We are chasing after a moving train.


Our thoughts are continuous. Our mind is restless and fixating. Our body is continuously changing and beating. What are we ? We are an evolving creature and on the move all the time like a moving train. The thoughts is like the cabins linking together and moving in a sequence. Our breathing is beating fast and our heart move in a rhythm and like the sound of the falling rain.

Do we need to live like that ? So , tightly bounded and on the fast track. No  time to stop and stare and to enjoy the beauty surrounding us. Enjoy the clean and cooling air in the morning and on the hills. In no time, the train will reach a stop and some of the passengers will get out and some passengers will move in and it will move on.  That is life. Some people are with us for a longer period  ie a few stops and some will step out in the first or second stop. A few will accompany us to the end of the line.

We can see this analogy and yet, we pay no attention to it. We are blind to the facts.  Just like a marathon runner who continue running until the end of the race. The mind is always focus on the body and the breath while preserving the energy to reach the end. No time to enjoy the beauty and happenings around him or her.
In good times, we finished the race and if our condition is not good, we drop out of the race at certain point.
If our life is in this condition, it is useless and mindless. Just a rat race.

Slow down and cool down and we will see things more clearly instead of in a blur. Relax and enjoy the minute and simple things in life. What is the rush ? The end is the same but the journey can be different.
Just raise your awareness from within and you will feel the greatness that has elude you.

Namaste.
