Me : I used to travel a lot. I backpacked to offbeat places, was driven by expeditions, explored hidden lands and took off on long trips many times in a year. Even though I feel much fitter, I don't see myself doing too much of that now ... how is this dwindling away ?
Voice : Why did you seek to travel ?
Me : Well...to take a break. Escape and explore. Find joy in a new experience..
Voice : But what if your life is a vacation ? What if you are holidaying everyday ?
Me : How ?
Voice : One many take a 'break' to escape from the 'grind'. One may need a vacation to beat the monotony of life or one may seek to travel to a distant land to experience tranquility....
For many years, you traveled because you were 'seeking'. You were always inclined to escape the environment outside of you because you struggled to fit in. You believed the serenity, peace and tranquility lay in those places. You were looking for stillness while moving in the rapids.
Then, came a time when you finally found an end to this search. The emptiness found fulfilment. The restlessness found peace. The questions brought answers. The wave of love brought stillness. The seeker was sought. There remained nothing inside you searching for newer experiences.
You had found path to Divine Love. Your life became a 'vacation', because you began to live in 'Freedom'. You were on a holiday from bondage, grind or feeling trapped or miserable.
Love brings freedom and joy inside. Gradually, the idea of a vacation or a break has stop serving the same feeling for you.
What were you going to take a break from ? from inner peace ?
You have changed much in last few years and that is a good thing.
Me : So I have become boring !
Voice : Ha ha. Sometimes spiritually aware souls lead very boring lives on the outside, but full of enchantment and fulfilment on the inside which the world cannot see.
Me : Now thats why I don't feel connected to the Himalayas as I used to ?
Voice : Because you have finally found your Himalayas within.
