The sun set


The Sun Set 

In this world, every beginning is followed by its end.This is the fact we all cannot challenge with our scientific advancements. How beautiful it is to see the morning sun rising from the sky dispelling the darkness of this world with its light and power. Without your power and light, all sentient beings and ecosystems would have collapsed completely from this earth. You are one who provides us the heat, light, energy, happiness, joy and life on this earth. What a wonderful activity that you are  doing  to the sentient beings. Without you, there won't be any scientific findings, and achievements on this earth.

Happily rising from the east brightening the world with light and setting in the west with heavy heart by the evening hours. Watching you moving slowing towards the west brings  cloudy mood and sorrows for another twelve hours in the darkness with street lights glowing outside. The power of the street lights could match your giant fireball blazing that dispels the universal darkness for twelve hours in the same place. I felt as if that, you are sunk under the vast oceans like airplane being crashed never to be seen again. The moment you started leaving me behind, the stream of sadness and pains settles at my heart. The feeling of loneliness, home sick, and fed up with the mundane chores that has no end to it. It is flowing like ripples on the oceans one after another. The power of the darkness is the power of evils activities by the evil forces to the humanity.

Oh! You, (the Sun) taught me a great lesson in my life. How powerful you may be on this earth. The fact is that it is not made for permanent stay. Even you with this might of light has to work according to the karmic forces by rising in the morning and setting in the evening with pale and powerless look by kissing an ocean. The solar eclipse is one form of the danger that you always faced annually which makes you completely powerless and shadowed for an hours. We firmly belief that, the lay people will pray for your health and speedy recovery  with the beatings of drums and empty tins from the attack of solar eclipse known as Dza (the dark object moving in space with harmful rays)  in Tibetan wisdom.

I as a child used, to join the herd for shouting at the top my voice without knowing much background and culture with my parents back in the village. The danger posed by this solar eclipse on you indicates that even you have an enemy to bring you down annually.  Who is free from this word so called "enemy" who wants to destroy us. No one is free at all. There is plenty of competitors and enemies to destroy the good forces that we have by the evil forces. Therefore, the good and evil live together. They are never separated either an inch from the entity.

The truth that you taught me is the fact of agendas. The human beings are also packed with agendas to fulfill before we sleep permanently. We are bogged down by the mundane works and no time to enjoy the beauty of Nature. Our business dreams and objectives in life keeps us  busy and drives us to the crazy point of life. The datelines will push us to work round the clock forgetting even our parents and family behind. We are squeezing our energy for the making money by forgetting our health and peace of mind. What we all long for is the peace and harmony. In process of finding peace, we destroy moving in the wrong directions. However, you provided the energy for us to stay alive, by completing the ecosystem. My sincere gratitude is always with you for dispelling me with the darkness and teaching me the lessons of impermanence to carry with me.

The important agenda that you have is to provide light to the other side the of universe for another twelve hours. Due to this agenda, you have time to rise and set according to the forces of karmic wind. How long will I see you rise and set before I say good bye to this world? And how long will you even dispel the world with your mighty sunshine? For we know that, nothing is permanent on this earth. That is the fact we all should embraced with no options.
