Dad, please come early

"Daddy, Daddy, Please don't go for the walk. I want to spend some time with you. Mom, If you go, I won't talk with you," I cried. For two days my parents obliged my request but daily, they can't.

I go to school at 9 in the morning and come back at 4:30 in the evening. After having snacks, I leave for the tuition at 5:30 PM and return at 8 '0 clock. While watching some TV soaps I will have my dinner and then go to bed by 9. I really don't know whether I like this daily routine or not. But some days would be interesting, some would be dull and others would be normal. Oh! I forgot about my favorite days. Sundays! They are actually Fundays!

My dad comes late from the office. Daily, from 8:30 onwards, everyone would start looking for his arrival. Mom wants to go out for a walk with him, grandparents want to chat for some time with him and I want to play some games with him. He comes with great energy even after having a very tiring day at office. But he can't satisfy everyone. My mom pleads, quarrels with dad to come early. He says just "Okay" but wouldn't follow even on the following day.

Why do dads come late from the office?

Choice - A maya?

Lord Krishna in his song (Bhagavad Geeta) says that "Do follow the commandments of Bhagavad Geeta as His orders. He also said that."He says only what is good for us and whether to follow or not, its our choice. But finally, what He wishes will only happen."

When He knows that what ever He decides, is bound to happen, then what is the maya of choice that we have. And why He has to tell us Geeta.

Though all the three statements seem contradictory, they are facts. To experience the thrill and unravel the suspense drama in our life, we have been given choices, and are in the notion of having free will. But the final decision is already decided , untouched by any one.

Just next step

To unravel the secrets of treasure hunt, I have landed in a completely dark place. I don't know whether to put my step forward or not. But, certainly, I can't go back. Though I am lost in these dark caves, beneath the Earth, I don't want to lose the game. I want to take the next step. But...

Which direction should I move? Is there a way ahead? What is the right way? How to reach my destination? Why? Why? Why so many Questions bombarding me?

Though I don’t know the answers, I believe I have the ‘power and will’ to reach my goal. That’s the only light that can guide me. But why this fear comes and destroys my rays of hope. I should bow to the angel of Fear for courage. Iff he cools down I can see the God of Courage. It’s interesting that both the angel of fear and the God of Courage are taking their turns to spend time with me.

All I can do is just to take next step… I hope and I believe, one day, the rays of rainbow will shower on me.
