Age limit

Vijay Garg *



Fear is sitting somewhere inside everyone. Fear of failure, fear of not being able to make an impact on anyone, fear of being separated from loved ones, fear of losing money, fear of losing power. But after crossing a certain age, man's biggest fear is becoming old. The wear and tear that starts appearing in every pore of the body. Energy begins to wane and joy is not the same as before.

The coming birthday no longer makes him as happy as it used to be. He survives as the date of his birthday approaches in the calendar. By seeing. He shy away from looking at the wrinkles on his face in the mirror.

Who knows by what secret method nature works that the same face is seen in the mirror every day, but photographs taken years ago show that the mirror lied, the face has changed. Just now we had understood life, learned the art of living, tasted some of the joys and so soon the trajectory of life came to completion. I wish there was some knowledge, some mechanism by which time could be controlled.

Is it so bad that increasing age and time slipping away?Should the desire to bind Y be given place in the mind? Let us consider what would have happened if by tying a watch to our hands, time would also have been captured in our fists. Everyone has their own time in their hands. Spend it however you want.

But stopping of time would be as if all the doors, all the skylights, all the windows of a room were closed and the air would stop. No matter how beautiful the scene is, it cannot be admired forever. The mind also becomes detached from that. Generally people remain dissatisfied with the present by remembering the happy moments of the past.

It makes one feel the loss of beauty, strength, power and health. Graying hair, glasses on eyes, lines on the forehead, lack of freshness on the face, we were not like this before. Looking back we see how happy we were in the past years.

There were less worries, the burden of duties did not bend our spine, there was no desire for social respect. We had an ocean filled with hopes. We had not seen the pangs of sorrow. We not only had less age, we had more dreams. We used to enjoy the worldly pleasures freely.

Try to find the answer to one question within yourself - was there this glow in the soul? Did the spine have the necessary flexibility to endure suffering? Were we so strong that the storm of conflicts could not blow us away like straw? Did you have the wisdom to face every situation with patience?

There would be very few people who would be able to say with certainty that even ten years ago he was as mature as he is today. We saw that the body grows old, but we could not realize that the soul grows every day by gaining new experiences, new knowledge, and passing through new trials.And keeps getting younger.

The soul was continuously traveling towards its perfection and strength. Why do we feel upset over the foolishness committed in the past? Why do we feel that we wish we had been wiser towards a wrong decision taken at some point in the past? There must be many of us who sigh remembering the joys of our childhood or our youth.

You will also find some knowledgeable people who will flatly refuse to go into the past, because things have been received as a 'package'. By 'time travel' i.e. 'travelling through time'If we reach the truth, we will not reach it with today's intelligence.

Knowledge, experience and maturity will also be lost. Famous American producer director Walt Disney says- 'Growing old is inevitable, but becoming mature is optional!' Whether suffering comes today or tomorrow, it is a blessing !

Happiness comes only as a reward for good deeds. He offers food, but does not teach anything. Even though the body turns yellow due to sorrow, pain and increasing age, the soul keeps turning green. In this way, the seed pods dry up and the sprout continues to grow. us in this birveWe have to nurture it, the seed pod has dried up, we don't have to mourn it.

There are some difficult and unpleasant aspects of aging, but they should not overshadow some of the wonderful aspects of aging. A study found that senior-aged people are happier than middle-aged people.

Saverio Stranges, author on this topic, says, 'This may be due to better coping abilities. Older people have internal mechanisms for dealing with troubles or negative situations, which are better than younger people.Are better at. '

Famous writer Charles Dickens says - 'We should count our age by the changes taking place within us, and not by the years.' So if you measure your age by the changes that have taken place within you, you will realize that some age has not passed yet.

If you think about it, God is such a kind barter that if He takes something from us, He gives us something else of equal quality in return. He secretly replaces the strength of the body with the strength of the soul and we do not even realize it.

A lot of things are happening secretly for our own good, but we are not able to understand.
