AM I RICH???

I went for a walk in the morning, my eyes were having some delicacies of nature, talking sunrise, people who were talking while walking and some were listening music via their headphones, smiles and giggles of children over there while playing, singing birds playing squirrels…..

Yea, I was enjoying and was pleased by the environment over there. I was contented to that place and was feeling overwhelmed. By the time I came across an incident which compelled me to think:

AM I RICH OR NOT????

It’s not that I was running through any dearth of money or basic facilities but among all of us only one poor man noticed that there were puppies under the tree and they were hungry. We all are focusing on our routines, chattering etc. but no one bothered about the puppies. The clothes of that poor man were all torn, and it also seemed that he had not taken a bath for a while. Then he took out a plastic bag out of his pocket and shared his chapatti with those puppies. The chapatti was hard. The thing was simple

HE KNEW THE PAIN OF BEING HUNGRY…. WELL WE DON’T….

For a while, my thought process stopped working not because I saw this for the first time but this time it was a man who was poor by resources but was rich heart. I was poor because I didn’t understand that puppies were hungry. I saw my preferences. But being human is this enough or WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE NEED OF OTHERS????

That fine morning was stupendous until my eyes experienced something astonished that made me more human for a while. I know many of us were least concerned about such episodes until some small things touches our heart and soul. That can be anything good or bad….. some experiences, questions by child, talking sad smile of someone, or anything……

YEA, I AM POOR……. BECAUSE I AM NOT HUMAN YET, I AM SELFISH, I FOCUS ONLY ON MY DESIRES, I AM NOT CONTENTED FOR WHAT I HAVE BUT FOR SURE ONE FINE DAY

I will be rich…. I may or may not have money, wealth or materialistic achievements but

MY SATISFACTION, CONTENTMENT AND I WILL RELISH EVERY SECOND WITH MY ENLIGHTENMENT,
AND THAT WILL BE THE DAY WHEN I WILL BE RICH….
