The Reluctant World

Are you 'The One'?

                  For all those who get ready for the new year 2020, its gonna be the beginning of a new chapter of your life. The past is no more your friend nor enemy, rather it has been filed as history for your memories. If you have already started chewing this content then your mind is the key to open answers to many unlocked questions I am going to discuss.

               The evergreen mystery of life is hidden between living it and lingering it. When the topic is about living life, you must make it more active. 

                        Let me put this is in a simple story. A son asked his father about living life to its fullest. The father replied simply, 

"When you realize what your cup can fill

 You will realize its depth". 

                      Yes, this is what I felt could be more meaningful and easy for anyone to understand. 

                                       What more can mean living a life? 

            There is something more I want to make it clear apart from these. Living life can also mean living for others. There is no purpose for a life to live for itself. 

                                                                    Why it is so?

               When we enter this earthly realm there is no monotonous platform for human species that too in this fast transforming world. But humans find it very difficult in understanding this underlying fact. That's because we are gifted with the ability to think, that one thing that made us what we are now.

            When we are bound to live as a community or society, we do oblige ourselves to think for others but in a restricted manner. The ability of thinking initially gave us the way for a better living which later also paved the way for overthinking. When you overthink, you go beyond your cup and think for the society or community around you. So as everyone overthinks it becomes a requirement for that same society to share things among them. This is where human intelligence works. It automatically limits the thinking to the boundary of blood beneficiaries. Only a few think for a global basis and sharing. 

                                                            What about the others?

               Then how do you think it could be said as living life. Are you the one who lives for others? judge yourself and unlock the answer from within you.

                 When you say lingering life, you just stay in this human life for long without the potential to find its real meaning of living it. This could be made simple by this sneak of my note. 

                  A tortoise complained of its living for many years and thought it would be happy if it had only lived for a few years. Then all of a sudden a bunch of leaves from a nearby tree came flying by and fell on the tortoise. The tree for a second shed tears for its leaves and addressed the tortoise with a smile saying,

   "It never meant how long we sustain for a living, 

      but it is more important to have a purpose in living". 

                  The tortoise became stunned suddenly for a moment and started thinking of not having a purpose in its life so far. Then with a smile, the tortoise moved in search of its purpose for a living. This is how one could overcome one's lingering life. 

                  The reality is different from its shadow. So we can never paint a picture of life. All you have to do is stop lingering in life and turn active with a goal or purpose. Then you will start living it.

  

                  The one point all could miss is that life turns nourishing when it is realized up to its brim. To fill the cup, you need to empty the past that is stagnant in you. The nourishing rises when it's filled with new energy, ideas, goals, and thoughts. For that, you need to realize the emptiness in life always. Humans who can empty their fillings can surely re-fill it without any difficulties. And you experience its fresh aroma when your life is being filled. 

   Can you taste the tip of my questions above? 

    Are you the one who is worried about your own life? 

   Are you the one who needs a re-filling? 

  Are you the one who can bend thoughts? 

   Are you the one meant to live your life? 

      Are you 'The One' who is meant to live life purposely? 

   Then this new year is meant for you. 

   I wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2020. 

                          

All the best...
