Some unconnected thoughts about time and life...

Hi,

I'm sure most of us have heard the quote 'Time and tide waits for none' . Living is nothing but moving with time. (Un)fortunately, time can neither be reversed nor slowed down (unless you are traveling at speed of light, of course :) ) and hence, our lives too. Moments (good/bad) spent exist no where else other than in our memories.
No doubt past is important. But its only an aid to look at the future, not the the blue print of future. As I see, past cannot(and should not) shadow our future. Future is always untouched, pristine and bright. This is because future is divine. No one knew it nor felt it.

I remember reading once that if we see everyday as a new start to our life, we would feel much better. That way at least, we can leave our past to historians and move ahead. Everyone has his/her own set of ups and downs in the life. Life isn't an express way and if it was so, it would not have been any fun living.Being bold is not about how often we felt low but how well we managed ourselves in such situations. Being bold is all about having belief. Believe in your self, believe in the people close to you and beyond all, believe in god. Its faith that kindles the fire from ashes, good from bad, sweet from sour and bliss from dejection.

Its this faith that keeps us moving. Its faith that keep us alive.

Talking at a much higher and abstract level, we think too much about our lives, our acts and our deeds. If only we knew what little we could do to our lives and to others' , we would stop worrying about it(life).
I remember a verse from Bhagavadgeeta which says 'Your dharma is only to do your carma, not think about the consequences of it. You are neither responsible for results of doing your carma nor should you abstain from doing them' . This very thought would take off our burdens and lightens our mind and soul. So, lets stop worrying much about our future. Its all safe when you do your duties well.

Well, I do understand that its all easy said than done. But, its not that tough either if we remember one thing i.e. 'life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you get' ( taken from forest gump) . So, hope for the best, work hard, be happy and pray to god. This is the paragon of life.

Hope it makes some sense.

Luv
Krishna
