"When a man dwells on the objects of sense he creates an attraction for them, attraction develops into desire and desire breeds anger" -- A quote from Bhagwad Gita

My Loved One,

Lets Make a Better Self,

Follow Your Dreams...

There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming
home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not
working and that they have to climb the stairs home.

After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to
abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left
their bags then and climbed on. When they have reached to the 40th
level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began
to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling
all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and
decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They
silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood
calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And
they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the
20th floor.

This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the
expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We
seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under
so much pressure and stress  that by the age of 20, we get tired and
decide to dump this load.

Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and
dream ambitious wishes.
But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and
dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and
criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied.
Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining
anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize
that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream
…… a dream
we abandoned 60 years ago.

Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets
