Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:They have their exits and their entrances..... These are Shakespeare's wise words. The problem that we face today is that we tend to take this " role " too seriously ! After all this is a cosmic drama and the script has already been written and we are merely acting out our parts . But some where , some time during the process of acting we have identified ourselves with the part and we have completely forgotten about the director .. We have become so engrossed with our role for instance - " Ramesh " son of so and so , holding a mechanical engineering degree , working with a french multinational , so on and so forth .. In this process of identification with the role , we are forced live the life as per the script - laughing , crying ,enjoying while mostly suffering .. All these emotions are basically an " Act " ? The emotions , the reactions , the happenings are all supposed to be only a play , a cosmic drama . Why have we forgotten who we really are ? Why have be become obsessed with part that we are scripted to play ?? How many such roles we have played before ? Yet .. such is the power of MAYA that we get carried away . We have to keep looking out for that elusive Director who is holding all the strings .. and plead with him to make us REMEMBER and RECOLLECT .. rather being stuck with this role playing game which gets wearisome after a while !! love ramesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Dear Michael... Indeed it is natural for the child to suckle the mother...but so unnatural has our lives become.. neither do we realise that we are children nor do we recogonise or feel our divine mother !
