It is often said that the best ideas come in the bath. And this one too comes from there.
If you stop to con
sider learning from a palmful of shampoo, you will be enlightened. When you are washing you hair, you take just a palmful of shampoo at best. Too less will not do the job and too much will mean wastage. In the limited span of time that the solution spends in your hair, it cleans, cures dandruff, conditions and nurtures the roots. If it spends to much time there it will lead to your hair matting and it will have to be forcibly removed. If it spends less time in there, it will not do the job. Our existence, pretty much, is like a palmful of shampoo. We have a limited tenure and limited utility. In the time that we are allowed by the user, in this case the Creator, we have to complete our 'mission'. Some of us are just like ordinary shampoo that just cleans. Some of us have multiple features like conditioners or ones that add a fragrance and still others have the properties of a hair tonic too. Each shampoo brand is different. But all have to perform one, singular duty for sure: they must clean our hair. Think about our life in those terms. We have to live our lives with the same commitment. We are created here with a purpose. And we must fulfil that cause. In this journey, we have no right to complain or get angry or be depressed. Our manufacturer has decreed us to perform certain tasks and we have no choice but to accomplish those__without fear or favor__in the limited tenure of our existence.
Learnings:
1. A palmful of shampoo can teach us about life
2. That we are here for a specific purpose
3. That we must fulfil that purpose without fear or favor in the limited tenure of our existence.
