My Journey so far...
One of my first works in my foundational year in college. i had to depict my life journey metamorphically. Well, i have been quite honest, showing my quest for true knowledge, and the struggles that come with it, but this is actually half of the story. There's more happiness that comes with it, especially after the last scene but i couldn't fit it in the paper :)
i used charcoal, and two white chart papers of this artwork. The description of almost each drawing shown here is described in the captions of these images. Do check it out! Hope you like it :)
i am growing like a bamboo, first making my roots strong and then shoot up! i am also trying to figure out things by myself, being dependent on the little knowledge i have, and little do i know i can get distracted from this Path if not cautious.
Dual-faced and hypocrisy, how can i get out of it? Only if i surrender to the Pure Ultimate Knowledge. These books of knowledge are angels, miracles, and saviors in our lives.
Ever noticed your mind visiting the past again and again? We want to stitch up all that's lost, all that we lack, we're get tricked by our mind again and again, when will we ever understand this? What's the permanent solution to this?
Lust, Anger, Greed, jealousy, Envy and Pride... All are the root causes of all problems in this world. they come from within, and reflect in our actions. but with Proper knowledge on how to deal with them; one can get past the obstacles laid by them.
Struggling with opposing traits. i am like a touch-me-not sometimes, and other times, i am a Venus fly-trap. When will the battle of defeating hypocrisy end?
Our mind's like a fickle monkey that's drunk, that state made us give the key of control of our life to The All-devouring time. We're oscillating from being a gentleman to a mental man, viceversa... But knowledge about the Self will get us through this.
Gradually, being steady in pure knowledge, one becomes focused like Arjuna, the Famed Archer, Who has the mind under his control. Have an aim and everything else will follow.
Kind of a close-up of the transformations and metamorphosis of my life.
