Sham was very hungry since morning.
He didn’t eat much during lunch as he and his team had deadline to complete
their work until evening. At last he completed his work late in the evening.
All the team felt relieved. One person stood up and said it’s time for
celebration. So, they decided to for outing in the evening to the nearby pub.
Sham straight went home and began getting ready for the party. His granny asked
him where he is up to. He said the plans they did for the night in the office.
His granny straight away said no to him, the reason being that he cannot eat
non-veg on that day. He asked her why! she replied that it’s our ritual that we
cannot eat meat on Mondays and you know it very well. He was in real dilemma
now; on one side he was too excited for the party and on the other side there
was granny and the rituals. First, he tried to argue with her that it’s the
modern age and the rituals are very old fashioned and everyone does that, bla
bla bla. but granny was very firm and finally Sham decided to give in. He
assured granny that he will eat vegetarian and that she should let him go.
Granny took promise from him for the same and let him go.
Sham went to party, did whatever he
wanted knowing well that he is lying. Enjoyed a lot and returned home. Nothing
really happened because of eating meat and taking liquor. But what impacted was
he didn’t fear god anymore. He exactly knew nothing happens...
Friends
while we are growing from child to an adult, at every stage we have different
people whom we fear in our lives.
when we are a child, we fear nothing, but our parents induce
their fear in us. That prevents us from harming ourselves and others. Like when
you stand on edge of a balcony while playing, your mom shouts at you to go off
that balcony as you may fell and hurt yourself. So when next time you go to the
balcony you maintain a safe distance, this happens not because you fear of
falling from the balcony or because you
are scared of heights, you do it because you fear your mom, that mom may shout
or hit you when you go to the edge of the balcony.
As you
grow up you go to school and you are little bit matured. So, the new person
emerges in your life. It’s your teacher. Teacher teaches you many things and
scolds and punishes you for your wrong doing. Thus, you get new person in your
life to be afraid of. Likewise, because of this fear you are maintained on a
right track and safe.
When
further you grow up, your fear towards your parents and teachers decreases. Now
you are at puberty and you fear nothing. Mostly at this age you start behaving
errant because of the sudden freedom you get. This is the age where you get a
taste of failures. Now you develop fear of failures. An age comes when you
overcome your failures. Now the question arises whom will you fear. Everything
is overcome.
The answer is god. From childhood
we are taught that he is seeing everything, how you behave, how you act. He
means god. So, the fear of god remains in us lifetime, which lets us think
twice before taking any wrong decision. This fear makes us a noble person and
world a better place to live in.
