I am 24years, 2months and 19days old today. If I think about these years that have passed by, they are not just a memory. They are what I am today. They are my KARMA. They are my identity, my character, my knowledge. What has gone pass cannot be changed. But the Supreme Being has given me something called as PRESENT that gives me the power to grow, to change, to improve, to do good KARMAS, to have new memories. Which in turn help me build a new identity, an all new Character and increase my level of knowledge by giving me the required share of new experiences.
The only reason for me typing the above lines is the fact that what actually goes with me is not my name, not my money, not the brands that I wear, not the relationships I built/destroy; it’s my KARMA that goes with me. It’s my Karma that has brought me where I am today. It’s only with the help of my Karma that I will reach where I want to, will achieve all that I desire.
This mantra of Karma is very simple. Must have heard from parents, learnt in school; but never inherited the same. ‘You always reap what you sow’. It isn’t difficult to understand, but a little hard to implement and accept.
In today’s world of shortcuts, instant coffee, easy ways of attaining pleasures; has somewhere made me drift away from the path that is made of my deeds, which leads me to my future. While I walk on this path I look behind, way behind. The beginning of this journey looks colourful, as I have my family with me to constantly guide me. My innocence doesn’t let me even consider the options that don’t fit in the principles laid down by my parents.
Then I reach at the level where I as a human am capable enough to look after myself. I assume I am able to choose and differentiate between the right and the wrong. Since this point in my life, the path of my deeds starts to turn ugly. It has my experiences of good and bad. It has my evil karmas buried under it. Very soon I see the path turning into BLACK.
This is when my roots come into action and rescue me from the horrible fate to come if I continued to live the same. This is when the very few people in my life help make me realize the darkness around. Which I might have probably ignored or not noticed for a longer time, who knows?? I go through this self-realization state, where I start seeing my life from the very beginning to till date. That’s when I realize the need to transform, the need to again make life as beautiful as ever, to become what I am meant to be and not try and “fit in” this new world.
This state of Self-Realization was very important for me in order to move ahead in the right direction. I thank My Family-whose constant support is my greatest strength, GOD-whose selfless love keeps me motivated .. and Renu di and Akash (who are family too) for making me realize and bringing about THE CHANGE in ME. Thank you all..!! Love you all..!!
This is where I am today, on the path of my deeds; looking ahead while not forgetting the past but promising myself to make the journey ahead as colourful as ever..!! So what if I have made mistakes, It’s not late for me to learn from them. It’s not late for me to change, in fact it’s never late to change. In order to bring Change, learn to be the Change. In order to feel love, learn to give love. In order to demand honesty and loyalty, learn to be truthful. To be true is the best gift I can give myself…
