THE STORY OF "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"


Once the 2 enemies of human

Anger and jealousy 

Had a bitter fight with the other 2 enemies

Pride and greed..

"We are ever the targets. Whatever we do to gain, people see us on face and criticize us. You both remain behind taking that ultimate benefit passing discrete smiles around often making people believe that you are innocent and doing the right other than showing your original avatars once in a way..

Do something concrete in front of people and give us some rest..  

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

Exploded anger and jealousy..

"We are never in your way. We are silent in our actions of propelling human because that is our nature. You are the external appearances of our inward thrust in human.That is the nature of human and we no way are responsible here..

Stop pointing us out unnecessarily and feel grateful that because of us only, you make a living.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

Hit back pride and greed..

All along the other 2 enemies of human desire and delusion were watching the fight..

They both looked at each other with a wink and the next moment..

"What's this? I am tied total and unable to act. What happened?"

Cried aloud anger..

"Me too.. Unable to move an inch.. What's going on?"

Saying, jealousy joined that crying..

"Forget you two both.. We both have totally become useless..You will have a say only if we both can do something!"

Shouted pride and greed..

Soon, all '4' looked at each other helpless beyond..

In distance,

Desire and delusion

Were seen smiling and waving equally saying,

"You '4' have life only if we overpower human and act on the person. Remember, you've a job only if we silently work in the person else you have to beg. Stop all meaningless fights and start acting together..

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

DELUSION.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?



That evening, the 5 enemies of human

desire, anger, greed, pride and jealousy

Called for an emergency meeting with Satan. Desire said,

"My dear friends, of late, our friend delusion is too active in human. Because of that, we've become almost jobless..

Look at me.. The moment, I, try propelling the individual, the person says,

'This desire is the root cause of all my misery. Let me say NO it and remain firm!'"

"I am no way welcomed.. The moment I try surfacing in the individual, the person says,

'This anger spoils all my relations. Let me say NO it and remain firm!'"

Said anger feeling helpless..

"These days, I am looked down a lot. I try a bit working in the human, the person says,

'This greed does eternal damage. Let me say NO it and remain firm!'"

Said greed not knowing where to go..

"I have become nothing these days. I start appearing in the human, the person says,

'This pride in no time puts down. Let me say NO it and remain firm!'"

Said pride looking expressionless..

"I am the last to be welcomed here.. Before I start propelling the human, the person is already firm,

'None likes me exposed with jealousy. Let me say NO it and remain firm!"

Said jealousy feeling totally let down..

Satan looked at delusion and said,

"You heard, what your friends say? Do your bit!"

"I am already doing.. They should have patience for a while. They have not seen my other garb!"

Replied delusion..

"What's it?"

"See now!"

Saying thus, delusion was off from the scene and human was different instantly..

"What a waste of time I did all these days? Forget; let me get into my active life!"

The next moment,

Desire propelled the individual, the person became doubly possessive..

Anger propelled the individual, the person started madly fighting with others..

Greed propelled the individual, the person started accumulating to the last penny without looking back..

Pride propelled the individual, the person became too haughty even for a request..

Jealousy propelled the individual, the person became expert in comparisons in no time..

Delusion beamed..

"That's my capacity of overpowering human..

On and off I appear and disappear, but ever I hold the person; I wear mesmerizing garbs!"

APPEARS NEAR BUT REMAINS FAR!


  • My truthful living is a fact in front of me but my ignorance is a double fact behind me..
  • My truthful living helps in my life but that alone can never lessen my ignorance unless a miracle happens..
  • My truthful living indirectly makes my pride go up however careful I may remain and there my ignorance plays a major role making me not see that..
  • My truthful living many times remains copying a great personality unless I constantly chase my own ignorance..
  • My truthful living brings me certain peace of mind but that peace can wither away in no time when I do not remain cognizant of my ignorance..
  • "I got the point!" is my assertion on my truthful living; "I got the hold!" is the double assertion of my ignorance behind that!
  • My truthful living is out of divine intervention and guidance; the discipline I stick to getting that living into my personality is out of my ignorance equally intervening and misguiding me..
  • My truthful living sure makes a dent in my life if certain sacrifice from my end is voluntarily chipped out; if not double sure my ignorance makes a harder dent on me by coloring that sacrifice and making me speak volumes on that..
And

  • My truthful living becomes my indirect untruthful living if I don't accept my ignorance. Again it remains untruthful living even if I accept that but remain inattentive!

