The Gift called….LIFE….

“A Prize is something we achieve for our performance towards other’s…

But….A Gift is received for the other’s love towards us..”


A few Gifts I’m blessed with….completely without any performance from my side…

· To be alive and breathing …at this very moment..

· To be born as a human being…and not as a field rat…or a coackroach..

· To be part of the conscious world who thrives to think above his own self…

· To be born a healthy child…without being physically or mentally impaired

· To be born in a home…and not left on the road to survive or die on my own…

· To be blessed with loving parents…grand parents…and so many others who
cared about me then as they care about me now…

· To be born in India.. a country whose priority has always been wisdom over wealth…. has never invaded any other country in her whole history…a country which teaches love and contentment…over selfishness and greed..

· To have the ability to think that the purpose of life goes beyond eating , sleeping and earning money…

· To still have the ability to love…even when we continue to be surrounded by lovelessness all around us...

· The ability to have the courage and hope…to face life….when many decide otherwise…

· The ability to ask the question ‘why’…the basic trait of curiosity which demarcates a man from other animals… a human child is naturally born with such immense curiosity..

· To be ability to appreciate the beauties of nature…the sound of music…the vastness of the universe…

· To be able to laugh…a rare ability bestowed on mankind probably no other animal is gifted with…(a hyenas laughter is just a cry…it has no joy in it..)

· The ability to create…art., music , literature., architecture…or simply a happy surrounding…

· The ability to dream…the most striking ability of mankind…which has taken him sometimes to the moon…sometimes at the summit of Everest…and sometimes to the highest level of consciousness…although Animals too have the ability to love…but no one else is blessed with the ability to dream…

· The ability to cry for others….a rare ability….which points to us the glimpse of the fragment of the immense compassion the nature has bestowed us with

…I guess they are right when they say…
