UNDERSTANDING THE MANTRA
________________________________

There is a Sanskrit saloka ‘Charaiveti Charaiveti -an aphorism which means “Go on”-a powerful & potent word,it exhorts us to move on and keep going!

We must move on because Motion is the law of Nature. Motion is life & Immobility/Inactivity/Inertia/Stillness is death.The honey bee,by its motion collects honey,birds enjoy tasty fruits by flying here & there,the Sun & even the Earth which we inhabit, itself is constantly moving. A pool with stagnant water smells, whereas the flowing waters of a river are a feast to the eyes & ears.

Sometimes in life,we get stuck up because of so many reasons like somebody I loved betrayed,some near or dear one died,loss of job etc etc…At that time we must understand that Life, like a river, always moves forward,not backwards.

It is like Alfred Tennyson’s “Brook”which says -

‘Men may come & men may go,but I go on forever’-

Nature’s beauty & freshness is maintained by its continuity & change.Old leaves wither & fall to give place to the new; the old must die to give place to new borns - thus Nature makes balance to maintain its beauty, its freshness,even its existence & finally its Eternity-because it is because of this Continuity & Change that Permanence is inherent in impermanence / Immortality is inherent in mortality.

So we must all accept this perfect plan of Nature,accept this as the Will of the Creator & go on without any grumbling.In this journey of life,we,the travellers ,must march on,no matter how arduous the climb is,how long & tough the road is,how worn out we are, we need to carry on, keep going - keep going
