|| Beauty of Life ||

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. According to me, the beauty of life is when we love our life. On this earth for any human being the most attractive and beautiful is nature around us. Everyone finds beauty in nature in a natural way. One may appreciate a beautiful woman or certain materialistic things but it's not necessary everyone appreciates in a similar way. But the beauty of flowers, mountains, or rivers every human being loves it. As there is no thinking required in this. It's just pure love for nature. Here love is just selfless. How about selfless love for our own self.??? From the time we start using our mind, our thinking just goes on how to make our parents happy by talking, how to get an education so you survive in society or how to take responsibility for our spouse or our family, how to feel good in society and that goes on.....We just land up thinking something or other but we actually forget what exactly we love doing in life, which we can do with freedom and can spread love and blossom like flowers in a natural way.

Let's understand the beauty of Women is in her simplicity. However good figures, dressing, or ornaments you wear but what everyone appreciates is, how beautiful you are by your heart. Similarly, good look Radhaji and Sitaji had in Mahabharata and Ramayana but they are only recognized by their heart, the kind of sacrifice they did. Mother looks beautiful but for child, it's the warmth and love mother gives that matters, for parents however beautiful daughter is it's the love and care she takes of her parents or in-laws that matters, and for husband however beautiful wife is but for him how good companion she is that matters. Similarly for society how much ever good or social work a woman does but how dignified is she, that matters. So here also beauty is in selfless love by a woman.

The beauty of mind is only when you can see through the illusion and when you understand that it's you and only you are part of a solution. Here I will narrate a very small and simple incident, I always tell my daughters you should always have faith in God. However, today's technology and practical life don't convince their mind to think of having faith in God. But recently my daughter's friend's mother was not feeling well due to Coronavirus and her friend was so much worried and upset as she is in USA and the mother is hospitalized in India. Looking at worried friend my daughter gave her a picture of God and said "My mother always says have faith in God, don't worry your mother will recover soon," and really in few days, her health started improving. Now, this incident first made my daughter believe in God as she always observes me, and again the selfless love that she passed to her friend and also her mind made her listen to her heart. So always the beauty of life is in love and that you can only understand if you have faith in God.

The beauty of life is only when it makes you feel alive. To feel alive you need to do things which you desire or which you love or which you enjoy. Some people love talking, some love cooking, or writing, or reading, or some even enjoy sports. Everyone has their own desires in life which they need to fulfill, by organizing themselves. Our inner potential needs to be unique and different, or our inner potential needs to be used in the right direction which will make our lives beautiful. Today in these difficult times there are many people who have invented their own potential and are doing extremely well. Predictions from astrology or science says that we will not come out of this coronavirus or pandemic situations so easily but, I feel that, the time we start understanding how to live a beautiful life and we are alive that itself will make us understand how to live rest of our life beautifully. Our own desires enjoyed with freedom will only keep us alive.

The beauty of life comes through understanding gratitude. In these difficult times, let's just stop thinking about our problems for a second, and let's start appreciating all the blessings we have in life which is granted for us. Today though we are passing through difficulties, in this universe or in this century we have science, we have hospitals, excess to technology, we have so many NGO'S to support, we also have people to support or to look after, 100 years before when there was pandemic no such facilities were there, we should count ourselves lucky. It's our duty to contribute back by doing and spreading self-less love. Why only a few people learn and sacrifice, Why can't we all?

India has a rich culture, our ancestors have taught us what is good and bad, God has given us everything, so let's pay gratitude towards it. Our religion and culture have rich rituals. Our manners, our feelings towards others and ourselves are the only way which can give beauty to our lives. Let's respect and love each other, our own behavior will only help us to make our life more beautiful.

Writing blogs on spreading positivity has made me a better person. My inner strength and a calm mind are helping me to give positive vibes to others. Writing every blog has increased my self-confidence to write and it has helped me to improve my inner health. Being positive in life and learning from hearing-impaired children that, whatever challenges come in life never lose your self-confidence. Recently on the occasion of World Deaf Day, I did interview five of my students, everyone had one thing in common, they were so much positive in life that they are confident enough to face any challenges of life and they have selfless love towards themselves and for others. The moment I said, I will interview you all which will motivate other deaf kids and their parents, and it will change the mindset of people towards the deaf community. None of them gave any excuses or thought about money or their time. They immediately agreed. I mean, they are the best people to teach us what does selfless love means? Yes, for us money is important but then you can decide how, when, and where you should earn money and where you should not???

The very fact of life is, it is up to us which way you want to make life beautiful. Is it by superficial beauty or by your inner beauty, You need to look beautiful in your own eyes. The beauty of life is in your own hands, you only can enjoy walking in beautiful nature when you yourself feel it. Selfless love towards yourself and to others can make our life beautiful.
