One
thought keeps returning; that all we ever owned was what we gave away. If I give someone one moment of fear, I have
created a moment of fear that will exist for eternity; that will remain a
moment of fear for ever in all forms of timelessness. If I pass on a trace of
hatred, l have created a bit of hatred for all parallel eternities. If I emit
restlessness or insecurity, then that is what was mine to give to all generations
living and to live.
Countless
millions of situations, thoughts and emotions will always add up to make one
sum total called ‘life’. What I can contribute to it is what was mine, what I
had to GIVE, what I owned, what I was. And each passing day is adding up.
It is all
very well to aspire to be better and do good tomorrow, but all the todays add
up…
**********************************************
The
little girl stirs early, when the window is just lighting up with the softness
of a new day. Her small voice is filled with hope, “Papa, ajj kal ae?” (Papa,
is it tomorrow today?)
The parents
clutch at the remaining vestiges of sleep. Papa surfaces slowly into the world
of the living, “Hmm.. Haanji…” (Hmm… Yes…)
She is
too young to go to school yet. Her brother, a few years older, sleeps like a
log. He is a late riser. Her voice is a bit stronger now, surfing over all the
possibilities if what she is hoping for turns out to be true, “Papa, ajj kal ae
na?” (Papa, today is tomorrow, na?)
Papa
smiles deep within, “Haanji bête, ajj kal ae!” (Yes child, today is tomorrow!)
***********************************************
It has
taken more than 12 years to really understand that yes! today is tomorrow! All
my yesterdays were real; they happened; and because of them my today is. And
this today is what I have in hand; everyday; today after today upon today
following today! And tomorrow is what I make of it today. Because today is the
tomorrow I hoped for yesterday. All the hopes and dreams are alive today. Years
of love and aspirations, efforts and achievements, are meeting today. The
birth, growth and fruiting are all today. And tomorrow is today.
I must give something
today, now. In fact, I AM giving all the time. Only, now it is time that I started
making the right choices; do I wish to give indifference or compassion,
ill-will or love, frowns or smiles, confidence or anxiety, doubt or faith, sorrow
or joy, greed or contentment, lethargy, a helping hand…
I am a part of the
Creator; and these are all mine to create! I must choose wisely what I wish to
leave behind for tomorrow, today.

bitti, ajj kal ae!
