So, i know i decided not to post anything for sometime. But couldn't really resist after watching the recent episodes and a deep discussion with a dear friend. I should apologize for the length of it 😆
Are we witnessing one? The Evolution. Evolution of a ground habitable enough, fertile enough to sustain life. Not so soon i would say. We ignore the power of time, the power of physical and spiritual forces, the perseverance with which the nature worked and crafted itself into the marvel it is.
Shaurya, a blazing fire, a fire so furious which consumes everything, a fire so bright which doesn't allow to see what lies beneath it. It all started with a fire, but there is nothing singular in this world. Now here comes Mehak, a shower of rain, which is attracted by the heat. Then began the eternal conflict and the eternal love. The fire and the heat evaporated the drops before them even able to touch the flame. The cycle continued. The fire may be doused off, but the ground is still blazing hot, not habitable, not fertile enough. She was ready for the flame, but is she ready to see the ground lying beneath it? Is she ready for his love? A love replete with madness which is much more than his madness in hatred. The time he was faking, he was an ideal lover, after that he was an ideal hater, and now when its true love from his side with the very features that define him, how will she take it. Is she ready to step on the ground which is gonna burn her feet so badly? .Is she ready to walk over it. I am not sure. The pain will be unbearable, and once you start you will have to walk the entire length.
It needs time, more perseverance on the part of rain till the heat subsides and confines itself to the core. It cannot get extinguished, because this heat of the core defines the very characteristics, the very nature and is essential for existence. This heat when erupted from volcanoes prepares the most fertile grounds of the world. ("Remind me that the most fertile lands were built by the fires of volcanoes- Andrea Gibson) But again, the power of time, until the fire is confined to the core it will consume everything, even the element with which it has a relationship of eternal love. The only resort is patience, giving nature its time, so that it can create the marvel, a beauty which is self sustaining, a representative of completeness.
"The dove descending breaks the air
With flame of incandescent terror Of which the tongues declare
The one discharge from sin and error.
The only hope, or else despair
Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre- To be redeemed from fire by fire. Who then devised the torment? Love.
Love is the unfamiliar Name Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame Which human power cannot remove. We only live, only suspire Consumed by either fire or fire."
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
