Dear Friends and Students
Couple of years back, the world's most
expensive shoes were launched in the UAE. The passion diamond shoes have a
price tag of USD 17 million or 123 crores Indian rupees. They invited select 50
VIPs for the launch. Fascinating right? If you are given those shoes, I am sure
all of us feel excited? Don’t you?
Now let us take a hypothetical situation. You
owned those shoes. One of them (right foot shoe) got misplaced just before you
were supposed to attend a high profile party. Will you replace & wear your
right foot with a new brand and make? Will you go to the party with a different
pair of shoes?
If I conduct an opinion “POLL”, I am sure
“PLL” wipes out the “POLL”! Do you agree? We all are ready to disown the most
expensive pair of shoes when a single shoe is lost! However, we become
hypocritical, duplicitous, and two faced when it comes to following the Heart
and performing an Action.
Our Heart and Our Action are like a pair of
shoes. We all fail 99.9999% times, wearing this perfect shoe? Do you agree?
Nobody is an exception to this rule unless one is spiritual.
“My Friendship, My dream job, my life goals,
my incredible family, destination wedding, my dream girl/boy, my soulmate, my
dream place”, and uncountable mismatches! Everywhere both shoes never match! We
pretend. We create an artificial cover and make both shoes look like.
Covid-19 shattered the world. Both Rich and
poor countries succumbed to this. No matter how rich you are, when you leave
the body, nobody could come nearby. This reminds me of the story of a king and
4 wives.
Once upon a time, there lived a king who had
four wives. The king got seriously ill and was on his deathbed. Afraid to
venture into the afterlife alone, he asked his fourth wife whom he loved the
most and bought her diamond, gold and elegant clothing — “Would you die with me?
And go with me to the afterlife?” The fourth wife replied with a sorry saying
she can’t do that and walked away.
He also loved his third wife and was very proud and would show her off to neighbouring kingdoms. He called on his third wife and asked the same question — “Would
you accompany me to the afterlife”? The third wife replied that she loved
her life too much and she cannot go with him and also that she would remarry on
his death.
The second wife has always been there for him
in the times of his need. So he asked her if she would accompany him in the
afterlife. The second wife apologetically replied that she would not be able to
help him this time but would arrange his funeral and would be there for his
funeral.
A voice called out and said that — “I will leave with you and follow you wherever you go, even if it is to
the afterlife”. The king looked and it was his first wife. And
this was the wife he took care of the least. He felt embarrassed and said that
I should have taken better care of you and given you more attention when I was
alive. (theflyingmantis.medium.com/king-and-his-4-wives-33099c834bce)
Our fourth wife is our body, our third wife
is our possessions (Car, house, gold), the second wife is our friends and
family, and our first wife represents our soul.
Covid-19 is reappearing as Covid-22
(Omicorn)! Three years passed! Life has not changed so much as our perspectives
and material wishes. Nobody is an exception!
Wish Year 2022 removes “0” (Sunyam in our
lives) and welcomes only 222 in our lives! The number 222 is also seen as a
representation of the power of love, faith, and patience. Some people believe
that the number 222 is a sign from the angels. This number is usually seen as a
lucky number.
Wish you Happy New Year 2022!! Let’s discard
“0”!
Your Well-wisher
