All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
We are made of our thoughts; we are moulded by our thoughts.
The Bhagavad Gita
The beaming radiance brightens the eastern sky and aurora beams in her silver chariot. The whole earth brims with the magnificence of the soothing sun rays of October. The snow softly touches the buds and pats to bloom. The chirrups of the birds, the humming of the bees and the sway of the breeze remind me of the sweet old days, I hold dear to my heart.
Life is a great investment. Your life in this world itself is a great miraculous gift. Lord trusts us and bestows this lovely life to us. It’s our duty to treasure the precious life with care and concern. “When strangers start acting like neighbours, communities are reinvigorated” said Ralph Nader. While we are busy scheduling the priorities of our life, let us also keep in mind the people living amidst us and spare a few minutes to think about them and guide them righteously.
The world is a beautiful place where mutual understanding, cooperation, patience and tolerance mean a lot. Surprises and miracles amaze us in the midst of dejections and disappointments. Great people not only grow themselves but help others grow. They hold their hands and lead them through the rugged path of success. It is not an easy task to be a beacon of iconic ideals. Small acts when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world. Let us help them to recognise the person in them; Motivate them to voice the entire world, who they are, what do they need and how do they live.
Instil in the minds of your people the hope you preserve and persevere to move forward. Kindle the light which struggles to confront the storm. Be a soothing breeze to soothe their boils and blisters of hatred and humiliation.
Let us believe the words of Henry Ford, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success”. The thought of elevating the brethren should be the pivotal thought of our mind. The power to inspire and ignite lies in you. The sparks of your benevolence touch the souls of our brethren and gift miracles in their life.
