Lessons from the last session: Taking Flight 🕊
No story ever ends at unhappiness. If the end saddens you, remember it is not the end of the story then!
The last session at Amal was undoubtedly sentimental. It would definitely remain in my indelible memories while carrying the never-ending , and life-long-learning journeys ahead. Broadening my vision in terms of facing odds at any spot in time, the last session at Amal helped me recognize life as a constant learning experience. What if it betrays you at times? Just like it surprises you out of blues.. And at the moment when you feel so prepared, so determined to conquer challenges. It was never granted to fulfill what one expects from it. But do people stop expecting good from it? I could sense reverberations, reminding me to keep believing in Amal principles of practicing and re-practicing Khudi, Amal, Aik aur Aik Gyara and Kam Kam Kam. And hence I aimed to use these learnings forward in all dealings of my life.
Have you ever felt air halted? Has water ever abandoned its flow? When do hurricanes sweep away sea? Avalanches never extinct species! The air has to blow. Water has to flow! Only hurricanes come at halt and avalanches, merely see prosperity at last. Destruction is the form of another creation. Every ending is a new beginning in its own! Which is why I enjoyed the beginning question-answer activity the most in last session. It instilled in me the curiosity to answer, and unveil the mysteries of life by reflecting on my self. I, absolutely loved some of the questions like ‘ how far do you think you have been able to discover yourself?’
Life is the most unexpected of all journeys ever travelled by humans. Of course it elates you. Exhilarates and jubilates you by offering its beauteous experiences, people and moments to connect; but so does it saddens at times. It tends to exhaust too which is normal and healthy, yet is boring and tedious at the same time. But just imagine how boring would life be if there were no fears of losing loved ones, no fears of getting the setbacks of making wrong decisions and absolutely no panics of facing failure. Something too artificial and inevitably flawless always causes boredom. So we not only planned to meet, someday, somewhere, we would hopefully gather at sometime in-person but a Chaye session during week days of this on-going week is due. Although not physically, but virtually we would rewind and cherish the moments of fellowship at this virtual tea-party ☺
