Gifted people

 “Gifted” people 

Each one of us is “gifted” with atleast one thing, in the strict sense of the word. 

Life is a gift. Not something that a female womb can manufacture by the conscious efforts of the Madam who ‘gets’ pregnant. ( It is entirely an other matter that we ignore any commonly occuring gift🙏😭

Gifted poet.

Effortlessly composes a poem, extempore. In fact, when he ‘becomes’ deeply emotional, that gift turns his verbal-thought-process into a poetry🤣 

I came across a story where, a commercial movie director ‘exploited’ a gifted_lyricist into composing a song 🤣. Tune had to be ‘set’ to suit the lyrics, for a Change 😜🙏.

He invited that lyricist to a ‘wet’ party(drinks) where he would suddenly confront a lady of his platonic_love, decades ago. She too was unaware of that ‘chance’ meeting of her ex-love!! The emotions surged volcanically. The poet, said “chalo ek baar phir se, ajnabi b’an jaayen hum donon”( “come on, let's both turn into strangers once again!”... To re-live those moments of platonic_love). The director had already”arranged” for a shorthand writer to take down the song-dictation🙂. A famous, ever green song now👍!!!

(non-poets like me express it as “I have no words to express my feelings” instead of accepting the truth “I am not gifted”😞 

Original equipment. That's what a gift is. Sixth finger at birth is of no commercial use. Probably that person can “show” open palms vertically to mean a “eleven” while we can display only ten. (I wonder ‘what will the Aadhar software do, with the fingerprint of sixth/eleventh finger’s impression? 🤔 ख़ैर, जाने दो 🙏 )

Nobody had to “push”/nudge me into spirituality. Even I had to ponder/wonder for 3 long decades “why am I like this?( Criticism for my oddity about my thoughts which got articulated, and invariably irritates all those who were not-gifted with born_deaf physiology 😜, made/compelled me to “look” for only_something_Wrong with me🙏). Only when I bumped into a professional, who could talk the way i_used_to_think, that “looking for a manufacturing defect” got completely reversed😜….  Effortless pursuit, then on. The timetested ancient tools seemed ‘gifts’ for me to play-with, joyously 🤣( a kid, if gifted with a toy that makes him joyous, doesn't bother EVEN about hunger in his stomach, and keeps playing with that toy. That mom searches for rare moments when the kid would open his mouth a little to push the tiny morsel of baby_food!🙂). I even wondered about Gifted Masters who could ‘sight’ gifted spiritual seekers, by merely sensing their vibes(quantum mechanics, being the gift_of_experience, here🙏.  Whereas, I had to SLOG, in an unprecedented direction( for a decade), to ‘deserve’ a coveted gift, my teacher had!😓. He could ‘see’ if the meditation is REALLY happening in a person sitting squatted, eyes closed. All of them “look alike”, squatting cross-legged, eyes closed !. No way to make out that ultra-subtle difference, which they-themselves don't know 🙏😭

How to discover that hidden/latent gift in us, other than the_best_ever Gift of a life_with_a_human form, in us????

The only way that I came across is,  to fully use that sense_of_discrimination “gifted” to all humans born with “volitional consciousness”🙏🙏🙏.  

Giftlessly yours,
