The story of a man

"There was this man...he had everything, and nothing to worry about...yet, his mind was anxious as he used to worry too much...At times, he would drop off everything and at times he would carry over the burden"...As i was reading this, my wife couldn't stop giggling, since it seemed to be a rather accurate description of the person reading it...I was in a fix, should i acknowledge it or should i ward it off saying, it isn't me...But, more than answering her, i had to answer myself...After all, may be while reading this from baba's chapter, baba wanted me to get this message: To stop worrying about needless things...And may be stop trying to outmaneuver others and start focussing on excellence...leaving the result part to GOD....

From Gita to 3-idiots, this seems to be the message...Not worry about the results, but focus on excellence....How helpful it would have been, if this simple message was easy to follow...My day ends me trying to etch the message into my heart and my mind, but somehow as the night vanishes, so does the lessons i learnt...I come to office, something happens, my supersensitive brain takes note of that and i start all over again....May be this is not such a bad thing..Afterall, lessons learnt the hard way stay longer with you...I think my disposition in particular is that of a cynic to notice the bad things in life and also be affected by them and hence these difficulties...wouldn't it be nice if i could be like that butterfly that moves from one happy flower to the next? why do i have to that loathsome creature that notices the darkness of things? Enough bashing of myself, but may be it is good to evolve from the dark side of things...Well, one thing that i can try is to invoke baba to my rescue and think of returning to innocence, back to the days when i was 17 and all i wanted to do was love god...that would be a good journey, in seeing on how i changed over the years and how my wishes which were more spiritual turned materialistic...Well, that is for another blog and for another day...for now, let us be content with the fact that those good-old days are not forgotten and that attempts are being made and will be made to restore them...Amen!
