Unsafe Zone

Have you ever felt a sense of loss — a sense of losing everything, including your integrity, reputation, wealth, friendship, relations and pretty much everything that defines you as an individual? Have you ever had the fear of falling or the fear of burning? If so, then perhaps it is the right time to shut your eyes, trust your instincts and throw yourself with a greater force into an even dangerous space.

It is also the time to tread on the edge of surface with ‘pure awareness’. Just as you are writhing and wriggling with an intense sense of pain and suffocation, you need to come out of your shell into the bigger, brighter world. When you don’t try to break the shell, no new possibility will ever come. Also, unless you expose your vulnerable self to the attacks of the outside world, you do not grow as an individual. This is also a process of breaking our karmic cycle or habitual pattern of existence. Whenever you feel hemmed in or disgusted, you must pause and try to think about your way of leading your life so far. And in case you are seeking revolutionary changes or great transformation in life, you must change your way of doing things in a radical manner.
Maa Kaali, an avataar of Parvati, is considered to be a great anarchic and taboo-breaking force in the universe. She is supposed to be the slayer of all illusion and the harbinger of transformation. In mundane terms, when you discard your, say old, ragged phone, the possibility of getting a better one increases.

Or, when you have an extra-marital affair with say, a socially-disapproved person, you might be liberating yourself from all the conclusions and notions you had set for yourself. And living in an unsafe zone with all sense of awareness is perhaps far more fulfilling and intense than any other kind of emotions. You start living with a higher sense of purpose. And such level of consciousness leads to creation of your own destiny.
