Life is a game… Play it

‘When the bright star plunge in the dark sea of ether and in mysterious exhilarations, the spirit soar up to lively dreams, in the vast sacred kingdom of the night, singing in boundless spaces. With the soft magic of such nights, the creation seems to unfold and we get a faint idea of the powers who control our lives’. Life is unchartered territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

We are playing a game right from our birth till death. At first we are not adroit or adept with any moves, but gradually learn the tricks of the game.By the time we attain a standard, the game is about to end. But always play a fair game to everybody’s satisfaction. That is what counts in the last...

Thomas Martin wrote: “Souls are like athletes, that need opponents worthy of them, if they are to be tried and extended and pushed to the fullness of their powers, and rewarded according to their capacity”. Fruits give their juice only when squeezed. The capacity to feel and to cause sunshine in our life will yield rich dividends- Buoyant and radiant mental health. It gives a sense of comfort. You are not bowled over your own emotions- by your apprehensions, wrath, love, envy, worries, or guilt.

“We are none of us all a piece, more than one person dwelling with us often in uneasy companionship with his fellows”. (Somerset Maugham) It is not your position that makes you happy or unhappy. It is your disposition.

Keep on going and the chances are, you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard any one stumbling on something sitting down... That is also part of the game.
