To find the one.....
God and we are 'ONE'....... How often have we heard this statement.
How frequently have we heard this statement..... we all belong to the same 'ONE'....
I started my search for this 'ONE' 6-7 years ago... well, I just questioned, but questioning in itself is the start of the search..... I went from one imagination to another to feel and see and imagine that ONE.
I came across a text in a book named- "Autobiography of a Yogi"... where the author who is a Yogi had shared his experience once where he felt that his own self has melted.... the objects around him had turned into ether... there was no objects around him.. no buildings, no trees , no people, no self, no body.. there was only a feel of ONEness.. everything was ONE...ONE entity.. that set....
The above text gave me an idea, probably what ONEness must be like...... The next time I came across another concept in the book "The Valkyries" by Paulo Coelho. The concept was to look at the horizon always because that expands the soul..... I tried that too, and could feel a slight fraction what the expansion of soul could mean...
But, I still wonder what the ONEness is exactly???... I started this blog with this question in mind, to search for this ONE..... Will this one lifetime suffice or not, is what I wonder to find the ONE.
Just imagining that we all are one is what excites me and give me a sense of bliss whose complete extent I have still not tasted..... How wonderful would it be to feel that ecstasy where all of our souls are one.... and to actually sense that Supreme ONE whose small ONEs we all are...
Even the concept of Love misguides me sometime..... As soon as we utter the word 'LOVE' it spells separation, or it leads to a conclusion of TWO and not ONE, because the ONE needs no LOVE as it is just ONE, but TWO needs LOVE to bind the TWO.
May be I am getting into logic and counter-logic and swaying away from the ONEness I am talking about...... If actually what the Yogi above experienced is what the true ONEness is then I just can't imagine what will it feel to melt down everything in and around us, and feel that oneness. No sorrow, no happiness, no ups, no down, no duality .. Just one.
Now coming to the Path to the ONEness... I think it's once again only LOVE and MEDITATION.... Love will take us closer to the external oneness, and the meditation the internal oneness!!
At the same time, how impossible it seems to keep this objectives high among all the material objectives..... But to attain this highest goal of one's existence (at least I think so) one has to work hard, really hard.

wonderful thoughts. i do agree with the kind of ONEness when everything else looks like an ether and all seems to be one . But as far as my logic goes the logic behind saying that everything becomes one and there is ether all around you is probably that you still see the buiildings and the trees in the real world but the difference is in the eyes with which you look at them. Your vision has changed now,whenever you look another human being you find him to be a part of the ONE and treat him equally alike and respect him and care for him or even forgive him if he does any mistakes to you.If you see a tree you admire a tree for god's creation and love its leaves swinging in the air and you find the heavenly beauty in each and every object that you see ..so all this culminates down into a one sweet single harmony of love for the GOD - THE ONE.And once you have attained that stage there its bliss for you everywhere and the state of bliss is what you call getting close to the ONE.If this reaches perfection than i guess we have realised the ONE. I hope i was quite sensible ..
yes Gaurav.. true..
well said :)
