Beyond Completion

Human relationships are very fragile. One needs to nurture them with care, wash them until it shines and place them in a most sacred place, your heart.

You break it, it never remains the same. Let us say you have broken it and caused hurt or discomfort. First thing you will do is apologize and take a vow to change yourself and complete with her. But still, I say it is never the same again.

For example, a piece of Glass Bowl in your home may be which you cherish the most, happens to breakdown. Something so important and so precious to you has broken down without your awareness. After you realize you will do all the possible things to fix it up with fevicol or glue bring it back to its original shape. But my dear the initial beauty is lost. It is gone and will never come back. Or you may go out and buy another one which looks like the one you had. But it is still not the same one. Your mind will keep going back to the old one. Even after mending it.

To be in this state of nurturing and to be in the state of love always requires tremendous amount of awareness. All of us are in the state of sleep, deep slumber. All of us are so caught up with the things we are doing or the work we are involved in, that even to take a moment to become aware and nurture something that is so precious to us seems difficult. I am sure many of you will say “but I am doing so much, go to work, keep the house, pay the bills etc. but relationships… well, others have to take care… since I am doing so much”. I say may be others too have to take care but that is not your problem. At the end of the day if you are not complete with your self then it bothers you and not others. At the end of the day when you are conversing with the God almighty, don’t you want to be proudly saying that, “God, guess what today I changed myself a little bit more. Thank you for the gift of awareness”. You will definitely not feel proud in saying “God, guess what I changed my child today or my wife or my husband”. For this God may say “Hey, wait a minute, I thought that was my job”.

Meditate… Remain in your inner Silence… Wake yourself every moment, take a moment and say “I am aware” and ask yourself these questions “what is important to me at this moment?”; “The work I am doing or my relationship with my child or spouse or collegue or parents or even a perfect stranger”.

Living in the state of total awareness helps you achieve many things in life infact I would say ‘it helps you achieve your life back’. Remember relationships are like a Glass Bowl. Being in the state of awareness is going beyond just completion…
