Monday Mantra - Sharpen Your Skills
Greetings to you this Monday Morning.
Once, Bhagwan Indra got upset with Farmers, he announced there will be no rain for 12 years & you won’t be able to produce crops.
Farmers begged for clemency from Rain God Indra, who then said, Rain will be possible only if Bhagwan Shiva plays his Damru.
Farmers requested Bhagwan Shiva again but he didn’t budge.
Disappointed Farmers decided to wait till 12 years.
But one Farmer regularly was digging, treating & putting manure in the soil & sowing the seeds even with no crop emerging.
Other Farmers were making fun of that Farmer.
After 3 years all Farmers asked that Farmer why are you wasting your time and energy when you know that rains will not come before 12 years.
He replied “I know that crop won’t come out but I’m doing it as a matter of “ practice ”. After 12 years I will forget the process of growing crops and working in the field so I must keep it doing so that I’m fit to produce the crop the moment there is rain after 12 years.”
Hearing his argument Devi Parvati praised his version before Bhagwan Shiva & said “You may also forget playing the Damru after 12 years!”
The innocent Bhagwan Shiva in his anxiety just tried to play the Damru, to check if he could….and hearing the sound of Damru immediately there was rain and the farmer who was regularly working in the field got his crop emerged immediately while others were disappointed.
It is the practice which keeps on making you perfect. Practice is the essence of quality survival
So, let lockdown lift after 2 weeks, 2 months or even longer. Whatever trade or professions we are in, keep sharpening our skills, practice with what we have, upgrade our knowledge.
Don’t wait for rain, that is the lock down to be lifted and then start something .... focus on our skills today, upskill yourself so that you are ready to meet the challenges.
Wishing you lots of happiness through the week!!!!
