THE ENDLESS STORY OF MY 'YES' AND 'NO!'

When wrong is proposed by the powerful, it is very difficult to say 'NO' but very easy to say 'YES!'

To make that my 'YES' a 'NO', I should have done a lot of homework before, which my ignorance kept me off from doing and that story continues even today..

Here alone, I should become alert and firm up within that a 'NO' to wrong is my ultimate aim but not immediate as an 'YES' now, straight away protects me..

Having said, 'YES' to the wrong doer thus, I shouldn't become lax but relook into my situation of changing that 'YES' to 'NO' as much and thus work out in a concrete way

To fill my life with the right 'YES' and the right 'NO'..

The No1 step of myself remaining strong enough for changing this 'YES' to 'NO' in respect of the wrong of the powerful, is start doing my assigned duties from this moment saying 'YES' to sincerity there in and thus move on in my life..

As I move thus in my life, many wrongs come in my way at my own level for which I develop the right capacity to say 'NO' equally strengthening the right next to me thru' a double firmness to 'YES!'

My story of saying 'NO' to wrong and 'YES' to right continues thus non stop as I start this discipline of living with the right 'YES' and the right 'NO' very much surrounding me along with the related people of same tempo of 'YES' and 'NO' too..

Thus I move on in time,

Carefully weeding out many wrongs thru' 'N' no of 'NO's and welcoming many rights thru 'N' no of 'YES's endlessly

All alongs streamlining my 'NO' and 'YES' with greater ease of course

The strength with me to say 'NO' to more serious wrongs purely coming thru'

The Cosmic Will

Alone; nothing less!

"DID YOU ACT IN THE RIGHT WAY TODAY?"

"Did you act in the right way today?"

I was queried..

"Why I won't do?"

I questioned with a curiosity..

"Because acting in the right way looks like a forced work at times and left to yourself, you wish to come out of it at the earliest!"

I was told..

"How?"

I asked. There was an answer..

"In respect of such actions 

Initially,
You smile and take up,
If continued,
You pretend you are 'OK' doing them,
Soon,
You start feeling when all that will be over,
Later,
You start murmuring within,
Next,
Your murmurs become louder,
If continued,
You start cursing it,
And beyond in short time..
You start yelling, saying,
'I'll not do!'

Knowing this well alone, the wise around attached as much those works as the actions to be done from your end where you take interest and involve heart and soul thus making sure that good is done around in general..
