Fear

When the journey towards one's dreams- one's aspiration begins, it doesn't begin with thunder. It's always a slow movement of air which keeps on accumulating in a small space called 'heart' keeps churning within thin long domains called 'veins' echoing the ear drums from within, putting the sight off and vision on. This journey is unique because it trespasses the fear of fear, there is nothing in the world which can penetrate into that small space of heart and break open the thin long veins where dream flows across. Joy and Struggle which accompany the traveler move him forward away from the past and move him backward away from the future. The traveler starts living in "now". Fear needs a time dimension to exist. It exists before a fighter begins his fight, it might exist after fighter stops his fight, but it can never exist while fighter is on the fight. Travelers who travel in the direction of their dreams are constant fighters, they don;t have a past where they didn't fight and they don't have a future where the fight will stop, they move in constant state of fight. Vanishing of this time dimension creates revolutionaries, freedom fighters, poets, writers, nation builders and every uncommon common being who is unique in his own field. Time keeps moving from past to future, but the traveler doesn't feel this passage. The dreamer lives only in one dimension and that is now, the dreamer sees only  one thing and that is his dream, every nerve,every neuron and every heartbeat just says one thing and that's the sound of dream. No matter what circumstances are, no matter how strong is the fear of failure, no matter how unrealistic and irrational each step appears, the traveler doesn't stop. External circumstances can push the physical person out but it cannot put off the spirit, the will to move on. Fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of being left lonely vanishes when one starts this journey. If at all there is fear, the fear is of most of us not leaving the shore of fear and starting this journey.


Have we left the shore of fear?

मन एक जुलाहा

मन एक जुलाहा फंसी डोर सुलझाना, चाहे सिरा मिले न मिले कोशिश से नहीं कतराना, जाने मन ही मन कि जब तक जीवन तब तक उलझनों का तराना फिर भी डोर सुलझ...
