How I meet myself

There are moments in you life when you try finding the true destination for your life. Although it’s not necessary it would come when you are ready. We are always so busy running behind thing that we forget what actually we want. You work hard to achieve something and when you’re done with it you realize this not what you thought it would be.
These things ponder your mind while sitting in a cubical section in library and you see boards of “DO NOT DISTURB!!” hanging all around.
On the contrary life is not supposed to be like this. I believe life offers everyone everything although not in the same time and amount, but it does. What you take out of it really makes the story of your life. And when it throws an opportunity towards you to add a new chapter to your story you should take it and if it does, priorities of other things shouldn’t matter.
And I believe you don’t have to go far away for new things. A recent trip that I made with the YES+ team was I believe a very significant chapter in my life. A group having different backgrounds, cultures, age and religions. The factor uniting us was we want to enjoy life in the best possible way and it is done by accepting others existence around you and find some reason to be happy in the darkest moments of life.
The place was a small village where only way to stay connected with the external world was small gauge railway line. I never knew those thing still run. Riding that small train was fun and there are very few times when you actually feel proud of Indian railways and this was one such.
I know the sense of going out or seeing something new excites us but the smile and happiness that you see on people's faces was the best thing and living one of your fantasies makes you fell elevated and it was visible on each and every face that occupied that 38 seater boggy. You can understand the gravity of the feeling that more than 50% of all the snaps are taken in and around the train itself and the smile width never reduced in any snap.
The place itself was so amazing, simple, unhampered and unadulterated that you are bound to like it.
Far way from all the hustle of city, creamy silence to heal your senses, and beauty to die for are some ways to describe it. Even the people there are so simple that you obviously feel comfortable around them and when you do group meditation there right in the middle of the nature undisturbed and united with nature you actually discover yourself.
At least I did when I sat on the edge of the dried waterfall as if I was sitting right in the middle of hell and heaven. I can tell you that I had never felt this way before in my entire life. A mixed feeling of fear, peace, happiness, elevation, calm, emptiness and filled up all at the same time. These thing makes you realize that there is more in you than what you know and sometimes such experiences makes you introspect on what you have and what are you are running after. You see the true you, not the one who you show. I know there is something divine looking at me and that thing made me go there coz I felt it was very much needed.
Sitting there I realize that I have a aim, a faith, a heart, a life, people I love and a personality and with these thing I can achieve anything.
While sitting next to a new YES+ teacher I felt that when you accept people the way they are thing in life become very easy. Everyone falls so don’t hesitate in asking for a helping hand in such times. We shared our failures she gave me some valuable thoughts to think on. I know she was right. And I thank her that. Sometimes you have to run away for a while to get hold of things. Apart from this it all boils down to the fact that some one you meet just few hours back ask you to smile for a snap then there is something in you.
So meeting a new person is like meeting yourself again through that person. That’s what happened to all of us in gallows of a dried waterfall on a day stolen from my busy life by myself to meet myself again” Hi!! My name is Ignatius Lewis, meet the new me!!”
