Illumination of Abundance

I learned what was mine was written in the stars, so I never demoralized with what I lost. I learned that pain was only a twinkling of a star time, so I never mourned for it. I learned laughter was only a blink of an eye so I laughed to fullest! I acknowledged that all my beloved were to part me, so I always tried to expect less from them. I knew my existence was of a mere mortal, so I strive to leave good and solid footprint to the coming wayfarers! And lo! There are many to come after me so I bother not with progeny!

I learned that with hard work and hard times the illumination increases. So I struggle to learn even a morsel of knowledge. I learned that hate was energy consuming, so I forgave insolence. I learned that not in every good turn would I deserve equivalent other, so I grateful for the less and equaled my big with the other less! I knew that if anything wasn't a blessing, then it would always be a lesson and that my mood was like water; crystal clear when it was still, and tempestuous, when agitated. So I try to control my anger! I knew I was in a race to success, so challenged myself! I recognized my privileges, so I learned to not envy for more!

I acknowledge I was no god, so I accept my weakness and harness what I could of good morale & moral! I accredit my humanity, so I cry, smile, love, adore, and worship! I know I was a mercy, so I plant hope to every creature; plant or animal. I know that death is inevitable, so I teach myself in every sunrise to give more and ask less. I knew I was a parable, for good or evil, so I guard over my thoughts, statements, and actions. And when I fail achieving it, I ask myself why I failed guarding them.

If you ask me now how did I come to these conclusions? I’ll tell you I experienced plenty and lived frugally. To paraphrase it, I learned things can be acquired but abundance must be tuned to. So stop rushing into things, when the times is right, it will happen.

The Dilemma

The path can be clear and even your objective may be clear. But what you might also need to know sometimes is that you may need to make sacrifices! But sacrifice what time or money? When even time is money!

Before I traveled, I made some objectives keeping everything in mind. My skills, ability, strength and even weakness! Now I feel tested? Just like the experiment I used to do in the physics lab back in the days of school!
The roods diverged into the yellow wood. After a peep; I sensed one path was path of a caged parrot. Fed and properly hydrated but imprisoned. Yet, the other road alas was risky. Neither was there a promise of sustenance nor was there a risk of imprisonment.  What about the burden on my tired shoulders? Can I carry them in this non-prognosticated path?  Two months and a week would tell? Do or Die!

The Mahatma taught me something; whenever he was given an option between two things he would take the easiest of them only if it was farthest from immorality. If it were immoral, He would be the farthest from it. The path was sure easy. It was unquestionably a non- malevolent path!

Nevertheless, the path fulfills null. Neither has it taken my potential, current objectives nor past glories. Yes, with time, it can fulfill my ultimate aim. Yet, maybe the other path will take me to a shorter cut! Do I fear it? Is it worth sacrifice? Time, Money and Burdens have weekend me

I fear not failure or repercussions. Yet retribution from loved ones of my failures and wicked-mouth of those who bear black-hearts and sweet tongues, I can’t bear. And seeing me aimless, broken, and darkened by vision in that ancient house is what I fear. Neither where a hand can be lent nor can wisdom be decreed.


Which path should I sail and which will anchor me to my dreams… Which?
