We are often paradoxical when it comes to deciding whether man is the architect of his own fate or he comes down on this earth with a written fate and what he begets is thereby his destiny. Though it has been debated through the aeon by men, the only logical conclusion drawn is that our destiny is determined by our deeds or karma. We all come empty handed into this world and leave this world of 'moh and maya' in a similar fashion, carrying along with us only our karma; from the previous birth into the next. Henceforth all boils down to 'tat twam asi' which literally translates to 'that thou art'. what we are is determined by our karma, which as proclaimed by the holy books is accounted in our souls; the only permanence ever found in this ephemeral world.
Our soul is a glasshouse of silence and stillness yet it is buffeted repeatedly by the temptation of maya. A silence which helps dialogue with the inner self and enunciated the functioning of the sub conscious. Search for this silence & stillness has been ever present and eternal. My personal search for that elusive silence & stillness has intensified over the last few months and now as I embark on a journey with an acolyte, which requires intense soul searching in order to inculcate the consonance in our lives, I can but humbly call this experience as full-filling and cathartic.
