Oh human,
Why have you paused on the path of life in such sadness today?
Are you tired?
Then,
Do you not wish to understand the cause of this exertion?
The journey you once began with joy,
The path that was once adorned with flowers,
Gentle and pleasant,
Why does it now feel so complex?
And you,
Why do you feel so burdened,
So weary?
Perhaps this is the right moment not to move forward but to pause for a while,
To look back and see what has happened.
Why do your steps tremble before moving ahead?
Why does your heartbeat grow restless?
Why does your mind refuse to go forward?
Why does the future appear wrapped in the mist?
And life begin to feel like a tangled puzzle.
Where has that joy gone,
A joy of walking?
A joy of living,
The sweet bliss of simply being within yourself?
In living for others and trying to show others,
You forgot your own self.
You forgot to listen to that subtle inner voice,
You stopped looking within.
You kept watching others,
Kept listening to others.
You made competition your definition of completeness and staying ahead your ultimate goal.
What can comparison even bring true fulfillment?
And does staying ahead really lead to the final destination?
True completeness lies in seeing oneself and the real goal is attainment of deep inner peace.
Today,
Ask yourself,
When was the last time you truly listened to your own heart and looked within?
In this journey,
What have you gained and what have you lost?
Just ask yourself,
This fatigue,
This sadness,
Is it truly from the journey itself or is it the exhaustion of life lived for others where you made yourself secondary and lost your own identity?
Life cannot be lived by watching others.
Your happiness lies in discovering your own completeness,
Not in chasing someone else.
Oh mind,
Pause for a moment today.
Let your exhaustion fully dissolve so that the new journey you begin is filled with joy,
Ease and playfulness.
Remember,
Living for yourself is not selfishness.
It is the practice of knowing your own life and in knowing yourself,
No harm ever comes to anyone.
Come,
Now return back to your inner being.
