SELF REALIZATION
Of all the meaningless meanders that the human mind is
capable of, perhaps the most fascinating and inherently intriguing
is the quest for self.
Countless enlightened minds have pondered over it and yet many
more will do it in the years to come. But looking for a definitive
answer to a concept as abstract as the human mind is like opening
the proverbial can of worms. It is a tricky labyrinth- one wrong step
and you don't know where you come from and where you are
going.
Pontificating from the pulpit is certainly not the answer. Getting to
know oneself requires much silent introspection. No two people
are entirely the same. There is always that one thing setting them
apart. That 'one thing' makes it difficult to categories people. You
may be classified on the basis of how you look, where you come
from or what job you do, but your mind is a fortress no one can
breach. And that my friends, is your biggest strength, and your
biggest weakness. I look at myself as a wanderer. To the others, I
may come across as lacking direction. But it is this aimless,
directionless wandering that is my redemption- because it makes
me the person I am. Perception can alter the way you lead your
life, for the better or for the worse. I wander, in search of my true
calling, but with a striking feat in my heart. All my life, all my
struggles have been in the hope of becoming someone people can
know and admire. It is something I pray for to happen. It is
something I am constantly working towards. It scares me to think
that for all these years one thing that I have desperately wanted is
to be different l, to stand out from the crowd, but alas what if all I
can ever be \
