Today I was lovingly woken up by my alarm an indication of kick starting a new day!
As i stepped out of the warmth of my home towards the jogger’s park, i had a tryst with truth several times. By then the sun had majestically occupied his position in the sky. He was there to overshadow the darkness of the night. The rays of the sun gave me a morning kiss as an indication of an entire new beginning.
I started to walk and embark on the new day granted by the supreme power by reciting my favorite mantra
ॐ त्रियम्बकं यजामहे, सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनं
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मोक्षिय मामृतात्
How true it is! Nothing is constant. Everything that has come into existence has to seize on day. This is true for even this moment, the time; this very second will die to give way for a new one, a new hope, new rootage!
So why do we fear of death? Let’s embrace it and hug it tight because even before you know it will be gone.
This brings me to a conclusion, don’t ever harp on your past glory as the time is just your guest and will bring in new curves in your life. At the same time my dear friends don’t let worries bog you down, tell them “Bring it on”!
My tryst with truth continued. With so many shades of life enfolding in front of my eyes! My eyes got stuck on a Grandpa reliving his childhood days by playing with his growing granddaughter. A sight to behold!
As I moved forward my attention was grabbed by two moms sharing the tales of their daughters, the constant switch in their expression expressed their inhibitions and deep love
Suddenly I came across again two moms discussing a grave issue, probably complaining about their daughters in law
Just as sun was playing joyfully in his playground, in the sky, the ground was filled with children, all of them aspiring to become Sachin Tendulkars! Hats off to their tenacity & commitment!
Finally the most beautiful part of my tryst was this little cute puppy, the cynosure of the entire experience. He would chase and scare all the walkers. And to my surprise he actually managed to do that! What does that adumbrate? Yes! Size does not matter; it’s your presence, it’s you who can make a difference!
So what are you waiting for? Stand up and start now, don’t wait for a second chance!
To end my encounter with truth and to start a new one,
“ Each day, each one of us know that we are nearing the final day, the day we will be dissolved and engulfed by time, but every day we strive live a better life and distance our thoughts from a word called mortality…..This is optimism!”
Make the Difference!
