This one is philosophical !!
Sometimes life offers you two paths and you have to decide your way ! I was confronted with the same question where I did not know whether I should be contended be whatever I have got or should I always keep yearning for more and more . I think contentment is good for short term but eventually you got to better yourself . But then one may say what is the point you are always struggling . My take is that if you are doing what you like , it is not a struggle then . Then you yourself wanna fight for it and you like fighting for it .
Moving to my peregrination to Vrindavan . Though I am not a religious person . By religious I mean who worships regularly .So,day before yesterday I went to Vrindavan ..one place where whenever I go I feel quite peaceful .
There is something special at that place . As soon as you enter you see a beautiful statue upfront .We reached this place at around 1 ..timing when the main temple is closed and it reopens at 4:30 . We asked the localites there what else can we see by that time . They told us about Nidhivan , Kadam ka ped , yamuna river . After having some chatpata spicy snack (kachori ,dhokla ,golgappa) we left for Nidhivan ..
After Nidhivan , went to see Yamuna,kadam ka ped and were back to main temple where devotees were waiting for main door to open ..One thing about this place to be careful about . You got to be careful if you wear spectacles or carry some fruit/sweet . Monkey here dont lose any chance to grab them ! One thing I don't like about this place is their logic of offering ambrosia (prasad) to ones who offer them money as so called "chadhawa " . So this time I and my brother asked for it without offering anything . It was hard for us but we managed it finally :) .

ReplyDeleteYou love or hate, you have to struggle to achieve what you aspire. I wish I could follow the first one. :)
