On our very click put on search,
Google provides us with innumerable finds. It is because it has got the competence
to hunt for what we wish to locate. We press enter and within a nano-second it
gives a multitude set of results. Some of which comply with our wants and some
do not. The world is just like our finds on this search engine. We wander,
seeking for what stands as the ‘most apt’ in all realms of our living. We rummage
around for everything that we desire for, sometimes for possessions, at times
for people and most of the times for things that can never be laid within our
domain. We want all the bits and pieces to go, the way we want. We want
situations to abide our conventions rather facing them with fervour. None likes
to be dominated or commanded. No one wants his thoughts to be dug aside and
superimposed by others. Nobody wants to hew the ego apart and speak aloud. Perhaps,
our search is confined to our own enticements and we have grown so much
self-centred that our perceptions have taken an absolute indifferent framework.
We need to come out of this egotistical scaffold. Stagnancy in our living is
created only when, we don’t see the diverse hues of human life and it is we who
encapsulate it into discrete packets of egocentricity. Our search should be
beyond. Our finds should not confine human life within the limits of egoism. We
need to heed upon the exactness of our thoughts and renovate it with aptness. We often confuse ‘Self’ with ‘Ego’. ‘Self’ does not represent egoism and ‘Living within
the Self’ is to search for the pros and cons within our own self implying
‘Self-introspection’. To mould ourselves therein is the true essence of
discovering our ‘Self’. But when we see only one side of our outcomes, pertaining
only to our wants, it generates insensitivity and self-centredness. Let us become responsive, let us search for the one within us, which is still latent and
undiscovered, let us find our ‘Self’ and relinquish the wrongs and accept the
positive vibes to create a new world with boundless synergy and joy.
“Search should be within us to explore the hidden, and thereby give a new definition to ‘SELF’ ”.
