Today I would like to tell a story about Lord Krishna. When he was asked by his nephew that wasn’t he afraid to fight “Kaliya naag”? Did he know beforehand that he would be able to defeat him? To this he replied that Yes, he knew it because he has a special power gifted to him by God. Then his nephew asked -“What is that special power?”
Lord Krishna said – It is the “power of Trying”. I believe that if I try with courage and faith in heart, then nothing is impossible. His nephew said –“But all the people try, isn’t it?”
Lord Krishna said-“Yes, everyone can try and trying is the essential thing to do to be successful. In reality, I don’t have any special power which God hasn’t given to others. God is not partial. Everyone is born with sufficient power but fear, greed and attachment stop a person from trying and if a person doesn’t try then how can he/she be successful?”
His nephew said-“But you could have lost your life?”
Lord Krishna said-“Anyways death will come some day, it’s inevitable! Whenever we try, the probability of success and failure becomes fifty-fifty. But one who doesn’t try, the probability of failure becomes hundred percent for him. Always remember son, when fighting against someone’s injustice, atrocity or “Adharma”, there can be only one loss at most and that is death. But not trying because of some fear or attachment leads to two losses for sure, the power of our soul reduces and the Adharma of the other person increases. So it is always better to try.”
We all have moments when we are faced with a choice of whether to get out of our comfort zone and try or settle for what we already have and adjust accordingly. A lot of times we end up not trying, curling even more inside our shells. But don’t you think this life is too short to live with fear in our hearts? Unknowingly we are losing the chances of having the life of our dreams. Imagine how sad it would be to die without knowing your own potential and realizing it and not knowing what you could have been! Imagine if someone tells you when you are on your deathbed that if you would have taken that one risk, you would have been a millionaire or a film star or a famous writer or whatever it is that you wanted to be. How would you feel? Won’t you want to go back in time and act differently? We all know we cannot do that. So now is the time, it’s never too late to chase our dreams. I am not saying that we can take that money or fame with us to our graves. All I am saying is that this life is a precious gift from God then why not live it in the most fulfilling way according to you. Stop existing and start living! Do what you have always wanted to do, you don’t have control on the future, you never know if you are even going to be alive tomorrow, let alone anything else. Then why procrastinate? Do what you want to do right now because life is here, in this moment. It’s neither in the past nor in the future. You can neither undo the past nor control the future, the only thing you have control over is your present. So stop thinking and start acting! May God be with you.
