It has been so tiring for last two days. I never have been sleepless for two days after my college days. I used to study at night for exams as we had a big joint family and there was no place to study during the day. After 10 years, I am sleepless for last two nights. Since morning, my husband is not well and I have to make sure he gets his medicine on time. One tension ends and another startsJ
I thought to read something that can help me to meditate and be awake. I will paint my canvas whole night to be active as colours give us energy. I read a very nice story through my Art of Living group and it is so much related to my present condition. I felt to blog it for my readersJ.
I think I will go into silence for 10 minutes after blogging this story. I really need it!
Here once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded. Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance. The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough." So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed. The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction."
Moral: A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind. Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps you to set your life the way you expect it to be...!
