Working
on yourself constantly is a necessity many disregard. The greatest impediment
to growth is the lifestyle. Affluence deprives us of the delights of spending
time with Mother Earth…living in villages, walking on green grass with bare
feet, having simple food cooked with great love by simple village folk…these
are great exercises in grounding us and enabling us to experience real people
and real values. It also connects us to our real one.
Even
today, if you go into the fields and meet the farmer, the hospitality is tremendous
and genuine. What you wear or how you look does not matter in the least.
“Atithi
Devo Bhavaha” is a reality even today,
though sadly, not so rampant in cities where we have buried ourselves in dense
matter and forgotten to swim in the flow of genuine emotions.
India,
despite centuries of abuse, has survived on the very strength of its spiritual
and value heritage which has been able to defeat the dark forces of subversion
since centuries and it will continue to
be a forerunner among nations.
