IDEAS FROM-- Revelations (Thought Series 1)

IDEAS FROM-- Revelations (Thought Series 1)

An Enquiry into the power of ideas and the route through which it reaches the fertile valleys of a human intellect

Ideas rule the world. Many think it is the material prowess is the defining element. Unfortunately, that seems correct, thinking from a very superficial point of view. But what is forgotten is the role of ideas played in shaping the material success.

Everything is born as an idea. It is true for most abstruse philosophical formulations. It is true for even a simple mechanical invention. Seemingly, Small ideas blossom as spectacular achievement in human history. The past of our species is replete with any number of such examples.

Once ideas are formed, then what is to be followed is very simple. Execution is important but idea is the key. It is the password, which allows one to enter into the mansion of new and fresh avenues of experience. All great revolutions are sprouted as relentless ideas in the fertile minds of highly receptive thinkers.

Eastern philosophers believe that ideas do float around us. Just like the radio waves past us, the currents of ideas are lie pregnant in the mind of space to caress the back of our head to inspire us. As a nonworking radio can’t receive the waves, our un-tuned or under-tuned intellect fails to even sense the import of scenes, glimpses and sights that invites us in every moment.

That s why, all religions of the world exhort the followers to get ready for super natural and super sensory. A deeply contemplative mind can see and slice off ideas. Lot of atheists and rationalists may have also sensed the wonders and invented many things of worth. The difference is that they do not acknowledge or sometimes doesn’t know the spiritual heights from which they harvest the ideas.

Ideas do search for the right mind and intellect to materialise. Finding a soul ripe enough to receive a ripe idea, the unknown law of life will put it on that basket. So the burden is be attentive and remain pure and ego less to accept the ideas. Once ideas came, flowering of that bud is a matter of time. Here or there, it will actualise.

Nobody can forcefully pluck an idea flower from the unseen garden of space. It is with loving prayers one can request it. With the utmost Sadhanas, one can access it. In the bottomless beauty of silence, a soul aspires for it. In the midst of a sleep, idea will walk in blushingly to be cuddled. But then also, the question is that whether we are ready for it. Are we mature enough to be kissed by the hugging glances of glorious ideas lurking behind.
