Public appreciation is the source of fame but the best strands of this fabric of life lie beyond human gaze. In silence they fill the void and in silence they slip away. Secondary souls occupy the centre-stage of surface life while the visionaries dive deep to pick up the pearls of realisation. The performer delights the crowd gathered at the shore with his acrobatics on the surface of the sea while the seer searches for the gems deep down, oblivious of the traffic and the concourse at the gateway of life while life and light elude the multitude and their entertainer of ephemeral dreams even as the shadows lengthen to carry cartloads of them into the vast unknown.
Such is the phenomenon that life is where the best elements are to be discovered and are not dished out by Nature on a silver platter. The delicacies are served deep where the eye gazes not from the surface blue but the soul senses their fragrance and is drawn within to witness the sheer grandeur of the inner spectacle far beyond the glitter and glitz of this shimmering surface dream.
