Isn’t it a beautiful sight to see a prism disperse white light into individual rainbow-colored rays? We can indeed distinguish the unique colors, and instead, we should. There is a question that we need to ask ourselves. What is life? Who are we? We are the people but, who are “we, the people”? Are we the confused white light entering the prism, or are we the happier colored light ray coming out of the prism?
I want to draw your attention to the comparison of our life to a prism. A prism cannot be made from wood. Wood is opaque, depicting a deal cell, whereas glass is agile, and so are people. Let me elaborate.
Dharma and Life
Dharma signifies behavior that leads to the path of righteousness or the right way of living. Doing something worth doing never needs justification. Failures should not be able to deter your confidence. Everybody fails now and then. Nobody succeeds; it is the failure of others that makes the former look successful.
Being pessimistic is not the idea here, but being optimistic about death is no solution. The end is inevitable, but the idea of “wait and watch” is not an option. You can indeed look at other’s prism (life) and enjoy their unfortunate circumstances. You may laugh at it, but the prism keeps on changing time and place with Subject. You may be the next one in line.
Wake up, Get up & Ride through the prism
You are uniquely defined only outside of your prism. On the inside, you always remain perplexed, and other people don’t recognize that. We have to understand that life ought to be colorful, and we have to make a consistent effort to discover what we are made for. Make new friends, break old relationships that are not worthy and make new ones. Let everything enter your prism only to come out uniquely and colorfully.
There may be so many negative thoughts in your mind. But multiplying two negatives give a positive. Your prism may be shattered by circumstances unknown. But, will you wait there and let that happen? Your job, work, friends, relationships, objects of desire, bank balances may help make your prism stronger but remember that your aim lies on the outside! It is the colors that come out of your prism that fill your life and defines you.
Bear in mind that your prism is yours to make. Your prism may be full of emotions, friendship, dreams, successes, and failures. The prism is and will remain active till you can run. When you cannot, it will be broken by “we, the people.” So who are the people? God has created them and will destroy them in their way. Can they destroy your prism? Yes, they can! They are doing it by choking your thoughts, which is what is meant by breaking the glass. You have to continue to be in the prism to be yourself.
Defy conventions, defy speculations ,defy generalizations. Be unique, be yourself!
It’s your life, your prism!
