The mind has its way;
it always does have something to say,
May it be light or
the stars twinkling bright,
It keeps working
while the body is at sleep,
Sometimes it’s happy,
many a times it weeps.
It weeps for it does
not get what it wants
It says pleasures and
ease is what an ideal situation flaunts
The mind cannot
fulfill something the body does not have
Yet we find some of
those Gifted ones are Happier than us
While complaining
endlessly did we miss the contentment bus
While we were
searching for something we did not have
They were content and
thanking about the things they had
I have something to
say-do listen my lad,
Practicing control over your mind by
refraining yourself from what the mind has to say requires extreme conviction. Imagine just-for-a-moment
if one of your limbs, an eye or any of the senses that you have used from the
start of today was defunct. How would your life have been! It’s a terrible
thought in itself.
It then makes me think as to how a
person with any of such disability lives such a happy and passionate life.
Their fight against their short coming makes them so strong, so STRONG that they do not have mundane
tasks and daily routines to complain about. Moreover, to be satisfied with whatever’s
still functioning in itself a huge price to pay. I would prefer calling such people Gifted. However the reason that a gifted
person is so happy is not just because his ear is devoid of the noises, it is because
the water of the mind is stable enough to accept
the ripples that life is full of!
Those that are devoid of some
common benefits have accepted themselves, including what is there and what is not.
They have accepted the fact that although its one negative, one down -there is still
a lot to be positive about.A lot to
be happy about.A lot we can still
cherish, still enjoy.
A contrast in our views, we find it
harder to first accept who and what we are, the way things are, rather we tend
to run towards those that aren’t there and should be.
Everyone has its own tale to tell.Why not accept the fact, what is!!
Why not learn to appreciate? Why
not face and deal with what comes,face to face,bravely!Have we become so
vulnerable to the challenges that life throws at us, that we give in to it by
complaining, making excuses, cooking up stories as to how differently things
could have been had we got a bit of this and a bit of that.
Life isn’t just about
inhaling and exhaling.Its about taking in whats there irrespective of the air
and giving what is needed by our fellows for their growth.
Life may not give
everything, it never can
Yet all that we today
have was something we wanted before
a time of span
To those fulfilled wishes
and needs, let us raise a toast
Cheers to living LIFE, while its still there- let us pledge to Live
it the most!
It’s all about living
mellifluously in symbiosis with whats around and what surrounds!
After all Life is to be lived, isn’t it?
