Take it light baby...

The other day I woke up and the first couple of things that came to my mind are which train I am suppose to catch today, which projects are pending, etc. Then suddenly I looked at the sky and I felt whats the hurry? Why is my brain so occupied with all this planning and scheduling that I did not even notice the beauty of nature when I got up in the morning? That is when I told myself 'ok stop. Spend a few moments looking at the beautiful morning and the beautiful nature around. Everything else to be done later'. So that is how my day began.

After that I made it a point to spend time observing things around. The trees, birds, rains, sky....and it gave me a lot of peace and happiness to just look at the birds chirping, the trees swaying because of the wind and the rains. It feels so good to see some people enjoying the rains while having their morning cup of coffee...while others are looking for shelter because they don't have an umbrella and they don't want to spoil their ironed clothes before reaching the office..

Then while travelling in train, I was looking at the fresh and beautiful smile that people carried while starting their day.. Radio played beautiful music..Listening to music and enjoying the view of beautiful green trees while travelling is a bliss !! The essence lies in just observing things without having any thoughts about anything in your mind.

These activities are very trivial to perform..That is why we do not pay attention to all these things like looking at birds and trees and enjoying the rains.. After all, who has that much of time right? But it is out of experience that I suggest everyone to adopt this observation technique once in a while. Only because there are many beautiful things that nature has to provide us. And when we admire it, the kind of peace and pleasure that we derive out of it is immeasurable. Trust me it will take away all your tensions and problems and all of a sudden life will seem so beautiful to all of you. And then you will be recharged to start with the day and face good and bad situations, come what may..

But so as to experience it, you need to try it... So will you ?? Tomorrow morning maybe ?? Remember, the essence lies in golden four words 'don't think, just observe'.
