Time is the greatest saint. It goes on and on and on to reach eternity. Nothing and nobody can stop it, slow it down, hasten it, or turn it back from its path. It moves on in its own sweet desired pace, ticking away to glory.
The only truly worthy competitor it has is love. Love and only love. Love is content in itself. It neither has to prove itself nor struggle for recognition. Just like time. And ultimately, it is love that wins. No matter for how long the tireless legs of time keep on walking to reach the ultimate, it is love that outgrows time, outlives time. Through the blue fires of millions and millions of mornings and the dark stillness of numberless nights.Through green springs , sparkling summers, painful autumns, and numb winters. Through many a hide and seek game of the souls. It rises far above the horizons of time. Love transcends time.
Actually, neither of them try to compete with each other, because time is the saint, and love is innocent. But ultimately, it is love that stands- above time, away from time, every time. When timelessness descends and the whole creation dissolves, only Love will survive; as a dry drop of tear at God's feet, as a faint whiff of fragrance of a petal pressed between yellowed pages, as a silvery mist of gathered emotions, as a forgotten melody humming away itself in timelessness......

ReplyDeleteO my friends,
ReplyDeleteWhat can you tell me of Love,
Whose pathways are filled with strangeness?
When you offer the Great One your love,
At the first step your body is crushed.
Next be ready to offer your head as his seat.
Be ready to orbit his lamp like a moth giving in to the light,
To live in the deer as she runs toward the hunter's call,
In the partridge that swallows hot coals for love of the moon,
In the fish that, kept from the sea, happily dies.
Like a bee trapped for life in the closing of the sweet flower,
Mira has offered herself to her Lord.
She says, the single Lotus will swallow you whole.

jack Kerouac said, "All the stories i wrote were true, because i believed in what i saw"
i quoted your passages because i knew those were true, because you knew it.
Those things you saw smacked you on the head.
