While I was in India I barely used the word ‘Wisdom’ and did
not have much clue about this powerful word in English dictionary; My little
knowledge with the word was due to the the term ‘Wisdom Tooth’. In a way Life
is very simple but in some other way life is too complicated – if they conduct
‘Neeya Naana’ I can be in either teams and win over audience since I believe
both are true. But one thing that makes the equation very complicated is how is
your life going to be – there are way too many factors that determine like
purna jenma paavam/punyam, current jenma paavam/punyam, any paavam/punyam by
our ancestors etc., Facing hardships can be very exasperating especially when
you start doubting your own strengths; any number of advice or philosophy can
turn you off since your mind is not willing to listen. But one who goes through
this phase with head strong and comes out of it can definitely be a much
matured human being.
Out of all the
proverbs the one I always cherish is ‘Whatever happens is always for good’; I
have experienced this many times. At that time it is tough to digest but the
rationale is revealed much later in the game and that is when knot is released.
Just imagine if everything happens as per our wish will we workship the way we
do? Will we be modest ? will we be thankful ? To some extent we may be but
success often closes our eyes and we tend to take things for granted. In order
for us to remain grounded, feel the gratitude, help our peers almighty play
games in the name of ‘Hardships’.
Many complain
‘Astrology’ is all fake and they are not ready to believe it – I can assure you
there is lot of hypocrisy out there !! I am one who firmly believe in astrology
though I do not know the technical aspects of it. If Astrology predicts
everything like when will you will buy a house or buy a car then will you have
the desire to work for it? You may tend to take it easy since you know things
will happen in particular timeframe; Even worse is lets say if Astrology can
predict when exactly will you die, then you may tend to play with snake or fall
from 50th floor since you know for sure you are not going to die
until this particular time. Astrology can give you heads up and it is upto you
to take necessary caution on your career and personal actions.
Gaining wisdom at a young age in a way is
good, there is an unofficial competition in my household between me and my wife
about who talks more wisdom. In a way I laugh at it and in a way I feel happy
since we are getting matured. A person who is trying to have a baby for a long time will laugh
at people who wants their kid to be a male/female, a guy who lost his job will
laugh at people who complain about commute time between work and home etc., Any
small act of kindness matters and it could be as simple as offering a banana to
a poor person. Just be happy and thankful of whatever you have today since you
don’t know how long will things last.
