Someone

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

I dont know among these astological discussions how appropriate is

this posting of mine. Hope everyone will be able to relate to it....

 

I remember one my teachers in school used to say,"when you cannot

decide, when you dont know which path to follow, when you are

confused, ask your 'antaratma'.It will give you the right answer".

I feel everyone has that 'someone' in us , but most of the time we

ignore his voice.

 

SOMEONE:

 

'Someone' hidden inside me tells me not to do this, not to do that.

I am fed up. That silent 'Someone' somewhere sitting inside me

stops me when I run after the glittering and blinding beauty.

That 'Someone' tells me that it's just a 'MAYA', an illusion. It

tells me to turn back as it's not going to take me to the goal I

want to reach....to turn back or I will be lost on my way and will

never be able to come back. But I don't listen. I run after that

glitter. I want to grab it , have it all. I run after it knowing the

result, such is the attraction. I want to return but I am totally

helpless. I listen to my restless mind. It seems the only truth and

how pleasant is what my mind tells me. This running drains me out,

takes away all my energy. I only run and run . I run aimlessly. And

one day when I realize, it's too late. I return but I have lost a

part of my life. That 'Someone' in me is silent. That silence is

deafening and I have only tears to shed. I have nothing left with me.

That 'Someone' again whispers and tells me to get up, to wipe off

my tears and look forward. He tells me to walk on the clean path and

make the best out of what is left. Oh! I am fed up. That

silent 'Someone' deep down is still active, trying to stop me to

run after the past. Oh! Why is it so hard to listen to Him? Oh.....
