"REACHING OUT TO THY SELF...."

It occurred to me when i was walking alone on the beach.....

The cold water washing away my feet...the sun setting down and throwing the mild rays of warmth on me...as if calling me towards itself....the sound of the wild waves was telling me something....what was it...what was i suppose to hear but could not decipher...???...

I could not make out if i was happy or sad.... everything around me was so heavenly that i forgot all the material feelings inside me....i felt so pure...so sacred....where was i..???...why did it feel so different...

I kept walking....walking till the end of nowhere....i looked around...no one was there.....the only thing around me was the silence of eternity...it was a place where i could here myself...my inner voice....

yeah...i talked to myself....it was years that i gave time to myself....i felt guilty for thy self....but now...i talked...and talked till the dark enveloped me in its embrace....i heard myself....it was asking me questions...questions which i had no answers.....

It was asking me why was i being so ignorant...???...why did i never thought about listening to myself even for a minute.....why was i so much indulged in all the things that i hardly cared about...why could not i let those things go away...??...why i cared about what people think and never ever cared about what i think...???....why was i so scared to open my heart to the things that i loved...???...why was i so scared to raise my voice against the wrong that i saw...???...why did i never helped the people who died in front of me because of negligence...???...why dint i provide food to the hungry who begged in front of me..???...why dint i help the homeless asking me for a shelter..???..why dint i try wiping the tears of the orphan crying by the road side....???...why dint i help the old man with a broken stick cross the street..???...and why dint i do all those things that i should have done....

The answer to all these questions was not found...then i heard myself speaking again to my exterior being...

you dint do all this not because you dint cared...but because you were so self involved with everything around you that you have forgotten to see and stop by the sufferings of others...you have just created an illusion of being so busy that now you yourself is trapped in this mirage and cannot see the reality...you have lost in a maze from which you cant find a way out....a maze called YOU....

It was then it occurred to me...that it was not only my voice but voice of all human beings trapped in the same maze as i am....yes people..friends...i am talking about you...every single person reading this...hearing this...that open your mind...your heart...listen to your soul....listen to all the cries...agony...pain...suffering around you...

listen to it patiently my friend and don't be so ignorant....it takes hardly a few minutes to bring smile and comfort to ones who are suffering....

So lets COME TOGETHER and make this world a HAPPY PLACE to live....:):):)
