Tonight, I listened to a story on the efficiency of chaos and remembered a boat I photographed while in India last year. This ferry boat was preparing to depart Dhubri for villages far along the Brahmaputra river in Assam. Piled aboard was furniture, food, livestock, electronics, people, a floating everything of beautiful chaos. Where everyone, every piece of everything before, behind, and between, was organized naturally in its right place. This evening while listening to Sadhguru and editing a new project, I began to understand why visual chaos feels so comfortable and how bringing order to everything is futile. His words on chaos gave an understanding of why we should let go of unconscious habits in photography and life. And how bringing order (in photography too) causes us to suffer, creating a pattern of repetition. How we do and see the same thing, unaware we are sustaining this habit. Our futile attempts in bringing order to everything around us (and within), so it is sufficient, is pointless. He shared two ways of looking at this, so beautifully real, like this boat…”There is a manicured garden which looked very perfect. There is forest which looks like chaos. But, the manicured garden, if you don’t manage it for one month, it’s finished. There is no garden left. A forest has managed itself for a million years and still goes on. Which is more efficient? Which is more orderly? Forest is far more orderly and far more efficient. But it’s not fitting into your logical framework, that’s all. This is what enlightenment means. That from being a manicured garden, you become a forest. Because it sustains upon itself, it doesn’t need anything from outside…It is the efficiency of chaos.”
