Sadhan on sunsets

 

Sadhan on sunsets

For the last one week, we took upon ourselves to watch Sunset together daily for one whole week.

I did – religiously (as ever!?) every single day!

Some did this exercise.

Few didn’t - with excuses.

Others found the whole exercise not beneficial (!?) and so didn’t do!

What happened?

The whole of this – mostly in Hyderabad (of India) it was either cloudy or raining. So, it was not possible to do this exercise literally!

Some didn’t even go out at the appointed time thinking ‘oh, it’s cloudy so its waste of going’.

Some cursed their fate for not being able to do it because of rain. Some of them even thought it was ‘bad sign’?!

Contd....

Pointers to this post :

"Some didn’t even go out at the appointed time thinking ‘oh, it’s cloudy so its waste of going’." - We usually do this with most of the things in our life. "Oh, I will any how not get a prize, what is the use of participating?"

"Oh, we anyhow can't afford foreign trips, why talk about it or see such videos?"

"Oh, we can't afford such houses, why look at them?"

"Oh, i won't become famous as a singer or earn money out of it, why learn to sing?"

and many more ....we miss out on learning something or just watching something etc because we are always 'target oriented people'. And if our action doesn't get converted into a 'target' like we desire, we as well don't do it. That is so sad! Play for the sake of playing - not just for prize. After all, we are not professional players, so what difference does it make if we lose in office matches or in our colony? Enjoy the game! One who enjoys wins even when he loses!

Learn to sing, dance, paint or anything - not because it is 'money minting' for you - but because it can calm you. It can give you joy that no money earned can give you....trust me, don't miss out on that joy. It is so easy to reach and get. Try! Sing as if no one is listening and dance as if no one is watching!

Similarly, do pooja, exercise, cooking, cleaning joyfully not expecting any results - but since you are to do it - you as well do it with joy.
