Moving Forward
We live in an era of uncertainties. In a sense, the march of life upon earth has always
been shadowed by uncertainty. One could almost say that the only thing certain about
life is its uncertainty.
Yet there are two distinct phases through which the stream of life flows, individually as
well as collectively. One phase is when life flows relatively smoothly like the river Ganga
in its quieter mode. Another when the flow is rough and turbulent like the river Yamuna
in her unpredictable moods. What we need to discover is the third stream hidden as an
undercurrent, like the lost river Sarasvati. That is the deeper spiritual current that alone
can harmonise the other two streams.
Right now, we swing from one to the other. This happens by suppressing one by the
other. What is required is a balancing of the two, embracing each other in a harmonious
flow. That is the lost river, the lost secret that we are here to discover.