ONENESS AROUND! #WRITEAPAGEADAY


A man wanted many things in his life. He worked hard for all those. But he was knowing that unless Providence favors, nothing comes through and that way he was a firm believer of God. In respect of all important activities where there would be a reasonable gain, he necessarily used to pray to God before initiating the work. He thus theorized his activities and made it known to everyone around thus.. 

“Wherever I go, I have only two works. Making a Gain and visiting the Worshipping places. No other activity!”

Thus he became too materialistic in his life..

During one of those days, he visited a Saint at his place before starting a new errand. The Master blessed him and said, 

“Your wish of today will be fruitful soon!” 

And the proposed venture was a big success!

After a few days, he staked one more and before venturing, he again visited the Great man. The Master blessed him as usual and it was again a grand success. He was thrilled beyond.. 

The 3rd time, he planned a very big venture, with full attention and prayerful attitude approached the Master and the Master blessed him as usual. In no time, The approach became a total failure! 

The man was too restless and straight away headed to the Master to know how that went wrong. The Saint looked at him, smiled and said, 

“You got what you wished for!” 

The man was at his wits end..

The Master continued, 

“Dear! When you wished for fulfillment of worldly interests, all of them together with gain and loss are the entities involved. So how does it matter which one you got? Still you got the worldly activity fulfilled for you!”

At this point of time, The man instantly understood that

When he wished for a gain in the world, the loss was by the side, 

When success was aimed at, failure was with it as inseparable associate and 

When possession was sought, non-possession was part of it! 

He thought, 

“The wisdom of living lies in 

Planning broadly for betterment, 

Praying God for guiding in that direction and

Taking whatever results come as offerings from God..

Nothing more than this is ‘my own’ here and the activities thus have to continue as much in my life!"

COMPLACENCY IS EVER OUT OF PURVIEW OF ASSIGNED TASKS! #WRITEAPAGEADAY


A man of mid 30s was a bit complacent in respect of the crucial activities in life and his answer for any questioning on that behavior was a little pathetic and strange. With justifying statements like, 

“Nothing will come with you. We have to leave all this and go one fine day. hence just do the the minimum for living and thus be contented. All great men and women too have advised us to contain ourselves and lead a simple life. 

The Great Saint said,

"I need not work!"

Another Saint said,

"Work for work sake and when you find time stop working and meditate!"

Seen thus, there is no ultimate use of all these doings and we will be caught more and more in bondage as we do more and more. Continue doing a decent job with certain earnings and take care of yourself and your family and just be doing these and be at peace!”

Thus, he used to support his attitude..

An elderly well-wisher happened to be a man of wisdom listened to this talk for a while and at length decided to correct the man gently and firmly bring him back to the vigorous action front. Accordingly, on a holiday, he met him and after a few specific enquiries said, 

“Dear! I am seeing you for the past sometime being complacent in your required actions. Are you doing all this in the right way?”

The man instantly replied with all confidence, 

“Sir! What I tell is truth and I am sure I don’t want anything here more than this. I’ ll just help out my dependents to become capable and if they want they would find their own ways of making their riches and getting into comforts. There is no need for me as well it is no duty with me to help them beyond!”

The elderly smiled and replied, 

“See, my dear! It is not the issue that some one wants from you or you yourself don't want many things.You have certain capabilities with you in the form of good health, strength, education and contemporary knowledge of living.  Further you live among the similar type of people in your society who are all doing many activities to the best of their abilities!” 

The elderly paused and continued, 

“Till you know the true reason which prompts you from refraining doing all these specified actions, the right way in front of you is start doing these very actions whether the wealth, name and fame come with you or not. You are no one here to judge yourself and stop these actions.. 

