HAPPY MAHA SHIVRATRI.. A SOLUTION TO THE ENDLESS RESTLESSNESS!

That night before going to sleep, I was feeling restless with the single thought..

"My whole life appears meaningless at this point of time!"

As I went into deep sleep with such a thought, God appeared in my dream and said,

"I'll give you one chance in your life at this point of time to

• Rewind into your past, 
• Make a single correction where you want and 
• Feel good for rest of your life!"

I was thrilled as I found that opportunity of making that one change was very much in front of me the next moment..

• I looked into my preteen age and thought.. 

'Sure if I can make a dent here, my life would turn be totally different to my satisfaction as there were some unpleasant experiences of being

Taunted and pulled up continuously..'

My consciousness instantly reminded me..

'Have you forgotten? That continuous disciplining alone made you

The right man of your life..

Else what would have you been today without that?'

• I looked into my youth and thought.. 

'Sure if I can make a dent here, my life would turn be totally different to my satisfaction as there were some unpleasant experiences of being

Humiliated and advised non-stop..'

My consciousness instantly reminded me..

'Have you forgotten? That continuous correcting alone made you

The capable man of your life..

Else what would have you been today without that?'

• I looked into my middle age and thought.. 

'Sure if I can make a dent here, my life would turn be totally different to my satisfaction as there were some unpleasant experiences of being

Thrust with responsibilities and expected to perform beyond..'

My consciousness instantly reminded me..

'Have you forgotten? The proper discharge of those responsibilities alone made you

The exact man of your life..

Else what would have you been today without that?'

• I looked into my advanced age and thought..

'Sure if I can make a dent here, my life would turn be totally different to my satisfaction as there were some unpleasant experiences of being

Cornered and made the victim of game play a few times..'

My consciousness instantly reminded me..

'Have you forgotten? Those on and off experiences of being singled out by the vested interests alone made you

The matured man of your life..

Else what would have you been today without that?'

• I looked into my present age and thought.. 

'Sure if I can make a dent here, my life would turn be totally different to my satisfaction as there were some unpleasant experiences of being

Ignored and not cared for once in a way..'

My consciousness instantly reminded me..

'Have you forgotten? That feeling of today of no great importance added to the total experiences of life truly made you

The complete man of your life!'

My dream ended there and as I got up and looked thru' the window, I could see the twilight of morning sun on the eastern horizon. I instantly folded my hands and joined the Shiv Dhyan Mantra heard on the distant loud speakers on the Auspicious Day of Maha Shivratri recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel..

'karcharankritam Vaa Kaayjam karmajam Vaa Shravannayanjam Vaa Maansam Vaa Paradham
Vihitam Vihitam Vaa Sarv Metat Kshamasva Jay Jay Karunaabdhe Shree Mahadev Shambo'

'Ode to the Supreme Lord (Lord Shiva) to cleanse the body, mind and soul of all the stress, rejection, failure, depression and all similar negative forces (in total called restlessness) one faces (in one's life)!'
