A flash back glimpse of my convent school home work diary, remind me of the first page with bold sayings, "Man is master of his will and captain of his soul" and below it, "God give me courage to change the person. And wisdom to understand, whom I can and whom I can not". Today decades later, like 'A' of my English lessons it replenish 'Z' of my hunger for hearty bliss.
We, being 'Parent Captain' are for sure responsible for our kids, we must put efforts and wisely cater their upbringing spiritually in the shade of materialistic world. An eye for an eye and world shall be blind is aptly suited with mad rush genre today, nobody has time to spare emotions or forgiveness to life happening around us. If a rickshaw walla paddles his vehicle between the line, an ostrich neck would stretch out from a car with best possible abusive music for poor chap who will hardly understand what went wrong. A shaken lady walking on road will fetch many guys jump to hold her from falling down but an aged man or woman fallen or fainted may be ignored for paucity of time. The warmness among us seems to have evaporated, anger, frustration has taken its place and forgiveness is distant thought.
Baba Farid a great Sufi saint of his time, has privilege of having his verses reproduced in Sikh preachings chants, that "farida do good for someone who tries doing bad for you", wonder why no one remembers what Nathuram Godse expressed before he killed Gandhi. The legendary three monkeys depicting don't talk , don't listen and don't see - that hurts, makes no sense today, but, the chemistry of Gandhi's thought apparently a fizzled cracker do makes its loud presence in today's world of rat race. We tend to forget that we need to be lion in this race, for even if we loose the run, we still will be lion at the end of the day.
We should make this world a better place to live, our children should learn that its not the race for perfection rather achievement for best blended soul that matters in life. While pruning our kids we must make sure either to convince them or get convinced because there is no logic beyond this that shall work, and, should also remember that being a mentor we are a part of generation leap for which our kids are just exposed to and without tasting it's pitfall they shall not agree with us blind folded. Most important for them is to understand, warmness, spiritualism, forgiveness by remaining attached to our roots.
A tree blossoms and bear fruits naturally bends down, nature inspire bowing, forgiveness is nectar that will spread sweetness. Love has achieved for centuries, it shall continue to achieve for centuries to come, nothing has replaced it nothing can, this is eternal truth, this is eternal bliss.
