It’s a holiday season now in India. Though it’s almost coming to an end in the southern part of India, holiday season is approaching its peak in the northern part of the India.You might have noticed that I have not shared any ‘gyan’ obtained from Suswasa for a long time. Because Suswasa is on a holiday!One day as I entered the park for my evening walk, I was surprised to see large gathering of people over there. The pushing and shoving all around transported me to the centre of the gathering. I was very happy to see Suswasa, responsible for the large crowd, standing there.Everyone was curious and longing to listen to Suswasa. He gestured at the crowd to settle down. Soon there was a total silence and anticipation in the crowd.“I was on a long vacation and during this period I learnt that being happy always is simple!Life is a - suffer – both in national ('safar' ) and international language!Just this awareness of ‘what is life?’ is the key.Yes, life is a journey ('safar' ) and life is a suffering. The most important point is journey and sufferings are inseparable like two sides of a coin.Whenever we aspire to achieve something in life, isn’t it true that we always try to reach the top? Take for example, mountaineering. Though mountaineering is a most arduous journey with enormous suffering, the joy, happiness of doing mountaineering is no less than the Everest peak!Another example is pilgrimage to Tirupati. People’s journey does not end on reaching Tirupati. They have to stand in the long queue and amid pushing and shoving, suddenly they are in front of the deity. Though they get very few moments to look at the deity and are pushed away, their happiness does not have any boundary!Therefore, Life is a - suffer – both in national ('safar' ) and international language!Life is a continuous journey and struggle. Just this awareness helps us to face the struggle in a better way and keep enjoying the destinations along the long journey!” concluded Suswasa.There was a harmony between the spontaneous applause of the people around Suswasa and the chirping of birds in the park.