When you stop all these actions and reason out thus, I can only say that you are not talking out of any great wisdom in you except that either your own lethargy or fear of venturing is making you to talk like this!” 

"???????"

“Yes, dear! The Great Men and Women have talked as you say only when they had really seen the Truth in life and thus were truly free from the burden of bondage.  Even then, all Great Personalities too continued their activities with them as long as they were part of the society and they kept off only when their Knowledge was more useful to the world in another direction..

But for people like us, the actions in front alone are the real saviors of life and God is forever watching us how devotedly we do these actions and how honestly we do. Rest is His Grace on us and we don’t know when that descends on each individual but never on the man of sluggish actions!”

A GOOD JOB TICKED BY THE ALMIGHTY! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

It was

THE TOUGHEST MOMENT OF LIFE..

The blame,
The abuse,
The rebuke


And what not hit the Heart hard and in the process the Personality was almost brought down to zero with a squeeze in the heart..

But strangely the man affected firmed up,

“I’ll not yield by reacting but only act as required!”

Thus passed a certain time with nothing but

Confusion,
Aimlessness and
Sadness


Alone ruling all along..

Strangely the same time again did a wonder to him with the tension setting to withdraw slowly but never accepted the defeat and exited only to return at the next appropriate hr with double intensity!

The man too not accepted a victory there. With all humility, he repeatedly made it clear to his mind that he

Would not give back even if a volcano erupts 


Nor 

Would celebrate if stood through

But

Would just do the Right never interfering with the others' decisions!

The dark clouds,
The roaring thunders,
The pouring rain
and
The gusty winds

Soon became a thing of the past with

The sun returning back to clear skies and calmness prevailing around..

In the process, the trees which reacted and opposed in a hurry had a severe hit where as the grass that never reacted but acted remained intact..

And the man's calmness too returned in a certain time intact after all that storm within..

Having seen the drama of his mind so clearly, the man once for all firmed up to manage coming up situations with a smile alone with Peace that had set in the process itself paving way for

More humility and less aggressiveness in him.. 

And ultimately, thru' such Sacred Discipline alone

TRULY A GOOD JOB

Was done in the Eyes of God!

THE YOUNG ADULT'S SPIRIT OF EXPERIMENTATION IS GOD'S GIFT! #WRITEAPAGEADAY


“I got fed up with the attitude of my fellow. See Sir, these youngsters do not know how to plan and do their activities. They simply have odd plans and try to get into nonsense situations. They never see the true cause and effect. I am sick of advising and telling my fellow. He simply wastes a lot and never bothers about it.

He plans some thing and leaves in the middle.
He gets into with lots of enthusiasm and in no time all is watered down.
He promises to show the moon, thank God, many times I stopped him.

I don’t know when this boy becomes alright and stops giving me head aches!”

Thus spoke a father with a clear disgust on his face to an elderly well-wisher about his son who was sitting tight on his head!

The well-wisher listened to all, paused a while, smiled and said,

“My dear! I understand your turmoil. I too recommend that the youngsters are to be guided in all these issues at the right time. But the important thing here is that all the time they be guided gently and softly alone. Never in a harsh way! It is better we constantly explain the cause and effect and if possible make them party to both so that the immediate issues are seen and partly experienced by them without much damage as we will always be at their back….

See! The young adult alone has the jest to learn and experiment and he/she with all inquisitive spirit and energy always rushes in that direction..

The only thing is..

He/she does not have enough resources to do that and we only have them! So as a first step, the caretaker should allow him/her go ahead with the experimentation. May be

Some times it goes in an entirely different direction of growth and up lift which no one would have thought of,
Some times some improvement beyond which every thing tapers off,
A few times no growth at all and once in a way a down fall too..


All are equally possible but the experimentation of the young man should go on without a stop.

Let the monies and energies that go in this direction be limited and well be under control so that the entire loss if it occurs too, has no effect on immediate life!

Such experimentations done in youth bring or give the right personality to the young adult which stabilizes very much in his / her later part of life.And

It is a sin to put a total brake to it or allow it only at chocolate level which is as good as not allowing it!”
