LIFE PULLS, IT PUSHES TOO!!

Some little events get our attention and make us think of things beyond them. I found a baby mouse at home and safely left is outside. Very next day another mouse was trapped which looked like mother of that mouse, very tiny one. I took the trap on scooter and left with it to release it safely away from homes. I stopped at dark road and opened door of trap with foot. After keeping it open for about 1 minute I picked trap up and came back home. Presto!!!! What I see when I took a look at trap, the mouse is still in!! Normally mouses run away from trap in less than 5 seconds of opening. This mouse was loving its captivity. I again went out and this time stopped at well lighted part of road. Opened door of trap, the mouse won't go away. Then I picked the trap and put it upside down. Seemingly mouse was clutching to trap and unwilling to get free!! I shaked the trap and it feel down and ran for cover. Life has so many incidents which attract our attention and this incident attracted mine. The mouse walked into trap out of its own free will. It was lured by a piece of bread, temptations are quite powerful. Later it developed love with trap, like some hostages develop love for their abductor. This mouse psychology applies to life on man on this earth. We involve ourselves in this world out of temptations and then we find it hard to go away. Incidents in life keep us telling that its the time to rise above our dwarf interests and do something to justify our life on this earth. Many of us understand this and act accordingly, others who fail to understand just get a shake out of this trap.

Life is a big magnet for all of us. Our preferences keep on changing but we always try to do our best in all circumstances. Of course trying to do our best is good but many a times we carry ourselves away with actions rather than their desired outcomes. First we want to do something, then after some time we start thinking of its validity and device a number of tests for it. During this phase the objectives for which we started our actions becomes oblivious. If we believe spiritual assumptions completely than every human being start life with good intentions. Our karmas bind us in this material world. At the very start, even before start, when humans are in womb they have capacity to think and understand. At that time the life form which still has to come on this earth determines to do all good things while on this earth and make best use of life which the creator is going to give him. But we all know what happens after that. Veil of maya drags us to our basic nature and very few can rise above it after much efforts. All things become relevant to contexts. At a time when my right arm aches my healthy left arm can't comfort me, all my attention and sense of pain 'll be diverted towards aching arm. When we want to attain something we do all out efforts for it and after attainment either we cherish it or slowly we start loosing interest in attained things. I am so much wonderful, I have got all things life can offer, I can get anything at my wish, if I wish for something I can have it. Slowly we develop the tendency of collection and become habitual winners. We collect things, people, feelings, emotions and let them litter away in some dark corner of our house, our consciousness and feel it right to look for them only if some need arises!! Many times we are lucky enough to find them again or either the efforts to attain them again start or we do start believing that they are not needed anymore as they have become useless.

Why push factor becomes dominant so much at times? A thing which can be achieved is not worth keeping!! Aim for the impossible and when it becomes possible find another impossible. There can be many factors responsible to it. When we are all out to attain something we put our all efforts for that and let our ego go down for sometime. After attainment no immediate objective remains so the efforts are not needed and ego also comes back. Then we start feeling need for other things. We need to keep ourselves busy, life should not be constrained to one thing only and I have far more important things to do. A mirage looks attractive, even if someone finds a nectar how much satisfaction can be achieved from it? There is a limit to everything and nectar 'll loose its attraction soon. When the peak point of longing is achieved a wish to get relaxation also follows.

Continuity can bore. When same things keep continuing for much time it becomes like a chore. Machines are better at performing chores than humans. I cant keep on doing same things again and again dear, its too boring :).
