MY RENDEZVOUS WITH LIFE.

My rendezvous with life...

According to me life is not hazard, everything in life is well planned by some mighty force governing our lives, this world, this universe and maybe beyond this universe. 
Shaking hands with life.
Generally some people do put up a theory that we make our own lives or destiny, well I am very doubtful, all I can say that this statement is not true for me. It was never that way.
 I went, where my life took me. And if at all I did made a certain choice, I fell into an abyss and had to retrieve my steps.
Firstly my choice of studying of proper behavior and search of wisdom in masters course after finishing graduation in sciences surprised me more than anybody else. But my inborn and inept understanding of metaphysics, logic and religion cannot be passed as a mere chance. Though I am quite happy that I did that. Life as a whole would not have opened up all its mysteries unless I had prepared myself for that. I realized the power of prayer in Novice in Nanital, mesmerizing Mussoorie and while in Rohtang pass I must mention here that most hill stations in India have famous old temples in beautiful surroundings. They do appear as an abode of God and Goddesses. I always pay my humble obeisance there whenever I visit that particular place. It has to be seen to believe that how God acknowledges your prayers in his own subtle ways.
 Becoming a journalist was another surprise thrown on me by destiny. I always wanted to be a model, but my parents objected it, so fate opened a new avenue for me to be in limelight. And being a journalist I can get a chance to satiate my that desire, and you can imagine how much I am feeling happy and blessed about that now, and my getting a Gold medal in that course boosted my confidence in my career.
Secondly posting my book "BRAHMAN the ultimate reality" in the shape of my blog posts  TRAVELERS VIEWS  was never the way I planned. I was working quite hard on that book for couple of years. It took me so long as the subject matter is very complicated and I am not supposed to write anything unless I am too sure about it. 
I wanted to publish it on KINDLE but in spite of my best possible efforts, I failed to do it.
Anyways now writing a blog on that subject appears a better option. This way I got the chance to interact with my readers, which would not have been possible otherwise.
Back to my title the word rendezvous means: An agreement between two or more persons to meet at a certain time and place. And in my case it is ME and my LIFE as a whole. All the events, and all the people, who came across including my near ones has left a certain marks, sometimes scares on the canvas of my life. I felt shiver down my spine in chilly chilly Chicago and all the contradictions that present India stands for, cannot lessen my love for my nation, as I have said in essence of India -1 and I got pampered in hasty tasty Houston and halcyon Houston took rest in Getaway Galveston and contemplated in serene SAN Antonio.
 So I moved on, I cried, laughed, feared, disappointed, humiliated and elated with it. But always felt in love with it (life).
Trying to accept life as it comes.
I moved from one phase into another like travelling from one state of mind into another. My journey started with "Amazing New Orleans" representing the sheer lust for life, and treading down the bygone era (Mississippi River). After that I tasted the nectar of metaphysics in the following posts: Metamorphosis in Mount Abu and India calling. My tilt towards spirituality started with my becoming "seeker in part 1 and part 2" from a traveler. I realized during the course that unless you purify your thoughts and actions you would be lost in the "road of self enhancement". I started this with gigantic task of facing my true self or self analysis and then passing the litmus test of bonding with people or coming out of cocoon. I had to take up the next desired step of initiating spiritual journey (commencing the important task). This I accomplished with cleansing my aura and chakras with yoga. I realized during the course that we are all Beings of light moving towards light or BRAHMAN.
I understood the power of "Love" while treading towards this sacred zone.  I realized soon that only love has got the power of putting life into the stones and making them alive. And during my journey, I learned to love, and found this truth, that only GOD can love you unconditionally(pure love). I felt the necessity of GURU in this crucial juncture of my life. In the sheer reverence to the divine power called "Guru", I became a dedicated devotee or as I have written in (UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF GURU IS DISICIPLE). During this inward journey, I understood the power of prayer part 1, and got captivated by the Goddess Durga in power of prayer part-2. I got eventually mesmerized with the allegory used in our religious texts. How the saints at that time weaved a beautiful story around Goddess to make meaning more relevant and simple as I have written in Extended post on Power of Prayer part-1, 2. Allegory explained.
I tried to live my life as a honest, truthful, hardworking and a gentle person. All the venom I faced till now could not change my core values. 
Still a few chapters of my book "BRAHMAN the ultimate reality" are left, so lets see how and when I will finish and post them.
