Looking at life Differently

I am continuing my blog after a long gap...It's ten past twelve and dead silence prevails in my room except the sound of the fan..This blog is about looking life differently. For many Life is Happy when only they have no problems.They look problems as obstacles which hinder their growth.If you are in this trap , you can't experience the beauty of nature and the thrills of life..People should know to live life wisely."The greatest game to be played in Life is, playing the game of life wisely".

Many are hurt by incidents.Their whole life goes in sorrow,jealousy and don't experience happiness.When you operate from these things you miss many rich things that should be enjoyed and cherished.Think yourself as an empty pot.All your hurt,sorrow are like holes in the pot.Though happiness and Divine energy flows through you, it will leak through those holes. So you have to be with no sorrows and worries to cherish each and every moment in Life.

Actually if looked closely, the problems and situations in life doesn't create sorrow and hurt.It is your interpretation in your mind that is hurting you.Just reflect on this story. A monk was giving lecture to a group of people.The lecture was for a long time.One of the men seated in the last row fell asleep.So the monk asked the man, who slept to come and sit in the first row.There were really lot of people in the crowd and the man who fell asleep was so popular and a rich man. The man said to the monk that, you had hurt me.The monk replied with innocence, "How did I hurt you...?". The man said, you have ashamed me in front of a crowd.Actually it was not the words of the monk that hurt him.It was his interpretation in the mind. His interpretation in the mind was, I am such a popular and a rich person, How come this monk hurt me in front of such a crowd.After some time, this happened the monk asked another person to come and sit in the first row..That man said to the monk that, I am really happy as you had asked me to come and sit in the first row.The man was happy because in this mind the interpretation was as I was listening the lecture very attentively , seeing my interest the monk has called me in the front.The monk used the same words.But it was the interpretation of the minds of both people.Reflect on this story very closely.

Similarly, in our life incidents and situations doesn't hurt.It's your interpretation in your mind that hurts.While reading on apply this to your life.Only then it becomes a wisdom rather than knowledge.Please understand that in life nobody can hurt you.Only you hurt yourself by the interpretation in your mind.Problems will be there in Life.But don't look at problems as problems.Because the problem is not the problem.The problem is that, when problem comes, the interpretation in your mind is the problem.

Learn to look at problems differently.I 'll narrate another story to look at problems differently. All parents send their kids to their school at the age of 3.The child cries out when he goes to school.For that child it seems as an act of cruelity at that time. But the child will later realize the value he/she had gained by going to school. The child will realize using his/her experience that,parents had sent him/her to the school to make him better and better.Similarly God gives problems for you to make you better and better but not bitter and bitter. It's an act of extreme love by God.A child while looking at a surgeon doing surgery will say it as a cruel act.But later he/she will realize the use of it.Similar are problems in life.They are divine surgeries.It doesn't mean that while problems come you should be hurt and sorrow.It means that problems are there and it is your wish whether to suffer in that or not.

Once Buddha was scolded by a person in public.Buddha din't over react to that situation by again scolding him.He kept silent and replied to the man who was scolding that, though you are words are fiery, they don't hurt me.It's like throwing fire into a moving stream.As soon as the fire touches the river, it gets put off.Similar is my internal state of mind said Buddha.If you had deveoped this art, problems will not be solved but problems will be dissolved.For being in this state of mind, you should be void of hurt,worries and sorrow and the Divine should flow through you.As this seems blogs seems to go longer and longer, I end by here now.Still there are lots of things to say about problems and there are beautifull stories to reflect upon.It will come in my next blog.Live life wisely and enjoy the thrills of life.Every moment is a gift of god.God knows what is the best for you at that moment.
