"How big mistake is it?"

Sitting on the sea shore, naturally we look only at the restless waves, waves that travel back and forth without peace. Our vision is limited to the waves. That is why I guess most of the poems on sea, has ‘waves’ as the central theme.

Looking only at the corner of the ocean, we think it’s shallow, restless and unclear. So when we are asked to imagine, draw or describe about ocean, waves are the first thing that comes to our mind and then, sea shore. The ‘restless’ waves and ‘shallow’ seashore.

How big our mistake is, to imagine the ‘restless’ waves and ‘shallow’ seashore as, ‘one big ocean’!

               

     Look straight. Broaden your vision. Envision as long as possible. How majestic is the ocean! How long! How wide! How deep! How clear! How calm! Isn’t this the real ocean? Undivided, deep, wide, continuous, independent. The ocean that has everything within it. Don’t limit your vision with waves, for you may leave without even knowing about the beautiful and serene ocean.

                Similarly, looking at small troubles, difficulties, failures and losses, we imagine it as the whole life. “How big mistake, is it?” They are only the losers, who claim, “Life is pain, hex and, life is full of difficulties”. Remember! They are those persons who never dared to think beyond waves.

             


   If you aren’t blind. If you can see- Dare to see beyond the waves- dare to read, not only the first line of the book in your hand, but through the book till the last line- It is then you can call yourself as someone, who saw the ocean, as someone, who had read a book, as someone who lived the life.
