Rays of Dharma
the light of experience. We passed the childhood in playing and youth in availing the worldly pleasure; now is the time when the dirt of worries settles down and clean water flows smoothly in the stream of life. We can now afford to ponder over the well-being of the soul or to sit with the wise and talk about the good aspects of life. While doing so, let a ripple of wind ensue and our eyes may close down at ease like a flower falling from the plant.
The conditions have, of course, changed; many people are now required to work even during the old age. But that should not involve restlessness. Whatever the situation, we should accept. If it is necessary to handle economic or other worldly aspects, do so, but do not run after them. We need to go in for the true purpose of human life; it is not meant for lying in bed, waiting for the end.
