Labyrinth and Unrequited Love

 

Amir Khusrau Said:

🌱"The writ of destiny went thus:

The soul will be lost in love.

And in short, it went as it was writ."🌱

🍂I questioned myself where does the tormented soul who endures the pain of an unrequited love, lose itself ? It certainly isn't the void nor does it recede into the oblivion. Because that would mean death.

.

When I excavated my mind; mind full of tangled realizations, I found the answer lying on my mind's doorstep.

.

The soul loses its way in a high walled labyrinth of wakefulness. There is no escape out of it. The soul runs, finds many doors and windows but all are nothing but another gateways to another wakefulness.

.

The soul in its wakefulness sees world revealed. It witnesses the cruel world like no other soul can see. The soul that never loved, sleeps all along but those who loved, witness the crooked world in utter disbelief.

.

The soul longs for a sleep; deep and sound. It wails loud, but this is no easy job my dear friends. The walls are too high and strong; your wailing soul might not be able to break it.

.

Like a wounded lion in a cave, the soul rests inside the labyrinth. It waits for the wound to heal. But the soul knows, even if its healed it won't be able to escape the labyrinth of wakefulness.

.

Its the price you pay for losing your soul in love. Sleep you fancy and wakefulness proves a friend.

.

Perhaps that's the way things are in the kingdom of unrequited love.

.

To live inside the wakefulness is the biggest death of all. 🍂
