Clean what you have messed up

Yesterday, some construction work was going on in the house with which we share the common wall but it is at the back side of our house. When it was almost 5:30 in the evening, somebody rang the bell of our door from the backside. We were wondered as only few people come from there as it is our private area. We opened the door and to our surprise there was a (mason)craftsman- a very ordinary and simple man, who was working in the construction of that house. We asked him the reason of coming to our house. His reply made me think a lot and taught me a great lesson as well. He said; he came to clean our house which became dirty during the construction work because of him. He was there in our house to clean the mess and the dust that came to our house due to construction which he was doing.............
I was really shocked to get such type of answer from him. He said, your house is dirty because of me so it is my duty to clean it. What a thought!!!!!!!! If he would have not come, we would never go to call him to clean the mess or we would never blame him for the mess as well. The smallest deed by him taught me a great lesson.
If I am the one who has made things dirty, messy or untidy, it is my responsibility to clean it, clear it or make it tidy. I think this applies to relations also. Some of our deeds, words or actions make our relations messy and we start blaming others for that. I learned from this small incident that if at all I have done something like that, it is only my sheer responsibility to bring it to the shape. If we start taking responsibilities, I think we can enjoy the sweetness in relations.
What a great Learning I had from an extra ordinary gesture of an ordinary man!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was Full Moon Night- the Poornima. The moon came so early, just before the evening twilight. The colour was just near to orange & cream; slowly as it got dark, the moon changed it colour to cream & then white- normally the way it looks!

I was in our deity's temple just a day before Poornima. The beauty of the moon was then also the same. I was walking and it was pleasant.The atomsphere was cool and there was a gentle breeze. While walking, I looked up and saw the moon behind the leaves of a tree. The leaves were dancing on the song of the wind and the moon was dazzling behind them. Wow...it really looked superb!!!!! I was stunned & could not move forward. This glance at the moon made me thrilled. I forgot all my pains, troubles, tears and enjoyed the beauty of the nature which always amazes me and prompts me to think about the creator of these beautiful mother nature.

Everyday, millions of people like me walk on this earth. But how many of us do really stop somewhere and have a glance at the mother nature? We are very busy with our work and the hectic schedule of our life. Do really these so called hustles and bustles of our life stop us?

We have to ask ourselves..........

We are the master piece.........

Today in my hand there were some flowers like parijata, jasmine & some rose petals. All the beautiful flowers with excellent fragrance. I carefully observed them and was just amazed to see the beauty of them. It was not that I saw them for the first time but after holding them so closely in my hands what came to my mind was definitely for the first time. They all hold different colours, shapes and of course the undefined fragrance. . The God almighty has given them such beauty which can neither be measured nor be explained with words. I think no body ever can...!!!!! They all have their own identity. They all are from the same family FLOWERS but they are unique in their own special ways. Just like all of us. We all belong to same family called HUMANS but we all have our own identity. We all are unique. There is nobody in the world like us. So, I would say we are the master piece and that's why I completely believe that the best artist, designer, manufracturer or what ever technical words come to our minds; is none other then God almighty himself. He is definitely holding the numero uno place. And if we all fall in love with his amazing, beautiful and fantastic creations; then how he must be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning

Everyday life teaches us many things. But it entirely depends upon us what we learn. Everything around us may it be anything living or non living give some lessons but it is on us how we look at them. There can be two sides of everything but at which side do we look upto depends on us. We are the only one to decide what we are learning and to learn is not just enough. If we do not apply to our life what we have learned then what is the use of learning? So, Learning should bring Change. And we all agree that Change is necessary and continuous......

Let's think about this.....

With warm regards,
