Thought for the day ten

Remember that you are very special. NO ONE else can play your role better than you

This should increase the self confidence in people. We are all special. We are not inferior to anyone else in this world. Just because we think like this, we need not denigrate others. We have no right to do that.

If we see the world in the scientific way, we are all equal. Nature (or God) has given all of us 2 eyes, 2 ears etc.,

The weight of the brain is also same for everyone. Then why we think we are inferior to others? Or why should we think that we are superior to others?

Each has a specific role to play in this world. Some people’s roles come to be known to everyone in this world. For example, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Rabindranath Tagore to name a few.

There are others who help the world in their own way. But they all get categorized under unanimous. They are keen to help others, but they don’t want their names to be known by the world.

When the life is like this, we should be careful not to hurt others. This is to be seen in another way. If the other person hurts us, do we tolerate? No!

We should treat the others the way we want them to treat us!

We have been brought to this world to do something special. There are people who build our houses, people who build prayer halls, people who build hospitals; we even have people who build crematoriums!

That means each has done his duty. Same way someone sells us vegetables, some give us water and some others give us service like driving a Bus, Taxi, Auto.

So, we have to think positively and do our work like the Sun.

No one is like the Sun. It comes up in the East at the stipulated time, gives light and heat and goes down in the West at the stipulated time. It doesn’t mean that the Sun is out. When we have the darkness, the Sun has gone to give light to the Western Countries. Amazing, isn’t it?

The Sun is called the Karma saakshi in Sanskrit. He will be the witness to our doing (and undoing!). It doesn’t feel happy that there is a birth in a house where sunlight is being shone. Or it doesn’t feel unhappy that someone died in someone’s house!

I do not say that we should be without any feeling. What I mean is that nothing should bring hindrance in our duty. My idea is that we should shirk away from our duty.

If one is a carpenter by his profession, he could be the best person to do the carpentry work. If he is asked to make a pot, he may not be the best person.

This is on the professional front. On the personal front, I am son /daughter to our parents, brother/sister to our brothers and sisters, husband/wife to our respective spouses, father/mother to our children.

This looks very silly, but seriously, it is a matter of high importance. Imagine anyone is missing in our lives, we feel forlorn. This is where the statement no one can play our role better than us rings true.
