Happy Birthday to ME ... !!!
(Originally Written on FB Notes on Saturday, December 15, 2012 at 10:13pm)
Perhaps I would be the only weird one in this world to myself a Happy Birthday..!
But Folks, there is a reason behind me wishing myself a happy birthday...! Up Until today i was there - very much alive, but what was it useful for? Was it worth a life – so many tonnes of Oxygen that i inhaled? So many gallons of water and loads and loads of food that i consumed in past 3 decades...?
Today while i was sitting alone and i was giving myself some time while i was browsing / surfing through my beloved Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu’s Videos and Pics that i had backed up on one of my hard disks to sort them all..! I came across the changes that my Bapu has brought in me...! Slowly and steadily i realised that i was changing... (?) After some more time - I really couldn’t make out whether i was Changing or was i evolving... what was the difference i found in me..! every moment captured in those Pics of my Bappa had some or the other memories attached; and trust me.... not a single Memory that would be unwanted..! Not necessarily all were goodie-goodie and happy-happy moments, but not a single one that was sad...! Every moment and its memories attached to the clip had some or the other god hidden inside it for me...! Who hid them there for me...??? Who was the one who wanted to see me happy from ages and ages and from all my births up until this day..???
The only obvious and perfect answer to it was – “My Aniruddha – My Bappa – My Saviour and Guardian of the eternal Journey towards my eternal Destiny – My Vishwaroop Aniruddha – My Lovable Bapu & My Devaadu or Bapuda (as i call him often with love)”
My Bapu has started to change a Stone like me; a lump of unwanted and waste mud n clay like me into a shape, he was shaping me always. It’s me who understood that too late (but better than never).
That is when i remembered one of the days when Bapu was telling me about the Name of Lord Vishnu – || Om Sinhay Namah || Where he was emphasising the importance of “Sinhavalokan” – the trait of a Lion in which he re-looks the path he has been trailing on; and checks for the important things to make his journey further easy and untraceable for the foes of his Life..! “FOES”??? Did i have any FOES??? I always knew about my friends... But after some time i realized a a deadly “FOE” on mine; that was “ME”... which was a part of “I-ME-MYSELF” was my foe..!
Bapu has kept me safe from being infected and hurt by this “ME” and taught this “ME” and tamed this “ME” to become ‘me’...! The only difference in both “me’s” is that the 1st “ME” was filled with self centred and selfish EGO – and the other was a ‘me’ silently enjoying at Bappa’s Lotus feet...!
On this propitious day i plea to my Bappa to always n every moment arrange for funeral of the bad “ME” and at the same time celebrate one more good in ‘me’ as he wants me to be...!
So Bappa... Please wish a ‘Happy Birthday to me...!!! :-)
Shre Ram & Ambadnya ...!!!
