Waves...

"Ripples of thought arise in mind and bring confusion to clear, calm waters of life. Mind in vain tries to catch them with the net of logic and muddies the waters still. It seeks to bait infinity with religion and dogmas. It seeks to measure infinity with a finite vision and claims to have complete understanding. Confuses between infinite forms and loses the vision of forest for the trees. Fights over the debris of words and thoughts floating on waves of time, claiming one to be better than the other, while the vast ocean of truth lies ahead...unexplored. It watches helplessly as the ripples of disturbances it created grow into lashing waves. Where is the peace it asks pointing to the loud lashing waves on the shores. It talks of probability and claims everything should conform to its rules and whims. It sulks and becomes angry when things do not go its way. Torn between ideas of dreams and reality it doubts its own existence and for a moment causing me to doubt my existence. The gaze turns from the play of shadows on the wall to the lamp in the corner of the room, and to my hands that delighted me with their shadow play, the play of shadows ceases and I utter, 'Aham Bramhosmi' (Iam the inifinity, Brihadarnyaka upanishad) ", Jnani thinks as the joy brings a smile.
The Jignasu asks, Who am I?
Jnani replies, 'Shrinvantu vishveh amritasyah putrah' (Hear you child of immortality, Svetashwara upanishad), when the mind ceases its wanderings, and cotemplates on the truth like a child looking into the calm waters of the pond, you will realise that 'Tat Tvam Asi' (You are that,Chanddogya upanishad).
