Ram was miserable. Angry that household expenses, family responsibility, visitors..were all his cursed burden
Once, his son sought his help to do his homework. Ram scolds, later quietly goes to see his son's book. Homework title read: 'Things we don't like first but later we do'
His son wrote:
"I don't like first then like:
Exams, but thankful for holidays.
Bitter medicine but it cures me.
Dad scolds but gives good toys & food. I thank God, I've Dad, Raju has no dad"
Ram was jolted, realized; "how foolish I'm not to see my blessings, God gave me a home, thank God am not homeless, blessed me with a family that gives love & visitors find me society worthy." Suddenly his 'difficulties' disappeared
We need to realize it's due to our own thought, notion & action that life seems difficult & complicated
Essential aspect of life such as desires, ambition, happiness, emotion, love & relations that are meant to make our life blissful becomes the very reason for our misery, if not dealt consciously
