It took me umpteen years to start a blog spot of my own. Now that it is in place i would not know what to fill the space with. I have different experiences with writing. At times, the writing transcends my own little self and comes out effortlessly. But most of the time it becomes quite difficult and heavy. The ideas would not find right expression and words just would not form. Why this happens is also not a secret any more.
The other day i happened to be listening to the Narration of the great epic "Shreemad Bhagawatham". The topic was how the great epic came about and actually what it is. When Naarada asked Guru Vyasa to take up the task of actually writing the epic, the Guru was totally perplexed. He was not sure if he could do justice to such an uphill task. The epic is not a story and it should not be taken as one. It is actual "Bhagawad Anubhooti"[ God Experience!]. Vyasa was told to just let go and write. Not for any type of gain or self acclaim. Not to show off his command over the Shashtra or Language, lest the epic find its appreciation only among Scholars. The epic must have an inherent appeal to the general mass. Let there be innumerable grammatical or syntactic errors in the narration of that divine experience. It should only bring out the true motto to the audience.. the divine experience. It has to be easy enough to imbibe and experienced by everybody.
The answer to my dilemma lies there. There is this little self always peaking its head up and fills up the inner space of the divine inside, i guess [ there it is again.... guessing...]. Let this blogging become a spiritual experience. Let there be no material expectations out of it. Let it be for sharing and caring [ the phrase used by m/s Sushmita Sen while winning her Miss Universe Title!!]. Let the little self is lost in writing. May the writing itself transcend the very being.
