SALVATION OF THE WORLD TRULY LIES IN THOSE HEARTFELT FEELINGS ALONE! #CAUSEACHATTER


The servant boy in the rich man’s house
  • Reported for duty in the early morning hours at the appointed hr,
  • Cleaned himself well and
  • Immediately got into his routine..
Which consisted of
  • Folding the beds,
  • Positioning the cots and
  • Setting right the furniture in all rooms..
Subsequently he,
  • Swept the entire house with a big and clean broom,
  • Wiped the floors of all rooms with a wet mop and
  • Brought the entire house to a spotlessly clean condition..
At the end of the morning activity, he
  • Sat in a place in the living room,
  • Took the plate of breakfast kept for him by his master's cook and
  • Started eating that slowly
With all readiness to do the other routine activities for the day at his master's place..

While eating breakfast, the boy's

HEARTFELT FEELINGS

Remained thus..

“This entire house
  • Fully furnished with many gadgets and facilities
  • Spread out on a huge piece of prime land
  • Costing few crores of rupees
Never belongs to me even though I live here all the day for the whole of my life along with my owner. I just
  • Do my work here,
  • Keep the house spotlessly clean and safe and 
  • Remain truly devoted..
Thus goes my life here with all fullness!”

The Master of the house too
  • Readied himself for the day,
  • Sat in his usual chair in the central place of the spacious living room and
  • Started glancing thru' the day's Newspaper..
Along with that, he equally was
  • Supervising the Boy's activities,
  • Reminded him on the works he missed doing and
  • Followed up closely the doing of the same..
Subsequently, he was
  • Served breakfast at his place by his cook,
  • Finished the same in a short time and started
  • Waiting for the boy to finish his breakfast and take up the other pending works for the day..
While waiting, the master's

HEARTFELT FEELINGS

Remained thus..

"This place of work for the boy
  • Existing in nature well before I became the master here
  • selected by him as a place of his work
  • Continue to provide his livelihood
May belong to me on paper but truly speaking
  • I am neither the owner nor the giver here just
  • Doing my job of overall supervision and general take care and 
  • Remain humble..
Thus goes my life here with all fullness!"

There was a Flash..

"These are the

IDEAL ATTITUDES OF REFERENCE

To

HUMAN BEING

Let the person be a

MASTER OR SERVANT

Those who constantly balance themselves thus  alone are living

THE RIGHT LIFE

In this world!"

Concurring with those thoughts,

Sloka 38, Chapter II of Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Was heard on distant loud speakers being recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel..

'sukhaduhkhe same krtva labhalabhau jayajayau
tatoyuddhaya yujyasva naivam papam avapsyasi'


'Being equipoised in happiness and unhappiness, profit and loss, victory and defeat, prepare for battle (meet the challenges of life) and in this way you will not incur sin.'

    1. That's truly great of you, Archana.. Work and Ownership forever go hand in hand and each cannot go on without the existence of the other by the side.. Mutual respect forever lies in seeing the importance of the other in the process.. Thanks for the appreciation!
