It’s a good time for me write something as its Sunday and I am sitting in office covering morning shift. Almost all of my work done which I planned to do in today’s shift. So what to write that’s what I am thinking listening music on my iPod which I recently got from my sister. She is great and very caring for me. So let’s talk about someone like us and while reading you may find yourself in that position and may be you should use a different approach. I am not going to write anything serious but whatever comes to my heart. It’s all about happiness at the end of the day right? Raj told to his friends at a gathering comprising of few friends. Raj knows by his straight forward attitude and down to earth person. He is the one that likes to keep up the good relationship with his friends and others. If he don’t like someone he will tell that person straight or avoid. He doesn’t like people with a two way attitude and likes to keep things simple. Working as a software professional in an IT firm and earning a decent salary to keep his family running. He has a small family with a younger brother and sister and parents. Father is retired and now spends time at home so he is bearing the responsibility of all. The discussion in that group went various topics including cinema, politics, terrorism, industrialization and later it came to religion and what one should think on that. When someone asked Raj to share his comments, Raj paused a bit and then said ‘No’. Everyone was surprised to know that as they were expecting a straight and hammered answer from him so that they can argue on what he said. But when everyone persuaded him to speak something he asked a question, ‘What you mean by religion in a single line?’ one said a way to connect with God. Some answered to feel the existence of God and his powers, some kept quite and thinking. Raj said this is the reason why I kept quite for this topic. It’s not about religion and what you think. Since all religion to my belief teaches good, but still we find the people in the same religion are not the same why? Is not that the same religion teaches things differently to different people so that one becomes rich and other becomes poor, some goes abroad to study and earn in dollars while some stays the entire life in a city battling for each rupee? It’s also not about what religion you follow. The most important thing for me is the respect for each religion including mine and the service to humanity. The day you get up what you think? Office? Tea served by your mom or wife? How to reach office? Traffic? Pollution? So many things come to your mind. But have you ever did thank to God for a day given to you when you gets up? have you ever tried to realize that the life you are living is far better than millions. You have a nice home, God has given you such a wonderful parents, you have a caring family, so is God not to be thanked for that atleast once in a day? Remember our parents say in our childhood that once you get up you do prayers in masjid, or go to temple or atleast join your hands and thank God for everything. Why we have changed? Our religion taught all this so why we are leaving the good things behind? Also religion is not the same for people. For rich and powerful religion is defined in a different way and for common people like us we are bound by old rituals. I am not saying that they are wrong but if that kills the emotions of individual then its not worth to take the burden on our shoulders. Religion is there to help the fellow people not to suppress them with burden. Religion is for making the life easier not restricted. Religion is a way of spreading love and not hatered. Religion is good and not bad, Religion is God and God is only one. Actually we are so much running in our own pace that we don’t have time to do all this. We think that earning money will make ourselves and others happy and we do tend to fall in the hands of our boss and behaves like a slave. Mind you guys if you are ready to become slave then its not the fault of your boss not to treat you like that. It’s a selfish world and if you are giving an opportunity to others to rule over you they will be happy to take that call. Why are we so scared with others? Why we don’t have faith on ourselves? Since for few good money we give up our personal life and then curse God that you made my life hell. Its not God its we and only we that are to be blamed for. We have 24 hours in a day half of the time we spent in office and work and then when its time to relax, we tend to think of the next day and how can we cheat people. All this goes in our mind all day and that not only spoils the day but the coming day which might have been great if you think in a positive manner. I know I am diverting from the topic but we all have to realize one thing as to what we want in life? I do know that we have several responsibilities in life and we have to bear them. This may end our social and personal life but if you find solutions to balance it then its not that difficult. I know I am not living my life to full extent but atleast I am happy and thank God for everything. I am sure that one day I will get all my goals and then its time for me to live happily. No one in this group can say that he or she is happy and if you think like that then my salute to them as they have rose from this normal world. Happiness is something that each and everyone is in hunt for. Its our positive mind set that will make us happy in all the situations. Here I need to connect the same with religion. We believe in our religion right and we believe in our God? Then if something happens to us something bad why we first curse the God? Why we cant thank him first and then request him to clear all this troubles soon? Also if any bad comes you will find your fellow people and friends tend to drift away from you? you might feel sometime that you are the only one left in this world and no one is there to help you? Why all such thoughts comes to our mind? Why cant we first pray to God and have a believe on him? Why can’t we have faith on ourselves and say to us that we can alone handle all this problems? Its just a matter of each one. Someone takes things with open hands someone tied their hands so of a problem rope comes near you your tied hands help it to circle around you and tie you. if you keep your hands open then any problem tie you can knot loose. Just believe in yourself. Believe in your religion and have faith in God. Trust each one and try to bring smile on as many faces as you can. After all at the end of the day its all about being Happy J
Well each one clapped for this wonderful thought and believe me I have written this note in one go whatever comes to my mind and hence you might not find a link but I hope there might have left some lessons for you all to bring in your life. All the best!!!
