When Life Knocks You Down

by Siddharth

When life chooses to knock you down, there is hidden subtle element of infinite love behind it ~

All these years that I call my awakening, were the years when I was falling down with the speed of light, with no grip at all, as if just involuntarily stumbling down into the darkest areas of my sub-conscious mind. Falling brings with it a kind of openness as an abyss of infinite possibilities stare at you, as you fall without any grip into nothingness. Fact is “the deeper you go, the higher you reach“. Even while falling, the whole universe is available to you. Such is the love of life, like the sun never said to earth “you owe me” and it is this kind of love that lights up the entire sky. With no localization while falling, the infinite possibilities instead of materializing take the shape of thousands of voices in your head. Being conscious is the trick. As much as people and society warn you of negative thoughts and emotions, the very transformation lies beyond the threshold of pain. Remember, “There is no melody without minor notes”. Being conscious while experiencing each emotion whether positive or negative provides holistic understanding of reality as all other ways of knowing is mere speculations and beliefs. Experience is the only way to know something absolutely. Once you understand that life is measured through the richness of experience and not acquisition of material wealth, you realize how intricately everything is connected to each other which reveal the interdependence and entanglement of creation uncovering any illusion of separation experienced by us due to our limitation of three dimensions and five senses. If the world is nothing but an objective manifestation of the same vibration, then why would infinity bind itself into finitude? For the ecstasy of infinity can only be experienced within the bounds of finitude. If these doors of perception are cleansed, then life simply becomes a melody, a gift to be celebrated. “We might be born with self ignorance but the seed of awakening lies within us”

What comes out of you when you’re squeezed is what you’re made of ~
