Obeisance !

On my way to MG Hospital,
Taking the unusual route, the one which I have probably not taken for a century.
And the reason being, the indurated and the pitted roads.
I pass across the temple. The temple where my family religiously visits their Gods, very routinely.
'Their' because, I don't.
And its only after their abundant pleads that I agree to accompany them.
But, this has not happened in the last many months. Many.
Just that they are tired of doing this pleading over and over again.
Or that they have accepted my idea of worshiping, and left me to be myself.
Both have an equal share.And so,I have stayed away from temples.
Not that I don't believe in the Almighty. Its only that I try to run away from this cult of worshiping.
I worship Him, in thoughts.In isolation.
I see Him, in my closed eyes.In imagery.
I pray to Him, in wordless voice.In mind.
I devote myself, in people-less shrine of my heart.My soul.
And I owe it all to Him, in penny-less thanks.

I generally prevent going to temples to just see the God and pray in front of that Powerful Stone Statue.



But, there are times,
when my eyes need their vision,
when my soul needs their purity,
when my heart needs to pour my gratitude-filled blood out at Him, in person.
In a divine place, so truly and aptly named 'Temple'.

Today, was one such day. I turned back to the temple.

Peace, tranquility.
The illusion of me being my destiny-writer shatters.
The truth of my accountability to a Greater Being realized.
The content of leaving myself at His will, felt.

Happiness and purity gushes in.
Recharged with goodness.
Refilled with humbleness.
Rejuvenated my strength.
Reiterated my aims.
And rediscovered the truth of life.
Reborn. Yes, Simply Reborn.
