Sitting in the living room on my dining table i am looking through the window at my neem tree and small garden that seems to place under the shade of my neem tree .This is soothing sight which makes me grateful for the blessings and peace i have in my life .
Sometimes i find myself weird .I feel myself drowned in the ocean of stillness .Like i have become stuck in whirlpool of deadly peace .It is disconnecting me all other bothering feelings inevitably.That makes me feel doubtful about myself. Am i sick to be at extreme peace ?
Should i feel guilty to find such peace within world full of desperation ?
Or i have earn it with constant fight with odds of life and negativity ?
Still guilt does not disappear completely but dims to some extent .
And i am again within whirlpool of stillness .Though query keeps poking my mind ,from where it has come ,this deadly peace ?
Is this worldly stuff or kindness i receive from loved ones ?
Or The" Zero " that always fascinates me with it's nothingness that gives birth to all existing .
Why zero is most attractive number to me ?
Why nothingness has so much appeal ?
Is this world of possibilities springing within zero or "nothingness" that keeps me as deeply " still" from within ?
All i know (now) that it was there within me from beginning but extended by the time and overcame eventually on my remained being belonged to vibrant part of life.Vibrant with dreams and wishes .
I was crystal clear in my longings regarding probable life i had ahead as growing girl then.
Having so less compare to others never bothered me personally . I was content with my carefree attitude .I felt strange fulfillment in the middle of emptiness even.
When i was able to think more clearly in my thirties i felt that desire to feel "close to him"(Lord) grew stronger.
I wanted nothing for myself even then. There was constant weird fear of loosing my most precious feeling of "having him with me " if i wanted world . This desire to "feel close to him " was not self creation .It came along my genes .I inherited it ,from whom i can't say.
This feeling of being close to Him resemble feeling of student who wants to be appreciated by class teacher who he likes so much and adore her effort she put for making him learn stuff for being good human being.
Feeling of "having him" with me felt most comforting when i had less matter or people around. He spoke to me through everything i encountered in life .Nature ,people ,events ,accidents ,incidents and coincident .Each of these thing supported my strength for having faith in Him eventually. Still i know if there was chance for me to get lost in all the nature in world and spend time while feeling strongly connected to him i would have done this .
When i once shared this with hubby he said " it is easy to quit world and stay with him alone but Hard to get in the mess of world and still stay connected to him and live with rules he has set for you as your guardian. This is true test of love that you have for him because temptations of this world are irresistibly compelling and suffering that life bring on you are determined to shake your faith .But without test there is no proof that you loved him truly .
I had to live life of person who is tangled in so many threads that life throw at us as a net to distract us ,captivate us and take us away from him so can illusion and separate us from our actual divine aim of life,
"Observe" "Learn " ".Love "Live " and "Help Others to Live Better if can "
Still i could never discard myself from that feeling that i am tiny part of His eternal energy ,existing within Him ,By Him and pulling towards Him gradually until day i will dissolve in Him once again until He gives me another journey in another shape .So i try Hard to please him by all i can do while living worldly life.
Sometimes when i look at sky i feel that we all are existing within the ocean that is filled with tow kind of energies evidently.
Positive energy and Negative energy .We are left to float among them freely .Our intentions and our tendencies determine our directions which kind of row we will join.
Among the rows of both energies there are places where water of ocean is more thick or thin .And there are whirlpool that wait for voyagers who rush into them blindly .They don't are not meant to let go what is trapped within them.People trapped in them experience extreme pressure of energy whether it is dark or positive .
Those who sail in thick or thin waters live healthy life probably .They don't have to fight with any kind of pressure so they are more relaxed .
People swimming near where whirlpools of energies exist have to resist to prevent themselves from falling in.It is not bad to be trapped within whirlpool of positive energy though balance is always appreciated most by learning that laws of nature offer .
Though how dangerous is to get trapped into the whirlpool of negative energy we all know this. What is the shape of our world today it is obvious that most of us are trapped within whirlpool of negative energy otherwise world would have better face .
I am believer of faith and hope so i hope that not may be all but more people will understand this and will try to avoid this trap .
Planet earth will not be heaven then though but better place where more hands will be available to hold who can fall rather than push to make other fall .
