FACE THE FEAR , LOSE THE FEAR

FACE THE FEAR , LOSE THE FEAR - MY BIKE PHOBIA

Normally, a bike is an attraction to every youngster. But during my days in college, due to certain conditions, I could not learn to drive a bike.

I always had this complex in my mind that if I ever would be able to drive a bike.

After college, I joined a company.

My boss, Anant, was extraordinary in communication. I learned a lot from him.

I was an extremely dumb and less talkative person in my initial days.

I learned a lot from Anant, not only communication but also my self-confidence was built by him.

I started my journey of development even though it was late.

To drive a bike, was one more skill that I was lacking. I used to be ashamed of telling my friends or colleagues that I don’t know to drive a bike.

But now while working, I saw that colleagues are required to go to visit at Client's place on the bike. There were two bikes in the company for us to visit at the client's place.

The boss also was unaware that I don’t know to drive a bike. Somehow, I was escaping from this issue with the help of colleagues.

But one day, he got to know this and he gave me a warning that I must learn to drive a bike.

All the day we used to be busy at work. Then after work, no one would be ready to teach me to drive the bike.

Every day, I used to be under stress as Anant could ask me any day to go by bike.

And finally, the day came.

Anant purposefully asked me to go to the client on the bike.

He gave me the key and said, “You need to go to the client. This is the key of my bike.”

I tried to be smart and said, “Okay Sir, I will go with Vaibhav as it will be helpful to complete the task fast.”

I knew Vaibhav would drive the bike and my problem would be solved.

But, Anant replied, “ Today, no one would come with you. And it is compulsory to take the bike with you. Now you decide whether to go on the bike or walk along with the bike.”

I had no option. I started to go out. Vaibhav came with me to explain the basic gears and brake system.

Finally, I sat on the bike and started with a kick. Fortunately, it started. I started driving with changing gear. But it got shut down within a 10-meter distance.

Vaibhav gave some tips for driving. I tried to drive 4~5 times. I failed as I was not able to drive 100meter also.

But there was no option other than to go on the bike.

I walked some distance with the bike. But the client was at 30kms. I had no option but to drive the bike.

Finally, I decided to drive and took a breath, and started the bike.

This time, I could ride smoothly.

This is how I learned the bike in one day and I lost my driving phobia forever.

The purity of thought

Everything in the world in its purest form becomes its best form. The water when achieves its purest form becomes the sweetest in the taste. When air is in its purest form it becomes the freshest air. The same thing happens with our minds as well. If you remove all your possessiveness from the mind, the mind works most beautifully. If your thoughts are pure, you become the best person. Bhagwan Mahaveer, Lord Ram left everything and become God. Lord Jesus left this world on the cross and it became the symbol of Christians. Lord Gautam Buddha also left his extra luxurious life as a king and became a saint. When your soul starts its purification, material possessiveness goes away from the soul. There was a rich person living in a palace. He was a miser, would not spend a single penny extra, or would not help anybody. Once there was a flood in the town. His palace got immersed in water. He was on the top of the palace. A man with a boat came and as...

Sacrifice

Human life is incomplete without sacrifice. But if we have no other option than to sacrifice something is not actually a sacrifice. It is called helplessness. It has an altogether different system. Also, sacrifice is always to give something and not taking out the life of anybody or anything. When we have lots of options by which we can possess more than what we have or there is no need to donate something to somebody but still if we sacrifice or donate for someone’s betterment is actually a sacrifice. As human beings, we live in society. So it is our duty to donate what society needed. This donation can be small or big but it should be as per society’s requirement. Donation by pure heart gives the best result in terms of real happiness and inner peace. Suppose you are walking on the road with a vegan sandwich in hand. And you see a very poor small orphan boy, very hungry crying for food, ask you the sandwich. You already had food. But you have taken ...
