Time does not remain the same. It keeps on changing on its own. We feel happiness when the change is according to our desire and become sad when the time is not favourable. In this way we spent our whole life in the swing of happiness and sorrow. The changing position of time reminds us that time is flowing like a sream. As we all know that sorrow and happiness are the two different aspects of the same coin but whenever there is a problem we think how we would get rid of this problem. The whole life seems a problem. We feel that I am the most sorroful person in the world. My problem is the biggest one from all others. I have taken birth only to face the problems in life. At that moment we forget the happiest moments of our life which might have spent through the life. One feels jealous from the person who is leading a happy and peaceful life. Though he knows that with the change of time his problem will also be overcome. But when he looks someone in problem, he just feels relax.
A poor barefooted man was sitting by the roadside and was crying that he had no money to buy shoes. Suddenly, he saw a crippled man who was hanging on his creches and was going on his way. After looking at him the barefooted man thanked God for giving him feet to walk properly. A shoe hardly matters. Time will change and he will manage to buy shoes for himself. One should always thank God for whatever He had bestowed on him because we all are His children and He is our Father and a Father cannot see His children in pain. He loves all of His children.
Once a man was very sad and was complaing to God, "Earlier, when I used to walk I could see footprints behind my footsteps. I took it that You are with me. But now in my hard time the footprints are missing. Should I think that You are not with me?" He stopped for a while and listened his inner voice,"Son! don't worry, today when you are facing bad time, I am holding you in my hands and the footprints are mine not yours." God is always with us and protecting us. Have trust in God.
Swami Vivekanand once said,"We are like silkworms; we make the thread out of our own substance and spin the cocoon and in course of time are imprisoned inside. But this is not forever. In that cocoon we should develop self-realisation and like butterfly comeout free. Help does not come from outside. It comes from within ourselves".
It is necessary not to struggle in life and not to allow negativity to control our life. We should learn to float in life. 'Let in' the essential and 'let go' the unessential feelings. Be spiritual. Only then we will have trust in God. Spirituality and devotion allows the finer vibration to flow in to our life and help opening the third eye or intuitive power. We will experience meaningful things in our life. We will feel protective hands of God blessing us:
Hamain Raston Ki Zarurat Nahi Hai,
Hamain Tere Paron Ke Nishan Mil Gaye Hai.
