Life and Light

Life is like a ray of light

Reflects when awakened

Refracts when distressed

Life becomes a spectrum of colours

when touched by the divine

Here is my thought process:

Life is like a ray of light

Life and Light ray have a lot in common

Both begin from a source which has an enormous amount of energy.(light ray- sun, bulb,etc; life - from the maha sakthi called parasakthi)

Both move in a linear direction - in a forward direction

Both luminate objects as they pass through (they light up other objects around them; just as light light up objects, life of one person helps and light up the lives of others.

Dual nature - both have two natures in them.

Light - exists as a particle and as a wave

Life - ups and downs (happiness and sorrow)

Both casts shadows

Light falling on objects helps us to see,

but at the same time will cast a shadow

on the other side; likewise in life

for every action (light)there is an equal

and opposite reaction (shadow).

That is why I have compared light and life.

Coming to the next line:

Reflects when awakened

Here the word reflects is pun intended.

If you consider the word reflects, it has two explanations both can be considered.

Reflects, as in hitting the target and when it is not able to pass through, angles out in the same direction.

Another sense is on reflection of thoughts when you inspect the scenario you are awakened to understand that it happened because it was designed to happen in that way. Both can be connected to life.

(i) As we walk through life, we come across a hurdle, what do we do? we walk back, for example, you take out a loan to buy a car, planning that you can pay the EMI every month, but suddenly you lose your job, what do you do? You sell the car and come back to status quo isn’t it? That is the first reflection process physically , financially, worldly.

(ii) the second kind of reflection is on reflection of thoughts, take the same car loan example, on reflection you understand that, we should not go beyond our means and fall into a trap of debt. This thought makes you understand that life is not the same everyday and there are certain things that are beyond our control. This is the realisation on a spiritual level.

So the word reflects can be used on worldly matters and also on a spiritual level.The thought process awakens you, enlightens you to do the right thing in life.

Refracts when distressed

Refraction is bending to pressure- light bends when it passes through a medium (science) likewise when we are put through a situation we bend we shy away and find the easy way out. Don’t we? Very rarely we counter it and take it head on. For example, when someone advises us on something, or correct us or tell something which we are not comfortable with, what do we do, we move away, we don’t want to make ourselves uncomfortable, we don’t want to understand the problem, we want an easy way out, we refract from the problem, situation. We avoid going to places which make us uncomfortable or talk to people who make us uncomfortable isn’t it? So refracting is our answer to any problem that we come across, hence i made the statement when distressed life(meaning self), refracts.

*Life becomes a spectrum of colours

when touched by the divine*

The above two sentences are an analysis of who we are and our life. This sentence is a road map for all of us.Let us get the clarity on this one.

I am only stating facts here, I leave it to your interpretation.

Life is linear like a moving train, people come in and go out; likewise there are so many people who come into our lives, we think they will be with us for ever and alas, when there is a station, they walk out leaving a void, that is filled in by someone else in our lives and life moves on like the train journey, during this journey, we get hope, happiness, admiration, gifts, loneliness everything it is a mixed bag, we just react to them, we cry, we laugh, we enjoy, we feel proud, but we still miss something, we crave for that something isn’t it? We think we miss the miracle, we miss the special gift, that is because the bag of gifts that we received is for the physical self, for the senses, not for the athma, athma is waiting for the touch of the divine, when the self embraces bhakthi, shreds its ego, simplifies itself, the divine is pleased, embraces the athma, holds it in her arms and cradles it as a mother who has found her lost child, now the athma reacts, opens up, creates a rainbow of colours, VIBGYOR, which is all from one colour white, the colour that we give it to the athma (remember the movies showing athma as a transparent, white robed moving around). This sequence happens only by the touch of the divine. This touch sparks of series of events in us, all that was boring suddenly becomes very vibrant, the flowers are beautiful, the snake looks normal, lizard is no more a scare, a rat is no more a pest, everything looks perfect, no crying, no grief, but you still see, the nature of them, that is why i said rainbow colours, i never said white colour, if it is one colour that you see ,then you are looking at it with all in one nature, but here with different colours you accept them for what they are, be it animals, insects, plants or humans. You enjoy their presence , the joy in life is harvested by you completely, never to feel sad again.

🌹Reflect on your actions,

🌹Refract from negativity

and

🌹Let the divine work on you
