Till Eternity
Manifestation of Uncertainty
Uncertainty, is an aspect of our psychology, and is definitely a very influential one. All the probabilities and the complications of all the incalculable variables of our lives lead to uncertainty. Everyone knows just how big an impact this uncertainty has on life. Uncertainty leads to fear, and fear is the dark path of destruction. It will give us no peace of mind. All that is gifted to us by uncertainty are our own thoughts which are randomized under such tremendous forces that they swerve past our neurons like cars on winter ice, some thoughts don’t even stay long enough for us to remember. Uncertainty imposes all kinds of anxiousness and suffering on us. It approaches with utter gentleness and before our mind can feel the happening, it is seized in a deadly grasp of fear.
Mankind has been searching for certainty in their lives since the beginning of intelligence. Almost all of them have failed. Certainty is not what we have to look for, it is peace of mind. And peace of mind can be found by only one means, by letting go of all the fear and embracing uncertainty; to realize that that everything has to be lost one day and to be happy and satisfied with that realization. Once we see this as the ultimate truth, we will attain pure bliss, true happiness. It really doesn’t matter, we could go on with our ambitions in life; or we could live as if there would be no tomorrow. As long as we keep in mind that life is uncertain and welcome the unexpected, any lifestyle will flow in a frictionless stream of joy.
The incalculable variable – uncertainty, hinders our path to happiness and blurs every righteous vision of truth. It helps all the wrong emotions from the dark side of our mind to blossom. It is the root of all anger, pain, jealousy and hatred. It is the root of all ‘evil’. It doesn’t bring disarrays only to our lives; it has brought havoc to the whole world. All the tears, the dead trees, the power hunger, everything are uncertainty’s manipulations over minds of people. The connection between all these miserable happenings with uncertainty is not hard to comprehend. This truth can be realized by even the most futile minds, but it sometimes evades brains of even great aptitudes. It only depends on the desire to know the truth; self-realization is always ready to glow out within every one of us.
We need to clear our mind, realize the truth. We need to concentrate to finish any task we may have at our hands. We need to forget about the past because it will change nothing, it does not matter, no more. We have to let the future happen and expect nothing because we cannot command any occurrences. All we got to do is to keep our mind where it should be, in the present. It will come to us – peace of mind. No more haunting, no more fear!
Someone once said, “I was born with nothing. Nothing I have is truly mine. I will die with nothing.”
Nothing lasts forever.
