Me, My Guru
I go for walk daily in a park
which is in the residential area that I reside.
After walking for ½ an hour, I sat down on the bench. I do that usually for 15-20 mts and then
leave. Today was no exception. With nothing much to do, I started looking at
people doing exercises, walking and sitting and chatting in the park. As I started observing, my mind started to
look at their faces and make comments on their state of mind. Looking at the way the person was walking, I figured
a limp in his walk. I figured they were tensed, worried etc. Many looked tired and with lots of health
issues – what with knee pains, obesity et like.
Looking at them, I told myself, I was far better than them. Yes, I was fitter when compared to them. I should be more happier from now onwards,
after all I was better than most of them.
I smiled at my blessing. I felt proud of my body and health. No doubt, I had few issues with my body but
looking at these people I felt much healthier! I think that’s why it’s advised
that we walk in such public places where we can watch others more worst than us
and feel grateful of our blessings.
I was thinking on these lines,
when two girls and a boy ran past my bench. Well, actually they were youngsters
in their teens. No. I hadn’t missed them
before. I noticed them as I entered
into the park. That means, they were
jogging – yes jogging and not just walking like me – for more than 45 mts
now. They didn’t seem tired too! In fact, they were even chatting happily. How come they had so much of stamina? I felt a pain in my heart. Smile vanished from my face and frown
replaced it now. I wasn’t happy.
