The child at once looked back. To its dismay, his mother had found his hidden haven of soft dirty clay! Without losing a moment, he rose nimbly and ran to embrace her feet. It cried aloud, as if he had lost something very dear and wanted her help.
The whole thought ,with which she had tiptoed, changed.She had come to catch the child, red handed. She wanted to punish him.Instead,she picked him up and tried to calm while she continued kissing and wiping his mud smeared face .The whole air bore an emotion, very different to what she had come, prepared for!
Growing expenses with limited earning started the day in a heated argumentative environment . None wanted to give up their stand. Evening was also expected to open up with similar mood but as he missed the first two steps of the front door staircase,she was beside him,holding his arms to give support,as he tried to ascend.Once again! The air had changed. Both forgot that they had decided to stick to their reasons!
Children were quarreling. Mother went to report it to their father. But when both returned to intervene, the scene had changed. They saw the elder one, combing his little brother’s hair!
If love is warmth,closeness, frankness,compassion ,forgiveness. …..it is also a blend of many more important essential connectives as respect , commitment and acceptance! Of all, “ACCEPTANCE” is the most important!
When the two ends of a relationship are in acceptance to one another, everything, that each sends to the other, falls in line,automatically! Its not a momentry affair, rather a life long tie! Nothing can obstruct ,nothing can weaken , nothing can break it because, its foundation is of “ACCEPTANCE”
Thus, It is said that”All is fair in love and war!” This the reason, why a child cries more loud,before its mother; a man bows before his beloved!…..siblings sort out mutual disagreements ,without help from elders!…..All men look up to the Almighty, without caring about their past mistakes! It seems a like a genetic “DNA OF TRUST!”
We have experienced it! If not all, at least one of the above mentioned situations ! Then we must have taken shelter under one or the other bower of this unconditional feel of togetherness! We are either accepted or accept the other, without condition!
Have you ever wondered, why all of us hold, such relationships in our hearts, strong and permanent, all through life?
It is so because, it’s the most tender, yet the most pious tie of happiness – “The Bond Of Love!”
It is a divine emotion which has no condition!
It is independent of,all influences,be they social, psychological emotional or financial !
Whether, it is a king or a beggar ,there is no difference in the fervency of its feeling and commitment!
It’s an involuntary willful surrender !
It’s an all power submission of souls!
Had it not been so, Sita wouldn’t have accepted Ram’s ! Gopis would not have sent the dust of their feet for Krishna’s recovery! Yashodhara wouldn’t have forgiven, Buddha ! Rani Lakshmibai wouldn’t have jumped from the high rising fort of Gwalior,with her son!………..No Indian would have sacrificed his life for Mother India ! No man would remember his mother in crisis…….neither would Sohni-Mahiwal challenge the turbulent high tides, on a dark night!
“LOVE” is a complete surrender ! It’s a design of an involuntary divine power!
“Acceptance”, irrespective of all weaknesses and strength, is a commitment in mutuality….irrespective of one’s condition and its eventuality!
Acceptance and Love are uniquely absolute and dichotomous in structure. They cannot exist, independently. Neither can life , without them!
This is as eternal as the Sun that rises in the East every morning and sets in the west every evening!
If such be the power of Acceptance, why do we not try it honestly! Perhaps “YOU” too will agree that attitude of ACCEPTANCE will make our lives more peaceful and relaxed! Harmony will rain and there will be peace everywhere!
Acceptance grows happiness and satisfaction all around!
