The Cosmic Dance

Are you a happy person? If so, I have nothing to tell you any further. Thank you and heaven bless you! I too thought I was a happy person. I was happy about my possessions. I found my happiness in being proud about my intelligence and achievements. I found my happiness in my so called human and humane qualities. I found my happiness in playing the worldly games particularly when I won those games by hook or crook. Soon enough, I found something was missing from those bouts of happiness. Then I realized. I was not really happy, except for few tiny moments and it had nothing to do with the circus I was doing in the name of playing those wild games. I was deluding myself in the name of happiness. Being a down to earth normal human being, I had built up a lot of pride about so many things I owned, and I thought I was happy. Then came the watershed moment and it resulted in experiencing happiness in a different way beyond all pride and prejudices. For want of expression, I am labeling it as true happiness as words do not serve the purpose of explaining it. In the first chapter of this book, I am handing over a challenge to you. As you can expect, the challenge is not about fighting all that is bad and evil. If you are a true fighter, you will take up the challenge and grab the chance of becoming a winner. I never thought simple ideas appearing in my mind as thoughts can be so complex, until I wrote them down and read them back! That was my reaction when I read the completed book. There is a good amount of verifiable truth in that statement. To begin with, I wrote the content I am sharing in the book for my personal use; rather it was for venting my feelings when in distress. But, what has materialized as a book, has introduced an interesting spin on those feelings. What all I have written here is about my firsthand experiences of going through the travails of life and coming out as a winner where winning did not matter and expectedly, ended up getting nothing. I am not attaching any pride to this victory. All along the way, events associated with those travails kept on promising me that losing is the right way to extract material benefits, and there is a lot to gain positively or negatively when such losses happen. This book is not meant for the consumption everyone. It is meant for those few, whose lifelong search for happiness is about to materialize. For some others, it may become a starting point of a lifelong effort in search of elusive happiness. Someone else might find it entertaining in the sense of being helpful in spending their spare time and for the remaining people is an object deserves to be thrown away without giving a second thought. Choosing only one of those four exclusive choices is all that is possible. Before you move forward, I need to throw some light on an important topic. Earlier, I had asked you questions about the fighter qualities in you. Just asking those questions about the fighter living within you is not enough. I need to respect that fighter by giving an opportunity to fight. By taking up my challenge mentioned earlier, the fighter will meet a powerful hidden enemy. You cannot formulate a pre-defined winning strategy to fight that enemy. The fighter living inside you will feel ill equipped. Once you get to know the enemy, your life will change. You will lead yourself to decide whether you will fight on or surrender. This book intends to give you the right inputs for making the choice. I wish you good luck with your big fight!
