Everyone accepts the fact that death is
mysterious. No one has ever asserted any specific knowledge and
explanation about death. However factually, death is same as what life
is. The only difference is that death is mysterious at one moment while
life is a mystery at every moment. Both are beyond explanation, and
whatever we explain is only drawn by assumptions made from few moments,
neither can be elucidated. We are compelled to pass through both, with
no choices offered. The only choice in our hand is, 'choice to balance.'
One can decide, how to pass through every phase, whether with sorrow or
with joy. There are many examples of saints who embraced death as
beloved. Great philosopher 'Socrates' is a laudable example.
Life is dual; prediction of its true nature is not possible. Many times, it seems full of auspicious and pleasures while all of sudden one may find it with full of misery, sufferings and problems. Our saintly masters sanctioned many philosophies focused only on such problems and sorrow. Still every creature on earth struggles for life. Everyone eventually develop a way to survive and comfort. In the journey of life, every living organism faces many situations, though compliance to good situation does not need any preparation and special guidance but while facing problems of life, one need to have proper guidance and a strong will to overcome such atrocious moments.
Our way of thinking and attribution to situation, make base of consequences of such situation. Problems may seem invincible; sometimes we may find our life slipping from hand. It may also feel like we are losing our breath; yet a creative and constructive dealing can result in dawn of happiness. Spirituality has always focused in developing a positive attitude towards life and gratitude towards every happening. Respecting and accepting every happening may bring unexpected turns in just future.
"One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided that the animal was old and useless. Therefore, he should cover up the well anyhow, it just was not worth to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly, then, to everyone's surprise, he stopped howling loudly.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that was hitting the back of donkey, something amazing was happening. He would shake off all the dirt and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!"
People and situation are the medium; life uses to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. You are in a well, facing fatal situations. Only you can find the way to tackle with it. Learn to ignore those things, which affect your development negatively. Free your heart from hatred and fill it with love and forgiveness. Make free your mind from worries, expectations and live a simple life. Best way to get out of the well is to shake off the dirt and step up.
