Living Each Day & Not Regretting
The only thing I hear the most people miss about their childhood is the guilt free innocent and adolescent nature they had. Why is it that as we grow old, we keep loosing the innocence? What happens between the two eras?Many of us loose faith in good, many of us are hurt in the process.I have been too. I also lost the faith in good but I revived my faiths and beliefs. Life has different phases which come and go. We try to learn lessons from them, the thought changing phenomenon is not easy. We often find ourselves stuck in the moral issues. Why is it the conditions are so strong that we get so weak to retain the real us through them . Why do we question our own basics and principles when all our lives, we have been living believing in them. What is the right way to be? How to re-purify the soul.....how to loose the grudge?
Most of us believe in indestructible soul which is eternal....As quoted in the Bhagvad Geeta, the sacred book of Karma,
"avinasi tu tad viddhi
yena sarvam idam tatam
vinasam avyayasyasya
vinasam avyayasyasya
na kascit kartum arhati"
Which means"Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul. When the soul is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material (air,water,earth,fire,sky), its spiritual influence is exhibited."
Now the question is if the soul is eternal,if the soul is indestructible, how can our soul or original purity can be lost? No, Its never lost. I find the same kid inside me hidden somewhere. I still love the rain, I still go happy when I see the cute puppies and I feel like playing with them. What has changed is our ideas and beliefs which evolve with time. These ideas and beliefs can always be reverted back, if you are strong enough, no one can take away your goodness, be it any condition. Its good to learn from the mistakes. But if you were wronged just forgive and move ahead. The purity of mind and heart not only plays a vital role in our health but also in beauty.A good soul has a beautiful aura.....which will make it shine in all odds. So, all I want to say is, Be good, Be forgiving...Be yourself! Don't hate someone to the extent that you may forget the true yourself. There is so much beauty in the world, the only effort we need to make is open our eyes to see it!So , Wake UP Girl!
