life

Today I met my friend X. But it was different today because of something I came to know about X. X is my friend, a very close friend. It so happened when I was talking to X and I said ‘aaj mera bada mann kar raha hai ki ma ki god main sir rakh kar so jaaun’. After a little pause I added ‘aur aaj mera mann hai ki koi mujhe khoob laad kare’. Then i wanted to leave and he wanted to know more about my mom and what all things go on between us. But I was not in mood so I left. What was going on in X’s mind I did not know and how can anyone of us know. We have all forgotten the precious gifts we have been bestowed with. We now don’t even care for these precious gifts given to us by Almighty. How sad! I came to know something that shook me totally. He had lost his mom when he was very young. And how cruel of me to have said these two lines! How harsh it would have been to him when I said these lines! How would he have felt when I declined his request!

I am a bad person. Yes I am. What would have been better, me talking about ma or what I did is right? Well, i still believe that what ever happens, happens for good.

This is what i call wisdom!

The Divine gives us what we need, not what we wish. God does not give us up, even if we do not care for Him. He waits for the oportunity to manifest Himself to us. This God's grace. ---Sw. Yateeshwarananda's book: Spritiual titbits

I think this line contains enough depth for a post. I will not even try to elaborate on this or try to give my commentry, because i am not at a level to be able to do that. It is left to you how you interpret it and use it.
