Gift Of The Winter

                                   


                       Trees are turning yellow to shade their leaves, sky is clear with bright moon amidst the shinning stars, dews are smiling on the leaves, nest of birds are beautifying the trees ,Ways are becoming mysterious with fog and  roadside golden grass giving it a royal look,sun is shinning gently, air is blowing peacefully, skin is becoming dry, nose is freezing and flowing ,fresh veggies are flooding the market, marigold is blooming to decorate the houses, festivals have lined up, sweaters have came out after long period of hibernation from some unknown corner of your cupboard, fan is happy to get a little rest; Vaseline, boroline, Nivea, boroplus etc popping in through ads asking you to buy them, shekoti is giggling to hear gossiping of men and women and Children's are excited to get Diwali  vacation."This is the Indian winter. "

Teachings of winter:-  No season is as calm as indian winter. After a noisy uncertain rainy season comes winter with it's magic of calmness and practice of slowing down , making us  ready to face the  anger of  hot heavy and anxious summer 🫠. 

 Following are the teachings of winter:-

1) Trees shading leaves, teaching us the practice of letting go. 

2)After the kharif harvest Agriculture land is preparing itself  for rabi season,  teaching the importance of taking break and healing oneself. There is no need to rush in doing one thing after another, take a small break to get ready  for new task with new zeal. 

3)Winter is full of  festivals especially the big one like Diwali, teaches the values of togetherness, sharing, spreading happiness and gratefulness. 

4)Be healthy as health is wealth. No other season provide as fresh and varieties of vegitibles as winter does. Sitafal, Peru, Mula, carrot, harbara,toor, vangyach bharit, etc., are the taste of the winter. So, make sure you enjoy the flavours of winter. 

5)Sun is setting early and calmly asking us to rest and slow down. 

 

So, in a nutshell Winter teaches us to be calm, to heal, rest for a while, slow down to observe what's happening and let go of what has happened. 

 

Winter teaches us how to live a life. In this winter try to chill in coolness of winter. Slow down a little bit, go for vacation if you can, calm down your busy schedule, witness the changes winter is making in environment, culture, society, economy etc., Example:- Winter with its many festivals bring society together, they exchange greeting, smiles and hope. winter increases social cohesion and reduces conflicts. Though the winter is cold it spread warmness among people. 

Be a little bit romantic about your life. Freeze a bit to Watch the falling leaves. I ensure you, time will stop, you  will embrace the now, and will Learn to let go. Like the trees, in this winter try to shed your worries, you will feel more light and free, in this way you will make a space for peace within. 

Live your life in harmony with season. "In this winter be the winter" 😊

The founder of Buddhism Gautam Buddha taught its application in simplest way.         Most of the time  when things fall out of control and plan goes off the road, we get  controlled by our mind .Until we find out that we are living in mind and nothing is happening in real ,it already has done its work;  yes you are getting it right anxiety takes over...

Death The Reminder

                         As we grow older we start to take our life so seriously that it culminates into stress, anxiety and worry replacing our childhood innocence, joy, happiness and curiosity. This happens because while living our life we forget about our death ,that one day we are going to die. This is depicted in a really phenomenal way in the movie named  'SOUL', which shows what it means to be ready to live ,which Joe Gardner realises after getting into coma (Nearly dead) . It is said that death is the end of life, so how could it be different from life, rather Death is a  part of life. Life is life because of  death. Death makes the life Complete. It gives the real meaning to the life. So to fully live the life it is most important to understand the death. But nobody introduce us to the death, even our family, society and school don't talk about the death, and  even if they do, they talk about i...
