Here I stand a criminal in my own court

Submitted by pravachak on
My walking on the road has become difficult. I have become mad. When I see a helpless, my mind asks me to move on but my heart curses me for my insensitivity.

I am, but one man.I do not like to see old people and children struggling to cross the road. The picture of a man starving on the footpath tears through me. Poor kids begging on the road is not my India.

My philosophy says-"Work to shape your dream world'. But I find myself helpless. How can I change the situation? What makes me fel for these people? Why can't I just overlook and move on? My job, my existence, my hands, my eyes , all are in question. I stand as a criminal in front of the Jury of my heart.

Finding answers..

What Arjun was told in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Go on.. Live and do things.. By your actions, change the things you do not like....

Krishna rightly said there is something, which is indestructible as well as same and common in whole of mankind. However, now it is found that it is mutilated or disturbed in all of us, giving rise to varying personalities and various levels of perception. Isn't it imperative that we must go further, that can bring whole mankind together?

u feel for those pple coz they r humans like u... they are suffering much more than u..n u have a heart 2 feel... Y DO U FEEL HELPLESS? u've got hands 2 donate...may b not all such pple..but wherever u see such pple try 2 help them... u r one man but u can help many..then ur heart doesnt curse u..it'll b smilin.. so wat i say is dont search for a reason to be kind... just do watever u can to help others.

I guess it is the fire in the heart and the restlessness of the soul which does not find peace at every such scene it sees. Help once , or twice or many more times.. or every-time is the right thing to do. But these instances may help a person explore deeper meaning of things.. And then .. by analyzing self, a man may feel guilty..

Even I feel the same.... When I want to help them but still end up just watching them..... I feel very guilty.... I become very sad, restless... My PEACE OF MIND is GONE.... I some times won't understand what stops me from doing what i want to do.... But Ya it's a horrible feeling of guilt... And I have learnt my lessons.... To face whatever is that stops me from what i want to do is much easier than that feeling of guilt.... so powerful so deep within.... Now I think only one thing.... If I want to do it.... and if the answer is yes, I won't give a second thought to it... I'll just go do it.... It doesn't mean I am completely void of that feeling now... I still have it... But one Day I'll kick it out too... I just have one thing to tell... You want to do it... Just go for it.... And see what lies after that.... nothing will ever stop you again..... IT'S JUST ONE DECISION AWAY... do it once, and you'll see the magic... ALL THE BEST.....
