Dark it is!!
It's been a month since I wrote something. Was it that I didn't live for the last 1 month, or was it that I was on a vacation from life? Whatever the reason may be I was myself a reader in the last few weeks..... Used to go everyday to my own site and look at the same article again and again and wait for the next one, as if some one else would come and write the same. Didn't have the courage to write anything. Don't see any newness in and around me.
It looks like the cow was left tied to a pole and asked to graze.... I have already grazed all the grass that was in that radius of the circle.. Now don't see anything left..... Same friends .. Same days.. Same faces... Same smile .. Same tears... Something putting me into a loop where I start from the point and return to the same.
Its not with me, but with all of us... We are just used to people, places, work, songs, food.. And used to everything else.... We don't try to peep beyond that.... Is there anything outside the window of the room where I live... A loop traps me.. My experiences trap me.. I define myself and comfort myself with what has been happening to me repetitively every second.
Every night the same thoughts come to me.. As if from nowhere... Every morning the same freshness comes to me saying that this day will be new, but the day ends with the same taste.... The tongue has grown tasteless, and does not appreciate the anything else....
Is there anything else beyond this?.. Is there a truth that is waiting for us beyond the window of the room we live.... If yes, what's that? What is that is free unlike me... What is that which sees everything fresh every moment, every second... What is that gives me bliss and smile every instant.... Can I locate it? Can I find it?
How long will I be a slave of miseries... How long will I live in traps?.. How long will I be defined by the way others look at me? I lit the candle but the light is not enough to tear through the thick darkness.... The darkness around me is so suffocating that I can see the candle flicker in the presence of the dense darkness.

I am glad to read you again, and even though I'm also having that feeling that you have described so well... Happy New Year, Praveen, and Happy Something Else... Let us open our eyes in case it appears... :) Maria.
Hey Happy New year to you too Maria.
Hmmm.... so you are also feeling the same... good.... don't you worry it will soon appear .. it will soon be visible.. the light.
By the way... what is "Happy Something Else" ??
:) I was just taking your "anything else" phrase, so wishing u happy new year with its something else... cos there will be something else... for sure. Signing off now. Take care.
OK Maria.... I got it now....
Yes that something else will of course reach me this year... hope it reaches you too :)
well....i believe that you have commenced ur journey to the enlightenment. For the first vedanta sutra tells us "athato brahmna jigyasa"...means "now is the time to ask about the self."...good for you...i feel happy for you.
Hi Shalav,
First Time a reader caught me right.
Yes that's the true motive of this life... to get enlightenment.. How??... time will speak.
Hi Praveen
I want to thank u.
B'coz of u I have been able to get something I had great interest in.
Ya thru ur blog only.
May be u wud be able to guess from one of the comments being posted for this Article.
Let's see if u can guess that....
Hey Garima,
I am glad for you that you got someone who feels the same love of yours for Krishna... See this is what the fact we don't understnd... Everything has a hidden purpose in itself.
The same article that you could not relate to so well and didn't appreciate so much actally made you to meet a person who shares the thoughts as yours for Krishna Consciousness.
Keep smiling in Bliss!! :)
