SOMETHING I LOOK AT-114
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

THE UNIQUE 'I'

Definitely, i am not you
and you are me.
We are different,
neither you are inferior to me
nor i am superior to you,
we are unique in our own way.
Let our relationship flourish
on the appreciation of that unique I.

Look around!
just impossible to find two things alike,
even two things from a source may look alike, but they are not exactly the same.
There lies the beauty and mystery of creation, the craftsmanship of the Almighty.
There is always one, nothing like two,
one and one makes two,
but two exact ones are not possible,
how can you make them combine into two?

The most intelligent cannot compare
with the dullest of the dull,
both excel in their own field,
and there is hardly anything to compare in between.

You are socialised to look at things
in a particular way.
You call someone beautiful and someone ugly and your views are shaped as per the attributes of beauty forced into your mind since childhood.
You call someone good and someone bad
as per the collective conscience and the values you internalised,
The window through which you look at
is the society in which you are born and groomed.
The reality is you are as beautiful as good and as intelligent as anyone else.

The way to a beautiful life lies
in accepting and appreciating the reality that we are unique and different in our own way.
our unique difference is to make us
complement and supplement
and interdependent to meet each other
need and requirement.

We will remain unique,
till at a different level, we meet
and become one where remains
nothing except that all-pervasive unique 'I'
the vast ocean of consciousness and bliss
wherein melt all ego and identity.
