Karma?



Well...i wonder what kind of creation is human being ...
who created us ? and why do i get that feeling of helplessness all the
time i see someone in rags,someone begging or someone beaten up
Sometimes i feel the same way when i meet really aged people at tough jobs .
My heart aches when very elderly men come seeking for business...
Wonder how they handle tough jobs at this age ..and have to run around
in spite the rising mercury , meeting young people like me to get business for their companies ..sometimes i feel sorry to say no to them!!
then i wonder ..is this sympathy wrong ?? may be yes !!!
i need to see more of the enthusiasm in them that has not changed in spite the old age rather than sympathise with them ...

How nice it would be if everything in this world seemed so perfect ...
no beggars ...no one slogging for business etc...
but then ...may be there is a reason why everyone is in that kind
of stage in their lives ...

I had my lesson one fine day ..

We were on a drive and at one of the traffic signals ...i noticed a man begging ...!!
The usual sympathetic me pestered my husband to reach out and offer the beggar something ...As he was more concerned about getting ready to go with the green signal ...i reached out and quickly offered few rupee coins ....
the next few seconds..i regretted what i did ...!!!
i could not believe that guy who was legless and begging on roads
could not understand my compassion instead teased me ...he merrily sang
.. "Dhoom machale" and he had spoken something that i failed to hear as the car went away from him ....only when my husband reminded me that he was teasing me,singing & mentioning .."let's go out" .....i realised how foolish i was
to feel for people like these !!!
no wonder it is said " Wherever & whoever you are ...It's your Karma"
He must have surely been an eve teaser in his previous birth and has accumulated such bad karma ....that he is begging on roads today ....and all i saw was may be a little of his nature ...this was my lesson learnt this week :-)
