Life, Universe & Everything

Sigh!!!
I awe at the beauty of the human mind.
I despise the frailty of the human mind.
I respect the resillience of the human mind.

There is this story of a monk and his disciple on their journey. They reach a river and at this river is a young damsel seeking their help. She cannot cross the river because the current is too strong for her delicate frame. The monk simply picks her up and in his arms she crosses the river. The monk and the disciple move onwards on their journey. After some miles looking at the confusion in the disciple's eyes the monk asks him what is bothering him. The young disciple says how could you hold that woman like that, I thought you had taken the wow of celibacy? The monk coolly replies I dropped the woman at the other bank, you haven't.

......

How many emotions could be crammed in vast expanse of the mind? Why is it that our emotions are not controlled by us but by our surrounding?

I am amazed how my emotions changed from anger to fear to humiliation to gratitude to elation to comtemplative in a matter of a few hours. It was only yesterday that anger was spewing from my mind.. it was running to through every vein in my body and my mind...

But as destiny weaved its fabric how I realized my folly, it was as if all the walls were closing in but I had that thread of hope to which I clung to for my dear life. There are forces which are more powerful, whose power we can't even begin to contemplate....that ray of light.

And then, the brainwave, It was like clockwork all the pieces of the puzzle fell together as if by magic or have they soon we will know....
