Never Give Up

 

Never Give Up

Human beings have been given the ability to think, the sense to achieve beyond expectations, the drive to succeed and go where ‘no man has gone before’. It is said that we use just a fraction of our inherent abilities as we have not learnt to use the full power of our brain. When we have such hidden abilities within us, then why do we feel afraid and scared at the smallest tragedy that befalls us. There are innumerable stories of people who are born with disabilities or people to whom life throws a curve ball and they fall victim to accidents which make them wheelchair bound, but these people dive deep within and come up with the strength to fight and discover and develop new skills which makes their life far more outstanding than those who are considered ‘normal’!

A simple net search will give you a whole list of such stories – many of them have gone on to become motivational speakers inspiring people with similar disabilities to get up and live their life with the new ‘normal’ – not just live it but become successful too! There is the story of Gurah from a very poor family in West Bengal who was brilliant in school. In spite of their poverty, he stood first throughout. His parents died and he had to give up studies due to lack of finance. He joined the air force through a group recruitment drive and ranked third in the all-India examination. Unfortunately, he met with a terrible accident and was told that he would be confined to a wheelchair for life – a bright rocketing career shot down by fate?! So, you would think, after initial despair he decided to do something about his life – he decided he wanted to paint. HE DID NOT GIVE UP. He contacted the Mouth and Foot Artist Association and enrolled himself. Today, he is a success story with more than 100 amazing paintings to his credit – he now motivates people by talking at various paraplegic centres all over the country!

Just as you should not give up in life, never give up when you are on the spiritual path. Meditation is something that balances all your chakras while you go through the ups and downs of life. It gives you the ability to stay balanced in all environments. Just because you do not get meditation, don’t give up – because it just takes a fraction of a moment, just one flash for you to go from the material to the universal – the kundalini (the latent serpent energy lying at the base of the spine) rises and goes through the three meridians and seven chakras in a flash as you attain liberation. That is something that is permanent and lasting – keep that picture in mind if you ever feel like giving up on meditation! Remember meditation is life and life is meditation. Live it, enjoy it!
