Fire. Humanity depends on it. Fire is an essential material. We depend on fire, unlike animal species, in our daily lives. We cannot imagine our existence without fire. Myriad uses for fire. We use it nonchalantly, despite the potential for fire to cause calamitous damage. Are we unconcerned because we possess complete knowledge about fire? What right do we possess on such a volatile material to casually deploy it in our daily life? Delve deeper to discover that we ingest fire when we enjoy a hot meal. Educated and uneducated, equally, utilize fire with indifference. Does humanity possess a manual to exploit fire? Every product we purchase comes with a manual, or instructions. Where are the instructions for employing fire?
Fire. Everything we witness with shape, form, and color is due to the presence of fire. The presence of fire provides us with the riches of our physical world. If we witness a shape, it is because of fire. Color of an object, due to fire. The magnitude of fire may vary from object to object, but it does not exist without fire. Air is invisible, shapeless, and colorless because fire exists in an infinitesimally small ratio. Fire commands every object we utilize. We are only aware of the combustive existence of fire. Combustion is fire taking total command of the object. Fire does not exist only in a combustive state. It exists, latently, in everything with shape, form, and color.
Fire. We enjoy hot food. Fire particles penetrate food to make it hot. The process of cooking is controlling the fire quantity at the molecular level. Heated beyond the limits, food burns. Within limits, taste is intensified. Taste is nutrition activated for absorption by our body. Work of fire. Food remains tasty only until the fire particles remain lodged within food. When fire departs, food turns rotten. Where does fire go? What does it do when it leaves? Physical science mandates that matter is neither created, nor destroyed. Does it report to a higher authority? What are the conditions decreeing departure of fire particles?
Fire. Like a spy, witnesses everything in this universe. It exists in everything from molecular to galactical worlds. Ubiquitous element. Fire is the truth in everything with a name. Fire radiates ubiquity with illumination and heat. Dormant, its existence in the coldest places, is not an absence of fire. It is reverential subservience to the paternal relationship with the air. Combustive, and destructive, illuminative, and radiative, and omnipresent, and witnesser turns obeisant for human indulgence, and benevolence demonstrates how nature empowers human race to ascend higher. Observe a branch on a tree. When the branch is part of the tree, the branch possesses life. Fire elements within the branch are dormant. If the same branch dislodges from the tree, the fire element in the branch gets activated to turn the branch to wood. Did the element of fire not witness the condition of the branch? Proof that fire is ever alert to the changing circumstances.
Fire. An omnipresent element’s obeisance to humanity should be evaluated in the context of truth. Fire exhibits, truth, always. In distinguishing, young, and old, aware, and unaware, rich, and poor, or sentient, and insentient, are subjected to the quality of fire. Truth, like fire, does not abide by arbitrary rules of engagement. It is absolute. It is resolute. It exists with, or without our acknowledgment. If we can recognize it, the Universe bows to us just as fire’s obeisance to a human being despite our meager existence.
Four. Birth, growth, breed, and death. Every element in our cosmos experiences the four stages of life. Sentient, and insentient. Molecular to galactical experience the same phenomenon all around us. The impeccable order is the same for every atom in our Cosmos. Be it the rays of the Sun, waves of the oceans, movable and immovable life, humans and beyond. The mundane truth repeats, endlessly, in times past, present, and future. What could be the purpose for such relentless repetition in the cycle of life? Human race is the beneficiary of such incessant cyclical movements. Cosmic cyclical dance for human indulgence. Everything surrounding us is much larger, and potent than our meager existence. Look, laterally and vertically, under the microscope and with a telescope, send a probe into deep space and land a rover on a planetary surface, station a man in space, or man walking on the surface of the Moon, every inch covered with mystery. Elusive to our comprehension, yet ever indulgent to meet human needs.
Four. Duty, reward, desire, and destination. Cosmic dance, and obeisance to humanity is, only, for these four things in life. Truth of life exists in, only, these four words. The other 8,399,999 species occupying land, air, and water are incapable of making choices on these essential qualities of life. As mysterious as the cosmos is to both cosmologists a5555nd commoners, the four essential aspects of life are an enigma for the vast majority. Four profound words, yet simple. Is not our Universe the same, profound, and simple. Every atom in our world is burdened. Only the sentient can unburden the load of life. Truth unburdens life, just like fire brings out nourishing nutrients with heat. Truth nourishes life. Nourished life disentangles life from cyclical movements. Cosmic interest lies in extricating humanity, because it cannot afford to lose the sole liberating entity to ignorance of modernity. Who will win the fight with Cosmos? Modernity, or Post-Modernity?
