How To Live?

Day in, day out
Work, work, work
No way out
What we are
No time to think about
Trio is the king of time
Fear, tear and doubt
How to live
Nobody knows
Who to live
Yes, all shout
I wrote these versus spontaneously on yesterday night while sitting alone before the window of my bedroom, enjoying the sweet winter breeze. I did not know what my fingers were penning down, but my heart was fully involved in this intuitive process.
Have we ever thought why do we work like a burden of beast from sun to moon and moon to sun. If you ask an individual the purpose of his labour, the simple answer will be “I do it for living a comfortable life”. Believe me, he/she will totally be unaware
of the meanings of comfort.
To most of us, comfort stands for eating a heavy meal, wearing an expensive dress, residing in a luxurious house and travelling in a deluxe car. Oh no! None of these things can give comfort, rather they are sources of stress both before and after availability.
In our busy routine, we do not listen to the voice of our soul which does not need any of the materialistic things. It has no concern whether you live in a mud house or dwell in a glaring palace. What it needs is love, solace, peace, and rest. Do we provide
these things to it? Not at all. Then why are we doing all this bullshit mess.
By working, earning and hoarding constantly, we are rapidly marching towards death. But when death comes, we are not ready to go in its wake. We do not want to leave what we have amassed and achieved. We want to stick with it and enjoy it. We never die
smilingly. How deplorable!
To me, the gist of whole life is a heartiest smile you show a moment before you die. How awesome this death will be. In fact, this will not be a death in the sense. It will be merely shifting from one house to another house. Nothing else. No other difference.
For such type of smooth transition from life to death, what we need to do is to love ourselves. Unless we love ourselves, we can never claim love for anyone else. Stop where you are and listen what your soul is whispering, then act upon its advice. This
will be the real life. This type of life will never end up, never die and never get uneasy.
Try to live your life, not merely wish to sustain breath.
