What is it that you hold most dear in this world?
We have fires inside us, burning and sweltering, the fire of
want and desire, of lust and passion, of virtue and wickedness. These fires
have fuels, nations and religions, family and friends, ambitions and fame. How
long these fires remain ablaze inside us depends on our faith, the unwavering
faith on what we hold most dear in this temporary, delusional world of ours.
You can see on people’s face when they talk about it, the excitement and glory
on their faces, you can see how possessive they are of what they hold dear,
unadulterated love, their true ambition, they don’t know it themselves
sometimes.
It is not that these fires don’t have a grandeur effect on
the happenings of this world, rather our innermost reactions, innermost
eruptions of lust and desire are one of the defining things that govern what
happens in magnum opus of the Creator. The sparks of loves, the hatreds and all
that goes inside our heart is how this visible world is formed by humans.
Nature on the contrary remains a steady audience of all the mischief of man
always reminding, always standing ironic and still, mocking humans of what they
have truly lost.
There are all kinds of people, all kinds of dreams and
adventures, virtuous and wicked, which are embedded in our souls, to choose is
our destiny and to lull into a willow uproots every moral ground of being. Acting on what your heart points out is not
only difficult it requires sacrifice of what you truly love and what you value
most in the visible world. But once you give heed to what your heart says you
will be free, you will be free from its scorns and the mourning forever. But to
do so requires courage and acceptance of who you truly are.
