The Importance of Blowing Bubbles : The Young India

Kartikey Sehgal

(The author states that, “You may dream of aeons of bliss for mankind but your nature will stop you from achieving your goal for a reason as simple (when compared to world saving) as gardening. Tend to the rose plant, planet-tending can wait".)

It has been a long week. I have many things to say and I have had the time to pen them down. But I resisted. I didn’t fight my self. The mind agrees to write and the heart stops it but it is not a fight. They work for my betterment. My duality. I am one, yet I am made up of many parts and every part is one.

My mind decides to express it’s understanding on the nature of pain. The heart stops it. Don’t write. Now that stage has passed. The heart and the mind are one. However, I know the reasons for the conflict. The heart wants me to read and write beyond the scope of this website. I have been neglecting this nature of my self. In the pursuit of an arena to assemble my talents, I have been avoiding the talents. But the self exists despite recognition from the collective. And so do the talents exist despite the relevance of the outside.

In the absence of any positive impetus from the outside, we may be given to subside our talents. An individual develops his talent for the world and when the world doesn’t respond enthusiastically, the individual stops catering to the talent. This causes agitation. Agitation, then, is not solely a result of society’s indifference to talent.

Since the last story, I have talked about the standing of the Aryan Invasion Theory to a few individuals. I have written a few lines on the meaning of pain and outlined an education plan with a focus on regional languages and Indian Philosophy. None of these ideas came through because… ‘The Heart Wants What It Wants’. You may dream of aeons of bliss for mankind but your nature will stop you from achieving your goal for a reason as simple (when compared to world saving) as gardening. Tend to the rose plant, planet-tending can wait.
Hence the conflict. The terror of listening to the self.
Do I, a future world leader, do I have to really really go out and blow bubbles? Yes Sir, you have to. You also have to be able to make your own bubbles before extrapolating on Syria-Lebanon affairs.

You have to give the heart what it wants or else the body will be upset and you will not know the reasons you are restless and agitated. The world is made up of people who don’t blow their bubbles and so you feel scared what they would make out of you blowing your bubbles. At a certain age, certain tasks appear childish to the society and hence the spiritual gurus have a field run. They advocate the very same things that the society frowns upon and you feel happy doing them because they have been advocated by a spiritual master. Anyway, do what you like. If you are a lawyer who wants to splash water on people in the rains, then do it and be prepared to run and hide. If you don’t listen to the body, then it will work irrespective but it would be tense, unhappy and you would feel agitated. Similarly, you would carry on with your mega world plans but you won’t do them well. Not as well as you want to.

Despite being different, the body and I are one
