Journey of Life
A youngster started his journey towards
exploring life:
While the youngster was moving forward, an elderly
person said, "this route will not take you to your destination, it will
lead you to a dead-end" the youngster did not take him seriously and, he
started walking & finally, he landed on the dead-end."
A voice said, "it is your ego that has
brought you to this dead-end when your ability to learn from others ceases,
your ego becomes your master, you turn to be its slave."
The youngster changed his path and started walking
in the other direction. He found some of
his fellow travellers doing better than him and said to himself, "People
with less intelligence and education are lucky" the voice said, "Your
envy does not help you in focusing on your growth, whereas it is burning
you with jealousy.
The youngster was very hungry and couldn't find a
hotel and said, "this place is sick, there is nothing to eat" the
voice said, your " anger never helps you to see things clearly and
hence you just crossed a hotel when you cursed your fellow travellers."
The frustrated youngster said, "nothing works
in my favour" and crushes the pamphlet, which had the address of helplines
for travellers. The voice said, " your ignorance blindfolds you
from seeing opportunities and making the right decisions."
As it was turning to be dark, the youngster with
fear said, " I am not sure, whether I will reach my destination
safely" the voice said, "out of fear, you are not able to see
a house with a light in front of you."
The youngster stood blank for a while.
Dear friends,
Every one of us is like this traveller who lives in Ego,
Envy, Anger, Ignorance and Fear without realising these outcomes were the
inputs of our raw material called thoughts.
Remember, without changing our thoughts, our journey
will neither be smooth nor; we will reach our desired destination.
