“God is unfair to me. I am continuously suffering. There seems no end to my problems!”
Thus I was often complaining. An elderly well-wisher of mine called on me on a day and said,
“Dear! I've a solution to your problem. Take a white sheet, draw a line across the mid of the sheet and above that list out all your problems!”
“Dear! I've a solution to your problem. Take a white sheet, draw a line across the mid of the sheet and above that list out all your problems!”
I quickly wrote the long exhaustive list of mine well fitted into the half page. A big one indeed!
“Now below the line, write down the problems which you see with people around you and which are not with you!”
I started writing all those and soon I was at the end of the paper..
"Please take one more sheet and write the left out!"
"Please take one more sheet and write the left out!"
I was about to do that but my consciousness warned..
"No.. That paper too will be over in no time and the next one too. There's no end to that if you start writing. The memory of yours which had meticulous seen, recorded, compared, felt the comfort of not having that with pity out flowing copiously.. Yes.. Truly a list that never ends!"
"No.. That paper too will be over in no time and the next one too. There's no end to that if you start writing. The memory of yours which had meticulous seen, recorded, compared, felt the comfort of not having that with pity out flowing copiously.. Yes.. Truly a list that never ends!"
The well-wisher smiled and said..
“Dear! At one stage, you may be afraid of even to think of these problems/difficulties which were not there with you at any point of time in your life. But you very well know as well as you see people around living with these problems. And further you might have seen many times smiles too on their faces..
If we are honest, let's feel for those people and do something concrete to help them in times of their difficulties.. Compared to their strain, ours is nothing and God is truly kind to us!
Once you fall in love with such a sacred attitude and start doing that great Yagna of your life, I'm sure there after, you'll never search for a complaint book to register your problems as you would be truly a king within yourself may be only the physical crown missing. Don't you want that
Crest Jewel of Pure Love
Be your companion for the rest of your life?"
And right at that moment without a say there, I truly fell in love the second time in my life with all my senses remaining 100% awake!
The Post is written in line with the Indispire Prompt With all your senses, "Fall in Love - One more time"#FallInLove
Keywords: MURMURS, END
That is an interesting take on the prompt. If we truly awaken our senses, and become harmonious with those around us as well as our inner goodness, life will be worth living again.

DeleteYes, everyone is having problems in life. One needs to fight with them rather than complaining for the same. Great post indeed sir.
ReplyDeleteIt also reminded me one of the old song.

Logon ka gam dekha to main apna gam bhul gaya. "
