The dream catcher

It took me quite a while to pull this off, to write my first blog post and come out with insights, revelations and dubiety that we all go through day-in and day-out.

पथ – The Path, I chose this name of my blog site, for - to me, life is not just anything but the path we choose to walk on, a perennial choice that we will have to indefinitely make.

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।

मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥ 2-47

‘You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to non-doing your duty.’

Most of us, especially the ones following Hinduism would have come across this most celebrated verse from The Bhagavad Geeta, yet when the time comes to follow – it just goes abyss and we continue to be living the way we have always been living.

While I made a conscious decision to start my own blogging site, I kept on speculating, wondering how futile it would be. Would I gain monetary benefits? Would I get recognised through this? Would this work even lead me anywhere? Ah! The list was endless.

And then, one fine day, I came across this verse in Bhagavad Geeta reading, with so much ease, answering all my mediocre clouded confusions.

While my primal purpose to start this was to simply show the sunny side of life and create a few happy minutes in the life of my readers. To simply share life revelations, I come across – if somewhere, something clicks, and we connect – our vibes matching to the brighter side of life.

I had to simply but laugh at myself, the book and the insight, both were besides my desk and in my subconscious. Yet, I kept on looking at the other side, awaiting some miracle, some clue, some signed document, that would make me believe that yes, this idea would work, this idea would convert into a successful venture.

While nothing in life comes with guarantee, few materialistic purchases being an exception. Ironically, we keep on looking for the guarantee card in everything we do.

With so much monotonous, mechanical living, somewhere we have forgotten to trust our instincts and keep following, keep doing what must be done. And with just one click, we expect THE fruits we were expecting.

I am simply done with this mechanical, half living state. I choose to trust – my capabilities, my instincts and my faith in the one above. I choose to trust that my life is arching into something beyond this – I, ME and MYSELF. I choose to believe that your dreams have full potential to transpire into reality. Believe – and keep working, keep learning, keep growing and REPEAT.

Do you?
