Ancient Eastern literature and mythology celebrated the monsoon - right from Rig Veda to Ramayana there's a wide-ranging prominence bestowed to the occurrence. The dance of the raindrops has been encapsulat-ed by great minds for ages.
The reason being -what is famously called divine insight is nothing but creating stillness in our mind, cultivating, or refining, our thoughts, perceptions and attitudes.Īdd to this discipline, patience and receptivity, and you have a colourful mosaic that provides a new spiritual connect to the humdrum of modern life and existence.
Once this happens, one is assured of a new-fangled, fresh space that promises something of equal, or greater, measure. It is also a mind-body 'detox' process, followed by the planting of a new seed of good thought and harvesting a nice, mindful, rich crop. Monsoon exemplifies a time of pledge and fulfilment too with regard to reconnecting with long-lost friends, or values, and embarking upon a new rainy voyage that augments a new purpose in life. What's more, when elevated wisdom resides in the conscious and the unconscious mind, the better the wholesome, uplifting experience of pure delight. Because, the mind is more than a tad clear of mental clutter, pride and arrogance? Yes. There is yet another visage to the whole idea -when knowledge is sublime, wisdom lingers. Because, when the mind is 'animated,' the more intense the learning is. It is a phase to sow new ideas and reap their fruits with intuitive leaps. Monsoon is a juncture to seeking answers to life's numerous questions and puzzles. The best part - there is no need for us to scan the horizons, because our introspectively retrospective view provides us with valuable insights, juxtaposed by a certain valour to tide over the inclement weather and its gusty winds of change. It provides us with a sense of serenity and solidity, especially in our turbulent times. This isn't just a simile, but a sign, or vision, a simple and refreshing epitome too that reconnects us with the divine essence. For one who embraces the sonorous rhythms of the rains, one can hear and resonate with the voice of god. Monsoon also provides us with the high ground to meditate with those lilting rain drops 'caressing' our mind - to gather fresh insights. Forget the creepy allegory, and you will only be cheerful for it, because tomorrow's rain 'waltz' may be different with no flooding, or traffic jams. Monsoon restricts one's movement, all right, so much so that reaching your workplace and returning home become a nightmare. Record monsoon rains have killed more than 100 people in northern India this week