I am sorry if i bored you with my long post today but being honest on my online diary page is must for me .And today words were out of my control .
Actually i wanted to reply to your kind beautiful comments today but slipped away when started to type .

Dearest Baili, oh how deeply moving I found this beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteThat wonderful feeling of being in the centre of "nothingness" is something that I have sought all my life...but only achieved for a few fleeting moments.
I think, perhaps, it is also that eternal searching of the soul for true love and peace that we all feel when we are alone...that originates from that quest for our true spiritual home.
Of course you are not strange, my beautiful friend...are just much more spiritually advanced than most of us. You teach us all so much about what it mean to be human, and about who we really are.
You are amazing!😊😊
I do hope you are all well and happy there!
Sending you all my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are a deep thinker, beautiful post that connected us to the universe today.
ReplyDeleteIn this world of strife and woe, we must enjoy peace wherever we find it.
ReplyDeleteI think in todays present difficulties it is important to enjoy peace when we can.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sending my good wishes.
All the best Jan
Peaceful times are to be treasured and savoured. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYing and Yang as it's known here in Macau, baili.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Enjoy
ReplyDeleteLiving in peace and excessive quietness can even be disturbing, since the human being has evolved in a struggle for survival through fighting and wars.
ReplyDeleteAs an agnostic, I admire (with a certain envy) people who have faith.
I really liked your text, it's magnificent.
Baili, have a good weekend.
Kisses.
Your husband's words were very wise. You were created to live your life not observe the world passing by. If you live a good life and enjoy it while helping others to enjoy their lives you will have lived the way you were meant to do.
ReplyDeleteAs Christine commented above, you're a deep thinker Baili and I too am appreciative of your insights which are so beautifully expressed.
ReplyDeleteThe whole concept of the universe is baffling to me and to read your generously shared thoughts are always so uplifting.
I always enjoy the sharing of your thoughts, Baili. You are a deep thinker and a lovely soul!
ReplyDeleteUm texto cheio de motivos de reflexão. Estar grato pelas bênçãos que a vida nos dá é sempre o começo de uma forma de sentir cada dia que passa com alegria.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana com muita saúde.
Um beijo.
Your thinking is good, especially in the current pandemic situation.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you too, Baili.
Dear Baili, you never bore with a long post, but rather amaze and give me so much to think about. While myself and others write about things we are doing in our daily lives or what we have seen, you go deeper. Your writing is beautiful and always soothing and how wisely you see the world. It is I, my friend, who thanks you for sharing your thoughts so well and giving me so much to think about. Your hubby also sounds like a good man.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear, see and think about your world through your eyes Baili! And how wonderful to have that peace that really does pass all understanding, knowledge or comprehension! I have found that in my Lord Jesus... and I believe that in Jesus there is a completeness of all in this world that mystifies us and concerns us. I love to read your deep thoughts and contemplations, because you speak so eloquently and with great insight into the depths of the soul. Many blessings to you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteHello Baili,
ReplyDeleteIt is good to share your thoughts. These are stressful times and it is good to "talk" or blog about your feelings. Your writing is beautiful, I enjoy reading your post. We must all find ways daily to find peace, happiness and joy. Take care, enjoy your day! BTW, thank you for visiting my blog.
Eu creio que a paz, vem com a maturidade... e com a maior consciência, que vamos tendo da vida, dos outros, do mundo... e de nós!... Sempre um gosto imenso, ler os seus pensamentos profundos, e que revelam grande sabedoria e ponderação!...
ReplyDeleteHoje em dia... há demasiado ruÃdo... que nos desvia do essencial... e as pessoas, tantas vezes, agem e falam sem pensar... magoando-se a si mesmo, e aos demais!...
Adorei o seu post, Baili! Beijinhos! E continuação de uma renovação rápida e sem problemas na sua cozinha! Há que aproveitar o bom tempo, para tal! Tudo de bom!
Ana
Beautiful - beautifully expressed, beautifully felt, beautiful stillness, i understand. thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate reading your thoughts, Baili. I too am fascinated with the "zero" from which everything came. Whatever God or the Creator is, I am sure it is beyond anything we can imagine. I think of your stillness as peace and see it as a blessing truly. Your husband is a wise man. I'm glad that you two found each other.
