In this World, there exist two distinct archetypes: those who tread the path of recklessness, driven by their impulsive desires, and those who follow the route of maturity and responsibility, seeking to extract value from every endeavour. The contrasting destinies of these individuals unfold as a testament to their choices and actions.
My mother once narrated me an example on this theme. In a village lived two different type of persons. These two villagers, were both given a bowl of water by their village headman to wash their hands and face. This seemingly mundane moment would reveal their character. The first, a paragon of prudence, not only cleansed his face and hands with the water but also preserved some for a rainy day. In stark contrast, the second, a representative of extravagance, thoughtlessly spilled half the water on the ground, leaving him unable to complete even the most basic cleansing.
Such tales resonate with our own lives. Some of us exercise utmost care with our resources, making every effort to conserve, even in the face of limited means. We save for the future, ensuring that we are prepared when the storms of life arrive. On the other hand, some habitually squander their resources, never managing to escape the cycle of financial scarcity, regardless of their high income.
Similarly, in the realm of relationships, we encounter those who approach them with maturity and steadfastness. They weather the storms, adapt to changing circumstances, and emerge stronger, driven by their patience, perseverance, and unwavering commitment. These are the individuals who, despite challenges, build lasting bonds that enrich their lives.
In stark contrast, the unstable and impulsive among us never truly sustain any relationships. Their interactions are marked by volatility and inconsistency, leaving a trail of broken connections in their wake.
Life is a canvas, and we are the artists. Complaining about fate or the world serves no purpose, for it is we who craft our destinies and shape the world we inhabit. The universe merely echoes a simple sentiment, “तथास्तु” – “So be it.” This phrase encapsulates the idea that we hold the power to mould our lives, to choose between the path of wisdom or the path of folly.
Let us, then, be inspired by those who navigate life with prudence, resilience, and a commitment to nurturing valuable relationships. By emulating their example, we can aspire to make our lives truly sublime, forging a destiny of purpose and fulfillment.
