Renaissance…

“The only permanent thing in this world is CHANGE”… You’ve heard people say that before, so have I… I even read this in my XII STD commerce text book (Proud of me. Aren’t you, AVM sir??). These sayings would sound rather cliché until you actually have a personal experience and then finally you can relate to it…
I heard an Angel sing, “The only permanent thing in this world is CHANGE”… I woke up faintly, unwilling to buy the Angel’s words… “Why do people change?” I demanded to know… Angel smiled, holding me in her arms she said, “Change is God’s way of throwing tougher challenges at you… Once you get past these ordeals, God will take you back unto Him…” I looked at her dismayed... “Move on Raji”, Angel said, “and move on unabashed… God is kind and He will always be there with you…”I pondered… I pondered… People come and go; they touch your lives in ways you cannot imagine… “Learn to be attachedly detached” cried the Angel, my soul, my strength, my inner self that I refrained from listening to, when I was carried away by worldly pleasures… I united with my inner being… Calm moments of self-realization… Revelation of universal truth, the way of life…
Mint-fresh gentle breeze blew past me… Luxuriant flowers I can see… Mellifluous voices hushing “Wake up little girl, wake up anew”… A little bird kissed my eyes open…I saw the world around me... I felt like I had a new pair of eyes… Every being welcoming the new me, with open arms and cherubic smiles… The parched land that I fell on and the water-devoid areas seem like figments of imagination now… I have a new life, a new beginning, bigger dreams, tougher challenges, and a whole new life to live… And I am going to live it to the fullest with vigor, valor and victory! Only for myself…. This is my world, my space, my life… None can encroach into my world and embezzle my happiness… I’m a new Rajeshwari now… A Rajeshwari who has just experienced Renaissance…
