LESSON: 'Witness' the events 'Today'
Now.. this is gonna be subtle...
I was watching the movie PK sometime back. It was funny how I laughed on the events that unravelled one by one in the movie; the romance, the satirical comedy and Amir Khan with that strange eyes wide open-never blinking was fun to watch. Although we relate to the main character-the hero of a movie or novel we enjoy even if they are made fun of or if they do something embarrassing.
I was wondering if each one of us can witness and have fun with the best character of this world-our well loved hero- "Myself"
When we do something funny and people around us laugh, why not laugh at this body & its actions along with others? I believe that the solution lies in witnessing the incidents of our every day life.
Yes it is 'my' life, 'my' actions.... contrary to Amir Khan's life in the movie which is not even real. The movie will end, but think......so won't our life ?!
So witness the incidents that are happening now... your character is acting and be elevated with this awareness.
Let me summarize with two quotes one very famous and the other equally profound.....!
"All world's a stage and all men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his life plays many parts.."
--William Shakespeare
"....King! Tell me now. Is this lapse into sorrow a hereditary virtue? will it result in sin if you do not indulge in it in this occasion? Or do you hope recover your loss by such grief? King think well and tell me what you gain by sorrow..."
