A small road can give us Wisdom. These words may seem strange to many. But after reading this article many will change their views and agree with me. Every week I go to Rampur from Moradabad (both districts in Utter Pradesh, India) and come back. For the last two years I am repeating this to and fro journey. I have seen the all good and bad shapes of road. I have seen it in all seasons. I have enjoyed its grace and beauty. I have enjoyed its cuts and jumps too. This road is the Part of Delhi- Lucknow highway. It is 27 km in length. It takes nearly one hour to cross this busy road. Thousands of people travel every day on this road.
This road is very familiar to me; I know each uniqueness and weakness of this road. My people before me must have traveled on this road. Even there may be people who know it much better than me. They may be traveling everyday. There memories associated with road may be more than me. There are many people who have died on this road. For there familys road may be associated with bad memories. Every body travels on this road a poor man to a VIP. This road has treated every body in same way.
For the last two years this road is sharing with me some Wisdom, which I am going to share with you. The first this road tells us is never involve deeply with anybody. This road takes lots of people to their destinations. It travels with them up to their destination and leave them there alone for further travel. It doesnt accompany them. But take some other for accompanying to its destination. We also have to accompany people up to their destinations and help them to reach there. Once they get it, our job ends. There should not be any expectation in our mind in return of helping the others. This is the real purpose of our life.
The second point is road remain same in all conditions and seasons. It never changes its direction. It may be in what ever shape, it always take us to our destination. Similarly like road, we should be ready for all difficulties and face them. We should never deviate from our chosen goals. But accomplish them under all circumstances. Many kind of situations may come, but we should be firm like road towards our destination. Our aim should be clear to reach our destination.
Third point is to be open to everybody. Road doesnt distinguish between individuals. Every body is same for him. It never disallows the poor from traveling on it or favors the rich in traveling on it. It is open to a cycle in the same way as to a expensive car. We should also be open to everybody and not to restrict to some. If someone has the need, w e should be ready to fulfill it without any prejudice towards any body in our mind.
Fourth point is satisfaction, road never riches any where or achieves any thing significant. Still road is satisfied. It never welcomes the person coming on it with frustration. It has nothing to achieve, but it is helpful in others fulfilling their dreams. We are in life become so obsessed with our goals, that their non achievement makes us dissatisfied. So we become a frustrated individual. Due to this frustration either our family members or the innocents suffer. We see only our goals and never care about the others. We require changing our outlook.
Road in his silence tells us many things. We require listening to it. For this we require a calmness of our mind. This is filled with worldly needs. We need to reprogram it and learn from the road.
