Bridging the Gaps
Bridging gaps after gaps makes one move to more and more congenial circumstances one after the other, and eventually one realizes one’s dream, and achieves one’s goal
By Mukesh Sharma
Up in the
endless expanse of the universe, all the planets and stars exist in their
respective places assigned by Mother Nature with discernible gaps. Down on the
earth, giant mountains steadfastly stand with deep depressions. Even in human
world, each man is born at a distinctive place with challenging gaps. To man,
progress lies in bridging the gaps after gaps – each crest is followed by trough, each piece of knowledge is preceded by the chunk of ignorance and each
answer is led by hordes of questions. Progress is an endless journey through gong
buoy and gaps.

| Bridging the Gap |
Ancient
rishis, Mahavira, and Buddha taught the world to bridge the gap between man and
God through spirituality.
Albert
Einstein made his best efforts to bridge gaps between earth and celestial
bodies through his ‘theory of relativity; Stephen Hawkins tried his level best
to bridge gaps with his well-reasoned hypothesis of ‘big bang theory’ and ‘black
holes’.
With the
acquired knowledge and material advancement, man landed on moon decades ago.
The rover is already treading on the Mars. The Parker solar Probe has reached
near the ever blazing Sun and incredibly touched its magnetic field. Bridging
the gaps after gaps further, man, no doubt, can dream to travel faster than
light, find out ‘another’ earth and eventually knock at the ‘gate of God’s
abode one day.
By Human
scale, particularly, in human society, the journey to coveted success begins
with self – bridging gaps between conscience, conscious mind and subconscious
mind and thus become a monolithic self to move further. The majority of people are
born as commoners but by bridging gaps after gaps through life, they become
men/women of great stature.
Despite his
humble origin, Narendra Damodardas Modi has also struggled a lot to bridge gaps
after gaps in his life – from a tea vendor to school, from school to adolescent,
from adolescent to RSS, from RSS to BJP, from BJP to common people at large and
today he is the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.
Undoubtedly,
man is born in a circumstances surrounded by many gaps. Bridging gaps after
gaps lead one to another better circumstances. Further the new circumstances
also come with many gaps. Bridging gaps after gaps makes one move to more and more
congenial circumstances one after the other and eventually one realizes ones dream
and achieves one’s goal. It is like a climb on the ladder where each rung up
the ladder is preceded by a gap and down succeeded by a gap. Thus an upwardly
mobile, rung after rung reaches the roof top.
So, to
start with bridge the gap between yourself and ego, and thus become one strong
self. Further, Bridge gaps with people around – relatives, neighbor, friends
and even unknown people with due respect and humility. One never knows whom one
might need in what circumstances. Even Bhagwan Ram had to seek the help of
Simians.
Success is
nothing but an art of bridging gaps within and outside, building bridges and
their proper maintenances.
