(233) Life is in this moment

Life is here..life is in this moment. Over and again we hear this, seldom understand. Time itself teaches this to us through various ways and yet we seldom understand. If we did realize, we would be more into living and less into making a living. Tirelessly we labor to make a living which of-course is essential, but on the way to perform this essential errand, we somewhere lose the very purpose of doing so and that is to make us live better.

We wait for one special thing to happen. We hope, we pray, we slog, we take vows and we keep waiting. The waiting seems endless and the happening of that special thing far, but soon that happens, stays for short time and the moment passes away. We aim for yet another special thing to happen and so the waiting thing again..and so on and so forth. But when does that special thing happen. It doesn’t come in one or two particular events and occurrences, it is there wrapped in every moment irrespective to whom it belongs and that is send by god, alike the blood present in every vein of our body irrespective of its location and function. We need to recognize this very simple thing that there is nothing like the special or unique moment waiting for us..it is we who make it thus with our actions. It is our people who make it thus with their presence. It is the faith within that keeps it alive. It is the trust in almighty that it does survive. It is the acceptance, approval, forgiveness and sharing of love, kindness and aid that make it the special moment.

Let us try and live in the present moment. The one from the past can never be resumed, the one belonging to future can never be called before its due…and hence whatever we have hold onto is this very moment, wherein we can choose to do what we want. Either love it, embrace it, respect it, live in it wholeheartedly, happily, filled with gratitude for experiencing it and spreading cheer to others…OR…waste it, ruin it, disgrace it by lamenting about/affixing to the past..& or worrying about the future…Choice is yours…choice is ours.
