A Strange Prayer:Dear Lord, I, the self searching illusion, has seen and experienced the outer world:relationships, success and failure, true friends, strangers and backbiters. I lived the different emotionsduring different seasons; I witnessed ups & downs, enjoyed love & hate, was good & bad, faced beauty & ugliness. There were times when I was brave, there were times when I was a coward. There were times when I was proactive, there were times when I was indecisive. After, flying high in the skies, and yet being a loser.. After, being nothing & no one, and yet feeling content. I have understood the differencebetween lust and love, happiness and sadness, selfishness and selflessness. One often leads to another;another secretly carries the one! Yet I am lostbetween being and becoming. An inner voice admits thatmy heart is an unexplored realm, my mind is a prisoner to my wishful thinking, and the soul is unknown to me. Setting that unknown free.. now, this is my heartiest wish. As Saurabh Sharma, the human being, Ialwayspray to thee, " O lord, set me free. I don't want love, I don't want to be loved; I want myself to be love itself now. That beautiful, silent and divine existence..! I want to get merged into that. Please give me wisdom and courage; Merge me into your supreme kingdom by setting my soul free. Saurabh Sharma
