Pass

The world is a tough place to live in.. day in day out, only 24 hours. Yet some are paupers and some are multi millionaires, some lived to a hundred yet some barely saw sunlight.

Everyday when we wake up in the morning, just what is the first thought that rushes to the mind? Is it the dreadful feeling that threatens to drag your whole day? Or is it with a prayer to God, thanking Him for another day?

Sometimes I look at my life, both of my past and those yet to come and I asked myself, 'Just why am I here?' There are times when I wished I was not born, like now when faced with a out-of-this-world stress that I dissipate ocassionally on my blog. But again, there are times when I just feel like yelling, telling the whole world that I would never want my life any other way. It is a constant battle I am fighting.

When the questions people ask themselves are 'what should I wear today?' or 'is my pimple noticeable?', I can only pity them, for they do not know real questions. Questions that they will never be able to answer with confidence because for them, material world is their only known living space. Spiritual world exists only when troubles come knocking on the door.

I am typing all these down not because I am feeling weak, or feeble, or timid or insane but instead I am typing this because I left today feeling strong, and confident, and proud of who I am. Absolutely no one can tell me what I should or should not do. No one can push me around, because I will rise, like I have risen today.

Once I heard of a challenge..

" Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every circumstances, in every place and in every time. Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me. Tell me is there any mantra?"

Indeed there is..

This too will pass.

Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent. They all come and pass away. Life just passes away.

There is nothing permanent in this world. Every thing changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks , all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. If there are problems in the present, they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away.

Who are you in reality? Know your real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change with the time. However, there is something in you, which will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that unchangeable? It is nothing but your true self.
