all of us do this...

Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL...

Recently i happened to drive a long distance on a six lane highway...

All of us do this...

While driving, many vehicles overtake and go in front of us...

We tend to feel that we are slow in life compared to others, others are overtaking us in life. We perceive that these people are our competitors. So, we also pull up our sleeves and move faaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!!...When we overtake them, we feel happy, nice and proud. We feel that Gethhu!!....After some time he/she also overtakes us and we pull up little more to overtake that vehicle again. The race goes on. The adrenal surge continues. Anxiety and thrill never stops. We don't stop or slow down even if the baby cries or wife wants us to stop. Suddenly we find 'that' vehicle turns left or right and moves in a different direction and goes away. We move on and life goes on normal till we find another vehicle overtaking us!!

This happens to all of us consciously or subconsciously. We always compare ourselves and our life with that of others and want to overtake others without knowing that they have a different direction, path, way and destiny in life.

Every book is different. Every road is different. Every life is different. Every human being is different. Every one's life is different. Every one's destiny is different. We are all unique, special and different!! Truly no one is a competitor for the other. As long as we travel together enjoying the life, nothing like it!!...All that we gather are temporary. Life experiences and memories are the ones finally left for cherishing and they are different for different people. It is not the same for two people. What matters finally is whether we enjoyed the journey or not, of course, without the anxiety, without that short lived pleasure, with full of happiness and peace, stable inner-body.

So, let us not compete with others. Speed up on roads and in life. You never know, we might meet with accidents in this imaginary race and die and lose this precious life on earth to enjoy!!...Or lose our body parts or become bed ridden and suffer entire life without immediate death. Or our body systems might age faster, develop illnesses, ailments and diseases, reduce their functional efficiency and we will become walking coffins or moving dead bodies or just potatoes. Also these are wasted moments and life time without enjoying the peaceful Nature around and fantastic and beautiful life of ours!!

So, Let us do a smooth ride of our life, enjoy the Nature around, the hills, greens, river, blue sky, birds, animals, people around, their living, as we travel in life, rather than competing with others. We have our own destiny, beautiful high way ahead to drive and enjoy the life as we move on!!...Those who want to travel with us will come along. Those who want to take diversion will turn right or left and move on in their roads of destiny.

Our road is an endless highway, it is special and unique to us and US ONLY...let us enjoy that keeping good health of our body, mind and relationships!!

So, let us not compete or overtake, let us enjoy the other things around and move on in our destiny!!

Peacefully yours...rams...

Qn.....Then how v progress & d country progress if v move without an aim! Challenge etc. I may b wrong


Ans: 

sir...this post revolves around 'COMPARING and PERCEIVING every one as COMPETITOR'...truly in overall life no one is competitor for anyone...we compete with every car on highway, every one-in class room, profession...in materialistic things like money, wealth, promotion etc...some times use strategies or immoral things too...we think we have won and wise...truly we only enjoy the short lived pleasures...not enjoying the journey...but only the outcomes...truly they are only PERCEPTIONS...but at the end we are not happy and peaceful...the KARMA works!!...Or we have not set our goals as per the desires of the Nature!!...i.e be a good human being, care for others, look after your health (physical-mental-social), keep your body and mind self regulating through yoga, meditation and correct definition and PERCEPTION of life and living...enjoy everything around without destroying and obstructing the freedom for others to enjoy...be with Nature as part of Nature...brain and mind have huge potential to learn and enjoy...so 'learn' (not read)  as much as possible...acquire multiple skills, multiple knowledge and be YOUR BEST...enjoy the process in everything...get lost in the process...!!...I think this should be the goal of every one. This is WISDOM, NATURE, HAPPINESS, PEACE, HEALTH, FULFILLMENT, CONTENTMENT, SELF ACTUALISATION, SELF TRANSCENDING....based...not MATERIALISTIC THINGS (PLEASURE) based...The fact is every one should have their own aim and goal, set by them,based on above method, suiting to their own personality traits, skills, knowledge, interests etc without comparing with others...and enjoy the journey to their destinations...not only the destination...during the journey. Destinations in our destiny has to be decided by us based on the above (life journey...like in car journey too the destinations are different...truly no one on the road is competitor to us...they don't think they are competitors to us...it is our own perception...we compete and realise later when they divert and go off that they were not competitors to us and they were just travelling in their life journey towards their destination!)...hope i have made it clear sir...this way every one grows to his or her full potential, contributes to every other person around, to society, to country, to the world, to the earth, to man kind without screwing up their health, life and living!!
