How many hobbies were not fulfilled in the life of an unemployed person simply because of lack of money. Have you noticed that those hobbies remain unfulfilled in the working life? Now there are two shortages. Money and time. The income sector is one but now the expenditure sector is many. Responsibilities are increasing, diseases are increasing and worries about the future are increasing! Even the lack of money can be met by borrowing and lending, but the lack of time?
You cannot leave everything and go out for the mountains and seas whenever you want. You have no control and right over the time that you have rented out to live as a slave. A salaried person means a modern slave. You have to take permission for everything. You have to say in a low voice, ‘If only you had a little grace. Please, sir!’
As the days go by, the roots are growing. Is your busyness decreasing? Every day, time stands in front of you with new excuses. The number of people in life has increased, I think wealth has also increased, but has freedom increased? Has the desire been liberated? It is difficult to find some time for yourself. How many sacrifices have to be made in secret, how many hobbies have to be sacrificed in public – is happiness found? I don’t think so!
The past that I left behind – colorful childhood and adolescence, maybe even people, for happiness, has that happiness been achieved at all? We dream, fall into illusion and greed and hunger increase, but at the end of the day, what do we have? To speak for ourselves! The numbers don’t add up. How many hobbies remain unfulfilled, how many tastes are not satisfied or what we want is not found – I am helpless in sorrow! A tired traveler. Even to endure, we have to take permission in advance!
Today, the sorrow of money has eased a bit, as it is the beginning of the month, but at the end of the month, it feels like a drag. Let’s talk about money. How quickly the life span that I have heard is very long is passing 32 years, and after a few days, grass will grow on the grave! Is the calculation finished? Has the result of the straight line of the demand and supply been found? How many dreams are still left to be touched. The sea, the mountains or the joy of youth, a good book and a few companions – hobbies have to be left unfulfilled?
Why do people willingly live in the market of subjugation when they are free? What do they have to sell to survive? In all the plots of stories about how short a life is, they do not have freedom. Their own life, their own time, but they have to obey the orders of others. They have to think about who said what, who thought what, and step forward! They have to speak according to the mold made by the master! Why is life so unbearable?
The master is responsible for feeding them, but I have to work hard to find food. You have to sell yourself – then you will get security in the present and future. That too is conditional! Why don’t you give me as much time as you give me? If you give me hobbies, but you are stingy in giving me the ability and time to fulfill my hobbies! One day I will get the leisure to roam, there will be no shortage of money and coins in my pocket, but then I will not have the strength to take care of my body. Unfulfilled hobbies will burn me a lot! If you create life in a very diverse way – O Merciful One!
Different people and full of different stories. I live insignificantly. Some have taste, but no means, and some have means but no time. What game do you play, O Niranjan, when you sit alone? Give me the opportunity to travel to the world of knowledge. Give me leisure in the pages of books. If you don’t give me the strength to fulfill my hobbies, don’t even give me dreams. Take me back to you with full faith – in fervent prayer.
