ALL IS NOT WELL
The other side of the fence always looks green, when we see our life, we might feel that only I am suffering in the world, only I have problems and these problems are endless.
But when you peep in others life, we realize that we are not the only one who are faced with issues, there are many more, almost all.
Few days back, I got a call from a girl, sounding very confident, very cheerful, she was speaking in such a positive way, the confidence from her mood flew in my mind and I really liked the talk with her. After couple of days, again we spoke and this time, she was not the same girl. She was a girl with moroseness, full of anxiety, trying to find positivity in life. When she made me peep in her life, I realized she is living such a trouble some life with no proper goal in life, with no proper guidance, no thought of which way to go, what to do and what not to do, leading a completely bewildered life. Her parents' relationships are hollow, the property which they possess are catching the wrong eyes of relatives, her sister's marital life is almost getting to end, she herself has gone through the phase of molestation by her own relatives, she has the habit of taking to drinking sometimes and she is still maritally undecided, going through a phase of horrible confusion.
When we talk with more and more people, we realize that problems are everywhere and the outside glowing face and smile, which they show is so fake and unrealistic. It is just to convince their inner-self that All IS WELL, it is just to mitigate the trouble that their heart is going through. The package of problems are different but the solution is same. The solution is to transcend the problems and know for sure – that no one is spared here, everyone is victimized by time, today or tomorrow. We are so lucky that we are connected to such a beautiful philosophy, beautiful teachings and wonderful devotees. The only thing that we have to do is to develop faith that - Yes we are in such a safe hands of ISKCON.
