Hi friends, Its really very exciting to write any article for the first time....so here am putting some efforts for writing this blog about a book I recently read... the moment I finished it I started feeling that I must write about all the wavelets those were waving through my mind…
Book Name: the monk who sold his Ferrari
It’s a book written by Robin Sharma...with his fabulous writing style... John, narrates the story about a north American lawyer Julian… Who was facing crisis at every level in his life mentally, physically, spiritually even though he had everything that is ideal in this mundane world… And on one judgmental day Julian collapses in the court room…doctors concluded it as a Heart attack…. And after that Julian listen his inner voice that was ignored for past few years as he was completely obessed with his work…he sold his every possession n headed to India without giving acknowledgment to anyone. In India, when he was starving for mental peace and his actual destination…his zeal about the same show a way…in the mountains of Himalaya he finally met Sages of Sivana, a small ancient group of people which was nearly out of reach of the society living their life with ancient Hindu or Indian principles… From that moment Julian’s life took a new meaningful turn which headed him towards his goal…n then writer describes how one should get the same by applying the ancient Indian techniques while living......
So this is the skeleton of the story….it was completely new experience for me when I was reading this book …I cant catch those feeling so easily but it was not less than any brain storming session for me ..I was thinking - Exactly how many days I passed without sitting quietly n thinking overall about my life?? Or more honestly ever I experienced to seat quietly and ask questions to myself about my own journey? -I love to sing…even though my voice is not so good….but it’s a kind of expression for me…that is one of the thing I enjoy really… Exactly how many days I passed without singing a single line even…and underestimating myself that I cant sing properly….I mean properly word one must forget if its joyful but I cant .. When I came to Pune 2 n half years before what kind of person I was?…I remember that I have changed totally during such a small time in every manner….mentally n physically even…I was so innocent n stupid person that time…I mean I yet not confirmed about my stupidity…! But innocence I lost surely. And yes that was necessary and natural...in such big n cosmopolitan city one must have to adopt the way of living that is suitable at that place… But the thing is that I am running somewhere towards something to get something and this something is yet unknown to me…is that a job that every student want? But how come I believe this? I mean am not having family background where everyone is dependant on me…or not like that my parents can’t afford luxurious life….n even am not having that attitude that I compare my total existence with mere any job?? I have the patience….this thing cant loose down my moral for sure…. Why I always get a question as an answer of my any question? I don’t know... I wish I could ever understand what I want really. But am very thankful to this book because at least this thought process got kick start. This book thoroughly reveals how one must enjoy his life as it’s so precious…they told him small but very useful techniques for mental peace and satisfaction in life…..human mind never ready to get satisfied n we always get tired to chase it…n while chasing we lost the ability to collect tiny particles of joy in our life...it doesn’t mean we ignore our responsibilities but in the list of priorities we must include this spiritual part as well….am saying spiritual....not religious!! Anyways it’s a good experience to dig such things out of the mind especially when you are unaware about their existence…. Today is 20th august, my birthday…and am writing this first article….I think it’s a good occasion to start….right?
