Is there a right way to live?
Each of us is unique. We come from the same
source and we complete this Life's journey to go back to the same source.
However, while all Life is equal, our lifetimes are cast in different
experiential molds. Each of us has a special role to play in our lifetimes and
has been created with a Purpose – and for a Purpose. We are all, to borrow a
term from the corporate sector, Special Purpose Vehicles!!! It is only till we
discover the Purpose of our creation that we struggle with living out our
lifetimes. Magically, when our Purpose manifests itself in front of us, the
haze clears and the experiments thus far, and the learnings from them, blend to
create our own unique way of thinking, living, working and winning.
The flavors of how we want to live may be
as unique as each of us is, but the common thread is to serve and to live
intelligently__and happily__ever after, whatever
may be the circumstance we are placed in. Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan
Chisty, the 12th century Sufi saint, whose shrine is located in Ajmer,
Rajasthan, has said it so beautifully: “Live your life with the magnanimity of a river, with the
kindness of the sun and with the humility of the earth.”
So,
if you think you are stuck in a rut or are lamenting that your Life's going
nowhere, relax. Wait till your life's Purpose finds you. And
then you too will awaken to the Garib Nawaz's (Chisty is popularly known so)
way of living a meaningful and happy Life!!
