perplexing paradox

 

         perplexing paradox

Its a perplexing paradox; so long we try to make ourselves happy, life places obstacles in our path; the moment we turn away from ourselves to make others happy, our troubles begin to melt away,
joy comes working for us;

Gandhi says : "My life is an indivisible whole; I am trying to reduce myself to a zero"

Forget yourself; focus on others; what I can give others;
Time and Energy to help others;
I have this problem of creating a universe around myself!

I need to remind myself of this :
I am one in 7 Billion people on Earth
Earth is one tiny speck of solar system
Sun is one tiny star among billions in Milky Way
The Milky way is one such galaxy among the millions of galaxies in the Universe
That is Infinity!

Then who am I? I am just a tiny speck
why am I having this ego?
why cannot I make this world a better place by helping others?

I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
