"Brace yourself," a blaring voice bellowed In angst, he wimped and looked around There was no one he could find Shaken,
he gazed within and realized
that voice's source was inside! That caution was from his own mind!
Shattered, sunken, sore & moreā¦ he had been through all those before But this was not anything familiar There was a strange, seeping fear and his sneaky, meek mind has tricked and Waged war
Big bundle of bitterness, Unfathomable bruises Buried, unbearable pains, Gory memories marched
in front of his inner eyes. He jumped in torment as the stalking shadows of sorrows surfaced from his yesteryears
Swamped by horrific emotions, he howled, 'My inner world is at war, please provide me shelter' Knowing that there can't be any answer, he so wished to run away and disappear. But where can he escape to? When his mind itself was the avenger
engaged in this gruesome torture?!
"Alas! how filthy and noisy Feels so edgy and uneasy Is this how I am from the inside? Why this mind is
so wretched and morbid ? Was I always living under facade? Am I a monster who is cloaked?" In agony, he roared and moaned
And the raid from inside intensified, Clasping him tight, his mind hollered, "Life is temporary
and living is just misery. Till I burn down your world I wouldn't stop this adversary!" Threatened, he knelt down and pleaded, "Oh you are my own mind at last! Why are you ruthlessly charging and making me suffocate?" Mind was obdurate and adamant It went mute and continued the assault
Confused and lost, he squirmed and struggled. Mind's hold was firm and
he couldn't escape from this grim. The more he tried, the more he was tied. "I am done. This havoc can't be undone I will certainly lose This storm would never pass", he sobbed and sighed, rolled and begged
Feeble and frail, he fell and wallowed in despair. "Stand still", he heard an authentic voice
from somewhere. "When your mind itself resists and declares war, it is time for the inner essence to sprout and prosper"
Without bothering about
the source of the voice and wonder, he grabbed the advice and
alerted his thoughts not to wander. He stood fixed and unruffled, paying no response to mind's chatter. He could sense someone's presence very near and strangely felt safe and secure
And myriad moments later, Mind, the merciless conqueror
appeared worn and weary It's strike turned weak Onslaught lost it's might and blows lost their potence Understanding the plight, subdued mind halted it's fight
and decided to retreat.
Freed and delighted, he sat leisurely and pondered, 'Whom did I hear? Who was my rescuer?' He heard a soothing voice's whisper, "My dear, it's me, wisdom, your new companion and saviour."
His heart beamed
and he stated with a smile so subtle, "After all the hassle, Finally, something has blossomed. Something unexplainable and invaluable
something very nice and precious My, It's not time to brace but to embrace. Embrace the old scars, the new beginnings and an enthralling expedition that unfolds."
