Uncertainty Principle



Life can be a source of frustration or looked at in another way it can be a source of wonder.
 

Sometimes one looks around at the environment as one hikes through the space time continuum and tries to make sense of what is happening in the world. Sometimes it makes no sense whatsoever. And sometimes we perceive that we understand it all. 


But in both cases we could be wrong. In the first case the objective truth may be staring us straight in the eye and yet we fail to observe it. Sometimes what we think we know for a fact turns out to be a phantom . The moment we realise it, it seems to melt away into the shadows.


If Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is anything to go by, the universe behaves the way we observe it. You get what you look for. 


I knew recently that an event would happen and I would be disappointed. Call it premonition if you will, but I somehow knew. And now that is exactly what happened . Now did I find what I was looking for? Or did my gut instincts try to warn me not to head into the shady neck of woods that I assumed was a pleasant garden. I cannot say for certain. I am puzzled. 


A part of me says believe , but my gut says I am looking at a phantom. Something that is non-existent . It is telling me that like those simple hearted kids who believe in Santa, I believed in a mythical being. Though I see the object in space time, I do not really know the phantoms  in its brain. 


Then I tell myself, Baba knows best. I will just go about with my duty. Just because I won’t do something wicked, doesn’t mean I should expect the world to not be wicked. And since I know not anything for sure, I’ll just leave it all to Baba Sai and not jump to conclusions.
