“Live your today like there would be no tomorrow. Cheers!”
He was radiant as he said these words to his friend over dinner. They had met after a long time. He was feeling calm, with a quiet confidence that life was beautiful- rich with wonderful moments, “like these,” he thought with a smile.
He came home with the lightness of being that comes from knowing that you are loved and cared for; that people from long ago still cherish you. You wonder why you had not stayed in touch all these years, but you also marvel that those years don’t show! It’s the same handshake, the same man, the same regard and the same you. It’s heartening to realize that You defeated Time in someone’s heart.
He came home, more wafting over the clouds, than walking on his feet.
He entered his room, and was submerged in the absolute darkness. The Darkness had welcomed him into its arms! A happy peace drenched his whole soul. He felt in a state of Oneness. He felt Whole. Complete. It was a moment of ecstasy.
He lingered.
Finally, he switched the lights on.
And, he welcomed the lights with the same delight. He felt at home at once in the light and in the dark. The whole world seemed his home! He felt Supreme.
He could feel an electric wave of Energy passing through him. He felt powerful! He could do Everything, Anything just then.
“Is this what they call Bliss?” It was a mighty emotion! He could feel a Force of Sanguinity dilating his soul, his very being. He was in Heaven.
He didn’t know what to do. He felt so overwhelmed by the absolute rapture that he was experiencing that he just lay down, and closed his eyes.
A cool, serene darkness engulfed his mind. He could feel the smile on his face and the slow rhythmic heaving of his chest. It was not air that he was breathing in, but a breeze of spirituality which was nourishing his soul.
He thought about his friend. Did he know the joy that he had given to him today? Could he thank him enough for it?

This was one of the most amazing stories i ever read. It started way too off d track as in i had no idea what i was reading and why i was reading until the 3 rd page and i got a glimpse of what dis girl wanted to say. I cud actually relate in bits n pieces to wat "he" was thinking. Ppl know der real self but dey suppress it intentionally because of sum fear within themselves. N sumtimes it s d right way to go because if u r in ur real self u tend to do things which make u satisfied n in d meantime u may ignore so many aspects. It is also possible dat everyone's real self may actually turn out to be d same and what v r actually seeing is something what distinguishes every human being from another.
The world is nt ideal so v r nt supposed to behave ideally here. If u r to survive here, u have to do wat it takes n may be hide ur real self(which i have a feeling might turn out to be d same for everyone)..
"N sumtimes it s d right way to go because if u r in ur real self u tend to do things which make u satisfied n in d meantime u may ignore so many aspects."
That's exactly the point! When we are in our real selves- we'll try to do the things that satisfy us- isn't that what will make our life worthwhile?
Most of the time, we just keep considering the "different aspects" associated with following our hearts, and so remain confined within our beliefs and comfort-zones, with our wishlists going bigger and bigger. "Had I done that then!"
It's a really really tough thing to be your real self- requires a great courage- and that's why I so respect the people who did follow their hearts.
The others just compromise.
