The winter desert has bidden adieu,
welcoming the summer rain. In this summer time, a field covered in green grass,
the flowering peach trees, adorning the winter wither scenery into the blooming
one. Together with returning of the summer it brings a smile on the face of far-flung
farmers who are completely depends on agriculture. But, today by this summer
afternoon, has made my mood gloomy like the cloudy weather in the out. Not only
me, may be someone from somewhere at the corner may be feeling gloomy. I do not
know who but someone unknown or unseen as all the beings in this world have a seed
of Buddha’s mind. I thought a reason for feeling sad deeply inside me may be
because of the outer weather.
In time, one of my friends came to me.
Looking at her eyes I knew she was feeling drowsy too. She asked me to go with
her at Canteen for a tea. I agreed immediately as I too was badly in need of a cup
of tea that could draw my attention from the sadness. More than half an hour we
spared our time for tea and there we had an informative talk. Our talk was
nothing especial than of a movement of life.
After having a cup of tea we were again
diverted to our work. In repose, I leaned back in my armchair, giving a though
of what my friend has just shared with me a moment ago. “Are you happy”, she asked.
To this question, I simply answered “my mind fluctuates with the situations”,
which means my answer clearly proves that I fail to be the custodian of my own
mind although I should be. There are all kinds of thoughts running through my
mind like seasonal varies, and wondering why I’m failure in subduing those
unwanted thoughts and why I’m unable to think meaningful thoughts. Time and
again I reiterate the same questions and I could not squish as I fall to commit
the same mistakes.
I looked out through the window which
gives me a way to have a glimpse at outside. Seeing rushing vehicles and people
who were strolling along the road, it flashback me of the time when I was, with
perspiration, stroll around the capital, in search of a job. Amongst those
walking people, there must be as many as students who are seeking for a job, weighing
down by tension, thinking they may not get even shortlisted, despite, being
recruited. How terrible state of mind that must be, having no host who would
offer a cup of tea in depressing situation. This thought of mine has abate my
current sadness. Whether, we are in sadness or happiness, I think it is the
best remedies to recollect of other's suffer that you have witnessed and do away
with your present dingy thoughts.
The above mention words may not find base on rational. I just wrote this especially to keep myself engage in writing something that would abate the emotion boils inside me. None of the souls have put me into the realm where I would be sad and droop. Life I have learned through experience and the people, whom I have encountered with, have taught me in many ways, yet there is a lot more to be learned of life.
