discovery
text © Raj Arumugam, January 2008
Everyday, things and ideas are understood anew.
That is a moment of personal discovery. Without this discovery things are just things and ideas are dead.
And so each day, every day, and perhaps every moment someone understands things and ideas anew.
The thing may have existed for millions of years: but it must be seen anew.
The idea may be the most sacred by human reckoning - but without being seen anew, without being discovered by the person, it is just dead. The personal discovery gives it life.
And so each day, every day, and perhaps every moment someone understands things and ideas anew.
Someone looks anew at a chair and understands the chair. The concept. The construction. The one looks at the chair anew.
Someone looks anew at an idea, at a concept. Say justice. The whole of justice – as it is, in its entirety. Not bound by definitions and culture and revelations and pronouncements, but as it is. The whole of justice. The one understands. The one looks anew at justice.
So all things and ideas are discovered again and again. All things and ideas are renewed.
There is nothing that is sacred and beyond this discovery.
Without this discovery, without this renewal, without this looking anew, things are just things, and ideas and concepts and all our systems and most subtle ideas and most sacred ideas are just dead.
…discover…the complacent die…
