It has been raining since night, and now what a fine morning it is. The rain has gleaned the pollution from the environment, and has cleansed the surroundings. Its a perfect day for a Date. I think, we should go for a walk, Shall we? Get ready soon then, we shall reach the park before its too late to miss the sunrise.
Lets move into the park. Oh, clean leaves, pathways, air, really it has been a long time since we entered into a park. Lets look at the sun rise, and savour the morning beauty. The chirping of birds is a lovely song to the ears. Now lets observe our companions.
I am not amazed to see a yoga shivir in the park. I count, there are 9 people sitting on the grass and doing yoga. On observing closely, I find that they are reciting some sholkas. It is heartening to note the quality of pronunciation and the unison of speech. I feel like sitting here for a while. But look into the eyes of those men, and gestures of women. I realise that the act is performed under boundation. Some are fighting from diabetes, or some are trying to get good health.
Meanwhile the reciting continues, lets have a glance around us. I am pleased to see a formidable presence of youth in the park. Infact, their sedentary job demands some physical exercise, and they are rightfully committed to health care. Along with them, I can find many rich people, in flamboyant attire, jogging up and down to reduce the belly or to relieve the tension. The park is replete with all age group and gender.
Do you have time? I just want to conduct one exercise. Dont worry, its not yoga or anything. I hope you will enjoy this also. So lets, begin!!
Just observe the young people; do you see a common thing? Ya, you have rightly pointed out, the next generation I-pod. The music instrument presents it selves in plethora of forms, and makes a glittering presence around us. Its really painfull to see that in such natural settings, where chirping of birds brings peace to mind, and tranquillity to body, we are still engrossed with artificial songs. Another grimace that you may notice is the downward glance. Its almost common in all people present everywhere. Eveyone is thinking about the other things. It appears some are ruminating over the life problems, while others are meticulously planning the day.
The morning walk has two objectives. Meanwhile the body continues to run and maintain health, you can continue to plan and act smart. I will not be amazed, if few of them boast of this dual hit with a single shot.
After observing them for few mins, I suddenly realise something. This gave me an invaluable insight of what we are doing to our lives. What a mercy and what a mess we have build around us. If god would have been sitting among us, he would have noticed certain things about mankind, Human beings.
They get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.
They loose their health to make money, and then lose their money to restore the health.
That by thinking anxiously about future, they forget the present, such that they neither live in present nor in future.
That they live as if they will never die, and die as if they never lived !!
Today, at whatever level we are. Its only because of twe reasons :
The Hardwork that we have put in. and Most important reason is
We have taken birth in a family which was capable enough to provide us education and food.
The poor, the orphan, the underprivilege, has committed a single mistake: taken birth in a poor family.
We all have 75 years of life. In this you can create enormous wealth or blossom Smiles across poor children. The choice is yours. In former you leave a legacy for your family (4-5 indiviuals) but in the latter you leave the world as a much better place to live !!! In either case, you will leave this earth ALONE.
