Rising Triumphant

Rising Triumphant

Caught in sea of affliction, the tempest storm violently pushed me to shore.

I was battered and worn, my spirit was crippled and sustained by only fragile

slivers of hope.  My mind was bound with chains of frustration and doubt.

Worry, fear and various degrees of self-loathing did I eat of and guilt and shame

became my drink.  I became weary, for all my efforts seemed futile and useless.

My life was being spent like discarded trash.  I was caught in the rat-race of routine,

bound in a strait-jacket, known as normalcy  and lost in the trap known as average.

The pieces of a life that could have been,  lay like fragment puzzle pieces in my hand.

How I longed to be delivered and to be made whole.  Yet  no one could save me from

this maddening insanity.  No self-help guru, no preacher or priest, no academic scholar

could give me a clue as to what to do.  Saving me from myself was not a viable plan, the more

I learned, the less I began to understand.  I sank deeper into a trap filled with promises broken

and dreams unfulfilled.  I lamented and cried about the things that could have been; as I groaned

and cried out for a solution so that I could somehow  win.

     My prayers were eventually answered, my spirit was revived, I felt like a struggling caterpillar that was now filled with hope. A cocoon of faith enveloped me, as I grounded myself in the Word of G-d and continued to pray. Then one day I knew the answer  and what I was destined to do  through the darkness and confusion I once bore I now rose triumphant  , as  I sprouted wings of love, to guide me along the way.  I rejoiced because of this divine breakthrough and now I partake of the Freedom to become all that I was created to be.

    "There are always two I kinds of people in the world — those who pioneer and those who plod. The plodders always attack the pioneers. They say that the pioneers have gobbled up all the opportunity; when, as a matter of fact, the plodders would have nowhere to plod had not the pioneers first cleared the way."

    RAMESH S BALSEKAR –"There never has been me as the doer of any actions. So if you have never been the doer of any actions, then no one else has ever been the doer of any actions either. If doubts arise, go back to the basic. Nothing happens unless it is God's will and the doubts will collapse."

    "The Sun, called Tonatiuh, was invoked by the names of "the shining one", "the beautiful child", "the eagle thatsoars". He was generally represented by a disk, decorated in Aztec fashion. This disk is widely known because it is an essential part of the celebrated monument called the Aztec Calendar, which is simply a very elaborate representation of the Sun."

    "Says Nanak, The Master is a tree of contentment and forbearance; Righteousness its flower, enlightenment the fruit. This tree by joy in God keeps ever fresh and green; By practice of meditation is it ripened. With joy in the Lord is it consumed, By such as dispense the supreme charity of selfless action."

    The myriad forces in India have no resultant pressure, being nullified by being pitched one against the other. Is it not a pity? What is the reason? Because each party concentrates its attention on the faults of its neighbour.
