Today morning, I was selecting a shirt to wear for office.
The first one, I observed wrinkles, and another one also having wrinkles but
lesser. It was getting late, so less time to further explore the wardrobe. I
wore one of them and got ready.
On my way to office, this little incidence struck my mind and
took me to an understanding which all of us have but…we understand and accept
it per our convenience.
The new looks and re-experience…
Just look back towards our childhood and, the thought process
of our elders which we all have inherited.
Wearing torn/ragged clothes was a taboo; symbol of being
financially poor, and even inauspicious. Combed hair was only right way to
groom. Coloring of hair was only thing of masking age. Huts and mud houses were
the residence of poor/villagers…and many more things.
We are witnessing since many years, the fashion statements
are changing. The ragged jeans are costly. The wrinkled casual wears are
preference. The different hair styles which are not properly combed; interior
designing of hotels and theme resorts giving feel of village or countryside.
We see, people creating pieces of art from the waste products
thus recognizing beauty in what is considered useless.
Acceptance of certain jobs as career which were considered as
low status jobs like, an MBA is working in a retail chain and talking about the
price of potato to a customer, hair cut is no more a low status job, rather a
chain of lavish saloons is seen to be a symbol of success in career and, aspires
many.
An old job of a tailor has now become a sparkling career for
many as boutique owners or fashion designers.
What does it suggest?
Beauty is in every particle. Only our perception categorizes it
beautiful or ugly. The ethos is getting more liberal. The inter-caste and
inter-religion marriages are no more taboo in urban areas for many… (Still a challenge
in rural areas …).
Even ragged looks is recognized as beauty. It is all we are
recognizing through our physical realities.
The Challenge…
Challenge is…we recognize it as per our convenience. I may
appreciate certain looks when I see in others but may get mad if I see my
wife/child in same looks.
What does it conclude?
Energies are changing thus, our perceptions. The thoughts of
previous times are transforming and thus newer perceptions are forming
gradually. As our thoughts will transform, our acceptance and recognition of
the eternal beauty lying in each and everything, will come to our understanding.
As these transformations will impact our journey, we will
recognize, beauty or ugliness, likes or dislikes, love or hate...are only perceptions in a given slot of time we have chosen to live in. At the end of the day, everything is only a creation with no tags attached to it, and only presented to us for our acceptance of all our realities unconditionally, understanding the core of ourselves, that is, the unconditional love.
Have a transforming
week ahead…
