We all have traveled in trains to our Native places,site seeing places,holy places….. Most of the time we travel with our family members,relatives,friends and colleagues.
The basic scenario in a train journey is some people will board the train at some stations & some will get down at some stations. The passengers sitting inside the train will be doing many activities for passing the time in the journey.Some will be reading newspapers or books,some will be watching movies,some will be peeping out of train to drink the nature's beauty through their eyes,some will be playing different games,some will be busy chatting on phones and with people around on various personal,social and political topics,some will be busy watching videos on laptop or cellphones,some will be constantly eating and sleeping and there will be some special category of people who will be cribbing about when the station will come,why did I board this train,I wish I was at home ,when will I get down and so on!!!!
Our life's journey is like this train journey which starts as soon as we come to this world!!
People like our parents,siblings,friends,relatives,colleagues join us in this journey at different stations but the problem is no one is there with us for the entire journey,people keep joining us and leave us in this journey exactly like people get in and get down a train!!!
But there is one person who is a constant companion in this journey -the "Driver", right from the point we start our journey to the point we reach our destination. He is the one who drives us towards our destination! He is none other than our ETERNAL parent, the cause of all causes! One should have complete faith on him else one may end up changing trains and never reach the final destination.
The journey has started and we have no option but to complete the journey.Now the option is with us to complete the journey with gratitude in the heart for everything that we have or complete the journey cribbing and complaining for the things that we don’t have!!!
This journey becomes blissful when we realize that there is a constant companion with us throughout the journey...everyone might leave me but he will be there with me always in all the happy and sad stations of my life!
This is how we can end this endless journey by expressing heartfelt gratitude for such a wonderful life, realizing the presence of the eternal parent and having complete faith in him that he will take me to the final destination which I alone can never reach.
