'How to block'... we
teach each other so well!
Unblocking is relatively
difficult (unless somebody 'made-it-easy' for us!)
I happened to see an
interesting video...

)
I wondered... why does
it seem so wonderful?... It is just about how the lower
temperature 'blocks' the T shirt from falling! It freezes the shirt
(If Niagara's 'fall' can be frozen, what is a T shirt after all!)...
We 'seek' to block a
child's 'discovery process'... the child's urge to seek... in
so-many-ways! (The very fundamentals of 'up bringing' seems to hover
around just that, one way or other, when we do many things, in our
frantic search to find ways to protect the child ... the insulation
ends up in also preventing the natural process of inner-growth!)..
And now we have outsourced the 'blocking' to our dear education
Ministry! The Minster blocks the traffic even on his way! Can't
really blame him... he has to have 'his way' with everything, after
all... The rule is make our way blocking all others! (Hey! This
media is a big nuisance, of late!.. And who was that fool, who gave
the idea to capture images on a mobile?... Jammers don't effectively
block image-capture, right now!).
The bulk of the ancient
scriptures, when it leaves a lot to 'our imagination', seems to be
aimed at preventing such 'blocks' sealing our very quest, when it
also 'declares' the experiential truth... thereby, adheres to the
prakriti(nature), its rules, its concepts, and its values! Now, if
interpretation of it is the only thing that we decide to rely upon,
who's block is it... or... who is-the-block? Dunno!
Nature. Even when we say
'Nature', we imply a process that keeps going on.... rejuvenating
itself, on and on... a never-ending-process... when one form is
finished, it rots and resurfaces afresh again... It is 'his nature'
we say, when somebody's tail cannot be 'effectively blocked' from
curling back, even after years of trying-to-hold-it-straight!
We block the 'process' of
a child birth when we do not want it ... The happening of it was
really never in our hands! (Unblocking even, sometimes fails...
when we try to 'finish up' something for a while, it even ends,
preventing the 'un-finishing of it' .... )
Try blocking the urge to
'seek'... ! But why? We are already at it, quite unawares, most of
the times! It is the mind-blocks, that we try to unblock, to reach
that innocence within, already waiting, eagerly too... to just
surge, and re-live that child-like-state, ... now and yet again, with
full awareness!
(At school, somebody tried
to tease me with a tongue-twister... “The big black bloke's
back-block broke” ... 'say it fast, repeatedly'... said the other
kid! And all I confronted was the blocks in me-my-self!)
At the other side of the
block, (very much, perhaps!)...
yours,
