One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about battles that go on inside the people.
He said my son the battle is between two wolves inside us!!
One is Evil...It is Anger, Envy, Regrate, Greed, Arrogance, Resentment, False Pride and Ego!! The other is good...It is Joy, Peace, Love, Compassion, Truth, Humility, Generosity and Faith!!
The grandson thought about it for a moment and then asked his grandfather,
“Which Wolf wins"?
The grandfather simply replied,
“The one you feel".
I just loved this story when I read it..It is so true!!!! We do feel so many times so differently like above!! At least I do....Angry at situations, people, at myself…!! Envy at those who are better than me....Arrogant oh many times....False Pride...& Ego....well I think that's my most bad traits in me. I feel that sometimes I project myself pride as a false pride or ego!!! I did jeopardized my many relations only because of my ego or my family's false pride...but at that time I felt that it was right at that time. People do act very strange at times & you do reciprocate.....I know my friends & my loved ones will correct me, advise me not to do that, not to feel like that.....and I am also trying..Fighting against that bad Wolf!! But I know that my battle is going to be a long battle!! And like I said previously...Winning over life is must!!! And my basic nature is for winning anything at any cost....see here comes my ego!!!!
Well now feeling good about myself!! I hope one won't take this as my ego!! But at many times I do feel overjoyed because my love & affections are reciprocated!!! I feel so many times tremendously loved by my loved ones!!So many times at Peace because My Malik's Mehar on me!! So many times my Faith in my Malik has shown ways in my difficult life & makes me to go on believing more on my Faith..... I pray I do feel like this all my life along...I bow my head & ask his more blessings on me & my loved ones!!
Struggles continue and shall for the rest of your life. Struggles will not remain what remains are how you dealt with struggle!!! How did you felt at that time?? Which Wolf you allowed to win??
My battle will start from tomorrow as I am going to meet some.....and I do want to feel good....I don't want to fight against the Supreme Being's structure (as so called family). Because I know war of words always brings a different person in you!! So I have to restrain myself from becoming Ugly!! Tonight I am going to meditate of cleansing my mind or rather empty my mind and will start my tomorrow's journey fresh!! Amen!!
Friends I will be gone for a couple of days to Gujarat side.... and won't be able to express myself for a while but will meet you on this soulful journey soon!!!
ઝીંદગી! નહોતી ખબર કે માત્ર તું તો છે ગણિત!
એક પગલું ખોટું ને ખોટો જ આખો દાખલો.....
So until feel being loved by me....billa driftwood.
