My Tryst With The Supreme Force

I aspired for the sky, You gave me the earth
I learnt to stay grounded

I aspired for a career in finance, You gave me a career in IT
I learnt to widen my horizon

I aspired for a stress free life, You gave me insurmountable issues
I learnt to be resilient

I aspired for a wealthy life, You gave me financial losses
I learnt to live on the edge

I aspired to reach out to You, You hid yourself
I learnt that you were all the while inside me sculpting my soul

I aspire now only to live a life in acknowledgment of your presence in me
I learnt that happiness lies only in the journey and not the destination !
