Reflections

It was raining since yesterday. I always took advantage of rain to laze away my hours in watching rain drops pitter-patter on poodles, buildings, trees-just about everything. Today was no exception. I stood in the balcony looking at an apartment near ours. My eyes feel on the fifth floor balcony of that apartment on the window sill and the sun shade, I saw pigeons sitting close by. The sight was picture-perfect of purity, hard-work and beauty. I was lost looking them.

They were shifting their places with each other may be to avoid rain. They moved from the window sill to sun shade and back to window sill. They were working continuously and yet were cold and wet. I found it amusing could I call them stupid or innocent?? I wondered. But, none actually went into the balcony or go under the space under water tank.

This set me thinking. Hard work in every place doesn't guarantee comfort or respite from our problems. Is my hard work at the right place should be the Question I am asking myself to see why hard work doesn’t pay off as expected of it.....

I say I want to be free of pain and suffering, yet from one negative thought to another negative thought I go why?

And then I complain, though I try hard. I am not free from pain and suffering.

If success is all you want, If peace is all you want to experience, if happiness is the state you want to be then......

to leave negative thought, Feeling you don't need reasons...
