Rahul Dravid's take on Patience

My wife and I have built a new home with a lovely garden which houses  lovely bamboo trees. I got reading on the Chinese bamboo and learned  that the tree takes 5 years, 3 months to grow to its whole height of 80  feet. Yet, for the first 5 years, you only see a tiny green shoot, but  in the next 90 days, it grows into a full-fledged tree. But in those  first 60 months, it is growing its strong network of roots underground,  to support the tree.  In an era of instant gratification, we settle for  shorter trees, but remember patience has its reward. These are your  years of growing that strong network of roots but be sure when you  finally achieve your success, people will call it “overnight success”.  If only they knew of the Chinese bamboo!

Let's pretend this never happened

This book came as a new refreshing take on book reading. It has some satirical, witty and at times philosophical take on strange childhood of Jenny Lawson. After finishing the book now I can look back at the cover of the book and now I can have a hearty laugh. Some of the most inspiring portions of the book I liked are -

"I can finally see that all the terrible parts of my life, the embarrassing parts, the incidents I wanted to pretend never happened, and the things that make me “weird” and “different,” were actually the most important parts of my life. They were the parts that made me ME.”

“Because you are defined not by life’s imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. And because there is joy in embracing – rather than running from – the utter absurdity of life.”

“I see us becoming comfortable with our own brand of dysfunctional functionality, our unique way of measuring success.”

“I wish her to have love and enough heartbreak to appreciate it.”

Heaven

Closer to Heaven

Some say that "True heaven is place on earth", it's very much true thing. When you have peace within your inner self, world seems like a heaven. For me the peace lies in simplicity. If we make our life simple then true peace is not far away. Above image depicts the lonely man sitting at the coast. He is looking at the sea and trying to ascertain the purpose of his life through his past actions. He is trapped between past and the future. Past scares the hell out of him and future seems very dull but he know deep down inside that he has been on the earth for some special and this thought make him feel alive. This thought has been alluring him for years and making his life miserable. 

The color of the clouds in the image defines the circumstances that life has brought him. But deep down inside him he knows that he is not far from achieving his calmness. This thought is what I call a way to attainment of peace. The man in the image is well aware that no matter how gloomy situation looks, if he has the peace he will be through. As he has been through many ups and downs of his life, he is relaxing at the thought of attaining inner peace. 

The sea ahead of him shows him the endless possibilities that future holds. Possibility of dreams is the thing that will fuel him for the years to come. And the sea tells him dream and dream because there are infinite potential in him. Whenever he would be down,the sea would remind  him of chances. If there would not be any hope then human life would be like river without water. To me the peace is simply knowing your inner self. The image aptly defines that, as the person is eager to know the his meaning of his life. In today's times, the basic problem with people is that they don't know what  they actually wanted to do. Only if they do know what they are built to do, peace will surely knock their door. Because what ceases the peace is the direction. Lets take it another way, if I were to say 2,4,6,8  and ask you to tell me next number then you will be comfortable, why, because you know what to expect, you are in peace. This example might sound odd but it precise to the fact that peace lies in realization. So to attain the highest level of peace one should go to serene place like the one in the image. And ask themselves the basic question of their life. And the moment they will do that they will come to know what was missing form their lives and how they fooled themselves into believing that materialistic things will give them peace of mind. And the amazement of  this discover is sure because in this chaotic world more than anything else we need peace in order to save our soul. So next time when you are alone try doing something like that and don't be surprised when you come across life altering answers.
