Our lives are connected with a rhythmic thread of energy that connects all of us together.

Whenever we lose the synchrony of this rhythm we are driven into the situations that bring imbalance in our thoughts and being.

Will I be happy? Will I succeed?

Will I be recognised for the talent I have?

Should I give up or should I keep doing what I know?

And the doubts would never end. No matter how much we get in our lives we keep craving for more and more...

I remember a beautiful conversation that I had with my mother. My mother was explaining me about how drops drop their “drop-ness” or “I-ness” in the ocean of life.

“The universe is a huge ocean that inhabits diverse kinds of people who bring with them varied shades of personalities.

They are the several drops that constitute the ocean but they become the ocean only when they drop the very fact of being a drop and cohesively embrace the rest of the drops as one big ocean.

This cohesive force is dormant within us and is the rhythm that needs to be discovered.”

Today, as I sit down and ponder upon the thoughts swirling my mind about the likely outcome of the scheme of things that I have put together to develop my career, I realise the depth of those soulful words that rekindle enthusiasm and brightness within me to seek the rhythm that would connect me to the larger whole, a bigger cause and a more meaningful journey that my life could be.

I seek to be driven by that inherent rhythm which cohesively binds me to larger perspectives in life than smaller issues that have very little to do in the ocean of life.

Perhaps we should lift our sights from the micro to the macro and we would find life to be simpler than ever!!

Its excellent !!! I am falling short of words to explain the depth of the same. The thoughts have been penned down so beautifully that I felt I am drenched into the ocean the writer was mentioning about. I felt as if I had similar conversation with my Mother...
