My travelling experience…
Once I was on my trip to Kachchh, Gujarat. It was two day travel
duration from my place to Bhuj. I was wondering about what would be my pastime during
these days. The obvious ones were reading some magazine or a book. But what I
discovered made me to think a while about it. Actually the finding was an abject
situation. A poor little child was asking me for a few bucks. I found myself in
a miserable condition wherein my mind was thinking for a while for it. Later on
my mother suggested me to give him some food. Well, being Gujjus, we always
carry lots of delicious stuff with us. I gave him the same and he left with a
smile on his face.
Well,on the whole route I was wondering about the reason
which made me wait for a moment while he was asking for the money. I learned that
it was my conscience which had put me in that situation. Well I pondered why I
should think twice before giving few bucks to the poor when I usually don’t while
spending few extra ones to get the tickets of any movie on a Sunday or spending
some extra ones while swiping the cards in malls. Well the answer from my heart
was I shouldn't have thought before giving it to him.
At the same moment my mind interrupted me and made me
aware of the other condition that was prevailing. It said the person might use
the given money in any depraved manner. The way I use money is always known to
me but when I give it to anyone who knows how he will use it. I will never want
my money to go in wrong hands and used in an evil fashion. Well, these days even
the small children do smoke and drink. This was the only reason which made me
think a while.
But as always my mother took me out of this condition. From
this I concluded that whenever there is the question whether to listen of ‘the
loving heart’ or of ‘the thinking brain’ we should find the golden mean of
both. This will help us to overcome each challenging situation in life. Well
the other thing that I discovered too was whenever you are in distress; usage
of food brings you out from it.:)
Well, these conclusions along with positive attitude towards
life still help me to deal with every troublesome condition I face in my life.
