Liberty

“A Loveless Life is an escape for liberty.” Its so liberating to love life, to feel enthusiasm and joy, to positively anticipate your future. There is so much clarity in positive thought. The Unknown doesn’t have a foreboding, negative connotation to it. It could be an exciting adventure. The faith that comes along with positive thought allows you to escape the fear of failure, heartbreak, loneliness, depression, anger, angst, hatred, poverty, addiction and all those necessary evils of life. The reason I call them necessary evils is that they are required for us to grow, learn and progress. If a phoenix didn’t grow old and invite its own death by bursting into flames it would deprive itself of the rare opportunity it has to grow from its ashes. To be reborn is to be equipped again with more strength than one had at the time of their previous birth. Is it not then befitting to present bigger stones to pick than before? That’s sustenance. The birth and rebirth opportunity provided by Bhrama, the chance of death by Shiva are the reasons for Vishnu to preserve all that Bhrama and Shiva gathered. What use is the painstaking yet wondrous touch of Bhrama to create an embryo and the arduous gruesome yet beautifully victorious efforts of Shiva to fill up the graves if Vishnu won’t nourish and cherish what conspires between Life and Death and Death and Life? Having faith is knowing that Bhrama will give us the opportunity, that Shiva will come to our rescue when a boulder drops on our path and Vishnu will keep us safe and sheltered while we step forward and give us the endurance to survive with Glory. The three together signify the chant of wholeness and oneness. ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते पूर्णश्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥ ॐ “Om, That is Full, This also is Full, From Fullness comes that Fullness, Taking Fullness from Fullness, Fullness Indeed Remains. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.” The call of the universe precedes and follows the call of oneness. The universe is calling for Creation, Destruction and Preservation to come forth as one. If only we had faith, preserving the exuberance of positive thought would be child’s play almost as natural as breathing.
