Who Is Afraid of Ageing ?

Who Is Afraid of Ageing ?


One of my colleagues approached me, confiding that he was very much worried of getting older every day.  The gap between the teeth is widening, he observed. 

I told him it is natural.  A new born child, a kid, a teenage, a young man, a middle aged man, an old man and ultimately death is the life process.  And we should respect the natural process. And of course, we have no option. Be aware of what our sarasar vivek tells us.

And I cautioned him, "if you allow your mind to get dominated by such  fear of ageing, you will only accelerate the process which will be too much visible in your personality."

What he could do?  He wondered.  

So  I offered him a few words of encouragement to face the reality and reach such a state of mind where he would be able to enjoy the process of ageing.

I feel as if the above tree is telling me, look, I am bending, yet I enjoy growing and growing!
Unfortunately, at that time I could not show my friend the above photograph of an old, tired tree which I recently added to my mobile photo album.  But I find it speaks a lot. It is expressing - I am growing, though precariously.  I may bend here and there but I enjoy growing and growing to my fullest.

This is flower Gokarna -saying I am having that sense of fulfillment in life.

My better half pointed out it to me when we were enjoying our morning walk. One can see the challenging circumstances it has bloomed in to the fullest.
We must seek inspiration in our life from such natural happenings around us. That is what our sarasar vivek ie power of discretion tells us.
Now I have realized recently that the above thought is equally applicable and worth considering for any one who is worried about getting older day by day.  And I am confident that for any  one who is worried  about the inevitable ageing process, the above thoughts are meaningful  and will prove significant  as well as inspirational.
And I am sure, one will at once throw away one's own feeling of sadness and disappointment towards the inevitable process of ageing. And be enthusiastic to enjoy the life process to the fullest.
What do you say ?
Next time ......
