The Beginning- An Attempt

The Start, the word we have listened so so many times in our life that it is rarely being given even a second thought before pronouncing, we begin a project, we begin to feel love, we begin to hate, we begin to read, though all of these are completely different actions , yet they are bound by a single thread , Begin. By begin we mean some transition has taken place, some relatively old action or old material is overtaken by a new action or new thought or new material which may be superior than the old one or may be inferior. Change is unavoidable, change is the law of nature  and so is the beginning. A famous Roman Philosopher once said “Every new beginning comes from another beginning’s end”. I say there is never an end its only a new beginning overcasting the earlier beginning, in fact the older beginning only triggered the change, showed the path for a new beginning so there is never an end to anything, it comes over again and again in newer form. But what makes the beginning even more beautiful that beginning is now, is at present, is live, is happening at this moment, you can always feel it. But yes to feel the beauty of beginning, the strength of beginning we have to be aware, fully awake, enjoying  every moment passing, living in the present.



We can never catch hold of time or stop time, it is flowing like a river, either we can sail with the river or just stand at the shore and watch the river pass by. Those who are flowing with the current always see a beginning , in newer forms some times a new bend, or curve or steep fall, may be dangerous but who is standing at the shore life is static for them.



But like everything beginning also comes at a cost. Let me explain the invisible cost to you. As human beings we have a habit to resist change, we always tend be at the lowest state, the stable state, and as you know beginning itself is caused by a transition, a change, so it violates the very nature of human being. It always a matter of pain, to go against the very nature. So a cost is there but certainly not over budget and completely affordable.

I am waiting for a beginning, at whatever cost, who knows it may  be around some corner not far away from me.
