Language of the universe

Posts on Spirituality

Do you think that a trivial incident is enough to give you a momentary realization of the power of the cosmic energy that fills and surrounds all of us? Though I hold no authority to claim anything without an evident scientific data, an abstract idea of my experiences tells that we are all connected through some strange invisible bonds because we have the same set of feelings, a similar pattern of thoughts and typical stimuli-response relationships. The invisible bond can be realized at any moment, with anyone in the form of instant feelings such as attraction, empathy, or uncontrolled thoughtfulness on seeing a completely unknown person.

One morning, I came across one such person in a confectionery shop who I asked for some candies to keep along my way to the office. For a reason unknown, he gave me more than I asked for. Busy in searching for the wallet in my purse, I clarified him that I asked for fewer candies, but in a faint voice did he whisper, ‘it’s okay’. Rendered slightly puzzled at the sudden gesture of his generosity, I simply made the payment lifting my eyes up at once before leaving.

That was when I got the first glimpse of his eyes – deep and serene, betraying strange longing as if bespeaking of some mysteriously sad story. Like a magic trick of witchcraft, a quick glance into his eyes changed the entire route of my thoughts. I left the place but during my walk ahead, I kept wondering about that unspoken story that a stranger was trying to tell me with his eyes. If it was about poverty, he would not be the least bit generous to me. But it could be about his suppressed ambitions which he once sacrificed in the name of family and social obligations as it happens with more than half of the young population. Else, it could be a desire of an emotional and decent boy in his twenties to have someone by his side. There are so many possible stories behind the emotions which I just saw in his expressive eyes, though we could not read clearly.

The next day, I got a little late, and so I hailed a rickshaw, but halfway past, I had to get down because of the heavy jam. Ironically, I found the same boy cleaning the street outside his shop. As he looked upon me, his sadness and longing seemed to return back with the same confusing stories. Why is it happening?

Is this what Paolo Coehlo called the ‘Aleph’- a point where everything or one can say, the whole universe is contained?

I believe that the love of the Universe is not limited to a particular thing or person. One can get the feeling of love anywhere, anytime, with anyone and anything that exists because it’s omnipresent for the divine energy is always there. Only that we feel it at certain times. We are all connected in some way or the other having been emerged from the same source, whatever one calls it -an atom or a cell.

Eyes speak the language of the universe in the form of unsaid words. That’s why they are windows to the soul. When one’s emotions or feelings become so intense that they start overflowing, the aleph is created which when goes intense may come out in the form of tears. But to read these words in someone’s eyes, one needs to be on the same frequency as the other person.

I hope that I find that overflow of extreme emotions in everyone’s eyes for they never lie. I pray that every soul of the universe tells the stories of its lifetime through its eyes that can be read and understood by another soul floating with the same momentum. When one soul acknowledges the other, the circuit for the flow of universal energy is completed, and the whole nature rejoices in harmony.

So, here I spread the message to follow the language of the universe rather than the languages created by mortal people, to seek the emotions in eyes rather than words from the mouth, to read what is felt rather than what is written. May mankind be enriched with such a code of conduct…
