Musings on the man who taught me not only to dance to life but also everything above by being all this and more, by practising rather than preaching.

Wisdom of Change


 

Knowledge is one thing, understanding is quite another. Knowledge needs constant upgradation as it is never ever constant in the dimensions of time and space. The pathway to true wisdom is in acknowledgement of the possibilities of the new or the yet unknown.

Wisdom is in knowing beyond knowledge. 

To think universally and act globally; to begin with and see the structure in chaos and relate to the rhythms in nature;

To follow along the infinite beginnings all leading to the same place — ‘Your true self’;

In a knowing that allows you to exercise free will to be who you are;

And that thoughts are but a tool for the thinking, that allows you to process the integration of the self and the entire cosmos.

Self and beyond —  

Is there a distance and a difference?

If so, how far and of what?

Physical and social,

Mental and psychological

We may think immediately.

We may be set apart in time and space, yet we are so similar in vulnerabilities,

Persevering in hope and knowing the truth of mortality.

We breathe the same air, live in the same world.

We learn to see wisdom in change, in the interrelation, in the interdependence, in the interconnects.

So, in the wisdom of the wise, the wiser and the wisest

Is the understanding of the knowing behind the knowledge

To make sense beyond their meaning

And in the knowing, change begets wisdom

To accept from ordinary things can permeate untapped wisdom.

That the ‘ordinary’ possess nuggets of wisdom

In the knowing is the learning.

Then, there is no search, all is within —

The change, the changer, and the changing.

Change is inevitable, but you are the one in charge of how the change impacts you and how you respond to the changes. 

Dare to dance with it! Dance with life!

The Bridge

There is no sight of the other end of the bridge you are on,

But you believe there is another end.

Heaven knows, it may just be a beginning.

It is bleak and blurry from this end.

Given the bridge is aged and countlessly trodden,

It hangs on a hair of hope,

And yet makes up for a path

To the other side.

A journey into the unknown

Taken only in faith and trust

Works to connect the missing link

Between the known and the unknown.

When and if life puts you on this bridge in time

As you stand staring at destiny in the eye,

Take a breath to remember that it is not the bridge you need to put your faith on

But in the heart of the feet that takes the step.

Dedicated to all those who dared to take the leap of faith from the known to the unknown.
