This, Too, Will Pass

Wow!!! I came across a profound statement from a forwarded email "This, Too, Shall Pass". Well, all of us have known this old age truth, but most of us understand at intellectual level, appreciate it and then move on with our mundane lives.

I have also learnt that in Life we need to be 'Witness' rather than the 'Doer', which I always intend and want to be. Seldom we realize that things happen by themselves, we are just a 'Witness'; well some times a catalyst, but never the 'Doer'. Hence once we realize that we will always look at the Life with a very different unattached way and then Live it Fully and Most Powerfully, as we will no more be attached to the results of our actions.

Well, coming back to mundane day to day living. Today was a pretty hectic day right from morning 7:00 am, yes even on a Sunday I woke up at my regular time and then started contemplating. Spend quite some time in a relaxed manner with Family. Then on to the Temple (Jain Mandir) and then after lunch, went to complete the Accounitng and other stuff which I have delayed like forever.

Amazingly, I was at office from 1:30 pm till 9:30 pm and still did not feel tired at all. Today was also some relatives' birthdays so wished them as well.

Also realized again that no one really needs me, i.e. even if I leave today for whatever, my immediate family would also do well, it is a diffeerent thing that in my presence, I may be a Catalsyt in their life. But am certainly not the 'Doer'.

Well it is midnight now and I need to sign off, to take on another day tomorrow morning. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
