TEARS , THE DIVINE PANACEA !

Amongst the myriad blessings that The Almighty has showered on the human species, one of His most precious blessing is tears !! Tears are just not an expression of grief rather they are witness to several emotions that flit through the human mind constantly. They are not merely a form of lamentation or mourning. Though the human race has been created by Him for a significant purpose yet it is nothing short of a curse to be born and to go through the miseries of life that sorely affect the physical , mental, emotional sensibilities of His creation ! But He has endowed man with emotional strength,and the power of reasoning to handle the adversities of life. Nevertheless His most precious gift to mankind is the faculty of shedding tears ! It is the most effective cathartic measure to vent out , providing instant relief . It is the best cure for every malady. The cumbersome heart when burdened and heavy with emotional baggage immediately experiences a light feeling after the tears flow out . The misery , the agony whether physical or emotional may remain but that instant feeling of relief that fills the being is amazing.Tears have the power to soothe and heal ! This is a proven fact among humans ! In times of the worst calamities at times the shock hits so viciously and brutally that it snatches away all senses and reactions turning one into an emotionless hardened being . It is on such occasions that it is advisable to provoke the person to shed tears to get some immediate relief .Thus tears have the most tranquiliding and healing effect on hurting and psyches! It is unfortunate how this Divine elixir is misunderstood to be a sign of emotional weakness . It is shocking to find the apartheid as it has become gender based ! It has been ingrained in children that girls cry as they are weaklings and that boys should never shed tears for they are supposed to be strong. How pitiable is our upbringing that we deprive young innocent minds of God's gift of the highest form of emotional manifestation.. Tears of unalloyed joy overflow when we are genuinely moved or touched . Heartfelt genuine words of affection can touch one deeply bringing tears of love to the eyes . Needless to say that excessive happiness finds expression through tears alone.....even more than the cheek to cheek smiles ! The experience of Divine presence , the realisation of His kindness , the witnessing of His glorious , magnificent and majestic natural flaura and fauna as well as the sense of gratefulness for His uncountable blessings are all enough to bring tears to the eyes and when they start to flow unabashedly, the pleasure and peace experienced is indescribable ! Soulful music has the same effect as it touches the core of the consciousness. Heaetfelt devotional music in praise of The Lord often has the electrifying impact of moving one to tears causing a surreal experience. Happiness finds complete fruition when the eyes well up ! If only we shed our inhibitions and set aside societal pressures can we enjoy the blissful state that one experiences with the natural flow of unsuppressed emotional outbursts .It is then that one is unconsciously drawn into the sublime state of trance and meditation ! !
