GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #165

Who we really are….

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #164‘.

Good morning Friends,

The theme of my current music Fest is Kaun (Who),
It is a relevant question for both me and you,
It is easier to see who others are,
But, you really have to travel far,
To find, about your own identity, a suitable clue.

One identity is that you are someone’s daughter or son,
That is, attached to someone but of your own, none.
You can be a dad or brother,
A sister, aunt or a mother,
But, who you really are, by yourself, under the sun?

To find out who they really are, people have spent ages,
And it is not just true of the saints and the sages.
And it has not been a sudden revelation,
That has led to their own salvation,
But, it has come about gradually, in various stages.

Discovering who we really are makes us complete,
In Sri Guru Granth Sahib* it is given as ‘Man jeete jag jeet‘**.
You can’t hope to find life’s goal,
Without looking into your own soul,
Or without paying attention to your own heartbeat.

Takes us almost the whole life to find out….

*The holy book of the Sikhs that was ordained by the tenth and the last Guru Gobind Singh as the living guru.

**Conquer the mind to conquer the universe.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
