Conundrum!

What is a word made up of 4 letters yet is a word made up of 3. Although is written with 8 letter, then with 4. Rarely consists of 6, and never is written with 5.

Some might find in above a conundrum of a sort and to some it might appear simplified. It caught my attention for I could see in it the way we read ourselves – our mind and consciousness. Going back to above, it is a simplified statement which inherits the answer yet as we read it in flow we tend to lose connect and find it all gobbled up.

Doesn’t it present a fitting analogy as to how we tend to catch and lose connect with our core? Often than not many of us are aware of who we are and what we stand for, yet on exposure to temptations we tend to reconcile and shuffle our thoughts over and over again whereas the response stands still before us. On other hand there are those strong characters who hold it firm and read accurately without any aberration.

If there was a belief, “when you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” There also exists a reality that the world inside outside you also stops you from believing and clouds your mind and heart to weaken your sight of the core. Those who hail the storm steer pass everything only to be left with elements that work in one’s favor.

Easier said than done! Perhaps this could only be simplified by treading on an even tougher path of unified aim and bringing renunciation in action. Harsha Bhogle summed it up too well in his praise for Rahul Dravid, “giant edifices are built on solid foundations.” The foundation itself runs many out of patience and pose toughest test to your grit and substance. May be that’s why it was said that the real wealth is ‘patience’; patience to not lose hope and conviction that ‘tomorrow never dies.’
