While fixing it up...!

Couldn't do without sharing this part of a beautiful story I read this morning;

“…climbing a Himalayan mountain in search of a Swamiji seemed like a task. To climb up the mountain was not his kind of activity yet facing all those hustles, difficulties and extremities was surely worthy enough against the quest of knowing the answer to his question, to which he has been in search all this while. As informed by a few, he was asked to greet the Swamiji in a certain way of bowing down in front of him. 

Alas! When he reached that part of the mountain where Swamiji was sitting in his meditativeness… he bowed to him in the way explained, to which the Swamiji opened his eyes and blessed him. Looking at his worn-out condition then, Swamiji asked, “What has got you here?”

With utmost precipitation and excitement the man (in a hurried state with several thoughts rushing into his head) finally could ask his question , “Swamiji, please tell me what is life?”.

By the way this man aged 60… weird that he was asking this question at 60… it should have been asked when he was 6 or may be 16, anyway better late than never. 

Swamiji replied with a blissed smile and sparkled joy in his eyes saying, “Life is a gentle breeze with pleasant scent of jasmine having sparkling dew drops on it!”

This man was baffled with such an answer and said, “But back in my town all these years I was always told that life is like wretched thorns…” 

To that Swamiji, in his response said, “Well then that is what their life was about.”

Indeed true.

To experience LIFE is as simple and joyous as it is to live in it.
But then an attempt to understand life is made and the difficulty begins. All of a sudden it becomes painful like those wretched thorns.

Well if it’s so simple then why don’t we do it the simple way. Guess, the simplicity is certainly hijacked by the Monotony into everything and anything... happening around us. And surprisingly we also refrain to outgrow from it.

It’s in our face on daily basis; that on a certain day we be like ‘we are rolling in hay’ and on other days ‘be in a huff and sulk the way all along’. If the blame game had to be played; infinite contingencies can be inferred to. And if at all you were to take charge of yourself on this note, the reason and solution is none other than just ‘YOU'.

It’s equally interesting and confusing  at the same time. 

To add to it the dramatic shift of choices and chances shall just continue forever and ever... And Of-course that isn't a big deal.

About time this debate between the choices and chances is unwarily ongoing.

However I know that I have definitely managed to reach somewhere than being lost.

Just trying to make sure to be the CHOICE that I would choose to adorn so far. And take-up all the CHANCES them I wished had never given a pass (also I do drop a few of them, the chances which surely are unworthy of taking up ).

It’s eventually all about why and why not?

Repeating it again, LIVE it up! Definitely it’s never you who would find life while searching for it, but its life that hits you hard while you are unknowingly in a fix of fixing-up your own damn thing.  

In my case, I’m surely trying to fix up a few situations and would never give up on my side of search until life dares to confront me!!
