Application of Il Dolce far Niente!






…contd….



Today, we admired her for her commitment, perseverance and regularity. We noted this point and decided to work on it henceforth and ‘thanked her’ in our hearts.


Next, it was Murali’s turn. He adjusted his laptop in such a way that we all could view what he wanted  us to see. Then he said “before I talk, I request you all to see this video and he played it, not one but two videos”.


(Please see these videos to understand the explanation below)





 



We were truly shocked when we saw those videos – there was no doubt about it. I mean could it be true? We were still dazed as Murali started his explanation “These videos sort of sum up my experience and observation with regards to IDFN experience. What did you observe and understand from these videos?” he asked.


“We are too busy to stop and notice people, events, happenings and everything around us. We are rushing about our lives mechanically. We are hardly aware of our surroundings”.



“Exactly! And also that we notice something ‘good’, important’, ‘special’ in its ‘set circumstance. Here the musicians! People go crazy to meet them. Spend thousands, wait God knows how many years to listen to them, see them in person in their concerts. And yet when they were available at stone’s throw, no one bothered to use that opportunity. We are missing out on such “miraculous happening” because of our ‘conditioned way of thinking’. We are conditioned even in accepting ‘miracles’ in our life. We want them to happen in a ‘set way and form’ and 'if happens just like that’, we don’t accept it”.
