BUBBLES IN BABBLE.
TEJINDER NARANG
What belongs to man? Nothing!!
However, all of us remain under a delusive guidance that this body, mind, soul
are “our property”. This body is not by
our choice. Mind and soul also come woven with body. Thus mind and soul are
also not of our selection. How can this trilogy be our possession?
All interim relationships with other bodies
are also made under mistaken presumption that they are the owners of their
selves. That generates hyper delusion.
The body goes through birth,
growth, decline and death—over which one has only a limited control. The knowledge
of physical formation, deformation and reformation of all beings is constrained
by research of medical science. The more medical researchers have discovered,
the more they realize how little they know.
Due to inherent mortality of body,
some religions suggest repetitive meditation on “that I am not the body but the
soul”—beyond time, birth and death. But this meditation is done by mind. Mind
believes “I think (or I meditate)” therefore “I am (all in all), which projects
another deception. How relative and limited perception of mind can be inferred
from the decisions we take in life which often go wrong and we repent. Mind too
creates multiplicity of aberrations.
Then we explore realm of
soul—which is said to empower mind/body. Soul too remains an object of
speculation except that mystics/religions endorse it as part of eternal Divinity.
Even mystics are mystified by riddle of life. In the infinite vastness of cosmic
conundrum, all beings have microscopic existence. Saint Kabir concluded this existentialism as “bubbles”
formation that appear and disappear on the surface of water for no rhyme or
reason.
Bubbles in a babble we are
indeed.
Awesome explanation of our microscopic existence.we really are bubbles in a babble.
