One can talk endlessly about the quantum world – where our gaze is generally tending – to keep dissecting to the minutest of units of thought and uncover more and more of ‘variables’. The variables add a layer of complexity to the phenomenon and attempts to necessitate “control” of the phenomenon by minimizing the ‘gap’/ space or any unknown factor. What we call unknown, is the crux of organic expression of Space. At a quantum level of scale, it is possible to see that space, force and particle appear to be the same or aren’t that distinct. Thus, is it that space itself changes to reappear as Force and Particle? Yes. And so is it with cosmic scale, although whenever we perceive cosmic scale, changes can’t be imagined by our limited minds.

We too exhibit the same tendencies of thoughts – namely from where they come and where they go? What kind of vibrations they create and how that keeps us engaged with the world? Thought and the perception of life (or imagination) is a very subtle thing as compared to body (matter). The difference in any state of existence is in the nature of Force (or vibration).

This took me a long time to realize this phenomenon. We take ourselves or our identities to be sacrosanct and get disturbed if circumstances keep changing before we can even adapt. Much of psychology deals with the nature of thought and the manner in which, our internal perception can change for our better.

Indian philosophy goes a step further and talks about the scope of thought itself and how it can change to reach consciousness. Fundamental to this journey, is the idea of compassion and acceptance of this phenomenon. I don’t really know why I chose to be bothered by what people said and how much I was concerned in proving myself or performing to take their approval. I didn’t value my time or my opinion and placed complete control in people’s hands. All this of course was not required. People suffer from the same defect of striving to perfect themselves at whatever cost, failing to just enjoy the present moment. It is just not required to compete and harbor revenge or stay disconnected. The whole point of living is completely missed – which is to be free and share with everybody, since essentially, there is no difference between anyone. The difference is only apparent (in Name and Form). “Name” indicates the physical difference and “Form” indicates either the nature of object or of Force depending on our own association with the phenomenon. If we chose to concentrate on the Name and Form, we will suffer variable emotional states. If we understand the reasons for the making of these differences and that these differences can be minimized by constant practice, we will reach a blissful state.

This is to be ‘felt’ to believe. Silence sometimes is the best antidote to the agitation of the mind. Reasoning, articulation, argumentation, analysis may clarify things upto a certain point. A state of calmness must dawn on us irrespective of what conditions seem to befall us.

Fundamental in all this, is the idea of trust in us and everyone. Trust, faith and compassion – are very much essential ingredients of life. They are to be practiced time and again to make us peaceful.
