If
you are sailing smoothly than grab all the moments to be happy at that moment
of time because in this ever changing climatic condition of world very soon the
procedure of “Tide-fication” will happen. I discovered this word called
“Tide-fication”. It has got the similar meaning to the word “Baptism” in
Christianity, which is the process of purification. Before understanding the
word “tide-fication” I take this opportunity to explain the anatomy of this
word. This word is related to life, world and the people around us. In Hindi
the meaning of world is “Vishwa”. “Shwa” means “kal”(tomorrow/yesterday) and
Vishwa means a place where “Kal” is there. A place where there is yesterday and
where there is tomorrow is called “Vishwa- The world”. So the question comes
where is this silly word “Tide-fication” is related to the “Vishwa”. Tide is
the turmoil on the surface of Life
Ocean, and
“Tide-fication” is going through the turmoil. If there is yesterday than past
will come in front of you to create tide and if there is tomorrow than the
greediness of perfection is going to haunt. So the cycle of yesterday and
tomorrow makes this life a ping pong show. It always amazes me why the creator
has not created rewind button or fast forward button in our life or may be a
skip button.
What is your worth? The only
dangerous thing in the whole sentence is the last sign. The sign with semi
circle on head and the shit dot at the bottom. It looks like a hanger saying
“to be Hang till death”. The moment someone put this sign behind you the
journey for “tide-fication” starts. Who are you? Why you became a mechanical
engineer? Is your actions are selfless? Even if we think we have achieved
something in life, some species will still be there to put this sign behind us,
and our mind will start multiplying the signs exponentially, while looking at
mirror, taking bath, eating, sleeping and dreaming also. I never judge things,
so it is immaterial for me to judge the good and bad behaviour of this sign but
this one question mark is well enough to take out byproduct of our mind,
reflections of our thoughts and question the maturity level.
I personally believe there are two
kinds of species, one, being mature and second mature being. By writing this I
am successful now to put the question mark behind you. Your mind is asking now;
“What is the difference in both”? I have experience of meeting people who are
being mature. These people are basically the one who put question mark behind
you in the name of maturity. The famous attitude is “I am so mature to check
your maturity”. And truth is they don’t even know the ABCD of life, stuck in
the “Shwa”, holding the rope of the thing which is going to change, away from
the knowledge of impermanent nature of human, object and situation. They are
finding the raw happiness in pizza without knowing that the pizza came from
wheat grains only. And the best is the whole life their job is to put question
mark only.
Second one the Mature being people.
The only problem with this set of people is the depth of the knowledge they
have. Once some very good saint says; “The problem for conscious man is his own
mind”. Indeed, it’s true. They are on a hunt for knowledge, knowing the life,
getting the depth of realness of this world, serving the people and bringing a
never ending joy in other’s life. But in this whole journey the question putter
species put their question mark here also. People laugh on them, made their
life a mockery in the name of maturity. And then ask; “You are a mature person,
how can you behave immature”. Who will make them understand that A mature being
is also a being, eat same food, drink same water, breathe same air. Who will
make them understand that its not the changing of behavior decides the maturity
of a person, it’s the recovery time. How easily a person recovers from the
mistakes, how easily the word sorry comes from the mouth. How easily anger
turns into compassion, how much aware the person is even in anger ness. And
that is what our scripture says; “The time span of anger for a mature being is
equal to the line drawn on the surface of water”
Whether, we live at the
beach or mountains the “Tide-fication” is inevitable, but the time span of
suffering is optional. Because, tide always comes on the surface of the water,
it can do nothing to the depth. Depth where there is a beautiful life, fishes,
algae and the silence. Welcome this process with open arms so that after every
“Tide-fication” We become a “mature being” and not remain “being mature”.
“Being mature” people will put question mark behind the “mature being” people
but nothing to worry about. Because he only thing which we cannot avoid in life
is the “truth”, the real “truth”. Whether the pain is temporary or lasting for
longer time, the faith should remain intact that “Yes! Its me, Try Me.
