Maya: The Mystery is good
I heard this name 'Maya' in the movie 'Dil to Paagal hai', I loved this name then as it described 'Mystery' to me, something uncertain, something imaginary, someone who exists or may be not.
Then one fine day, i saw this name on my whatsapp screen 'Maya', i didn't know what to say, The artist in me wanted to explore this word since long, i wanted to hug this word as i totally believed in it, I wanted to solve the mystery, I loved this word from my soul ,
Maya could be loved by all, Maya could be a dream, Maya was beautiful, Maya was a fantasy, Maya was a feeling. Maya was a mystery and i loved the word 'Mystery'.
Maya always reminded me of sea, that something is there beneath its surface, something happens in night under the water of this turbulent and calm sea.
I kept on thinking about word 'Maya' and its mystery. A thought crossed my mind:
Is mystery, a good thing or a bad thing?
There was a fight between Head & Heart, Head said, its bad thing, Heart said, its a good thing!
Head said, it is a bad thing because mystery brings fear, fear of unknown, it destroys planning.What will happen to me in future, will i get a good job? Will i get love of my life? till what age i will be alive? there is a mystery to all above questions & many more, Uncertainty which is termed not good for people.
Heart argued, it is the mystery which keeps us alive, just imagine for a minute its absence, you know everything, there is no uncertainty, You know when you will die, You will know when you will get married, you will know what salary you will be getting at every stage of your career.
Now think for a minute, everyone in the world knows their fate, there will be no life, no passion, there will not be any sense of commitment because you know what will happen to you in advance.
Heart said, the world will cease to exist if there is no mystery.
Heart continued, in absence of mystery:
1.There will be no efforts from anyone for anything
2. There will be no love.
3.There will be no imaginations.
4.There will be no expressions.
5.There will be no fear, no greed
Mystery forces people to live, make efforts to create their own path, it keeps the world going.
Let the mystery of our life guide us, who knows what can happen tomorrow, something unexpected, you may be billionaire, you may find love,
Lets believe in the power of unpredictability, power of imagination, power of uncertainty.Lets not think whatever we are today, will be same tomorrow.
Lets be busy in solving Mystery, lets indulge in Maya.
