Cold planets revolve around the sun,
Millions of years filled with meaningless churn,
Why do things circle around the sun?
Because they themselves cannot burn,
Heat is not even sun’s fault,
He cannot contain that revolt,
Even if everyone can see the bolt,
Not everyone can feel that jolt,
Everyone is born with a little spark,
All living things got that Nature’s mark,
But neither everyone can really connect the arc,
Nor everyone really has the courage to expel the dark,
Those who can hear the freedom’s message,
Have the will to tear down any cage,
For those who are burning with tremendous rage,
Sky is that ultimate stage,
Dull and dumb always swear by the night,
Being afraid of light, believing, this is not their fight,
Those who are destined to be considered bright,
Never ever prefer to shine from borrowed light.
Pretty much self-explanatory poem and I don’t need to shed light on something which is already so bright 😉
Contrary to many people’s belief, the universe is full of darkness. Our existence is surrounded by extreme cold and thick darkness. Even though the mighty sun lights up a few million kilometers around him to keep some planets warm, its light is not even akin to a tiny lamp in a dark frigid winter night.
A true meaning of life should be something similar to the sun’s existence amid infinite shrouds of darkness. I am not surprised that the very first batch of intellectual beings on the earth understood that truth and started worshiping the sun. Veds are proof of that.
Adversities are always going to stay. Forces which try to quell you and make you quiet are never going to quit. It is up to you how you want to carry on that tiny little spark given by nature in the form of life. Once in a few thousand years, someone like Krishna, Buddha or Jesus can turn that spark into a raging fire and be able to melt the shackles of stupidity around the people and turn the course of mankind towards brightness.
In the euphoria of democratization and equality we often forget that the true genius ( not talking about academics but someone with exceptional wholesome development ) is like the sun burning from within. That insatiable fire lights up his existence with infinite joy and unabated enthusiasm. So nobody can ever be equal in that sense because most people are dumb and dull, and like to remain that way. In order to acquire brightness, one needs tremendous energy and that is too much to ask from a normal human being. You can democratize the voting right but there is no way that a society can distribute the power voltage each person carries within.
Only thing a normal mortal earthlings can do is to either remain bedazzled beneath the brightness of such a person or someone can avail that benevolent shining light and go find the next step to reach higher.
