Isn't it simply amazing that all that is essential and important for our well being is available in plenty and is free of cost.Air and water are two very important ingredients for our survival,and for sure as of now there is no dearth of either in the universe.Yet, what is surprising is that we fail to understand and recognise the importance and value of both water and air.It is so true isn't it, that anything that is available in plenty and free of cost carries very little value along with it.
I remember reading somewhere earlier on, "man spends half his life running after money,ignoring his health and he spends the rest of his life spending all the money he saved in regaining his lost health",so very true isn't it??
We are so enamoured by gold, pearls,diamonds, rubies and all the other precious things when they are of hardly any use to us in any way other than may be some status symbol or a temporary feeling of pride at owning them.At the same time I am sure we never acknowledge the importance and need of iron for our body.There is no hesitation to spend a whole lot of money on diamonds and jewellery to satisfy our pleasurestemporarily,which is not at all a requirement for our living actually.It is indeed amusing to observe the importance we attach to things that are of least use to use and actually don't bother about things that are indeed very useful and necessary for us.
If we just are aware or give a thought to the fact that what would be the situation if we had to pay for every breath we take...........,I suppose we would for sure give more importance to the air we breathe in all through our existence.
Not to say that we should stop buying gold or other jewellery but it is always wise to not give in to our small mind and run after material that is not of use to us.Let us remove the curtain of Maya hanging in front of us and be aware and educate ourselves the right way........!!!
