When
a child is full of vigor, he does not think of his mother. It is only when he
is tired that he wants to nestle in her lap.
(Dr. S Radhakrishnan)
When
we are healthy, strong, happy and enjoying life, we hardly think of God.
When
we face sorrow, when we get hurt or something goes wrong then we remember God,
Guru, Almighty or whoever we believe in.
How
strange is this fact that:
“Dukh
daaru, Sukh rog bhayaa”
That
pain and sorrow become the instruments in bringing us closer to God while
happiness moves us away from Him.
Shouldn’t
it be other way around?
Shouldn’t
we be thankful and remember the Almighty more in the moments of joy and
happiness?
Saints
and sages tell us to be with the Almighty in every moment; however favorable or
unfavorable it might be.
“Sukhaavasaane
idmaiv Saaram
Dukhaavasaane idmaiv gneyam
Dehaavasaane idmaiv Jaapyam
Govind Daamodar Maadhvaiti”
In
the moments of joy and happiness
In
the times of pain sorrow
As
long as we live in the body
Remember
Almighty (with every breath till the
last breath)
