There are days that I believe no Gods. There
are days when I believe in all Gods. Believing or not believing, I feel, have
got nothing to do with actually experiencing God or any of his miracles (if any
happen). It’s just that when I believe in God, I believe in all that is
beautiful and peaceful in his creation.
How often in our busy or not-so-busy day do we
set aside a few minutes for just trying to experience God? Very few would have
actually thought of it. When I say experiencing God, I mean appreciating myself.
As an adult woman or man we are so caught up in our daily grind that we never
ever stop to say “thank you” to ourselves…Gods’ greatest creation. I sincerely
believe that we are born pure. As we grow, we pick up things that attract us
and become the person we are today. We inculcate those habits which are more convenient
over those which would require some efforts to develop. How else do you explain
the variety in human beings?
No parent would ever want his or her child
to be a criminal or a serial offender or an anti-social element etc but we do have such people in our society. It’s been the
same ever since the evolution of man. Good and bad is what makes our world go
round. Yin and yang have to live together. Blacks and whites have to go hand-in-hand
to create all the colors that we enjoy in life. We need bad to appreciate what
is good. We have all Gods and so is Satan around. Isn’t it?
However I wonder, what stops black from
enjoying white; wrong to enjoy right or for that matter bad to enjoy good that
is there in our life? Everyone has 24 hrs in a day. No reservations or extra
helpings here.
Every day we are provided with an
opportunity to pick up what is beautiful and cherish it. Every day we are given
a chance to bring a smile to someone’s face or make their day. Every day we are
exposed to occasions where our helping hand can make easier for somebody to get
up or walk or sit down. Every day we end up situations where one pat-on-the-back
from us can motivate somebody to give their best. Every day we get windows
where one kind word from us can give someone the will to survive or fight
against all odds. It goes on and on and
on. We just need to be more alive and creative to do these. Happiness runs in a
circular motion. What we give has to come back to us. What goes up has to come
down.
Just look around and I am sure you will find
at least one opportunity for bringing a smile to someone’s face; make someone
feel wanted and respected. Every day one action to spread what is good in all
of us. Push yourself for it. It could be something like a “thank you” to your
wife or husband or parents or neighbors for being there; helping a friend finishing an assignment when s/he has run out of deadline; giving your cook off on a Sunday etc. Try out any one act, each day, when provided with an opportunity or better still create one, everyday, for the next 30
days. It will become a habit by then.
Life is for free and so are its most beautiful things.
