"One such time I left town and on my way back, at a point where the land was high and I could see the sea to my left and down the road a long ways, I suddenly felt I was in heaven. The spot was in fact no different from when I had passed it not long before, but my way of seeing it had changed.
The feeling, a paradoxical mix of pulsing energy and profound peace, was intense and blissful. Whereas before the road, the sea, the trees, the air, the sun all spoke differently to me, now they spoke one language of unity. Tree took account of road, which was aware of air, which was mindful of sea, which shared things with sun.
Every element lived in a harmonious relation with its neighbour, and all was kith and kin. I kenlt a mortal; I rose an immortal. I felt like the centre of of a small circle coinciding with the centre of a much larger one. Atman met Allah."
- Yann Martel, Life of Pi
When I read the above, it was so powerful. I needed to share it with all you people. Have you ever had that Hallelujah moment in your lives?
When you have felt deep inside that life is what you make of it? That you have woken from a long slumber and realized that things are meant to be a certain way, you just need to look at them in a different light?
That the universe will conspire to give you something you need, only if you keep your eyes and heart open? Like there was something in front of your eyes and you did not see it before?
