ज़िन्दगी के पत्थर, कंकड़ और रेत

 ज़िन्दगी के पत्थर, कंकड़ और रेत

Philosophy के एक professor ने कुछ चीजों के साथ class में प्रवेश किया. जब class शुरू हुई तो उन्होंने एक बड़ा सा खाली शीशे का जार लिया और उसमे पत्थर के बड़े-बड़े टुकड़े भरने लगे. फिर उन्होंने students से पूछा कि क्या जार भर गया है ? और सभी ने कहा “हाँ”.

तब प्रोफ़ेसर ने छोटे-छोटे कंकडों से भरा एक box लिया और उन्हें जार में भरने लगे. जार को थोडा हिलाने पर ये कंकड़ पत्थरों के बीच settle हो गए. एक बार फिर उन्होंने छात्रों से पूछा कि क्या जार भर गया है?  और सभी ने हाँ में उत्तर दिया.



तभी professor ने एक sand box निकाला और उसमे भरी रेत को जार में डालने लगे. रेत ने बची-खुची जगह भी भर दी. और एक बार फिर उन्होंने पूछा कि क्या जार भर गया है? और सभी ने एक साथ उत्तर दिया , ” हाँ”

फिर professor ने समझाना शुरू किया, ” मैं चाहता हूँ कि आप इस बात को समझें कि ये जार आपकी life को represent करता है. बड़े-बड़े पत्थर आपके जीवन की ज़रूरी चीजें हैं- आपकी family,आपका partner,आपकी health, आपके बच्चे – ऐसी चीजें कि अगर आपकी बाकी सारी चीजें खो भी जाएँ और सिर्फ ये रहे तो भी आपकी ज़िन्दगी पूर्ण रहेगी.

ये कंकड़ कुछ अन्य चीजें हैं जो matter करती हैं- जैसे कि आपकी job, आपका घर, इत्यादि.

और ये रेत बाकी सभी छोटी-मोटी चीजों को दर्शाती है.



अगर आप जार को पहले रेत से भर देंगे तो कंकडों और पत्थरों के लिए कोई जगह नहीं बचेगी. यही आपकी life के साथ होता है. अगर आप अपनी सारा समय और उर्जा छोटी-छोटी चीजों में लगा देंगे तो आपके पास कभी उन चीजों के लिए time नहीं होगा जो आपके लिए important हैं. उन चीजों पर ध्यान दीजिये जो आपकी happiness के लिए ज़रूरी हैं.बच्चों के साथ खेलिए, अपने partner के साथ dance कीजिये. काम पर जाने के लिए, घर साफ़ करने के लिए,party देने के लिए,  हमेशा वक़्त होगा. पर पहले पत्थरों पर ध्यान दीजिये – ऐसी चीजें जो सचमुच matter करती हैं . अपनी priorities set कीजिये. बाकी चीजें बस रेत हैं.”

One Buddha Teaching That Will Tell You More About Yourself Than Anything Else

Image
In Buddhism one of the ‘Three Characteristics’ is No-Self (the other two are impermanence and suffering which are closely associated with this). This refers to the illusion of reality having a permanent and separate self. There is this notion that there is a permanent “I” or “me,” which is a separate entity that can be found. The obvious assumption of we are our body sounds good until we look at it and say “this is my body,” which implies at that moment that whatever owns the body wasn’t the body. The observer and the observed; duality denies our body being what we are. It is also in a state of impermanence, and at a sensate level it is made up of energy flickering at a similar rate to reality. Perhaps thoughts are the “I.” They may seem more like the true “me” than the body does. But they come and go and are changing constantly too, as well as the majority of them not being under our control at all. They too aren’t something solid enough to assume they are the “I.” The ego is a ...

Powerful advice from a dying man

Image
“I am only 24 years old, yet I have actually already chosen my last tie. It’s  the one that I will wear on my funeral  a few months from now. It may not match my suit, but I think it’s perfect for the occasion. The cancer diagnosis came too late to give me at least a tenuous hope for a long life, but I realized that the most important thing about death is to ensure that you leave this world a little better than it was before you existed with your contributions . The way I’ve lived my life so far, my existence or more precisely the loss of it, will not matter because I have lived without doing anything impactful. Before, there were so many things that occupied my mind. When I learned how much time I had left, however, it became clear which things are really important. So, I am writing to you for a selfish reason. I want to give meaning to my life by sharing with you what I have realized: Don’t waste your time on work thatyou don’t enjoy. It is obvious that you c...
