Joy of Simple Things

HAPPY DAYS TO ALL !

#catalysm #communication

Obviously The Creator wanted His subjects to have great rejoicing and festivities  with lots of #Colours and #Music and #Dance ! 

So He gave them awareness of:

*Vermilion , Indigo , Turmeric , Henna etc for colour 

*The seven notes of music 

*The knowledge to use metals to shape delightful sounding bells 

*The ability to portray heartfelt emotions through choreographed dance 

*Celestial bodies as inspiring and guiding spirits

And most of all #Seasons and #Nature to evoke all this ...

When He has so thoughtfully provided all these things it is , I think , our Duty to use them and live a life of Joy and Enjoyment !

Rise above your seriousness , cares and egos

Life is a Miracle ?

If  you agree , our entire existence qualifies as a Miracle but it does not suit our Ego to accept this easily .

I think of this World as we know it as a Gigantic Laser Show very intricately designed and executed 

One of the most endearing facts about the Universe (or God )  is that it operates with immaculate precision . The Planets and Galaxies and , I dare say , ourĺ lives ,have charted movements and trajectories , in  several planes of existence , with split second timing .

For this , the structure is built on certain Laws of Physics , Chemistry and Biology which are being unfolded to mankind with diplomatic skill of making them believe that they are the pioneers and discoverers .

To my mind , the most remarkable thing is that even though it is possible for the Creator to by pass some laws He seems to be governed by severe discipline and is always compelled to remain within the frame-work of laid down rules.

No deviation . What He wants us to follow remains for Him too.

Except when it suits His design to provide a Miracle  ........but Even that has to be explained in retrospect !

spark of joy in the middle of nowhere

Each one is born with the Spark of the Creator within us. When we let that spark become a Flame we can be filled with the Light of Illumination ! 

Standed In the middle of seeming nowhere......

During the course of the years I have travelled a lot by road in India and  in the West African Bush at a time when facilities were meagre in the  '80s and  90's. It was the period  before mobile telephony and location aids .

The travel was on motorcycle , car , pick up vans , the back of a truck and sometimes on foot.

On several occasions it happened that I was stranded  in the middle of the night on a dark stretch of what seemed to be nowhere ! Only the sounds of the night and the stillness of the Dark were companions and sometimes the moon and stars if the weather was such and it was the time of the month when they were on duty .

It is incredible how intense ones hearing and sight becomes in such circumstances . 

Then suddenly a pin prick of light appears on the horizon .

Your hope rises that you may possibly get some help . That tiny dot seems to get bigger and you start praying that it's not an illusion . 

As it grows bigger your hope for possible help increases and the joyous relief  you  experience is unbounded as it moves closer with its own accompanying sounds of motor and men .

The joy cannot be described ! 

Cut to present - 

Sometimes in life also there are events that cause such unbridled joy !

The event could be a meeting , a remark , a message , a chat - 

something that acts as a source of light in an otherwise dark and silent world ! 

Today has been just such a day for me !
