Interdependence engages
influence... perhaps ...... to makes its presence 'felt'!
The earliest
recognition of this aspect dates back, maybe just around middle of
the 18th century, when the influence of stars was believed
to be cause for an affliction, a viral one, affecting masses at a
time, to beget yet another name for itself, 'Influenza'....
What perhaps started as
a word to denote a mass affect on people, by a large mass of a body
at a far off place... stayed back to connote the 'star' effect of
an individual, when we chose to say, “A very highly influential
person”!!!
A diluted form of
confession finds an expression thus: “Please forgive me, but I was
under the influence of alcohol, when I said those things”
(perhaps, a sutble influence of escapism, in fact when we blame the
poor achohol, which would not have found its way into us, without our
influence on it!... Only that we patronise the best brewers, by way
of outsourcing our efforts towards 'influencing'... Thus we
aggregately constitute a confluence of influences!
With all these
influences, incessantly working on us, I wonder, as to how we are
going to re-influence our spirit through a highly influential
spiritual quest, on that 'difficult-to-influence pathless path of
spirituality, so as to remain 'detached' from all influences!!!
Unless we master the
influence, influence of Masters is bound to keep us under the spell
of influence, at least here on spiritual forum!
Influentially yours,
