Lack of response

When we respire, it is our response to life!

The nurse or that midwife gives a smack, not too late, if that respiratory response doesn't come... The first response is an inhalation, and the outburst of it is a cry, not that gentle exhalation... So total is the very first response! Pristine! Innocent! Pure emotion! The intensity of love brings instant joy even in the face of that midwife, for whom the process is a daily routine (that poor person fails to really notice this, lost in the anxiety of 'safe-delivery'.... otherwise, it is as fresh as that hunger or the thirst which is not yesterdays!)

...

Forgetting that, ... we ..... as we grow,...... restrict our response too often!

Please look at our kids (the youngsters, especially.... monosyllable response.... that too over a mobile preferably, as if holding that mobile is all about 'mobility in life'!)...

.....

A response to an impersonal blog is a struggle..... Why blame the reader of that blog in isolation? If somebody misunderstands that blog a little, and gives an 'inside-outside-same---type-of-response' the next few 'forms of responses' are a challenge to the dictionery's lexicographer! And then we try to drag in that most unwilling 'third umpire' (poor fellow, he or she never bargained for this kind of umpiring, when that person was asked to fix a few bugs reported in the format of the blog and its navigation-related issues!!!)... When I said, a response to an impersonal blog is a struggle, quite a few people would have responded within themselves with something like this.. “Not all blogs are impersonal, you see... some are attacking our very personal sentiments”.... Please see, response to a blog starts at the formative stage... within the blogger oneself, to begin with.... the struggle to become impersonal is there itself..... in that struggle, if the 'personality reflects into the blog too much, then the blog's image acquires that “persona” (the mask)... and the struggle goes in favour of.... (“and the winner is.....” the hand is lifted by the umpire of the ring in that wrestling centerstage!)...

....

“The patient is not responding to the medicines”...... the angreyjee-vaid-jee says.. that is when the vaid is rendered 'avaid' due to lack of his own response to the concepts(vidhi/vidhata-related-concepts) of diagonising the right live-wire connections to be tapped, to restart the life ticking inside!

...

The transplanted organs find the response from the host to be inadequate and the doctors say, the body failed to accept the organ!

.....

The bride feels that the in-laws failed to accept her into the new house where she got transplanted..

The in-laws feel that the bride is not compatible to the structure of the family that will house this bride....

(who is a misfit?... is not our point of dispute... many things decide, right from adapability issues.. We are just looking at various forms of responses, and the lack of it!... A whole movie gets created when that love triangle finds its source in that lack of proper-response at the right time.... ).

...

So that is how, we are... every breath is a response to life itself!

Severing the umblical cord might look like a severing of bonds, but that is how we respond to life within that child! It is a death of the 'womb-life of the child' but the birth of a consciousness, manifesting with intense discretion though a 'life-form' called the body, the most intricate design of the life-energy in the universe... the best expression possible ... the highest form of expression, a being with self-awareness, a being capable of realising the very source of creation within self! A human being!

Spirituality is all about response....

(Considering the magnitude of responding to life... the spiritual way of it... small responses, or the lack of it do not matter at all.... and even blogs of this kind are no exception to the list of things that do not matter at all! Not withstanding that.... the whole way of looking at life itself, ..... is about our moment-to-moment response.... with just one responsive test... whether we are life-positive, or life-negative in our responses... there is a whole eternity waiting... take your own time... till you really decide to respond positively!)
