THE RIVER AND ME
THE RIVER AND ME
Somewhere Somehow The River takes birth on Earth
I too born in one part of Earth
As the flow continues more & more water collects
As I grew more & more experience collects
River crosses through mountains, terrains, forests, cities, villages
I cross through emotions, feelings, compassions, setbacks, people as body ages
The River journey feeds across, gives life, it enjoys
My journey goes on, feeding family, workers, paying taxes and interests, I enjoy
It just flows, no flowing back, ends up in vast Ocean
I came through, no looking back, end up in death in vast Endless Infinity
Knowledge is endless
Knowledge is endless
Knowledge is endless
But
Enlightenment is anytime

This quote is in continuity of my immediate previous post, “Enlighten Knowledge”.
It is a fact that came to my mind while I was replying to Dahlia on her beautiful comment on that post; she is on my Follow and one of my ardent readers and a very good Blogger friend. She herself has a fantastic Blog worth a visit. Please visit Dahlia and share your ideas and experiences with her.
In regard to the quote there is so much of knowledge to be known but how much are we to know is a big question. To lead a happy life and to cater to our needs and the demands of our profession, vocation or jobs we are to acquire certain amount of knowledge. Apart from that, what is it that is needed as far as to lead a happy life. Questions arise to all – Why is this life? What is this life? For what is the purpose, that we are here, in this vast universe on a tiny planet which we call as Earth? Such are the questions which pester or bother us in life at some point of time. This has been the state of affairs not only now but since millenniums past.
Great men have explored and have found the answers for them; so they have been called sages, saints, rishis and enlightened persons.
Knowledge has been classified as two types. Knowledge that which is concerned to our practical day to day life and the other one is to know of our own self, thereby the secret of the existential.
To know about the transcendental knowledge, there are various schools of thought. Philosophies that preach and mythologies proclaim of certain facts. All these do say and give answers to questions that arise. So, then, which one or to what extent are we to know of these is a big question.
We have to be in the path. Enlightenment may happen anytime to anyone. It may take a second, a few years or so many lives.
Check the Oscillation of the Mind.
Be a witness to the Mind.
I feel some of you are already in the path and have an inclination to the spiritual world or want to know more of the beyond. Everyone in their own way has reached to a certain extent in the path; one needs to meet someone who could show the path further, one who shall throw light upon the way. Apart from your personal study, listening to discourses and/or angel messages there are few more things on the path one can adopt.
I give here below the links to some of the sites that may lead you to your continued studies in the wake of enlightenment.
