|| Depth of Desire ||

I was reading a quote that says "it's not length of life but depth of life." I would say the depth of life is your depth of desire. If you just go into detail of each parameter of our life then those who believe in God, they get in-depth of spirituality, feel the depth of faith and depth of feeling of the divine and the real connection with God. People who don't believe they just do prayers or follow spiritual guidance for sake of doing, and some of them also feel that by doing this, they will reduce their sins. In today's world, we vote for politicians with lower voices, because we associate depth with the power and authority of those individual politicians. Do we really go in-depth to see what actually means for them "to help people"? and on the other side, if we see from the time human have born on earth till today the depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship, depending on the depth of the bond one has to face consequences whether it becomes big moral support or heartbreak or disappointment or happiness. Now be it spirituality or the reality of the world both depend on the depth of our own desire.

Depth of desire learning from Ramayana says though Rama had a desire to run the kingdom but he sacrificed his desire for his brothers. He knew Sita was clean by her deeds and he wanted or needed her support throughout his life, but one man from his own kingdom made a sarcastic comment about whatever happened with Sita, he also abused his own wife though she didn't do anything. Lord Rama sacrificed his desires to be with Sita and he let Sita sacrifice her life for her to prove respectful and for people to understand the circumstances. The depth of love of Lord Rama for Sita and the depth of love of Lord Krishna for Radha was so deep that today after so many years still they exists in every individual's heart. The depth of love for someone or understanding the depth of desire of an individual for their own self also depends on the depth of desire.

Working with hearing-impaired children made me realize that once your depth of desire is there to grow then nothing is impossible. I just met one of my hearing-impaired stars whom I know when he was three years old, not speaking anything, have not heard anyone speaking. We fitted him with hearing aids according to his requirement at that time whichever best technology was available. He studied in the normal school of Gujarati medium and then, later on, went for higher education in a well-recognized college, did B.com, then M.com, and learned tax analysis. He got married to a girl who is Marathi speaking and has a happy life. Today he speaks absolutely normal like us and leads a normal life. Last year he got a job at KPMG a leading organization, in Mumbai. Though he was working from home and had to work online, I heard he was facing difficulty in communication but his mother said I was there all the time sitting next to him and was helping him to manage some of the missed communication. After going through his and his family struggles and seeing him from a child to being such a responsible adult managing all the responsibilities like any other human being, it certainly makes me just imagine his depth desire to lead a normal life and his family also support him to grow? I don't have to say anything, don't you all feel we need to learn a lot from his story?

I feel the depth of desire can be accomplished when you go in-depth about working hard towards it. And that depth can be felt if you enjoy doing that hard work. A few years back when I used to go to one of the villages of Gujarat to see and help hearing-impaired children, I used to screen around 50 kids in a day and I personally used to fit all the digital hearing aids as per their individual requirements. My guide in the USA who does research for hearing aids has taught me fitting hearing aids in such a beautiful way with skills and giving better impact, that it has become an easy task for me. The best part is I was at a conference at his institute and all the audiologist professionals from all around the world were present there. My guide introduced me to them and said I do 50 kids' hearing aids fitting per day and you should hear the reactions of all the audiologists present there, they promptly said we do max 5 in a day how do you do 50? My guide replied so beautifully on my behalf its depth of desire to work towards it that matters? and I do agree with that, you do work which you love to do.

If we talk about our ancestors or even we the new generation breed, we all have to work hard towards our own desires as those desires are to learn, to eat, to work, or to help are only will make our mental and physical health more balanced and it will generate more positive energy. Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita or any religious book you go through writer has gone in-depth on human anatomy, physiology, psychology and has tried to narrate every incident with the depth of knowledge of human beings. The depth is so much that they generate the philosophy that, yes there are problems but there are also solutions available for the same. One of the scientists has only said that the depth of education is less important than its breadth and the length of life is less important than its depth. I will add to it that depth can be known through its own depth of desire.

Today my desire to work for hearing-impaired children and know them in-depth has changed my perception of life. "If you want to change the world, pick up the pen and write," these beautiful lines are quoted by Martin Luther. I completely agree with this statement, as most of you know about my blog page named "Spreading Positivity". I am writing for a long time in order to share my thoughts, experiences, and vision with society. I love expressing my feelings through words. I also focus on guiding society and teaching them ways to install positivity in their daily lives through my writing. I have received great feedback from my readers. Hence, writing for the betterment of the people is my way of bringing change to our society. I have started working on my own desire to make a change what about you all?

If you go to see everyday there are 1440 minutes we have which means we have 1440 daily opportunities to go in-depth of our desire which will help us to make a positive impact on our own lives and as well as on others. I always have a busy schedule and as a professional never get much time to really work on my other desires and time to implement them in reality. But given an opportunity to dance in one of the function, be part of any event, help to anchor in emergency, go to help someone in need, spend time with my parents, go on outing or travel in vacation, to be very honest, I never miss these opportunities. Because it gives me immense happiness and makes my task easier to work for my own self and for others also.

Working as a professional, working for humanity, and spreading positivity through my writing I feel has come as I love to observe, learn and be flexible in my approach and willing in going in-depth to understand. I believe in starting the day with smile, spent rest of the day by being humble, eating well, jumping high in excitement, being curious to learn more and most importantly dreaming high. My life journey has taught me the depth of desire can only be achieved through understanding in depth the spirituality and today's reality.
