The toughest lesson I have not yet learnt from life is 'Karmanyevadhikaraste maa phaleshu kadaachana.' It's quite easy to understand, but very very difficult to follow. I try to follow it every day and fail. Human mind being what it is, it's hard not to expect at the least kindness in reciprocation of my duty which I believe I do towards all humans around me. Is my expectation wrong in today's world? May be it is wrong - either in Krishna's world or mine.
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
