UNIQUENESS

UNIQUENESS

It’s the individuality that brings the uniqueness to an individual. Every one else is just the run of the mill product. This is true because of the personality layers. There are layers and layers of it on the real face, which is unique.

The first layer of personality is that of social formalities. When you meet a person, you try to establish the contact for communication by saying good morning with that cultivated smile. Deep down you know very well that the smile is not real. It’s just the social mask. Nothing wrong in it as such, but those who get stuck at this level, their whole life is wasted in just the useless formalities, etiquette and manners. This layer is necessary but most superficial layer and it has got no contact with life at all.

The second layer of personality is of games and roles people play. We all are playing various roles everyday. At home one may be a father or a mother, in office one may be playing the role of a manager, on the sports ground you may be a player and on battle field - a warrior. In this layer, if you are aware that you are playing a role and if you know the rules you can play the game. If you are not attached to your role, this layer can give you the glimpses of life. Otherwise it is dangerous as one can get stuck with the role-playing and forget the life.

The third layer is the layer of chaos. In chaos there are no rules hence most people feel frightened when they turn inward for the first time. Here, rules disappear and the identity is lost under the surge of chaotic energy. If one may remain aware and alert in this layer, soon the chaos is transcended and you land up in the orderly inner cosmos. If un-aware one may get the shock of the lifetime from this tidal wave of chaos and so much fear arises that one may never dare to turn back again!

The fourth layer is the layer of death. If one can remain aware throughout the third chaotic layer only then one can reach the fourth. After facing the chaos one has to face the death. This is the death of the ego, the fictitious or the pseudo identification with the body/mind organism.

The fifth is the layer of life. Here the life energy is absolutely free from any blockages hence it flows freely and spontaneously.

For the first hand experience of knowing these layers one should walk inwards, within one self. The inward journey unfolds into the uniqueness of individuality, just like a bud that unfolds into a unique flower. This uniqueness is available to only those who penetrate and transcend all the layers of the false personality. The original face of each one of us is so unique! It is the ultimate gift of life to life itself.
