A part of me
not in congruity with a part of me. There comes a time in everyone's life when
one faces a moral trajectory. The human mind is at an inflection point and
revolts to work in tandem with the heart that upholds values, ethics, and
morals so dear to it. The society that has taken the onus of morally policing
us right from our childhood has failed to anchor us in life. When shoots take
roots, values and ethics do not echo in our lives for they weren't firmly
grounded.
Visiting temples,
performing rituals, going on pilgrimages are mere acts of tokenism for we are
still grappling with our prejudices. These activities do not purge our souls of
its ills... be it hatred, despondency etc. Is the milk of humanity flowing in us???
We no doubt live in a physical world but we are missing the spirit for the
body. Certain cogs in the wheels of our existing go unnoticed and thus our very
existence is shrouded in mystery.
We need God to
bail- in, to help us understand our purpose in this world. We need to prevent
ourselves by being one among the milling crowds that throng the temples and
puja rooms to bail us out of our problems.
The mea culpa of the human mind now stands
exposed. The feeble strings of morality slowly face a death in its patronage.
The ostrich finally lifts it head. Does the elephant at the peace table of the
human mind help to resolve the mysteries of our existence???
There was this point of time in my not-so-recent past when this inflection point arrived with a bang.
ReplyDeleteMuch before this, I had been twiddling with the concept of Spirit over Heart over Mind over Body heirarchy and intending to elaborate on the subject.
However, my moral trajectory takes a different path than the one presented above. But, that's another story.
Very well worded, Shy.
