Life is a mystery

What is life? It is very difficult to explain. But apparently it seems to be a flow of time with many pleasant and unpleasant events thrown in to it in individual’s life.

We can not label life’s event as good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, but it carries a meaning as we interpret it. I remember one story. One pious lady was walking down to some village, but before she could reach her destination it became dark. Poor lady asked for shelter in many houses, but was unfortunate to get any kind response. So finally in that cold night she settled under a cherry tree. At midnight she got up shivering with cold wind to find, the cherry blossoms were looking heavenly with the flooded moonlight. Nature’s silent beauty took her mind to some heavenly joy and tranquility, which perhaps she could not have got sleeping under a comfortable quilt. In the morning she ran to those householders to give them her heartfelt thanks, who refused to give shelter at night. Apparently the incident will be interpreted as – people were unkind and selfish so the poor lady had to suffer in cold the whole night. But the lady interpreted the event in a different way. She thanked God, and thought, that people really helped her to have divine experience.

Events of life are neither good nor bad; it all depends on how we interpret it.

Now we see so much injustice is being done everyday in society, and it is just not possible to say, that the silver lining is shining behind the dark clouds. How to explain this? 

Yes, the appropriate action should be taken for every wrong deed in the society. But we never know, when things go so wrong may be morning is not far away. May be every soul is being evolved through the process of many ups and downs.

No soul is born criminal, but the wrong environment, wrong tendency, uncontrolled behavior, lack of opportunities tend many to do wrong deeds.

Life is a mystery. May be today’s dark chapter will open up a golden age for our country. Life is not a by product. Creator’s sacred blessings and touch is there in his creation. We should not loose our faith.
