A JOURNEY OF A RIVER.
A river is one we all can connect to easily, each one of us have a vision of the river with our our unique perceptions of the same. Each one’s view is as good and perfect as the other person. One must also know that no two perceptions are the same.
A journey of a river begins as a spring or in the belly of Mother Earth, this spot or place is considered sacred for many in our country. People visit this as a pilgrimage spot to dip or pray to the sacred river. The flow of the river is so beautiful, that the early paths or course it takes it moves with a lot of robust, excitement and surge.
As the River starts to slow down, and by the time the river reaches to the ocean it looks very still and serene or calm, it’s like the river knows and is looking forward to the union with the ocean. Nevertheless, as she flows, everything that she passes has been nourished and healed. Bringing in the required minerals and depositing it onto the bank helping the plants and trees to grow beautifully on the banks of the river. She is not looking for the recognition nor the approval she does her work unconditionally as she moves on.
Even though she gets polluted with all the wastes from industries and homes, we still dump waste full things into the river without giving a second thought every time we visit her, that there could be life in the river which could get harmed by our acts. We pollute and destroy the life without giving it a second thought and as the river actually flows through cities and towns nurturing and chugging along to reach the ocean her final destination.
At times due to our mistakes and encroaching close to the banks of the river we do have floods or at times due to the overuse of water we can have a droughts which could create havoc for us. Though we take nature for granted she does time and again remind us that we need to value everything in life and in nature.
A journey of a river is truly beautiful and interesting when we actually sit to watch as to how beautifully she flows through finding her way through rocks slopes and how she slows down when need be and how she rushes to meet the ocean. She can be silent when she wishes or she can roar when she wishes and also warn us not to take her for granted.
She may have whirlpools within her that she cannot warn us about, we need to be cautious and also know that we cannot take a flowing river for granted but understand the beautiful lessons she brings along to us through her journey from her birth until she reaches her destination that’s the ocean.
She also teaches us a beautiful lesson about time that time flows too and the same time does not come back to you similarly to how she flows and the same water does not come back to the same bank once again but moves on. Such is the journey of time it is like flowing water flowing continuously never stopping. One should always value time preciously and work to being in the moment then in the past or in the future.
Let us bring this beautiful example of the flow of the river into our life and see how we can accept and understand our own flow of life. We complicate and pollute our life with unwanted beliefs and fears which could slow down and bring about distaste and disharmony into our life.
When we understand like the river, our life to is sacred and it needs to be treated with equal amount of respect and love bringing about devotion into the way we look after ourselves.
Our journey begins within our mother’s womb, bringing about an over enthusiastic gurgling journey from being an infant to a toddler still young and immature in life. Life being our teacher we get fine tuned as we journey into our young life reaching out to tell the world all the enthusiasm and excitement that we carry as we journey towards our own destination of life. As we journey on we have twists and turns in our life which could bring about frustration and irritation and when we react very similar to how the river would react. Roaring with anger and spilling all over bringing life to a standstill to many.
As the flow of life starts to slow down with all the lessons and experiences that come our way we slow down looking back at the glorious days when we had the energy to rush and be about bringing awareness to all. Now we choose to be in silence taking in the lessons seeing the way at times we are being used or hurt journeying at times in unhappiness.
The mistake we do is we forget our journey is very similar to the river, though the river has all glory and fame as she merges with the ocean her name and fame is all forgotten as she is one with the ocean. We cannot differentiate her once blends in. We on the other hand, think of carrying name and fame thinking that we will have that with us not once bringing into account that your fame remains back here.
Once you move towards your destination you are just like the river a drop of you being blended into the supreme consciousness.
Then why do we create so much of fuss and havoc here when we are in existence. Making a big thing about everything in life carrying anger grudge, hatred and ready to lash out at anyone or anything that comes in our way.
Can these things help us in anyway?
No
Then why ??
Why the fuss, havoc about everything, like the river let us let our life flow smooth, allowing to flow beautifully bringing a sense of worthiness you one self as we pass many people. Helping them, guiding them accepting the lessons of life coming our way as we keep in flowing. The flow can be beautiful if we don’t cringe or crib, as we carry gratitude which would make it way easier to move.
The river is a beautiful example to understand the flow of life. We cannot slow down or stop the flow of life.
River shows us the importance of not carrying grudge and anger as it holds no consequences.
