The Last Flame

-

I was observing the candle for quite some time. Something in me got lighted up when I observed the candle. It provoked so many thoughts in my mind. But one particular thought struck me. The thought was haunting me. It was a doubt but could not be answered. The candle was melting away, soon it will melt away completely. The candle was nearing its end, its death. But what about the flame? Does it have an end? The last flame?

Before lighting the candle, there was only the candle, no flame. The very purpose of the candle is to be lighted. By lighting the candle, time starts for the candle. It gets melted away to its end. But by not lighting the candle, the candle will not be able to fulfil its destined purpose. Should the candle be lighted and meet its death or should it not get lighted and live much time?

I think we are like the candles. We could either choose to get light up, that is to live our destined purpose or to not get lighted up, to live many years inertly. I think we should get lighted up, melt away and meet our end. The flame that lights up everywhere, that makes the candle melt, is the same from the beginning to the end. The flame is the same. When the candle meet its end, what about the flame? Does it have an end? The last flame?

Another candle is lighted, but the flame is the same. Maybe the flame is the real candle.

The Will To Protect.

This concept, the "Will To Protect" is merely just adopted by me for I find the importance of this concept as such that it should be the guiding principle for all of us. This world needs this concept for taking care of each other, not just friends and relatives but everyone in one's path, reforming them, caring them, loving them and for the one thing that we are and always will be one. This oneness, this bond which we deeply share with one another is because of the fact that we have a heart and in it we have a thirst for love, and the ultimate contribution for all is to unconditionally love.

Simply sit!

They both took the same path to reach the destination. One guy, eager to get to the destination, ran. The other guy, however, walked, enjoying the views. The first guy reached the destination fast and unaware of what to do next waited for the other guy to come. The other guy came dancing to the destination. "What do I do next?" the first guy asked. "What do you want to do?" the second guy replied asking a question. "I don't know, I've reached the destination." "Then just simply sit" "Simply sit? What do you mean?" "I mean what I said. Simply sit" "I can't. I want to do something." "For what." "I don't know. To accomplish something." "You've already accomplished. You've reached the destination." "Yeah. But I am not satisfied." "It's because you were fast that you missed the point of the journey. It is to enjoy the views. And n

Natural Filtration

The process is vast.  It is so massive and unpredictable that we cannot spot its steps. Yet it journey's through our own thoughts and decisions. Those who live truthful remains successful. It is a devastating process. It is so devastating that we almost get destroyed in the process. If we could know the process prior to its accomplishment then we probably would give up. But we could understand the process only after surviving it. The process filters everything around us. People, places, actions, ideas, concepts, beliefs, everything. It filters everything around us and the remaining would be the genuine remnants of our life. This is natural filtration.
