Every new born child is a message from God that he has not lost faith in man wrote Tagore. The quote was sent to me by a dear friend upon the birth of Agastya Noor. I guess even the cynics would admit this, particularly when you look deep into the eyes of a young life. At that moment not a thought is given to what is to come. All you see and feel is the joy of a new life and the incredible feeling that all has to be right. And perhaps what Tagore says is true: it is a message from God, only we humans fail to understand it.
I have been blessed in more ways than one. Over the last 10 years I have witnessed many messages compelling me to believe that even if things looked dark and bleak and even hopeless, God had never lost faith in man. In my book Dear Popples I wrote about the big picture, the one that was always bright and beautiful and near perfect but that we humans were unable to see fully as it extended beyond space and time. Being only able to see bits of it we hang on to the dark parches and hold them as true. Yes I have been blessed in more ways than one as I have been able to see glimpses of that perfect creation time and again: in the little boy who should have died but is today alive and kicking and ready for class II, in the four little children who should have joined the ranks of child labour but are soon going to walk into the portals of a boarding school, in Manu who does not wander the streets and rummage through dustbins but sleeps in a warm bed.
The list is endless and the big pictures enfolds itself in front of my eyes one with almost obsessive regularity. I see it in the reports cards held proudly by those who were once failures, in the first sound uttered by one who never spoke, or the faltering step taken by one who never walked, in the spirited gait and beaming smiles of pwhy teachers who were once only considered good enough to clean homes… actually in each and everyone of what is now known as the pwhy family: a motley crew of young and old who should have lived in the shadows but have reclaimed their place in the sun.
Seems huge and it is undoubtedly. And yet when I look back at the years one by I realise how absurdly simple it is and well within the reach of anyone willing to keep their eyes wide open and see with their heart. The big picture is there withing the reach of each and every one of us. It waits to be discovered and savoured. One simply has to be willing to look beyond today and believe in tomorrow as God has not and will never lose faith in man.
Anouradha,
Thank you for this Inspiring reminder
Truly there is so much to life that is encompassed
and unfolds within each and every moment
that we are all humbly grateful; always and always
It is with the eyes of our Heart that we are able
perceive certain aspects so much more clearly
for what they seek to teach us;
that might have otherwise
been regarded as another aspect;
another moment; another day
It is also seeking to remind us to
listen with our awakened hearts;
Appreciate what we have and
effortlessly express ourselves to the Universe
Inspire the Universe and seek Inspiration from it
There is so much abundance of the richness
the wealth that life endows us with; that is
is beyond any compare
Truly life is amazing and wonderful always
I would wish to take this opportunity as well
as time again, hope; pray and wish that
Each and Every Child is Born Healthy and are always
Blessed with the very Richest of Gifts; Parents
especially a Mothers Love for each and every Child
since there is nothing more precious than a Mother's
Love for her Children
And to also pray that each Child is Blessed
with a life that encompasses
Love; Peace; Hope; Respect; Meaning; Purpose
Nutrition; Education; Knowledge; and Wisdom
Love & Light,
God Bless
Vashi
