Sobbings of the Heart

Why at all your heart sobs? Why do we all struggle? We learn to express as we gradually grow. We are born into an adult world, when the infant wants to express his/her being-in-the-world in a right medium of expression. When the human language does not find an apt expression, it seeks the expression of the heart… 

It is a universal experience – A dis-ease, a seeking after authenticity and wholeness.

This seeking for wholeness is very much found in the very nature/ the whole of creation. The whole creation is groaning as St. Paul would say, as if a woman in labour pains. St. Augustine’s experience of an eternal restlessness speak of an ever seeking being-in-the- world today in an authentic mode of being. Experiencing the interior fragmentation is a part of the universal experience of every man. This experience is itself tells that we are a divided self. Just take into consideration the usual expression in English – ‘How are you?’ Is not this expression itself an expression of duality? It presupposes that a person is not whole… there are many constraints and splitting occurrences in a human being…

We have often heard of the concept of ‘original sin’ and the church still understands the concept of ‘concupiscence’ as a tendency to sin – understood as the effect of the original sin. A natural question that spontaneously probes in is – Are we made that way and therefore have to live it???

How many souls will have to go desperate when their sobs become groans!!!!

There is also a mystery that all worship and try to understand the mystery that one worships. Yet the mystery of living is not grasped in its totality… It could be a life-long task. Human experiences (Harrowing ones) often make people existentially arrested and often do not lead to a movement/ a step towards the only thing Necessary…

It can so happen that a mind can get soaked with the waters of fatalism. ‘what to do, it is written on my forehead.’ And many who watch silently the internal moans of the experiencing person, can no longer say that there is a solution to the problems but pray…. Utter human helplessness needs a divine help (this is the point that everyone needs to realize, rather than clinging to a piece of straw in the mighty ocean and struggle to get ashore.)
