like an invisible hand caressing your soul, and you feel alive like you never have before. There is no denying that music is inspiring, and it’s rightfully said that “Music is food for the soul”. It makes you wild and grips you from within making you sway to its rhythm making you feel like the wind, wild free and ferocious. It teases your senses and at times giving you the goosebumps, remember, how many times have you listened to your favorite song, over and over again repeatedly, like an addiction you take it all in. I feel the universe too is sort of the same, it inspires you through people or when you travel to an exotic country, music, food, cinema or even art. We are all so uniquely different, different things inspires us. Like them drum beats I sometimes feel the universe is drawing our attention to something within ourselves, that sparks a fire within us, that brings a yearning for us to be an instrument like the drums and allowing the universal juice to flow through us and then sending the beats or vibes of who we are to the world. Imagine radiating pure awesomeness all the time, I wonder how that would feel? Can you?

Imagine all of the wonders man has accomplished over the centuries, if you notice only the most exquisite pieces of work may it be in architecture, philosophy, medicine, technology, the arts etc. etc. has stood the test of time. Time will erase us all one day, nothing stands against the test of time apart from the wonders you leave behind to inspire future generations, it’s almost like leaving a time stamp stating that the people of this particular generation belonging to this era of time leave this marvel behind so the future generations be inspired to evolve and blossom to a better community. And through the work they left behind we get a glimpse of what the people were like at that age, what they thought and what they hoped for the planet to be. But the planet also faced dark periods through the ages, it has suffered and has been put to the test but amazingly humans emerge out of it not to barely survive but to thrive prosperously. Maybe some of us would achieve greatness in a global scale or maybe to the point you inspire your country men or maybe just your community in your town or village or just your family. It does not matter at what scale or capacity you brought that change, what’s important is you’ve inspired, even if its just a soul and by that one act you would have started a small ripple in the fabric of time and space for something extra ordinary to occur in the future.

There is a story of Lord Krishna when he was a child, he was wrongly accused of eating dirt and when his mother Yashoda came to correct Lord Krishna for his doing, Lord Krishna responded saying he did no such thing, but not believing the child she asked him to open his mouth and found the entire galaxies and stars the complete universe in Lord Krishna’s mouth. What if, that was a clue the Lord gave us, to tell us that we are the universe and we embody all the mysteries and wonders of it within us. How else would have man evolved from dwelling in the caves to sending launch vehicles into space, how could we achieve such unimaginable feats unless there was some magical mystical mystery in our being. We create things like God creates, only restricted to our potential, but then what is our true potential. Each one of us has that potential but we have lost the ability to see it, believe it, understand it because we stopped seeking it. It is there always calling out to us, speaking to us through people, experiences or even in the drumbeats coming out from that distant drum. You are more than you imagine because you are as deep and wide as the universe something which we cannot fathom. If you think your waiting for the experience so you’d wake up, trust me, it happens a lot in a person’s life. Now its all about responding to that call and taking a leap of faith in that direction, you are just a chemical reaction away to a spontaneous soulful combustion so just decide and let go and watch yourself create wonders.

I hear the drumbeats beating and I feel so alive that I cannot stop my legs from tapping to its rhythm. The hardest part in life is when you’re struggling and you feel the shit has really hit the ceiling, you feel heavy and chained, stuck in a reality you just can’t wait to escape and when hope behaves like a flickering torch light in the darkness of your doom just about to run of its battery charge. Close your eyes and listen to that drum beat and let it guide you, that silent voice that whispers in your ears “Keep Going” listen to it and do what you must. For all the energies you have inside of you, is for you to wield, you will realize that the more you can wield it, you sort of feel like you’re holding the Excalibur of your life and then as you learn to use it, you will also learn to create your world as you please. You will realize the power within you and in self belief the real journey starts. You will realize that you are a weapon that can change your own fate and for others. A weapon so unique that there is only one like you out there in the entire world and in the cosmos. There is only one color to darkness and that is black but the light its more. Light can be broken down to its spectrum of colors, VIBGYOR like we learnt in physics. So maybe there is no one version of the truth and due to our uniqueness we see the truth in different versions, but whatever it maybe go ahead and experience your truth, your truest truth because you absolutely deserve it.

Have you heard about a British soldier named Henry James Tandey  who sparred the life of a wounded Adolf Hitler during the first world war. I guess many would have debated a lot on, why oh why, didn't he shoot Hitler. Well in his defense, who would have known that Adolf Hitler would go ahead and do what he did. Yes for sure Henry could have stopped the second world war but maybe that wasn't natures intention. The sad part is even after his life was sparred Hitler did not change his ways, his near death experience did not transform him to be a better man but he rather saw it as an opportunity thinking to himself "Ha, now I can go ahead with my evil plan". And like all villains we see in movies we saw him fall too. But I wonder. what if, he transformed his life after that incident and went ahead and became the leader of Germany only to transform the world to a more compassionate place. I wonder what that Hitler would be like, maybe he would have grown his ridiculous moustache out completely and wore a smile on his face kissing people and lifting their spirits up, I feel he would have made a very strong awesome leader. But that was not the case because he had his head so far up in his arsch, he was totally consumed by the darkness within him. He wasn't a cesspool of love, oh no, it was hate. You see, if the darkness doesn't transform you for the greater good it will consume you until you're doomed. So don't hide it, ignore it nor be afraid of it, instead acknowledge it, learn from it and embrace it, cause if you prevent it from consuming you it will lead you to the light. 

My Dad used to always say aim for the stars and if you fail at least you'll fall on the clouds. But I'll say there is no limit to where you wish to aim and even if you fail, get back up and aim again. Nobody will understand the battles you are fighting  nor will anybody come to fight it for you. Only you know the importance of it, and it is ok if you feel you have lost too many battles until now because only a few battles have been lost for you still have the war to win. Like I said you are just a chemical reaction away from reaching there and this time you're going to be awake while you fight to win them.
