I was asleep in the abode of flesh, bones and blood. How strange that body
Was living, but the soul, the inner self, was somewhat in slumber.
In the garb of various responsibilities, I played different roles, meandering
through different characters. The plot of life, had many under plots, each
being a story in itself. I was breathing the air which the characters were breathing:
a dutiful daughter, a respectable wife, a protective sister, an honest employee, a
loving mother. For some roles the script was written, for some I had to bake a
new one.
I mastered the accents of different characters. I got drunk with the thoughtless ambitions to achieve different goals. I rehearsed all subjects of mental faculties, and after being eloquent with the term was given different degrees. In some scenes I did impress, some episodes went unnoticed. All thoughts, all passions, all delights , all jealously, all rivalry,
all trials, all tribulations whatever stirs the mortal being…I lived it.
But now, after aching every atom of my body, paralyzed by the real script writer up there
…I sit alone. I did most of what could be done. The sunset is very near now.
The drama is over. there were tense scenes and intervals of relaxation and now my story
will have the inevitable THE END.
I look back and ponder was this the best performance that could be delivered. Well, I,
did my part , the rest the script writer and the producer, created so many unfavorable
Situations. If only I were not sick, not cheated, but it was what was written in the script.
But I have no regrets I did everything that could be done.
Suddenly awakened by a voice, that was perhaps never heard.
“Yes dear, you succumbed to all hurdles which life could give
you. But you forgot the epicenter of life. Your soul. You very well
Morphed from a Human Being to Human Doing. For a doer can just do
but if you are a being , you will realize , life itself is teemed with uncertainties,
its your ability how you respond.”
I was suddenly silenced .I realized I have pointed fingers. But today I finally I am
Awakened by truth..
“I am the center of my life
And like every architect
I built my building called life
And it will stand on the stands of time.”
