smaller that the one I really wanted to have.” We have so many complains about

life. We always focus on inconveniences, discomforts and grievances. We have

lost sight of the very beauty of life. We have forgotten the grandeur and

dignity of life.We have forgotten the preciousness of life because we calculate

life in terms of coins, in terms of cash, in terms of trash and dust and mean,

low aims and objectives. Life is much more!... The sense of touch, the sense

of sight, the sense of hearing—these are not ordinary things. God has given us

the ablity to see rainbows, beautiful flowers and butterflies. God has given us

the gift of sight to see mountain ranges like Himalayas, and rivers that flow

incessantly. God has given us vision to see the beauty of nature. Alas,

however, we have lost sight of our sight. We are totally blind to the beauty of

nature, and therefore our lives becomes burdensome. Our lives have become

painful because our sight is not properly used. Life is precious. We are

also gifted with the auditory cabality to hear the beautiful sounds of music

and melody of life, but we have denied ourselves the beautiful gift of the

sense of touch. Therefore we find life boring, painful and strenuous. Life

becomes routine because we have not realized the value of life. We have

realized the value of people and things, but we have not realized the value of

this precious life. Therefore my friends, the first objective of life is

study of life, so we may live life in a

proper manner. Then life will be joyful. Life will be a blessings and a

benedication. We should rejoice at life, but we don’t . Why not? Our

interest are quite different from the very objective of life. When the plantain

tree wants to offer us the plantain fruit, we want to be satisfied with the

plantain leaves and peelings of the fruit, but not the fruit itself. When the

coconut tree is there offering us coconut water, we are satisfied with the

sheell and fibre of coconut, but lost the very charm of the water within.

Creator and creation are one and the same. But if we ignore the Creator and

focus on the creation it only means we want the mirror image and not object. If

we think of the Creator and neglect the Creation then it means we have missed

the very expression, the manifestation

of Creator. Sai Ram (Sharing With Sai Love) Ram.ChuganiRam ChuganiKobe,
